Quickly suggested video settings

By pimaf

Of course the graphics on Ultra settings will be better overall and thanks to the cats, but with a frame rate too low at this stage of development I can't drive. The game freezes in the middle of any curve. After numerous attempts I have come to some compromises that make a race with 9 opponents playable (if you have frame rate problems forget about the 24-car races) obtaining a decent frame rate on the ninety-ninth percentile, the elimination of sudden freezes in the game on curves and at the same time a very respectable graphic rendering. I hope I can be of help to someone.

Overview

Suggested Video settings.

It's also recommended to set a pretty sunny day in the race meteo options, because a rainy track is fantastic to see and to drive but hard for video card

On my 27" Full HD monitor I have a low pixel density and I have to set the anti-alias filter multisample to 8x to eliminate the annoying jaggies on oblique and curved lines. If you have a better monitor or a less demanding eye you can lower the anti-aliasing and evaluate the trade-off between graphic rendering and performance gain.

The same goes for the anisotropic filter, which improves the quality of distant objects, making its shapes well defined and eliminating the annoying blurring.

Modulate the anti-alias and anisotropic filters values if you have to do so to get an acceptable frame rate, but I suggest you give up everything else (shadows, reflections, sky, motion blur) and keep these two filters at the highest possible level.

Don't forget to make your own tests.

PRESET

custom

UPSCALING

ANTIALIAS

multisample 8x
cinematic NO (blurry)
FXAA NO (blurry and laggy)

TEXTURES

anisotropic filter ULTRA
texture dimension ULTRA

DETAIL LEVEL

detail level ULTRA
Experimental LOD NO
static detail (it work with activated experimental LOD only) so NO
vehicle detail ULTRA

LIGHTING

SET ALL TO MINIMUM (you don't notice difference in game)
global illumination MEDIUM
ambient occlusion OFF
volumetrics LOW

REFLECTIONS

SET ALL TO MINIMUM (you see big difference in showroom but you get almost the same graphic result during a race)
enviroment reflexion LOW
car reflexion LOW

SHADOWS

SET ALL TO MINIMUM (you don't notice difference in game)
shadows VERY LOW
experimental sim shadows OFF
sim shadows LOW
screen space shadows OFF

ENVIROMENT

(you don't see differences in the sky and grass while racing, the first level for grass is enough)
grass density LOW (if you set OFF all the grass disappears)
Cloud density LOW (the minimum is good enough, I see the same sky)

POST PROCESSING

(leave default)
- post processing presets DEFAULT
exposure 0.0
fidelity fx contrast 0%
veil type SOFT
depth of field ULTRA

MOTION BLUR

SET ALL TO MINIMUM (you don't notice difference in game)
motion blur quality OFF
motion blur strength 0%
motion blur central quality 0%

MIRRORS

<Quick troubleshooting> mirrors mode SINGLE
mirrors resolution HIGH
mirrors view distance ULTRA
optimized rendering ON
mirrors capture mod FIXED

<Quick troubleshooting> if you can't set virtual mirror from UI settings because it is deactivated, then come back in video settings, set mirrors mode ALLS and come back to UI settings to set virtual mirror ON. Finally you can set "SINGLE" mirrors mode again on Video settings without losing virtual mirror activation in UI settings.

During a race I'm able to clearly see a distant opponent's car in front of me on a long straight with its decently defined edges.

DETAIL LEVEL

vehicle detail ULTRA

Keep in mind that these suggested settings are designed for a single screen at 1920x1080 (Full HD). If you use a 2K or 4K monitor, the pixel count is significantly higher, so I fear the only solution in that case might be a more powerful graphics card. I imagine (and hope) that the graphics will be further optimized in the near future to increase performance.
P.S.: Remember that if you're competing, the number of opponents significantly impacts performance. It's been a while since I've tested it, but I was able to play decently with up to nine opponents.

I can't find texture quality in the settings and my vram hits the limit the game stutters so bad please help

Thank you for this guide, made the game run more smooth without looking ugly

Be aware FXAA is usually disabled by the nVidia driver anyway. I cannot comment if the same is true of AMD drivers.
Another thing is if I use nVidia upscaling, EVO crashes. With upscaling disabled, I can drive for hours. I have tried FSR yet.

pimaf [author] 30 Jan @ 2:30pm

@gobluteam Thanks for your feedback. I think these settings are more effective on Full HD resolution. Native 4K allows you to use FSR with better results, although I don't like the frame latency much, but I found FSR on Full HD blurry.
BTW, everyone needs a different level of anti-aliasing based on PPI density. On 4K the PPI is always high, the pixels are very dense, so you can lower the anti-aliasing filter while maintaining a good level of quality.

Very nice organized guide! It did not work for me though I still got better fps on 4k medium preset with balanced FSR 60-70 fps....I also think it maybe looks better too.

Trying these settings I dont get over 52 fps and my VRam usage goes from 14gb to 15+gb and I feel like it somehow looks worse?. Doesnt really make sense lol.

I did turn some stuff down to high from ultra (everything)
and turned all the mirrors down to low
Msaa x2 not x8 and got around 60-65 fps but idk
I still feel like it just doesnt look as good as 4k medium preset with FSR on.

Im on a i5-13600k rx6800

I still think the guide is great and put together very well! Doing something like this takes a lot of time and effort! Thanks!

i run the game on max settings at 75fps not tried faster yet but card runs at 46-48 oC ok igot agood pc is714900 32gb ddr5 and 4080 super, but still no FFB on pro wheel on a 49" screen at 5120 x1440

You'll be bottlenecked by your RAM.

@sirhenry me too. Better AC right now but I see huge potential in AC Evo.
