Appreciate these types of videos, would love to see a series of vids on ACC car setup tips with some explanation on how to balance the car out to get maximum performance once you've got a track down (consistent racing line, braking points, lap times, etc.)
You know, a while back I read a snarky comment from a subscriber who was pretty upset because they were under the assumption you received the NLR traction plus free. They threatened to leave the channel. And you retorted and explained the system was on loan and furthermore, if they had any idea how much time you put into your channel on top of a full-time job they would extend more respect.
You're not kidding, just realizing how many processes you undertake to present to us quality material to make informed decisions is mind blowing. Thank you for the sacrifices you make in your personal life to make this channel something we all enjoy (sim racing) enjoyable.
Thanks mate. As Denzel Washington once said, you’ll never be criticised by someone doing more than you.
I have to thank you, I tested your modifications and...I was convinced that I had the game tailored to me but in reality it is now much more immersive and this series of modifications has been a total gamechanger.
To be fair you're videos are the best looking sim videos out there. Keep up the good work mate
These settings are running beautifully on my rig. I was even able to crank a few more of the settings to 'Epic' without a sizeable dip in performance as well. Thank you as this not only looks, but feels like a truly immersive sim now!
This may have already been mentioned, but your explanation about DLSS was incorrect. It does not dynamically scale the resolution, it uses a static resolution which is selected depending on which "DLSS Quality" setting is chosen, with "performance" being the lowest internal resolution. Then, it uses a machine learning algorithm to artificially create new pixels to bring the final resolution back to the desired resolution. From what I've found, performance mode halves the internal resolution before applying the machine learning algorithm to create new pixels. The sharpness selection then, from what I understand, is just a traditional sharpness filter applied after the machine learning algorithm to make the final image look more sharp. Basically, unsharp mask without the ability to change the radius, and the percentage being how much sharpening is applied.
Found this hilarious as well.
Applied your settings to ACC on my system and it looks and runs awesome!!! Thank you so much for this!
Glad it helped!
Amazing how these few tweaks change the performance, look and feel of the whole game!
It runs and looks great! Thanks a lot!
Made all the difference ! My video card is 5 degrees cooler and frames went from 70 to 120 !!! Thanks Will !
I wouldn't know what to do if I had a sim as awesome as yours will! I thought going from a g29 to my first direct drive set up was a big step but you sir are on a totally different level!! I love it
¡Thats a huge upgrade! ¡Enjoy!
@@ravelord4028 I am enjoying it!! Thank you! It's night and day difference
Awesome video mate. Cheers from the Westsude AU
You are my ispiration! I just got my Fanatec DD, now I'm using it on formula cockpit in triple screen with GoPro like you! it's really great 😎😎
How did you get yours? I can’t find them anywhere
@@MilitarAmericano hey man im from italy, i think depends of the availablity of your country, check it day by day beacuse Fanatec sometime upgrade the stock
@@charlesracingsim2096 thanks brother
Great video... I thought I had some good settings for my RTX3060 on my 34" widescreen but with some of your tips I could easily boost from ~110 to ~130 FPS. Thank you very much! :)
How did it turn out? Just got a 3060 about a month ago and I’m seeing this video at work.
How do i access the video settings?
Cheers Will. Perfect timing - about to install ACC for the first time today.
There's a reason a signed up as a supporter here. Probably my favorite YT channel at the moment. Always quality videos!
Thanks for the support :)
@@boostedmedia thanks for the killer content mate! Greetings from Florida!
Appreciate these videos, Will! Getting all my friends back into ACC and this is the perfect thing we needed to jump in.
Excellent guide, helped me fine tune the game to look a million times better!
thanks now my videos look more realistic than before
Step 1: buy a 3090
Done
@@j2glizzy welcome to the 3090 club 😂
Done and done
Come in 4090
4090 now
Thank you so much for this Will, really helped me!
Very helpful, and i am happy that you can run such i high graphics setting for your 3x4k Monitor. Amazing job and thx a lot for introducing.
Perfect video! Used this to record my first RUclips video and managed to get stable 80fps, think I need a new gpu 1080ti is a tad old now 😆
Thank you for this, late to the game, I shall review my settings!
for dlss
performance give u best fps
for quality u get best image
majority of the pc community uses quality for the better image
Thanks for this man! will try make mine better after watching this. Would love one for iRacing too with focus on best settings for night races.
me too
Note: setting a frame rate limit to exactly what the monitor refresh rate is can hurt performance if there is no variable refresh rate sync. This is because the GPU is not guaranteed to output a frame at the exact interval the monitor is refreshing at.
Try contrast 0.80 and exposure on 0.25 , with 90 saturation it looks more real for me.
Damn!!! You saved my game play on this!! My graphics looked terrible, unplayable even after upgrading from 2080 super to an AMD 7900xtx. Thought I got a bum deal. My wife works at AMD so we get a nice discount we couldn’t pass up compared to nvidia prices.
Weird, my XTX runs everything on max and will do about 200 fps on a 1440P ultrawide.
Extremely useful. Thank you! We are running the same 3090 and resolution and you’ve just gained me nearly 20fps!
Thank you again. Rich
Thank you, i think the only thing missing was the global/program settings to use under GPU control panel which has nearly as many options
Thanks Will. Great info. 👍
Thank you so much for sharing. Never thought dlss performance would look so good, I've already tried it too before but never added so much dlss sharpening. Had to set some details from epic to high with my 3080, but for now I'm very happy - and waiting for the 4090 to be released 🙈
@MaxJacuzzi can I get your 3080 than? I'm still on a GTX 1080 here... :/
@@UniQue1992 😄 a friend of mine also always tells me not to complain running a 3080 😉
Great video, but your DLSS explanation is incorrect. The DLSS sharpness has nothing to do with the resolution it renders at. The sharpness is simply a post processing effect if you find the upscaled image is too soft.
Hello, if you play with curved monitor, like the new ultra Gear tested by boost media, it will be more complex.
The images will be stretched to the sides, so use projection correction at a value of 1.This will blur your image in the center, to remedy this it will be necessary to desactivate the DLSS and increase the resolution to 120%.
It cost FPS but The image will finally appear realistic and correct
Tx a lot for this info, really appreciate it i myself have a samsung 49 G9 Neo and now this fixes my problem and looks good. Would you share you re graphic settings if you dont mind? Cheers
@@Hush187hush I'm running the 49 G9. I've found a good middle ground is using FSR on Ultra. Temporal with Ultra settings was 70fps. DLSS at 170fps. FSR about 120fps. DLSS looks shite in my opinion..But FSR Ultra was near close to Temporal. Don't know your specs...But worth a try if you struggle for frames.
I have no issues getting it to run in 4k between 90- 120 hz it does well on my rig it's not as nice as yours but I does the job just fine
Thank you! Will definetly try out the image customization :)
Cheers mate for the informative video.
Thank you for this - just setup with a newly 3090ti and it looks so much better ..... like amazing :-)
Epic Video explanation, but one thing was missing, the triple settings and FOV, those are the main config to look awesome to just play along or record videos, lets do this one too and if possible a good close view at the bezelfree tweaks
Not really the subject of this video. Might do a seperate video about it but I just use the measurements. I talked about screen placement in my rig tour video recently.
@@boostedmedia for sure i saw it, actually i started to do videos like yours as well and of course im not trying to live of making videos, but i build a triple 50 inch full motion rig, using the best i could find here in brazil, and for me, the FOV part was the worst to get it done, and as you can see going to my channel is that im far away from the quality that you put in play here, bur just for fun im doing. I used a lot of yours tips
And tricks by carefully going to all of your videos, im a very thankfully of what you have done.
Awesome, keep pushing my friend!
I dont know who needs this info: Setting Post Process to MEDIUM and shadows to LOW will still give you decent shadowing effect on the cars nearby. No need to set shadows higher than LOW if you are struggling with framerates / temps.
For AMD users: the teporal upsampling is working very well in this game, very similar to what FSR2 does, so it can be used instead of DLSS to get a lot more fps, but you must apply the right amount of TAA to get a nice result, depending on your screen resolution. This is what I use on my RX470: resolution 2160p, resolution scale: 50% (so it's rendering in 1080p), antialisaing: high, antialisaing type: TAA, TAA gen 5 is optional, you get a nicer result with on, but more fps with off. And the most important: Temporal upsampling on. And don't forget to set every sharpening setting to 0%. The minimum settings to make the shadows look nice and the cars not floaty: shadowns, shadow distance and post processing to mid. You can also set view distance to low, car lod quality to 25% and turn off contact shadowns without hurting the overall image quality and get more fps.
Good stuff.
Sry but i did everything but the game looks ok in the cockpit but the quality of the mirrors and the distance the game look like i played with an old graphics card
I run a 4090 and my monitor is a wqhd 144 hertz
Do i need a 4k monitor or are there other settings on the pc to change
Great vid .. very informative!
tried the exact settings and it looked so bad haha really is different for everyone , everything is clear but the mirror looks all pixelated
STOPPP POSTING THIS, EVERY time you post i think I WANT ONE OF THISSSSS hahahahaha
Fantastic! TU! Now can you share your GoPro setting's as well? i do record some POV Races and sure my settings could improve
Ooohhh Mann this kinda excited me without mods hopefully I just finished CM csp pure .205 install and it looks unreal good the best looking racing game on earth peter and iljia know what they are doing
Great content and advice. I'll have to keep this in mind
You should start streaming on Twitch. A bit of live performance and racing would be big fun i think :) Keep going on with your content. Its awesome.
Don’t have time I’m afraid.
Thank you very much!
Great vid guys, can u do a similar iracing vid soon
Nice Video. But where can I hide the steering wheel / arms in ACC? Thx
Pause, view settings, go across and you’ll see hide wheel/arms/both 👍
Really informative, thanks. Especially for me as the shockingly bad state GT7 is in atm is causing me to spend more time on my PC titles for good multiplayer racing.
Would love to see what you do in Adobe. Both my Dad and I are self taught (yay RUclips tutorials) but I always enjoy seeing how other creator's, particularly high quality ones like yourself go about things.
Great job as usual mate!
Thanks will be checking this out. Could also do with some simucube 1 settings as well 20nm would one of your old videos work possibly. I'm having more trouble with AC really
Do you have a video showing the way your physical setup is done? The roll bars, netting, etc
Thanks Will!
Thank you. question; Where did you take your racing gloves ??
In notepad++ using CTRL+G will allow you to GOTO a line number. Save scrolling.
my question is 2 fold. at what psi does life start. and the 2nd is what are the settings when you have a monster style pc like 5900x 3080 or same 3090. thx
I appreciate you saying that not a lot of people have this setup. But some of us do and we have so many detailed questions I really wish you could help. Can you please focus a lot on how to use the GoPro to film in a room that's most of the time dark yet the screens are always bright. I struggle so much with my GoPro settings in the last year to get it to look good
Turn off auto exposure and set the ev value manually. I'm sure they're also shooting in some sort of LOG format for using colorgrading LUTs in post.
Time to necro comment, with regard to frame rates and monitor refresh rates, if you’re not able to achieve frame rates matching your monitor’s refresh rate or exceeding it, you want to run say 1/2 the frames of your refresh if you’re under or some other fraction of your frames that would mesh up evenly, same with going over. So in your case with 144hz monitors and already seeing frames in the 70-80 range, I’d personally lock it in at 72 and see how that looks for your smoothness, it can also help with those dips.
Maybe the 4090Ti allows to run everything maxed out at 3x4K144Hz! Does ACC support SLI?
Thanks for the tip on the screen resolution setting in the *.json file. I will try that out. 1. Do you set the resolution in the *.jsaon to 3840 x 2160 or to 11520 x 2160 (or whatever the bezel corrected setting is) as it will be set in NVIDIA Surround? 2. What is your horizontal eye level in relation to the center line of the screens? The bottom of the screens looks very low. I have 3 x 55' 4K 120Hz screens and set it as low as the stands allowed me to. Maybe I need to raise my rig a bit. 3. How far are your eyes from the center screen? 3. I assume that you set the angle of the side screens in such a way that your eyes are the same distance to the centers of all three screens. I'm running an AMD 5800X3D paired with a 3090Ti and would like to get the maximum out of it.
Yep use the bezel corrected resolution. Have a watch of this video for the other questions….
ruclips.net/video/XpG199_V_Xo/видео.html
I got a 3080 ti. I only have a 27inch monitor right now but thought about getting an ultra wide or a lg c3 48 inch. I still have to buy all the gear though lol. Pc specs are 9700k 3080ti 32gb ram.
nice tutorial on settings, thank you, helped a lot. also... does anyone know how i would get the "Bosch" rear view video screen? i can not find an explaination anywhere on how to add it to my dash.
Step 1: have an insane pc and rig
Yep - no way I'm running any of these high/epic settings with my GPU
Yesssssss! I've been dying to know. I'm running a rtx3080 on a triple 1080 LG Ultragear set-up. Never understood why I couldn't make it look even close to yours.
THANK YOU
I would love to know how you set up the FFB for ACC with your Simucube 2 as mine feels like a big rubber band and I can't feel any connection between the tyres and the road!
You can run without full screen for triples, set to disabled and use 'Windowed Borderless Gaming' tool, set the resolutions in there, with negative 1 screen offset for left most side and it will capture the exe once the game is running. Then no issues switching out to other screens\windows or messing with json config file. And no need for nvidia surround.
Also - if you want fullscreen, set up all these settings first and then lastly go into the .json file, edit your resolution, and then set the file as Read-only. The game will then not be able to change the config.
i hope they fix the resolution option for triple 4k currently it's such a pita
I have a 3070 rtx an have to say that your settings are beautiful and them running constant on 144 fps in my case 🔥
how many monitors?
@@Nixer1919 6
Only 1.
So to make it look the best, run everything at high or epic. Got it
Hopefully you got more from the video than that when it comes to getting the best balance of performance vs. quality.
Dear All , me again :) ok this is where I am today . As you know I changed my triple screens setup for three brand new Aorus fo48u screens and I've been playing ACC for the past couple of days.
I have my settings on high which my PC should be able to manage fine. I usually get 85+ FPS.
Those monitors are adaptive-sync enable .
I am also using nvidia surround and I was able to successfully enable gsync via the nvidia control panel.
My FPS always stays consistently high and I never see it dipping, however I do notice a lot of micro stuttering now when playing , I never had this issue before and the only thing that has changed on my setup are the screens . The game is not as smooth as it used to be , this is a reality and this is even creating a lot of fatigue for the eyes .
I also tried different fixes I found here and there but nothing sees to be doing the trick .
No other game I play has this issue, for example AC and MAS2 are perfectly fine.
Does anyone know what might be causing this and what I can do to fix it? thanks
Ok I have a very first level of answer . It looks like nvidia surround is NOT compatible with gsync . I was able to proove this by using the pendulum nvidia demo . When surround is desactivated I can run the demo and click on the gsync option and it work . With nvidia surround activated it does not work .... so now the question , are we able to run ACC WITHOUT NVIDIA surround ? if someone knows a working trick please reach out to me , I tried SWRE but it does not work on my machine . thanks all !
You should do this same quide for VR! :)
I have. It’s linked in the description.
@@boostedmedia Yes, but its 2years old. Now You have better optimization pod VR after 1.8.. :) and a lot of new graphics options..
are these good settings for a xl90 tv as well. going to try it out tonight and set it up.
Great video .. one query .. why didn't you go for 65" Oled's rather than 65" monitors ?
Less Input lag, No gsync and higher refresh rate.
@@boostedmedia True, but those would be imperceptible differences esp. for sim racing whereas picture quality difference would be quite stark. Your setup itself looks beautiful and with stellar picture quality of an Oled it would be mind blowing. Maybe next upgrade 😊👍🏻
It’s not going to triples changing the json configuration, has things changed?
Much higher quality replays after following the advice in this video, thank you! Is there any in-game FPS monitor please?
Nvidia Geforce Experience has an inbuilt monitor you can bring up. Otherwise there’s a few third party options like FRAPS
@@boostedmedia You can use Steam as well, and some monitors have that function too.
@@brulaapgaapmeester8052 thanks using GeForce fps mon now.
ACC does have a built FPS counter but it isn't very clean. \Documents\Assetto Corsa Competizione\Config\hud.json , change ("fPSVisible": 0,) to ("fPSVisible": 1,).
@@i2nupmanThank you sir! I am using GeForce FPS and it tells me everything is at 120FPS even after i set everything to EPIC, so i guess, not need to look at FPS display anymore haha. I am using 3080 and single LG C10 TV as a monitor. I guess triple screen and VR are much more demanding in GPU.
que bueno que haces estos videos
Thanks for the tips. When setting up the custom res, (11,520 X 2160) I have a gap at the bottom of the monitors showing the desktop. Any suggestions? Running 48" 4k OLED 140Hz 3840 X 2160
tq bruh
As I understand it you want VSYNC and GSYNC on at the same time.
All epic here at 5760x1080 on my 3080 but pretty well CPU limited to 85-105fps thanks to 11th gen Intel.
Oh yeah, resolution scale at 115%
Hello,
It's amazing in 2022 that with the powerful pc's on the market to have such a poorly optimized graphics engine like this UE4
May I remind you that this engine does not manage the triplescreen and it is emulated !
The problem is that Kunos has done nothing since its release on the poor quality and rendered on 3 screens and vr
This game was made on a management of 1 screen without taking into account the triplescreen and the vr
When I see the poor quality of mirrors and shadows
I'm in triplescreen in 2K 32" with the best config from AMD
From me yes 4K is useless in Simracing because no simracing game manages that !
I'm surprised that people don't to tell the truth about this rendering which is not what a game should be offered with the powerful PCs on the market !
When we see the rendering on Assetto 1 which is more than 8 years old and modders make this more beautiful than the UE4 engine which is normally one of the best graphics engines but badly used by Kunos
I tried all at the settings level and the result is the same and this is not because of the pc or the screens but of the source
Best regards
Can’t agree more!
In ACC the mirror quality and shadows plopping up is a shame - i really can’t enjoy this…
I like the sharp picture in iRacing mirrors!
ty
was wondering if you are running some mods that it looks so good cause I have it maxxed it and it doesn't look as good as your videos ;o]]]
Wasn't the world wide consensus always to set the FPS Limit 3 FPS below your screens resolution ?
Because setting it at the exact limit of the screen can lead to small hickups when it goes 0.1 or 0.2 over because the synchonization isn't within the limits anymore and even GSYNC/FreeSync need to react to that whilst they usually would just work the lower end FPS to be smooth. Thats at least what almost everyone says, so I am just curious if this has changed or what other reason is there you keep it at the exact Screen-Frequenzy?
I’ve never found that to make a difference in any of my systems. But it makes sense. This is just the settings I’ve found to work well.
If you're only getting 70-80 frames anyway, why not cap it to 72 fps? So the image gets refreshed every 2 cycles and you gain a bit of overhead you might use for a bit more fidelity...
My monitors are gsync so I prefer to just let it do it’s thing.
Hi Will, for the triple screen settings do you use the exact distance between the monitor and your eyes, or have you adapted to your comfort? I am using a 3080 with triple 1080, Acc at the graphic level on full hd is not the best, especially when you see the cars from a distance, despite the auto lod at 100% after a few meters they lose quality
I run it with the actual measurements.
@@boostedmedia thanks Will, if you like, watch my two immersive videos, right now I don't have much time to make others. hope to resume soon
I have an ultra wide. I notice turning triples on I get more widescreen/triple m settings in "view settings pause menu" to play with...or you feel im going about that wrong?
I got a 4090 and maxed out all my settings. Literally running 90hz in VR 😅
I would hope so, considering that's an $1,800 GPU!
Tweaking color is so huge noticed it first in this game and gt7 you can white out stuff to make it look more real and honest this stuff has bigger effect than settings even low res I use 720p projector/ or 720 aproc crt
I tried editing the json file with ACC closed, but when I open the game to look for the 5760x1080 res seems the game overwrites the entry I just made, back to the 1920x1080 that my monitor is set at. Any suggestion?
I get this issue too. Did you ever resolve it?
@@dibley1973 I did not, was hoping @Boosted Media would see it or someone else here and have an idea.
Not sure on that one Im afraid. Haven’t had that problem. Maybe file permissions related?
Good video but same issue here, I have 3 monitors in native res 2560x1440 but every time I set the menuSettings.json with 7680x1440, ACC just ignores it and starts on a single monitor 2560x1440. I guess I'll have to go back to "Simple Runtime Windows Editor" (SRWE) tool, which is very annoying, how come a sim like this not work with 3 monitors natively??!?
@@nunoalexandre4273 If you have an NVidia card you can use the NVide tool to create a custom resolution of 7680x1440 for your LEFT-MOST monitor. You can then select that resolution in ACC.
dlss setting is greyed out for me , been using it for different games so i dont know why its not letting me use it
Looking for same video for iRacing on 3080 on triple G5 1440p !
A more apt title would be, “our settings.”
Very informative, thank you. I have recently switched to a triple 27" 1440p screen setup and I find graphics in the distance look a bit blurry and washed out. Anything you could recommend for AMD users in terms of AA settings and what could be the reason for the blurry graphics in further distance? I have tried FSR which gives a nice boost in performance but also enhances the blurry graphics even with FSR ultra quality settings. Thank you, appreciate your well made content on your budget rig. ;)
Yes bin off the displays and get 4k :P What's your anisotropic filtering set to?
@@Space-O-2001 haha, thanks I'll get some 4k screens then :P. Anisotropic filtering is set to x16 in AMD driver. Not sure if there is another setting in ACC though.
@@danieldulberg2167 I don't think any amount of magic is going to make up for a lack of pixel desity - curveball question have you tried it with lower or turned off AA?
@@Space-O-2001 yes, I have played with the AA settings quite a lot. I found KTAA to provide the best results overall. I don't like the looks of FXAA and TAA gives me a lot of ghosting. So I sticked to KTAA and experimented with the quality settings. Lowering the AA quality gave a boost in performance but the blurry graphics in further distance remain. Any car that is close to my windscreen looks crisp and clean, but if they pull away it becomes more and more blurry.
Think I need to finish all races P1 to fix the issue ;-)
Same problem here
Hi Will
May I ask if you found a difference setting the graphics up yourself compared to Invidia GeForce Experience recommended settings?
I haven’t tried their recommended settings.
@@boostedmedia Well my recommended GeForce Experience settings put everything up to full tilt. I just adjusted everything to how you have it, I will let you know what difference, if any, there is.
I ended up going the GeForce recommended route (almost everything Epic) with a few changes:
Saturation 90 (like you suggested)
HLod enabled
DLSS sharpness to 62
I find that these settings work for me.
How do i access the video settings?!
What should the fsr sharpness be set to? Leave at 80?
