Paid Member Graphics Settings Folder Access

Welcome to my Patreon Paid Membership, thanks for supporting my content. If you need any help setting this up please DM me or comment on one of my YouTube videos and I will do my best to help.

Please read below for all recommendations and tips

Content Manager, PURE, Custom Shaders Patch and a PP filter of your choice, best ones I've used are mentioned below.

A PC that can handle Assetto Corsa in higher resolutions or more demanding graphics settings is strongly recommended. If not, you will have to lower some settings.

NVIDIA GeForce Experience Settings

NVIDIA graphics card users, please ensure you use the settings provided in the folder or in my Patreon post. You can always adjust the brightness, etc, to your own preference if required. Most of this is personal preference.
Playing with the HDR Toning Setting at different tracks has been the latest thing I pay attention to (Aug 2025)

If you are running an RTX Graphics Card, you can also enable RTX Dymanic Vibrance to enhance colours.

My Reshade Presets have been adjusted for use with and without these settings, it also increases performance a lot by running without them, at a cost to the graphical enhancements, up to 17%, so choose based on your PC setup.

Installing Reshade

Install Reshade files to your steamlibrary/common/assettocorsa folder
Then, install my Reshade Presets Folder in the same place as your AC directory, steam/common/assettocorsa

Make sure all effects and shaders are installed when setting up Assetto Corsa with Reshade, uncheck all, and select all and select Direct 10/11

Optional Add ons for Reshade

VHSPro Reshade Shader is also required to get the best results with older style videos like the F1 Mid 00s preset. When Reshade is installed, there should be a shaders folder in your Assetto Corsa directory.

Quick Tips

When Reshade is installed, in the settings menu, assign a key for effects toggle, next, and previous preset for quicker switch between settings, N/P etc, there's lots of presets to choose from, this makes switching easy.

PURE Config Adjustments

In order for the settings to look like mine, you must have the PURE Config settings set up correctly. See my brief guide below

My own PURE Config settings are included in the members folder. Most of the settings are shared throughout all the PP filters, but you can fine tune them to your liking. They are designed as a baseline to help you get started.

I am fine tuning the latest PURE Config settings for use with the pure filter, but most of the settings already supplied should work, as shown in my latest videos.

Post Processing Filter

You can use a variety of PP filters, I have tested the following so far.

C13AEGIS Lite

Current PP Filter used: pure

CSP Settings

Included in the members folder,

Simply open the link, and it will install all of my Custom Shaders Patch Settings - NOTE you may need to adjust some settings for your PC spec. Mine is an RTX 4070Ti for comparison.
If your PC is struggling with FPS, give me a message, and I will see what can be adjusted for you.

Video Settings

On my JamesDRacing YouTube Channel, I explain how to set up Assetto Corsa. This is system dependent, so it may need low or mid settings if your PC is of lower specs. My video explains this in great length for guidance

FAQs

"Where do I install the folders?"

The Reshade Presets Folder can go anywhere in reality, but for myself, I install it in the assettocorsa main files location usually found under steamapps/common/assettocorsa
The other folders are extra files or screenshots of settings

"What If I don't have a powerful PC?"

It should be common knowledge that you need a good PC anyway to play these titles, but if you need just a extra small FPS boost, message me and I can go over some settings that have a bigger performance hit with you, no trouble.

"My visuals look blurry, how to reduce this?"

This is deliberate to achieve TV visuals, however if you want the colours etc correct but not the blur, disable RingDOF and SurfaceBlur in the Reshade menu, or tweak these settings if you already tweaked reshade and have some experience, you can also use the LumaSharpen shader to boost this. Most of my presets as of August 2025 have been sharpened to a degree as this has been the more popular option

"I don't have NVIDIA, will this work?"

Yes and lately, my graphics presets are designed for use with and without NVIDIA GPUs, the NVIDIA App is just for final enhancements and can be tweaked via the PURE Config or PURE PP apps
