Is there anything I can do to raise FPS?

RadFiesta · Dec 28, 2017

I've got all of the in game settings as low as they can go, and I'm only getting 14-17 fps. Is there anything I can do to fix that?

might help if you gave us a list of your pc spec.

Buy a new pc!
Seriously, if EVERYTHING is on the lowest settings how much can you do?

Yeah, fair enough. I've been saving up for a better pc for awhile

CPU: Intel i7 5500U
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 5500
RAM: 8 gb
I've also done as much as I can in the settings for the GPU

You need a new video card not a new PC.

Unless your PC has no port to fit a video card.

Is it a laptop by any chance?

AC is pretty well optimized...so if you cannot get good FPS with AC you can't with other games except AMS. I was using an IMac for a bit with bootcamp.and I still got good FPS with AC

Your specs are very low. Both your CPU and GPU are very weak (the GPU is pretty much the lowest you can go and not really capable of delivering acceptable gaming performance). And seeing as you're using a laptop, there's sadly not much you can do. If your game settings are as low as you can set it, the only option left is to lower the resolution (unless you've already tried that as well).

Yeah, it's a laptop, not much I can do.

Although your GPU is sadly lacking, you could try the patch to completely remove shadows... that does increase FPS somewhat.

Strange..., I have an i5 laptop with Intel HD graphics and 4gb RAM and it runs fine.
I have everything off or at zero except for world detail which is at max and I get high 30's FPS.
I can even run about a dozen AI to race against. Just a question, did you disable PP (post processing) effects? I found that one to be the single greatest hog on my system. Also I wouldn't tinker with the HD graphics settings. I just left it at "use application settings".

Just tried out the shadow patcher and I gained 15 FPS.

Thanks for the tip @Flibberflops.

Do I download the patch from steam, or is it an in-game option?

Actually, I found it on the forums! Thanks! Now I get about 40-55 frames on a high res!

Try setting reflections to static, and then you might still be able to use PP filters and other visual goodies. I found that being one of the biggest gains without decreasing visuals too much.

I have a pretty reasonable pc, running 2560x1080 at 144 hz which it does most of the time,
even with online racing.
But i thought i would try Razer Cortex software , easily found on the internet.
I held little hope it would do much considering the above, but to my supprise the max frame
rate achived stayed the same, but my minimum went up by some 20FPS.
Runing your struggling pc with this program my achieve much better max frame rates.
If you take this up let us know how you got on.

If the above is rubbish, please ignore

Laptops are for office work. Not fun.

Just in case (I am not a all a PC specialist).
I had some issue with my laptop running Assetto corsa.
Like you, I had about 15 fps. and could barely do nothing to raise up at a decent level.
Until I discovered that my graphic card was not really "activated" for 3D application.
There was some kind of Throttle function which just didn't worked properly. The graphic card frequency was locked at a low Mhz
I needed to reinstall my graphic card drivers and the fps came back .

For some unknown reasons, the problem appears again regularly.
Just reinstall the same driver again and all works properly for some months before the problem occurs again.
(I don't have time to further check for a better solution. reinstall the driver takes me 5 minutes

) )

I have a dell inspiron 7720 17R with a core i7 and a Nvidia GT650M graphic card.
(I have about 65 fps alone or with about 10-15 AI cars on track (depends on the car and track of course)

One thing you can already checked is if your graphic card frequncy is on boost mode when assetto corsa is launched, and/or check if your laptop fan is working well (for example mine works at full capacity for a while when I launched assetto corsa)

I hope it may help
Of course, a "racing" PCwould be ideal
