Paid Member Graphics Settings Folder Access
🕑 Added 2024-03-26 23:01:07 +0000 UTCWelcome 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.
Premier by Jacob Capello
NMod Filter
RealityFilter
C13AEGIS Lite
pure
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

Hi! I’m a supporter on Patreon and I tried to download it graphics preset from your post. The link is asking me for a decryption key, but I couldn’t find it in the post. Could you please provide me with the key so I can access the file? Thank you very much!

Luiz Felipe
I'm Brazilian and I don't understand much, could you help me?
JamesDRacing
Can't download? I've not done anything to lock the files etc should be enter the key as per instructions and then ready to download, haven't had any issues from anyone else. Browser could be blocking the download if your file security is too high?
Berke Cem Secmen
Hey, I cant download the MEGA files, why?
Charlie Wiseman
doesnt work for some reason, it tells me that they key is no longer available
JamesDRacing
That's a new one. I would guess you installed Reshade to the incorrect exe file is my guess for that one. Make sure the path goes to the correct exe. If not try a different one. Not had this question come up before so is likely something like that. If not check that anti virus software is not blocking reshade to open
Felipe Pereira dos Santos

No access to mega link says decryption key is needed
JamesDRacing
It does that and glitches out. I made sure the key is removed. Give it another try and if not I will send you the files directly :)

At the time it was a F1 2011 preset but has been updated to F12010sV1 now which I believe looks far better

hey, i cant find the pp filter
JamesDRacing
Reshade one anywhere. But the PPF config folder you need to put that in the file path. I've already done that for you. assettocorsa then extension etc you'll see what I mean
jonathan carton
hey! i don't know where to put my folder its just on the Ac directory or on a specific folder ?
JamesDRacing
Hello. Do you have all the correct shaders installed? That'll be my best guess at this point. I would say you're welcomre to send me your folders screenshots so I can check through and make sure it's setup properly. Maybe that I include them in the folder now also just in case. Let me know :)
nebula
Hey! I keep trying to use some of the reshade presets (such as Suzuka2018) but it keeps telling me that the preset is invalid, even though I've followed the installation etc, even reinstalled reshade twice and says the same. Not sure what the issue is.
Arda Gurcuoglu
Worked now. Thanks!
