Graphical issues

[Martinus]

EDIT: replaced connection from mobo VGA with gtx1060 DVI-D now running all ultra on steady 103FPS

After resetting my computer i find myself playing with a constant 18fps on medium/low graphics.
Before i could play the game on ultra with no trouble.
What can i do to improve my graphics and performance?

Specs:
Intel core i5 6400
nvidia gtx 1060 6gb
8gn ram
game installed on 256gb ssd

You should be getting 150+fps with your setup. Start with Nvidia control panel and add assettocorsa.exe along with acs.exe . Setup both profiles to use your 1060 and also as a starting point set it to high performance. Also delete Nvidia Geforce experience if you have it installed. When you're in or loading a race make sure it shows it's running in 64 bit mode.

A good way to check if it's a hardware bottleneck is to open task manager and set it to always on top and look at the performance tab. Play the game and see if any components are being used at 100% and if so that will be what's causing the bottleneck(with your specs I doubt it's a hardware bottleneck).

Also, you can try to either update your GPU driver if it's not the newest version, and if it is the newest version roll it back to something older.

Dont set this game in Nvidia Controlpanel or anything you shouldnt do it ..

I use i7 4771
gtx 1060 3gb
16 ram
24" 1920x1080 / 60hz

I get 60fps as normal you should be able to have that to .

game runs just fine and you should get 60 fps with vsynced ingame settings Assetto corsa of course to prevent screen tearing .

I would reccomend you also to do 8 more ram for 16 in total some other day but now :

Upgarde card drivers thru Gforce or control panel in computer system were you also find you proccessors and monitors etc . :-)

or else use DDU driver uninstall for all Gforce drivers etc and restart pc and reinstall Gforce experience and get the newest drivers.

Make sure your monitor is to find in Nvidia control panel also and everything is defaulted , but dont set the game in exe. files for any thing in Nvidia control panel NO , I dont do that , as long its not neccessary .dont do it ....

Make sure your motherboard can run the 1060..

Latst Gforce Nvidia driver is 391.35 .

Sounds like your PC is using the Intel HD CPU integrated graphics instead of your dedicated GPU.

Simply either disable the iGPU in the bios, make sure you have your monitor plugged into your GTX 1060 output and not the one built into the motherboard or go into the Nvidia control panel and ensure the 1060 is teh default forced GPU to use by Windows.

So i've tried reinstalling my GPU drivers and setting the GTX 1060 in the nvidia control panel to no avail.
While playing Assetto Corsa my is GPU is at 100% usage, so i take that as it using my integrated intel graphics. I can't disable those since my second monitor is using those ports (can't connect it to the 1060 cause VGA).
Other games are using the 1060 per default. Any setting for this in Assetto Corsa?

EDIT: i inplugged my second monitor (onboard VGA) ingame and FPS went up to 250, plugged it back in and dropped to 18.
conclusion: i'm buying a DVI cable tomorrow
