Assetto Corsa Competizione on PC: hardware guide and performance
Searching for «assetto corsa system requirements»? On PC, that usually means Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) — the GT World Challenge sim on Steam (App ID 805550) — not the older Assetto Corsa (2014). This page covers ACC official specs, real-world budgets, and FPS expectations in 2026.
Steam minimum: Windows 10 64-bit, Intel Core i5-4460 / AMD FX-9590, 8 GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 680 / AMD Radeon HD 7870, DirectX 11, ~50 GB storage. Recommended: Intel Core i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 1070 / AMD RX 580. Official minimums are dated — for smooth 1080p racing, plan above them.
Comfortable 1080p high settings: €800–1,000 PC (GTX 1660 Super / RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM, SSD). For 1440p or triple-screen entry: €1,200–1,500 (RTX 3060 Ti / RTX 4070). VR (Quest / Index) often needs RTX 3070 / RTX 4060 Ti or better.
ACC is CPU-sensitive in crowded race starts — quad-core minimum struggles; Ryzen 5 5600 / i5-12400F is a sensible floor in 2026. Use 16 GB RAM, install on SSD, and leave headroom for mods/DLC. A wheel (Logitech G29 / Thrustmaster) does not change PC specs but matters for experience.
