I think I’ve gotten to the bottom of the issues some people are having with error messages saying a supported game is required. Make sure you don’t have any 3D accelerated windows open in the background. So Chrome/Discord/etc. Minimising them seems to fix the issue. You don’t need to close them completely.

Hi Will, thanks for the video :-) Any idea if this work on rFactor 2? I'm trying to open the filter using the hotkeys (ALT+F3) but I get the message saying that a supported game is required. Many thanks!

Thank you very much Will, the hugest benefit of this for me is I suffer from eye strain at times and turning down the warmness and enhancing some other colors has made it much easier to drive for longer periods of time

wow makes it way more realistic, especially in Lacuna Seca that is so yellowy it looks ridiculously like an 80's serial Mexico effect.

I've always hated that washed out grey look in iRacing. This fixes it completely. Nice job.

This is definitely simpler than using reshade and messing with luts. I did it last week and it's made a world of difference for me

by turning ''game filters'' I have in the window where you have 1,2 and 3 preset, only ''image sharpening'' on 50% and its not even active

You may have also noticed the colour blindness options in there too. They're fantastic. I don't need it for iRacing but in some other games they make a big difference especially for map icons and opponent labels.

Thank for for taking the time to make these videos ! Makes such a difference

I can only get it working using the old website but will have a play and it totally transforms iracing thanks will great work as always and your hard work and dedication is much appreciated

Finally!!! I should have known to do this as I'm a regular Adobe Light Room user and do this to my photos! Thanks Will!

Awesome tip. Lost about 7 FPS but Looking much better, and much kinder on the eye strain.+1 for keeping it simple! Thanks Will

Never knew about filters being build into the nvidia software I normally play around with reshade filters, but may now see how this works. Thanks Will.

Dude thank you so much. This looks so much easier than with reshade

Thanks for the tips it works very well,, much better colors now

That's awesome!! As a commercial photographer, and having an understanding of color and light, I've always hated the rendering in iRacing. One thing to keep in mind while making these adjustments... Dropping the highlight down is always a good idea for the reason you explained....blowing out all the bright areas. However, with the shadows, remember when you darken things that in the darkest areas, you should still have minor details like maybe dash texture or something like that. The only places I wouldn't expect any detail would be in the vents because obviously there's nothing there to give any texture. One other thing you may want to try is the HDR setting. Maybe turning this on before you make the adjustments might give even a bit more realism. All in all that was a great video and I appreciate the info!!

I'm kinda getting old, and losing pace with technology. I don't even know exactly what HDR is. But people say it improves things. So I want to try it. I know my system should be very capable. But where is this setting? In the graphics card settings, or in iRacing?

@jamphotostudio

@@sethrenigar6012 the setting for HDR that I was talking about is in iRacing/options/graphics, where you adjust your settings for the graphics like sky, grandstands, pit box, etc. It will be in the 3rd column. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. Basically what it does is it finds a way to compress everything into a range thy you can see instead of having highlights that are too bright to have detail at that same time as having blacks thy are too dark to have detail. It may have an adverse effect in morning and late afternoon or evening races when you get the Orange glare of the sunrise or sunset on the track in certain turns. Hopefully the other adjustments in the video card will curb thy issue.

@@Simlife101 your correct in the sense that because there’s a wider selection of lights and darks, all the shades and color temperatures are also increased within the parameters. Lumination changes apply to all colors and shades, not just to whites and blacks.

UPDATE: Ok so it appears the latest Nvidia driver (472.96) breaks this for some people. I've now tested myself on another PC and also had a few friends test and it seems a clean install with DDU resolves any issues with the latest driver. Alternatively, previous drivers can be downloaded here - www.nvidia.com/download/find.aspx

Nice work again Will, thanks mate

I agree with @Jeffrey McDonald I am also a professional photographer and VR SIM racer and I have been looking for something like this for a while. I recently tried a VR reshade plugin without any visible effects, and I didn't know nVidia had this option. I am ruining an RTX 2080ti on an i7-7800 with a Pimax 5K+ and I have been trying to get a more realistic lighting on my gameplay and videos for a while but didn't know this option was available, I will try this tomorrow. Like Jaffrey said on the other comment, I will try HDR and then adjust highlights and shadows to begin with to mimic the human eye dynamic range. I greatly appreciate that you shared this piece of information with the rest of us.

Once again you come through for the team Will! I've not been racing much lately but I always disliked the washed out look of iRacing compared to some other sims. I did not like to use the GeForce Experience app for my 3090 card actually as some suggested settings on other games didn't work for me. Reinstalling that app now and will give this a go. Confident I will see an improvement. Thanks mate!

Thanks Will this really helped

Great video as always. I've been using a similar setup, but utilizing ReShade instead. A bit more of an fps hit with it, but more granular control over the colour, contrast and various other settings. Also never been a fan of Nvidia's GeForce Experience. That being said, it truly does make a huge difference and sometimes games/sims just need a little colour correction TLC.

Wow O Wow What a transformation to iracing thanks Will i didn,t know about this great job mate.

combining the nvidia filter with iRacing's built-in gamma adjust and it's quite easy to dial the cooler colours in! The Nvidia overlay did throw an error for me on my first session after installing the latest driver and restarting the PC, but reloading iRacing again with exactly the same session settings meant it seems to be working as suggested

Great video - Will out of interest what frame rate are you getting on ACC with your 3090 and running those 4K triples?

Thanks mate great work

SICK! Didn't know that. 😎🙌

I found HDR on certain capable monitors also really helps the immersion.

Thinking about that for the use on 3 led projector screens. Blacker blacks and better contrast. No bezel frame or plastics edges to dick with. The first time i ever used a projected screen was on the playstation (1) at the old Wangi workers club 1996. I couldn't aford a commercial unit, but you could book in through the club for members. In the function room and turn off the lights. it dominated the whole wall : ) that an the PA sound system, full on. ( Vralley & F1) Great thing was, we were close to burbon food and beer.

I did this a few months back and had iRacing looking great finally and then Nvidia did an update and my settings disappeared . . . So you might want to write down the filters and values in case that happens to you too. Cheers :)

Thanks for tips !

yesterday I tried to do this and all I could get was a side panel, but no options. It just had a box at the bottom saying 'Done'. Today however, I did a great (in my standard, getting round the track in one piece is great) lap, I saved it. When I went back to view, I did the ALT F3 and it worked I had the full menu. So it seems, just doing a test lap does not work, but viewing a saved replay will get the menu to be showed.

does someone know if this works for VR as well? usually VRs excluded from susch things as my experience from previous atempts showed.

I never comment on videos but I love you for this

Wow, i will try this tomorrow!! Does Geforce remeber the settings or do i have to choose them every time i load up i racing?

is there a fix for the "Nvidia experience) when i try to activate the game overlay it constantly tells me to reboot the system, which i have done several times, re-installed it and all but no luck :S

I have a grain issue with the load screen since adjusting the core from zero to one. Tried to change it back but still have the same issue.

Need help please. I tried these settings after installing iracing but my visuals look all washed out and nothing as good as yours. What do I do? I have a 4070ti and updated to the latest nvidia driver. Maxed out all the settings in options and applied your values on GeForce experience

Hi Will ...thanks for being a great asset to Sim-Racing! I don't have that issue ...I like my black to be BLACK ...& set up my displays that way ...& I still see the stitching in the Hans straps. I DO have one question ... We run identical PC's ...except I have a single 3080. I run three 4K screens 43 inches each. However: I bought cheap ones that have a 60 Hz refresh rate ...so I limit all my games at 60 fps. This less taxing on the GPU is it not? ...& Will I see a big difference in faster screens? ...enough difference to upgrade ...in your opinion?

I can’t do 60Hz these days. Anything less than 90 and I really struggle for sim racing.

hello, I followed the steps you said, everything is up to date, everything is as it should be. but when iracing is on, when I open ctrl+alt+z and press game filter, it doesn't click. what could be the solution

Setting makes a huge difference, I’ve been running it for a few months. However, over the course of a few weeks, I’ve noticed that I keep getting error messages when trying to enable the filter. Are you finding any issues when you run it?

I was having the same error about restarting the game and unsuported game error. I rolled back to driver 466.77 and it works fine now

Good evening all. I have been trying to figure this out for a few hours and here is what I came up with. Latest driver installed (497.09). I start a "Test Drive" session and it seems to work. From there any other session I join it still works, (AI, Test Drive, Etc.) As long as I do not close iRacing it seems to keep. Once I close iRacing and try to go into let's say an AI race "not supported". I go "Test Drive" works as well as other sessions. Don't know why, and what changed, but seems to work for me. Cheers, and good luck! BTW. Thanks Will for all of the great content over the years.

Does adjusting the filters alter the load on the cpu/gpu?

It does not always work. Only when I go to the server at least one more time can I select it. Otherwise nut depth of field is missing. No selection of the 3 presets. Does this have something to do with the ui.

I would really like this to work in VR.. possible or not?? Running WMR HP Reverb.

Any tips for a night, sun- rise/set setup?

hi boosted, i was wondering if there was any tips or tutorial for AMD owners. i tried reshade, completely screwed my game up. Couldn't launch anymore. So unistalled it. Now i wish iracing would offer some ingame way to fix the yellowness.... Wasn't bothering me but now i played all summer ACC and F1 on console. This yellow filter is ruining my game experience.

Any way to do something like this in VR?

For some reason this doesn't work the first time I launch iRacing for the day. I'll hit alt+F3 and it says there's an error and to restart the game. After restarting the game I can alt+F3, but it's off by default and I have to hit the number I set up, then it's fine. Not sure why it doesn't just stay on.
