Le Mans Ultimate: Minimum and Recommended PC Requirements
If you're one of those who dream of racing the 24 Hours of Le Mans or taking on an entire FIA World Endurance Championship schedule, Le Mans Ultimate is the game for you. This official simulator seeks to recreate every detail of endurance racing: from the ever-changing weather and day-night transitions, to the pressure of sharing the track with dozens of cars at once.
At Simufy, we embrace simracing with the same passion as you do, and we know that to truly enjoy a title like this, your PC needs to be up to par. That's why we've prepared this guide with the minimum and recommended requirements for Le Mans Ultimate , so you know exactly what your system needs and how to get the most out of it on the track.
Is your PC ready to compete in Le Mans Ultimate?
Before jumping into the racing world, it's key to understand what the game's requirements entail. The minimum requirements are the basis for running without serious errors, albeit with lower graphics and a simpler experience. They'll allow you to participate, but they won't allow you to fully utilize what the simulator has to offer.
The recommended settings , on the other hand, are designed to help you enjoy the game to its full potential: better textures, more realistic weather effects, more cars on the track, and a smoother visual. If you're aiming for resolutions like 1440p or 4K , or want to use virtual reality , it's ideal to go even higher than the recommended settings.
Also, remember that factors like your monitor's refresh rate, storage speed (SSD or NVMe), and connection stability can make a difference in online races or long-duration events.
Le Mans Ultimate minimum requirements on PC
These are the minimum requirements the developers recommend for Le Mans Ultimate to run on your PC. With this configuration, you'll be able to hit the track and enjoy the game, although you'll need to lower some graphics settings and possibly lower the resolution to ensure everything runs smoothly and without stuttering.
- Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600.
- RAM: 8 GB.
- Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 580 (8 GB).
- Storage: 45 GB of free disk space.
- Operating system and connection required: Windows 10/11 64-bit, internet connection for multiplayer and updates.
Recommended requirements for a smooth experience
If you want Le Mans Ultimate to look its best and maintain a stable frame rate even with multiple cars on track and dynamic weather enabled, it's recommended that your PC meets—or exceeds—the following specifications:
- Processor: Intel Core i5-10600 or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X.
- RAM: 16 GB.
- Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (8 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 6600 (8 GB).
- Storage: 45 GB on an SSD, preferably NVMe, to minimize loading times.
- Internet connection and VR: stable connection for multiplayer and virtual reality support if you want the most immersive experience.
In Le Mans Ultimate , crowded grids, day/night transitions, and dynamic weather put a greater strain on the CPU (AI, physics) and GPU (lighting, shadows, reflections). If you notice FPS drops during long stints or online, try:
- Reduce the number of visible opponents and AI complexity.
- Lower the quality of shadows , reflections and weather effects (rain/fog).
- Use dynamic resolution or upscaling techniques if your system/game allows it.
- Prefer SSD/NVMe for faster loading and less stuttering.
- Lock the FPS rate according to your monitor (60/120/144 Hz) for a stable image.
- Update GPU drivers and close background programs before running.
