For android players who want to get the equivelant of "anti aliasing: on": Go to settings > about phone > touch the "build number" 7 times. Then go to settings again > developer options > find "force 4x MSAA and turn it on.

Doesn't work

[@ahmetcvanaydn2320]

@@Gamer_OG69 Can you elaborate?

[@Amogh0102]

I don’t think it works like that bro 💀. It’s a development option, Not used for the game.

[@ahmetcvanaydn2320]

@@Amogh0102 It should work. It is anti aliasing for OpenGL games and as far as I know, this game uses OpenGL in Android (idk if that changed with Unite version and now the game uses Vulkan api though)

[@MichaelDaveZapata]

Did it work? Also, what is your device?

[@rpm_runner0016]

Amogh did not mention a TON of things so here are some of them: 1. Very important, graphics presets AFFECT the graphics independently of custom graphics settings. The very low preset makes the game look horrible, for some reason, it even drastically affects color gamma. Low-high presets introduce normal colors and the higher the preset is, the higher the level of detail gets. Unlike medium and high, low preset does not have smoke in the garage view, reduces mud splashes in races, reduces rain effects, etc. Low preset might also have reduced asphalt quality but I am not sure about that yet, maybe it's a thing on all presets and they just made asphalt look worse with the ALU, just like they did to lots of other graphical aspects. So in conclusion, when setting up the graphics settings you FIRST choose the preset and then tweak the rest of the settings. 2. Anti-aliasing in ALU looks horrible. Gameloft replaced 8x MSAA that was in A9 with TAA to, I suppose, compensate for the drastic performance drop with at least something. TAA does not hit the performance noticeably, so it's a bit of false info from Amogh here, but what I also don't get is people who find that the game with TAA on looks good. TAA makes the game look terribly blurry and introduces very noticeable ghosting to moving objects, it's especially noticeable with motion blur turned off, the car you are driving leaves multiple silhouettes of itself right behind. Unfortunately, with the introduction of new graphics in the garage view no AA is very noticeable in the garage, especially on metallic surfaces, but you might be surprised when you start a race with AA turned off that in races it actually looks good, because guess what, developers actually did a good job on how surfaces look when developing the original A9, which cannot be said about ALU. 3. Another bad thing related to AA in ALU is that there is a bug that you are not able to turn the reflections setting on when you have AA turned off, but as Amogh mentioned in the video, it's yet another thing that developers messed up with ALU. The reflections setting introduces absolutely stupid looking reflections on the surfaces that they are not supposed to be on, so just turn it off - if you're not playing at the lowest graphics preset your game will have all the OG A9 reflections and will look better. Another thing to mention about the reflections that the setting adds is that they are laggy. It's actually very noticeable in the garage view when the reflection of the car updates a noticeably small number of times a second and looks like it's trying to catch up with the car's model when you are spinning it. 4. There is no point in setting motion blur, bloom, god rays or depth of field to low, as those effects look incredibly pixelated at the low setting. Either put those to max or disable completely. 5. Shadows is a very big topic so I am not going to tell everything, but here is the most important: 5.1. Shadow resolution set to anything below high introduces visual artifacts to the dynamic shadows, so start with high if you don't want the game to look wrong. 5.2. Shadow quality set to low-high makes the game render a much smaller number of dynamic shadows than if it's set to very high - ultra, so if you want to see all the shadows, turn it up at least to very high. 5.3 Just as with the effects mentioned the paragraph number 4, dynamic shadow distance does not make sense in my understanding when it's set to anything less than off or max, since anything in the middle makes the shadows appear right in front of your car and it's VERY noticeable. So once again, if you don't want the game to look wrong, set it either to the lowest or the highest setting. 6. Thankfully dark spots on the maps were fixed in the latest patch, which is great news for players who found the dynamic lighting very annoying, like myself, since now you can disable it completely and still see everything, just like it was in good old A9. If you prefer dynamic lighting to be on, then just go with what Amogh said in the video. So in conclusion to this essay, I will say that the real troublemakers that were introduced with ALU that hit your performance are dynamic lighting and dynamic shadows, so if you want to play in your native resolution, especially if you don't have a powerful GPU, just turn the dynamic shadows distance and dynamic lighting quality options to the minimum (which disables them completely) and watch your FPS go up 3-5 times (if you do that you can also turn the shadow quality to minimum as it only affects dynamic shadows anyway). Make sure you pick the graphics preset you like beforehand, and after that adjust your resolution and scaling settings and the rest of the custom settings to what you prefer, and enjoy! Great video explanation from Amogh, otherwise I wouldn't really bother to write allat XD

0:27: But Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 5G has NPU, GPU and CPU of smooth gaming performance, it reduces overheating, but one more thing, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 5G is going to launch soon in 2025, gaming performance maybe too smooth with snapdragon chipset, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 5G has Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, but Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 5G has Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor.

[@abhishekkushwaha1141]

No NPU for ai task gpu is main for gaming. Vapour chamber reduces heat. S25 ultra will have snapdragon 8 elite not 8 gen 4

[@fattaly_1]

Just forget about gaming on android phones unfortunately.. i own an S23 ultra with a cooler (Blackshark magcooler 4 pro) which freezes the phone, but the gpu is giving 100%, and still i can't play with a stable 60fps (highest graphic settings), and the S24 Ultra is nowhere better.. iPhone 15 pro max and above are way better.. (of course the cooler is mandatory)

[@raanans.a8992]

You should have mentioned that the game has now become more CPU intensive. From what I have seen the game does generally prefer more threads(although I can be wrong) For instance, I have a i5 9600k and a GTX 1660 Super. Asphalt 9 Legends ran at 195--210fps using max settings on average at 1080p using 120% res scale. Asphalt Unite runs at 90-100fps using these same settings at 1080p. In A9 my gpu was pretty much always at 100% utilisation but now in unite I have seen multiple instances of sub 90% GPU utilisation and 100% cpu usage indicating a CPU bottleneck. Gameloft should add FSR support in this game as it will help lower end PC's as this is no longer a very easy game to run unlike a9. That said I still think they should add further settings for better graphics I do not feel like alu is a big graphical update from A9 and it feels kinda dated for PC's... I also find no point playing above a locked 120fps limit anyways the extra fps doesn't improve gameplay and just consumes extra power and increases room temperature.

[@Amogh0102]

FSR would be a great addition.

[@TheHammerGuy94]

I'm the dude who made the graph at the beginning. And I can confirm one thing: This game only uses 4 cores. Not even multi-threaded. At best, my CPU usage only spiked to 30%, but only because I had some smaller programs running, and I was running the lowest possible settings to get a CPU bottleneck. At my max graphic settings, it only uses 19-25% in Singapore. I even pinned the game to my 4 cores, both multi and single threaded. Same result. Based on what you described, ALU is more GPU demanding than A9 (I didn't play A9 on PC, I was on iOS) since there were many graphical upgrades from the original game that made it harder to run.

[@raanans.a8992]

@ idk then When I played it on launch day(which is the last time I played a9) I was getting 100% on all threads(6) during the initial loading screen and during the end of the race sometimes. I have also seen GPU utilisation drop below 90% to around 85% a lot of times during races without any Vsync. Maybe the game must have been optimised now.

[@TheHammerGuy94]

​@@raanans.a8992oh that's the last time you measured it? Yeah, the mid season update added many things to the graphic settings. Considering the game can blow past the 60 fps mark now, I'd say utilization is fixed.

[@raanans.a8992]

@ that’s great tbh. Was kinda spooked to see a 9600k bottleneck a 1660 Super in a game as easy as a9. Although the game has had 120+ fps since a long time…

In your case on a switch, Nintendo and other console platforms don’t allow them for adding these settings, Given the age of the console as well, Chances are you will see a graphical preset option in the future at best.
