Sorry if this was asked before, tonemapping ON or OFF, any side effects on tinkering with that? thanks.

@black-coffee

Read back and you'll see JHTrucker's suggestion regarding disabling tonemapping.
You will have to lower the gamma at the same time. It will give clearer sign texts
at further distance.

Sorry to trouble you Bengan, but I don't understand the part where it says:

Using the NPI 2.3.0.12 or later with latest Nvidia Driver will remove the sharpening filter settings! Use e.g. Nvidia Freestyle filter instead!
You will also lose the setting SILK Smoothness!

@therobloxians1119

It's simple in NPI version 2.3.0.12 those settings were removed, but you could still set sharpening, either in NCP or through Freestyle.
The SILK_Smoothness you lost totally though. So, just use the proper NPI for the driver version you use, set sharpening in NCP and
forget about SILK_Smoothness.

Just to show you the fact that you really have achieved proper AA.
