@Road Runner

Nice! Looking forward to it! I can control my own environment, but we
need to have more info to be able to describe for others how to use this!

Back with you!

A number of us are having problems using Sparse Grid. :( As an alternative approach for those (and even if you have been successful) please could you test these settings:

INGAME; Graphics - Scaling 400%, SMAA DISABLE, Mirrors as you wish

Nvidia Inspector;

Keep most of your settings

including
AA Compatibility 0x80000F72 (most important!)
AA Mode Overide Application

Now the cahnges

AA Setting 32xs (Combined 2x2SS + 8xMS)
AA Transparency Supersampling 8 x Supersampling
Set LOD back to 0.000
That's it. I found this perhap[s not as good as using Sparse grid method but better than in game SMAA. To ensure a fair assessment please turn off headlights in day time.
Thanks - look forward to your reports. :)

@Road Runner

To me, that looks a bit suspicious. Get me right here now my friend, but have you tried
to compare these settings to just run the game with Scaling = 400% and SMAA = disabled
and with NO NPI settings at all, i.e. Nvidia default ones. Running with Scaling = 400% is
in itself an AA method (DSR), that's why I ask! If someone already made this comparison,
please report result, otherwise I will do the test!

@Tapir

Yes, with Scaling = 100%, I can believe it will work, but I asked for the comparison with plain
Scaling = 400% and SMAA = disabled and NO NPI!

But I forgot one thing: In NPI I set your settings they looked very good, all lines and cables: :D

--- Antialiasing - Setting -------------------------------- '4x [4x Multisampling]' // See above.
--- Antialiasing - Transparency Supersampling ------ '4x Sparse Grid Supersampling' //See above.
