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. :)
I tested this one and it works VERY well on my system, except that I refuse to set Scaling = 400%, as that can make NPI useless and we only
will see the result of the in-game DSR (Scaling = 400%). I have a hard time to see any difference to what we started with, so it might be an
alternative setting for some people! Can someone that has had problem with the original settings test these, please!

But why reset the negative LOD Bias to 0.0000???????? Back to testing! :D

-- Texture filtering - LOD Bias (DX) ----------------- '-1.0000' //This is to get the text clarity earlier on distant signs. <------I have this and all fine :D :D :D

I m happy that I can leave ingame SMAA disabled.....the NPI settings are much better. :D :D :D :D :D :D

@Tapir

Yes, I tested with -1.0000 too and I got black textures when I used camera 2. Please,
test that you too!

I have now also tested with my Swedish friend, that has the same problem as bogdac,
but these new settings didn't fix that problem, sadly!

EDIT: But the good thing is that we now have 2 equally good alternatives! :D

@Bengan my friend ;) ;)

I got no black textures using camera.

EDIT: is it a problem of grafic card, perhaps ? I have MSI Geforce 1660 Super.

@Tapir

No, in principle I have the same card, ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB OC Gaming!
Could be some other setting that is different from yours!

@Tapir

I have tested exactly that one, but also the ones that Road Runner presented recently.
Both work for me splendidly, so I have full control of my environment. Sadly some other
people have problems and we are now searching for a solution for them!
