[DX11] Help regarding Nvidia Profile Inspector (NPI)

[CSharpDude]

@BenganJ

I don't think it was the driver installation. I tried upgrading the driver after I noticed the "problem". Here's the result in a remote area:

At the very beginning of the video on the left side the sign post shows "Shimmering" but the power lines and poles look great close up. When they are farther away I see artifacts though. I honestly think I'm the problem not the AA. Some edges in some locations have some jaggies, but it is much better than before applying the NPI and config changes.

Thanks again for helping out!

Yes, you now seem to have proper AA, but AA methods introduce blurring of the graphics,
so you now need a tiny bit of sharpening now, but beware of getting flickering back again.

@BenganJ
Thanks! I'll try adding a bit of sharpening

Should we use negative lod?

@yiannis

If you mean these settings, YES, at least -1.0000 for 4x AA! I have -1.5000 because on top of 4x AA I have DSR, enhancing the AA slightly!

Code: Select all

--- Texture filtering - Driver Controlled LOD Bias -- 'Off' //In order for user defined LOD Bias to be used.
--- Texture filtering - LOD Bias (DX) ----------------- '-1.5000' //This is to get the text clarity earlier on distant signs. Value of -1.0000 for 4x AA, -1.5000 for 8x AA.
--- Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias ------------ 'Allow' // See above.
--- Texture filtering - Quality ------------------------- 'High quality' // See above.

FYI: Near correct settting for LOD Bias in relationship to SGSSAA...

• Negative LOD bias values for;
  • 2xSGSSAA = -0.5000
  • 4xSGSSAA = -1.0000
  • 8xSGSSAA = -1.5000

Correct and documented in first post!

Ouch, thank you so much... I must have overlooked that detail while swimming in the deep-pool of knowledge. :)

Hahaha, well it can't be said too many times!

Hi,
first off, thank you for all your work!
I'm fairly new to ets2 and I'm still trying to get most out of my system.
Maybe first the specs;

i7 4790k@4.6GHz
GTX 780TI (3Gb) Nvidia 452 driver
16Gb memory
Triple screen Nvidia surround 5760x1080 (3monitor 1920x1080)

I applied all of the setting specified here and AA seems to work fine.
However my system seems not to be able to "keep up" and even with medium setting I only get 20-24 fps
When I lower my resolution to 4800x900 then I'm getting 60fps with the very occasional dip into the 50's
But then AA is not working anymore.
I would appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this and give me some hints how to fix this.
Cheers,
Luc
