[DX11] Help regarding Nvidia Profile Inspector (NPI)

OK!

Found a command that increases light distance! (EDIT: Doesn't change vehicle headlight distance)

Code: Select all

g_light_distance_factor

The default is 1. I set it to 15!

An example of what it looks like here. Look in the distance!

Light Distance = 1


Light Distance = 15


Edit: More pictures

Light Distance = 1


Light Distance = 15

I must be blind, I see 3 identical images!!! What am I supposed to look at?

[RunnyPilot]

@BenganJ

Not your fault. The lamps in the distance are the difference.

Distance Factor 1 =

Distance Factor 15 =

[BenganJ]

Okay, higher light intensity on the lamps! Thanks!

Does someone else experience frequent FPS drops to exactly 30 FPS, in my case from 60 to 30 FPS? I wonder is it the new 1.40 that is buggy or are some mods to blame although I don't have any abnormal warnings in the console...

What you have there is vsync on 60hz and 60 fps. You drop below 60 fps and vsync drops to the next vsync level, which is 30.
From 60 to 30 to 20 to 15.
You therefore need a little more in reserve so you don't drop below 60. But that now means turning something down in 1.40.

Or if you have a 144hz monitor you can have vsync at 48fps - 144/72/48/36

There a problem with supplying values for gamma / colours etc... we all have different monitors that are setup differently. Do you remember a good while back in this thread... someone posted a pic/vid of his 'perfect' settings that to us looked beyond garish / too much colour / headache inducing... but to him on his monitor... perfect!

I've now got both games on 1.40 and so need to have a play, only ran ATS so far.
I think gamma should be below 1.0 because that is used by the game to calculate it's lighting along with other stuff i guess. Whereas monitor brightness / contrast has no actual effect on the game code, only the resulting displayed image.

So, this is what i did almost straight away:
uset r_color_saturation "0.95" <-- tones down the colours a bit, more natural to me... but that's on my monitor!
uset r_color_yellow_blue "0.0"
uset r_color_magenta_green "0.0"
uset r_color_cyan_red "0.0"
uset r_color_correction "2" <-- otherwise the above won't work.
Any gfx changes using in game menu will auto set back r_color_correction "1". So watch out!
uset r_gamma "0.9"
uset g_bloom "0.0" Because i don't like the bright bloom effect when your headlights light up a sign.

I drove from New Mexico Raton (evening/night) to Las Vagas (still night) to Jackpot (day) and looked 'ok' for a first play.


On a different note... Please can you add something like this to the top of the first post:
Works with game versions 1.36/1.37/1.38/1.39/1.40
This post contains all the current and best settings to use from all of the subsequent discussion / testing posts.

Thanks

Is it both lines you want at the top of post 1?

@BenganJ - Yes please... a few pages back someone had npi settings with old 72 aa bit in it.

@JHTrucker

Done! Too much?

I'm going to test your scheme on my system later, but now I'm going to hit the sack!
