[DX11] Help regarding Nvidia Profile Inspector (NPI)

Yes, Nvidia Freestyle is totally independent of this NPI scheme, but if you
see ANY antialiasing options in there, DO NOT USE THEM!

[therobloxians1119]

Thank you! But why shouldn't I use any antialiasing options?

@therobloxians1119

You already have good AA with the NPI scheme, so why ruin that?
It's for the same reason we instruct you to disable in game SMAA!

[therobloxians1119]

Ah ok. Thanks! I don't have much experience with graphic improvements in ETS2/ATS.

Thank you! But why shouldn't I use any antialiasing options?

Because what we are trying to do is to IMPROVE the antialiasing, with means to also reduce the shimmering present in shiny surfaces.
The Antialiasing provided by the game is useless, and the antialiasing provided byt third party programs are also useless in this matter.
Maybe you will get an acceptable antialiasing using third party programs, but you are not going to get rid of that shimmering, that is
what makes the experience the worst. Honestly i could live with bad aliasing (to a point) if didnt have to endure all that shimmering ruining the landscapes
and driving experience.

And thats the main reason to use the npi scheme. Honestly if i dont use the npi scheme its like playing a videogame from 1990. Its disgusting.
But people apparently like it... go figure.

Thank you for that info tantalus!

does anyone experiences some noise when applying a sharpening filter like neg lod bios or the ncp sharpen filter? seems to me that with 1.40 i get noise on my screen (especially on distant signs and the cab of my truck (ats))

@mgysgtdev

That's exactly what I've been talking about here for quite some time,
but I'm calling it blur instead, ruining the negative LOD bias for me!

[tantalus]

Bengan what has to do the negative lod bias with blurring the image? thats news for me.

@tantalus

Normally you can control at what distance the texture LOD changes will take place
by changing the Negative LOD Bias value. Most impact you see on distant signs, earlier
readable. With the new Lighting System there seems to be a blurring of distant areas,
which is ruining the LOD bias settings. My two cents!
