user1000 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Just noticed there are couple new graphic options for nvidia owners like image sharpening, I have tried the sharpening but not the others yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 What card/driver do you run? Could you post some before/after screenshots please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user1000 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) This is something you should try for yourself. I attempted a before and after but was unable to capture the sharpness. I run an older 760. The sharpness doesn't show in screenshots but it is definitely there . edit I tried .70 and then full on 1.0 for sharpness and even that is a leap Edited January 16, 2020 by user1000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) I´ve tried to change the sharpen settings to the max - and as far as I can tell there is a tiny difference, especially in the background. But judge for yourselves (in game settings are on "best" and "quality"): Edited January 16, 2020 by umlaut 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallysWorld Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) The only game I use this option for is Train Simulator as it really helps out the graphics for that. But for other games, I've never really liked it. Edited January 16, 2020 by WallysWorld 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user1000 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) I see the the difference and on other games as well. There are youtube videos on the subject. Edited January 16, 2020 by user1000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) My apologies: I made a mistake! I had exported the Nvidia settings from my old pc - but the settings pointed to a different drive than the game is installed in now. So in fact the pics above are with default Nvidia settings and the differences between them are only due to changes in in-game settings. Here are two pics with Nvidia settings on - one with sharpness off and one with (default) sharpness on. Unfortunately, the sharpness on has rather annoying effect on the menus! I´ve tried to adjust the "Ignore film grain" setting, but it doesnt seem to have any effect. Edited January 16, 2020 by umlaut 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user1000 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 umlaut thanks, I had the same problem at menus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I had to setup Red Thunder today - so I decided I might as well run a little test on the graphics quality: The in-game settings are best/quality/antialiasing on in all pics. First pic is default Nvidia settings Second pic is costumized Nvidia settings (copied from my previous setup) - with sharpness off Third pic is costumized Nvidia settings (copied from my previous setup) - with sharpness on (default settings) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waffelmann Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Good tip! The grass is a little bit sharper in the last one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 One can also definitely see more detail like the camo on helmets etc. Presumably this new nVidia graphic option is only for Win 10 machines? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffelmann Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I dont't see differences in the camo...only the normal randomess...maybe I am really blind... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commanderski Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I do see a difference but I am curious as to why the number on the half-track changes from 1122 to 522. I would think that the change in sharpness wouldn't change the number. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to reload the game after changing the settings. So the game loads a random halftrack texture each time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrach Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Good tip! The default post-processing in the game is way too blurry. I use Reshade with the LumaSharpen filter to achieve a similar effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG TOW Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Once you have figured all settings that are optimal, I would like to see a screen shot or list. I would like to try these settings as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commanderski Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Here's a link to what low latency is and what it does: https://www.howtogeek.com/437761/how-to-enable-ultra-low-latency-mode-for-nvidia-graphics/ One thing it says "Warning: This will potentially reduce your FPS." I don't have it turned on yet and may play around a bit with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"“Low Latency modes have the most impact when your game is GPU bound, and framerates are between 60 and 100 FPS, enabling you to get the responsiveness of high-framerate gaming without having to decrease graphical fidelity. “ This is pretty much the opposite of CM, which is CPU bound, and with relataively low FPS for most users. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
