GeForce Experience question

[Bjørn]

Hello.

I notice that GeForce Experience recommends 400% scaling for ATS and 200% for ETS2. Don't the 2 games use the same engine?

Also it recommends anti-aliasing set to ultra, and indicates it is off for both sims, even though I have it on in the game.

Anyone have any tips / clarifications, please?

My specs are Ryzen 2700X, RTX 2070 GPU, 32 GB RAM. I'm running at 2560x1440.

Well GForce Experience does not work for me for either game, there are settings in there which do not exist in the game anymore, so it can't change them.
I just do all in the game now. I have a RTX 2070 and I have it maxed out on everything, my triple monitors are only 60hz so I have vsync on and it is locked at 60 fps. I never get any stutters or any thing (only very very slight pause when it does its autosave, even though game is installed on a Samsung SSD 970 Evo Plus NVME.

Note:- I do not use any graphics mods. I only have map mods and a couple others that do not affect graphics or trucks/trailers in anyway.

Thanks.

3 monitors sounds like paradise! I'm an old flight simmer, and some people had 9 or more monitors in the older Flight Simulator versions. That's taking it a bit far, though, and they were lucky if they got 15 fps...

But I've recently gone from a 24" flat screen to a 32" curved one, and it's night and day! It's like I'm really there now, and see everything so clearly... So that's the reason for my sudden interest in this.

I do have a graphics mod for both games (made by the same guy) and some others, but they don't affect much compared to vanilla.

I get about 48 fps in 400% and 72 in 200% (monitor is 144 Hz). 48 is acceptable, but I prefer 72+ so I use 200%. However, there is a noticeable annoying difference in anti-aliasing between the two.

There should be some kind of adjustable blur-effect in the graphics settings like there is for the photo mode. That would help with the AA.

Difference in scaling might be because the lanes are more narrow in Europe. Trucks/trailers a bit smaller. I use 400% scaling in ATS and 300% in ETS2.

It might also have to do with how the 2 games are optimized. ATS runs fine on high settings for me, while I had to turn a few things down to med or low in ETS2 to not get occasional stutters. I do use a few mods, but use more mods in ATS2.

I suspect that since ETS2 is 4 years older, they may not have been able to optimize it as well with the newer tech. That is just my own hunch though.

Desable Geforce Experiance, that dont work well

ETS2 has a lower overall hardware requirement from the base game being far less detailed. You can run ETS2 on some pretty ancient machines at 60FPS while ATS you won't get above 20FPS on those same machines due to the detail. That's why there's a difference. The engines are identical with minor changes to suit the differences between regions(cabin flex exists in ETS2, but not ATS). There's a lot more to visualise in ATS without any DLC. Meanwhile ETS2 is a bunch of copy-paste assets all over the base game.

That's a different type of scaling. Scaling in ETS2/ATS in this context is the size of the textures for things like road textures, dash textures, wheel textures, text. The things that you can increase the resolution of the texture(double it up for example) and get a higher-quality looking image from it. So instead of the road asphalt being a long flat dark gray colour, you can actually see the rock on the asphalt at 400% scaling.

I run the game in high and ultra, scale 600% and have stable 60 fps, Geforce Exp. put the game in mediam settings

In this case Ge is not the beginning of Genius. I pretty much ignore it's recommendations.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

You mention 600%. I don't have that option. Did you mean 400%, or is there some tweak I don't know about?

I think GeForce Experience is good for getting an idea of what the settings should be for your system, but I do normally change some settings after they have been autoset by it.

Some of the newer games have so many graphics settings I have no idea what they all are, so in those cases i just let GE set it.

One example is Cyberpunk 2077. First time I started it it looked horrible and had bad performance. Then I let GeForce Experience adjust the settings for me, and suddenly the game looked photo-real and 50+ fps. It was quite amazing. But I think that's the first game I've tried that has used the RTX-things andt DLSS, and I was quite blown away by it. I've paused playing that game, though, until it's 'ready'... (the 1.1 patch released yesterday is not getting very positive feedbacks).

Sorry for getting off-topic. Thanks again for the tips, guys!

Btw, do any of you use the settings in the Nvidia control panel to override game settings? I've thought about that, but not sure exactly what to change/override.

You nead to change in config file

Geforce is bloatware, the only reason to have it installed is if you use shadowplay like I do. I find it to be one of the best, least resource hungry, and most consistent game recorders otherwise I wouldn't even bother with Geforce Experience at all.

Honest advice, never use it to "optimise" games. Ever.

As someone with a 1060 playing at 4k, I use ultra setting with 100% scaling (I see no real benefit to 200%+) so as a general setting start with the Ultra preset then then tweak things to find your preferred FPS versus quality setting.

Given your better GPU and lower screen res, you could probably just stick everything on highest possible settings.

If you disable SSAO and set Scaling to 300 then you can set all things to ultra and ets2 run as smooth without it chopping.
