Nvidia control panel to improve the graphics?

[Kev]

Hi there,

Is there anyone thats using the nvidia control panel to improve the graphics? not talking about improving fps i got 80 everywhere but all the trees and distant objects have rough edges. When i look at some quality 4k or 1080p videos on youtube the game looks so much better.
If anyone uses the control panel to enhance their graphics plz let me know!

Hi there, don't use NVIDIA's Control Panel for graphics settings, use NVIDIA Profile Inspector instead. It's a massively improved utility that offers vastly more user customizations and options over NVIDIA's own.

The other thing is you should observe the specific in-game graphical settings first in order to get better looking visuals, as doing so will yield better visuals to go along with any graphics utility customizations.

Have a look at my quote below, from another user enquiring how to improve the game's graphics.

Originally posted by Ghost:

First off, adjust the settings ONLY while you're in-game, and NOT from the title screen, as doing so won't retain any of your saved customizations once you START your game, exit or get disconnected. It's bugged, and this could be part of the reason why you've been unsuccessful in pimping up the graphics.

Gear icon bottom left,

Performance tab:

Make sure 'Upscale' is not checked, since your rig will run this fine in 1080p, and having upscale checked will give it a grainier look - obviously.

Don't check 'Low-power option', as this will lower your frames per second. Only use this feature if you wish to save on power consumption, or to conserve battery life of a laptop. Furthermore, when you run the game while AFK (in minimized to tray mode), this option can help shave off GPU heat by 10 degrees celsius. Prolonging GPU life for the would-be AFK'ers out there! ; )

Optimiozation (beta) tab:

Enable 'Effect Optimization' and slide the slider all the way to the left to 'Prioritize Effects'.

Enable 'Character Optimization' and slide the slider all the way to the right. Obviously adjust these two if the game cannot cope with the frame rates while running on your rig.

Graphics & Textures tab:

Enable everything that can be enabled (except the snow build-up option), and set everything to High or Very High, but don't touch 'Optimal' though.

Display Settings tab:

Adjust the sliders from 'Effects' and 'Camera Graphics' to your desired preference on boosting the visuals even further. Although these can be taxing on overall performance, especially in boss battles, so be wary of that.

At any rate, doing the above will give you significantly better looking visuals, while minimizing NPC or other player pop-ups!

As for the pop-ups of flora and the likes, however, this CANNOT be helped, nor fixed, and 'this' even happens on a powerful GTX1080 Ti. It's all down to badly optimized load management, which is both the bottleneck & culprit.

Remember, don't tinker with the Settings from the title screen, it's bugged and won't save your settings, do it while you're in-game.

Lastly, once you've set your custom key configs and quickslot keys, make sure to click on the 'Setting Archive' option on the top of the Settings home page. So as to upload and save your custom settings to the servers, and should you require to use them in the future, just hit 'download' to retain your settings again on whichever PC you're play this game on! ; )

Hopefully all the above works out for you and all!
