Fixing the game's awful Anti-Aliasing

In this guide I'll show how to make the game look way sharper, especially in motion, using the Nvidia's DLDSR or AMD's VSR technologies.

Nvidia/AMD control panel

First things first - the way we're going to fix the in-game antialiasing is by using Nvidia's DLDSR. What this means is that if you're using a 1080p panel like I do, you'll be rendering the game at 1440p and downscaling it to 1080p, which provides excellent image quality without a big perfomance hit. You can do it with AMD's VSR, which is a similar feature, although I can't test it myself.

How to enable that function?

• Open the Nvidia Control Panel and go to Manage 3D Settings.
  
• Go to the Global Settings and enable these two features:

Ingame settings

I'm using a 1080p monitor and a RTX 3060 Ti, so I'll be using these settings for the best performance:

• 2560x1440p rendering resolution
  
• DLSS Quality mode on (this means you'll be rendering the game at 1080p, upscaling it to 1440p and downscaling it to 1080p again)
  
• other settings at high/ultra except crowds and car reflections

We're done!

These changes made me go from 90-110 fps stable to 80-90 fps stable, so the game is still perfectly smooth, outside of the usual stuttering.

Comparing various settings

1080p native with DLSS Quality

1080p native with Epic AA

1080p native with Low AA

1080p downscaled from 1440p with DLSS Quality

Close up shots in motion, downscaled 1440p on the left, 1080p DLSS on the right

@willdarling if you have nvidia surround enabled or custom resolutions, disable them. Then the setting should appear.

With surround though, you will need to enabled dsr-factors. Go to the Change Resolution tab and make a new custom resolution for each monitor that is the same as a dsr-factors resolution. Then, switch each monitor to the custom res, then enable nvidia surround. The new render resolution will be a custom resolution higher than the native res of your monitor. NvControl Panel has a scaling section, under Adjust Desktop Size and Position. You will notice that any scaling done to output the rendered resolution to the display, will get scaled by the display under these circumstances. This may or may not be beneficial depending on monitor.

anyone else unable to see those 2 DSR options in the nVidia control panel?
I've been trying to get them to appear for hours - what a rabbit hole!!
