Simple tweak, massive gains, tiny performance hit.

So last week I came across a random post where someone mentioned a tweak I had not tried yet. Like most of you I’ve spent a considerable amount of time with settings. I’m all dialed in with Edprofiler and such and had been happy enough. Someone mentioned anisotropic filtering at 16x via the nvidea control panel. I figured I’d try it when I got home and Holy Balls it felt like a new improved head set. Everything became just so clear.

I posted on reddit and have seen some people very happy with the result so figured I’d post it here. This has been the the best setting tweak I’ve made with the biggest improvement. Give it a whirl and see if it helps your visual clarity. Good luck commanders.

Not come across this, will give it a go, thanks. BTW, which headset are you using?

Rift. Just got a new high end rig and wanted to see how ED VR ran. Was happy with the increased performance but damn that one setting was a better improvement than upgrading my rig I think. Good luck

There is a very slight downside to forcing x16 AF - spacedust changes from being smooth streaks to being “dotty”. Not something that’s really bothered me, I’ve had it forced on since Horizons Beta as it made such a change to planetary surfaces :)

I wouldn't be too suspicious, people are generally pretty nice to each other in this part of the forum. We all like VR here and many of us have spent a lot of time and money trying to get the best experience. I bet plenty of people lurk here before they say anything. Not a dig btw (y)

16x AF is fantastic, can't believe I missed it! Kruelbeanz is my new hero. I was skeptical at the idea but damn!

Can you write in more detail the procedure for improving the image according to your version? Or - could you give a link to the description of this procedure?

Hey Meresiga, if you're only referring to the AF, it was just a case of changing the AF setting in NVCP for EliteDangerous64.exe. If, as I believe, you're referring to Kruelbeanz other tweaks, yup - I'd be interested too :)

Same for me. And I found texts to be blurry.

That's weird, my text has become ( almost but not quite ) pin-sharp. My only gripe was, after awhile, I noticed something that almost look like a slight heat haze effect on text so I dropped the AF to 8x and it went away.

Tried the 8x setting on my rig (i7-4790K, GTX 1080 & Rift CV1 )
the text looked sharper, with no noticeable performance hit..
Just ordered an RTX 2080S, so will push the settings higher once that arrives..

Thanks for the reminder! (Sorry, a flat screen user here.)
Game looks better with forced high level AF on a flat screen too.
I recently did a clean Windows install and forgot to force the AF in NVidia control panel, something didn't look right in the game. Yes, those supercruise streaks felt too bright, they weren't something I'm used to, dots that 'streakify' as supercruise speed increases is what it is supposed to be, IMHO. Performance hit 1-2 FPS in the game menu screen (which seems to put pretty much highestst strain this game can achieve on my system for some unfathomable reason).
