    Hello All,
    I have tried almost every recommended combination of Nvidia settings I could find on these forums to make RRE look good and I am still experiencing Aliasing (tearing & flickering) and overall distortion. It just looks bad! Very frustrating because RRE is my favorite sim and obviously I want it to look as good as it possibly can on my PC (don't we all?) Here are my PC specs:
    AMD X4 860 Quad Core 3.70
    Windows 10 - 64 bit
    8 Gigs RAM
    GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
    Single display: 1920x1080 @ 60 refresh rate
    Windows 10 64bit

    I am using Nvidia Inspector to "fine tune" the GPU settings but I can't seem to find the right combination of Inspector settings and In game settings. I have tried A LOT of combinations and I don't know what I'm missing. I feel like it is almost there but just not quite as good as it could be. I'm not worried about CPU performance because my PC runs the sim great. I just want to improve the graphics.
    Thank You

    I don't use nVidia inspector, so can't comment on this. But I have quite good results using the ingame settings and the control panel only. I have an i7 8700 and a GTX1070, so maybe you need to adapt the level of filtering on your end but this is what I did and has proven to be really good for me:

    I maxed out about everything in the in game settings. I don't usr motion blur as I don't like it, but the rest in all maxed out, with one exception: I disabled the ingame FXAA.

    Since the in game settings don't support any anisotropic filtering, I activated this and maxed it out in the nVidia control panel.

    And now comes the funny part: I activated FXAA in the nVidia control panel.

    Normally FXAA shouldn't be necessary at all when you have "real" AA methods enabled, but without FXAA I still get a lot of jagged edges at some parts of the cars, even with real AA maxed out. And by testing around I found out that the nVidia FXAA gives a far better result than the in game FXAA. Image doesn't get so blurry and still smoothes the edges that are jagged without it quite nicely. I guess this comes from the order in which the FXAA is applied within the rendering process. But this is pure speculation on my side.

    Thank You for the response.
    So by "maxed out" I assume your in game AA is set to 8x?
    I will try your suggestions today.
    Thank You

    Could also try to enable Vsync see if that helps
