Which Setting to Adjust

[DabullAir]

It seems the last update resetted my display settings. I didn’t document them before. I think I got most of things running as before but now my texture rendering is no longer any good. I have an FSX look to them now and they don’t render until i get really close. See below.

What setting should I adjust to improve this?
Here are my current settings.
V-SYNC: OFF
RENDER SCALING: 100
ANTI-LIASING: TAA
TERRAIN LEVEL OF DETAIL: 100
TERRAIN VECTOR DATA: MEDIUM
BUILDINGS: MEDIUM
TREES: HIGH

OBJECT LEVEL DETAIL: 100
VOLUMETRIC CLOUDS: MEDIUM
TEXTURE RESOLUTION: HIGH
ANISOTROPIC FILTERING: OFF
TEXTURE SURPERSAMPLING: 4X4
TEXTURE SYNTHESIS: MEDIUM
WATER WAVES: MEDIUM
SHADOW MAPS: 768
TERRAIN SHADOWS: OFF
CONTACT SHADOWS: LOW
WINDSHIELD EFFECTS: MEDIUM
AMBIENT OCCLUSION: LOW
REFLECTIONS: LOW
LIGHT SHAFTS: LOW
BLOOM: ON
—>DEPTH OF FIELD: MEDIUM
MOTION BLUR: LOW
LENS CORRECTION: OFF
LENS FLARE: OFF
GLASS COCKPIT REFRESH RATE: MEDIUM

I have a gaming laptop with a Intel(R) Core™ i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.60 GHz Processor and 16GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 960M GPU.

I just want to get it back to where it ran smoothly and looked decent.

Thanks.

I got most of my settings from that post but I don’t understand them all

Thanks. I will tweak a couple more of my settings to match yours and see how it performs. I did notice I get a nice huge performance hit with anisotropic ON.

On the Data tab, have you checked that Online Functionality is On & Bing Data World Graphics is On?
The update might have switched them Off

That’s correct, but it’s the one setting wich is responsible for the huge increase in sharpness and crispness.
The problem is most likely your 7 year old Mobile GPU.
With higher performance/desktop GPUs the performance impact isn’t as big.

Thanks folks. I was able to up some of my settings and change anisotropic to 2X. 4X won’t work for me.

I think I am whole again.
