Here's my Global profile exported out of NVIDIA Inspector. Try renaming that, importing it and seeing how it makes things look to you.

I'm not running SLI or multi-monitors though, and it looks like you are judging by your current settings, so you might have to change a couple of my settings to suit your hardware setup.

I'm not an expert at any of this and I haven't experimented much with a lot of these advanced settings, but I can say, once you start getting into stuff like 'Combined AA' modes, and 'Transparency Supersampling' (which is essential for anti-aliasing to work on the cockpit gauges for example) instead of 'Transparency Multisampling', the whole ball-game changes in regards to the 'usual' AA and AF settings and the way they all relate to each other and work together. I mentioned some of this in more detail in the other thread.

So, it's not possible anymore to just say "use 16xAA and 16xAF, or fractions thereof depending on your framerate", and leave it at that. There are different kinds of AA now, working in different ways and applied to different parts of the image.

Having said that though, it could well be that all those complicated and obscure looking advanced settings I've never seen before aren't really all that complicated. I imagine too a lot of them are just irrelevant or superfluous for the average end-user, and at the end of the day, I just can't be bothered sorting through them and all their possible combinations anyway.

At the moment, for me, the settings I'm using are giving me a good balance between frame-rates and overall image quality, with a level of in-cockpit anti-aliasing I've never seen before, so I'm sticking with those for the time being. What works for you is up to you.
