Instructions
|
- Enable MSAA in the in-game graphics settings, using your desired sample count. For 4xSGSSAA, set 4xMSAA in the in-game settings, for example.
- Open Race Driver: GRID driver profile via Nvidia Profile Inspector.
- Enable the "Show unknown settings from NVIDIA predefined profiles" option (magnifying glass icon in the button toolbar.)
- In the "Antialiasing" section, in the "Antialiasing - Combined (Mode + Setting)" choice, select the "0x22800010 Enhance | 4x MSAA + 4x SGSSAA" option. If you configured a different MSAA sample count in the game's setting (like 8xMSAA), then select the appropriate "Enhance" option instead that matches the in-game MSAA sample count.
- Apply changes.
