I am currently running on Nvidia driver 566.36, RTX 4090. I have changed the correct registry entry from 1 to 0, and restarted my machine. However, I still have Image Scaling and not Image Sharpening.

Do I need a different driver version? Any other ideas?

Thanks.

NEVER MIND: Not sure what I did the first time but I went into the registry and changed the value again and now its working!

Can you let us know what you think?  I have seem some pictures and they look a bit over-sharpened and 'powdery' looking to me.

What does it do? Does it impact in FPS? What registry changes are required?

Yeah, I agree. Reverted back.

I love it myself and as well I have Primary Scaling at 140 and to me it looks like I'm looking out the window at the real world 👍.  In fact this does wonders for detail at distance.  I don't use AutoFPS any more I just leave TLOD at 200 but with these two sharpeners it's crisp a long ways out and...I love it!

Take a look at this video jcomm. I love the results  and no there is no impact on fps.

Our friend MrBitstFlyer saw an image I sent to him that he commented was over-sharpened and I understood what was about that image that led him to say that.  That was done with GFE Details Filter which I no longer use now since the NV reg hack appeared.  He tried the reg hack as well and loved it and uses it in XP12 as well.  Easy to try, no framerate penalty whatsoever:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvlddmkm\Parameters\FTS
Go to GR535, change from Hex 1 to 0

The issue related to over-sharpening could be related to the other 3 factors, one of which check the monitor setting, the MSFS sharpening option, and the Nvidia App Details filters. Bring those to the initial (default) setting, and see the results first. Initially, I had the same reaction; it was indeed over-sharpened. My belief is that it depends on the GPU and NVIDIA drivers. On my laptop, it will not work, but on my desktops, it works wonders.

Absolutely, other factors come into play.  Right now I could not be happier and as said even using Render Scale of 140.  Just amazing!

Tried this out tonight and I’m genuinely impressed. I’ve always had trouble with NVIDIA filters, and while I used to like ReShade, that eventually started causing issues too. I even considered trying Atmos, but I’m glad I held off.

Just took off from KMSY at dusk with thunderstorms in the area, and I was honestly blown away by how incredible everything looked.

Thanks for sharing this!

Tried it tonight. Even VR seems to benefit from this. The difference is subtle but is definitely noticable.

Very old one this registry edit... the effect was back then over sharpening but that was in 2020

This one even older:

I wanted to try this tweak but I have not been able to get Image Sharpening to show up in the Nvidia Control Panel. I turned off Image Scaling and changed the Registry setting GR535 from Hex 1 to 0 (double checked the setting), and  I then restarted the computer (couple of times), but in the NCP I just see Image Scaling set to Off.

Could a FS2024 display setting be impacting this? I am using TAA, have  Render Scaling =105, AMD FidelityFX Sharpening = 100 (maybe this needs to be changed?), and am using FSR3. 

My GPU is a 4070Ti Super and the driver is 566.36. Using Win11.

Thank for any suggestions,

Al

Based on my experience, first go back into the registry and make sure it's actually set. I did the same thing but when I went back into the registry it was still set to 1. Then, for no reason I can explain, Image Sharpening did not appear until I had rebooted about three times. No idea why. Don't know if this will help you but that was my experience.

Everything thing looks good for me except the cockpit instruments. They are  a swimming mess. Fenixa320 Is there a fix for that. I have antiailas at 16x but I am using reshade. Maybe thats an issue. Anyone else having the swimming textures? Also using TAA FS3
