There are a few screenshots there that are nearly indistinguishable from Google street view on my phone. I’m excited to give these a try if I get home tonight.

Thx for sharing but what about your settings? Vegetation, mirrors, screen res. scaling. and your system( cpu, gpu)? how is your performance(fps)?

I play at 300% scalling, TAA with disabled SSAO. Mirrors quality, resolution and distance i have at medium. The rest settings I have on high. My pc specs are i3-12100f paired with rtx 3060 and im getting around 75fps with the nvidia presets turn on.

[Update] Made some changes to Nvidia presets (improved lighting color and sky and clouds lighting). Added custom settings to Nvidia control panel to improve image and textures quality. Added new and better quality photos and one photo with comparison.

[Update] Slighly decreased saturation. Specially noticable when driving through the deserts or plains with dry grass.

The colors seem a bit too vibrant for my taste. I prefer the more subdued vanilla palette. Removed - Rule 2.3

The good thing about nvidia presets unlike in mods is that you can very simple tweak some values. So if you preffered less saturated scene you can change it. Also the saturation and colors may be slightly diffrent depending on your monitor/screen. When I viewing this thread on my phone the colors ale more saturated beacuse i have toggled on "life" mode that makes films on my phone looks better.

Thanks! It looks fanatstic with these settings. Unfortunately, the game stutters (around 55 fps with the typical ATS/ETS stutter, not just unnoticably less frames like in every other game).
Obviously too much postprocessing in 3440x1440 with 200% scaling on an RTX 2070 Super.

You can try lowering some settings like mirrors settings to medium. And disabling SSAO if you use. You can also change antiailising settings to only TAA. For me the TAA+SMAA is consuming almost 10fps and the diffrence in graphics quality is negligible. But for me and many people the best thing to improve performance is changing two paramets in config file: (I have 75hz monitor so for me this looks like this)
uset t_averaging_window_duration "75" <-- set this to monitor's default refresh rate
uset t_averaging_window_length "150" <-- set to 2x the monitor refresh rate
