    First post. Cool there’s a forum for this.
    I am having severe flickering from what appears to be reflective areas and places like front end grills or taillight areas and reflections on grandstands.
    It’s obviously highly annoying. Night racing is almost not worth it.
    I have literally tried everything except DSR in Nvidia control panel. I’ve touched and moved every adjustment in the sim so many times I can’t count. I’ve adjusted Nvidia settings more than I can count. I’ve tried settings in Nvidia control panel in conjunction with sim settings. I’ve tried game mode on/off, I turned HDR on/off. I reinstalled windows. DDU drivers. Direct X 12. Everything is up to date. Used afterburner to decrease voltage and clock speeds. Changed outlet plugs in house. This happens both on my 3060 and my 3080. Nothing helps. Happens in VR too, so rules out monitor. Verified sim, clean install of sim. Removed folder and let AMS make another one.
    Intel 6 core
    850 power supply
    Rtx 3080 (can run full graphics)
    Rtx 3060 (much less powerful than 3080)
    32 GB ram
    Windows 11
    Solid state drive (mvrp or whatever, I can never remember)

    I get a lot of shimmer on what looks like sharp edges, Obviously AA TO THE MAX. It looks like shadows but mostly reflections(maybe it’s sharp edges like railings, spoilers, splitters) are all turning on and off real quick. Almost like the reflections are throttled, you know how setting max vehicles you see them disappear and reapear. Idk. I can’t unsee it. It’s absolutely horrible.

    what the heck do I do?
    This is just from my phone of the monitor. Pretty obvious. Does it in VR too.

    Is this something that is common or just me?

    Ugh. Maybe there could be a setting in AMS2 to turn off reflections completely? If that’s the problem. Currently it only lets you set reflections to LOW but no off option. Who knows if that would help.

    Maybe, but I think the issue is the antialiasing. I wish the new shaders person adds in something to help eliminate the issue

    Been asking for this to be fixed even before the sim released knowing how bad all the project cars games were.

    From 2020 i posted this. Anti aliasing
    "I won't do night in AMS 2 because of the shimmer on backs of cars! This is another issue altogether I think. It seems like it's reflections or something! I can see it on helmets and roll cages, i haven't driven enough at night in AMS2 because I saw the same things in my short test that plagued pC2 (rear spoilers on GT3 where I big issue in pC2)."

    One trick I used with 100% success to counter shimmering in other sims is the combo MSAA + Sparse Grid Supersampling (SGSS).
    It is very taxing, but on your 3080 it shouldn't be a problem.
    You can achieve this using Nvidia Profile Inspector, then use the SAME amount of SGSS than you use for MSAA, i.e., if you're using 4x MSAA, use 4x SGSS and so on.
    Also, to counter a little bit of blur, try to adjust LOD Bias to roughly negative 0.5 to every 2x you apply, i.e., -0.5 for 2x MSAA/SGSS; -1 for 4x MSAA/SGSS and so on.
    Important: on Profile Inspector, you may want to experiment with "Antialising Mode" between "Override" or "Enhance".

    Note> I haven't even tried this as I still play with an old 1080, but seeing that AMS2 supports MSAA, it should be doable.

    Dude. So trying this out today!

    I just choose the AMS profile in the inspector, change it and save?

    I don’t see any settings that say SGSS specifically, but there is one section I think it’s msaa where it will say 2x2 4x4 etc. think it worked pretty good. Still a bit of testing!

    Ive not seen SGSS work well in AMS2 but 100% needed in AMS1. AA Inspector.PNG

    Ive never seen anything like what you have here, through 3 different series nvidia Gpu's .

    Maybe its just the phone recording, but the whole look seems a bit strange and lacking in definition.
    there's something off with your system.
