1. DESCRIPTION
A minor patch for GRID Autosport with a bad pun for a name. Made to address known issues on the PCGW page by tweaking a couple of values in the configuration files, so that you don't have to do it yourself. It's plug'n'play, baby. Online friendly.
Check out the gif comparisons in the gallery, they speak for themselves.
If you're looking to push the graphics further, check out my Enhanced Ultra mod instead. It also has all the features of this patch.
2. FEATURES
1 - Fixes the "blurry distant textures" issue by increasing Anisotropic Filtering.
By default, the game uses a variable filtering with a minimum of 4x and a maximum of 16x on Ultra which looks pretty bad.
The new values for each preset are as follows:
Note: Pretty much every computer should be able to run the Ultra setting with little to no performance hit.
2 - Unlocks Intel exclusive features for all CPUs.
- Intel's Approximate Order Independent Transparency (AOIT).
It's a better transparency blending algorithm. It improves smoke, grass and particle rendering.
Known as "Advanced Blending" in the Advanced Graphics menu.
- Intel's Adaptive Volumetric Shadow Mapping (AVSM).
It allows for particle shadowing, such as smoke, grass, trees and debris.
Known as "Smoke Shadows" in the Advanced Graphics menu.
3 - Allows for resolutions above your native monitor resolution for downsampling.
Meaning you can now run the game at 1440p on your native 1080p screen, using DSR/VSR/DLDSR or custom resolutions. This is known as "Downsampling" and provides a crystal clear image quality as well as the best anti-aliasing solution possible.

By default, the game uses a variable filtering with a minimum of 4x and a maximum of 16x on Ultra which looks pretty bad.
The new values for each preset are as follows:
- "Low": Min 8x - Max 16x,
- "High": Min 12x - Max 16x,
- "Ultra": Min 16x - Max 16x - meaning you get a fixed level of 16x filtering on all textures.
Note: Pretty much every computer should be able to run the Ultra setting with little to no performance hit.

3. INSTALLATION
- Download the archive and extract its content into your GRID Autosport installation folder,
- Set the general preset to Ultra, then go to Advanced settings and tweak to your liking. This step is required. If skipped, some settings will be marked as "Custom" and the game won't allow you to change them.
4. KNOWN ISSUES & COMPATIBILITY
- AVSM (Smoke Shadows) can be pretty demanding.
