On the chance that this may help some of you I decided to post my solution.
Background : Over the last few months I've become increasingly annoyed as I've spent more time messing with settings in various games at times than playing them. The four biggest issues I've had have been :
(1) jerky in-game cut scenes on some titles
(2) Automobilista and GSC stuttering in replays
(3) F1 2017 - excessive blur and worst of all white sparkling edges where the AA SHOULD have been
(4) Assetto Corsa - flickering shadows and again the white edges
I've tried every setting known to man, I've tweaked, I've reinstalled numerous times.
It was starting to get to the point tonight where I was thinking something was wrong with my system. Then in a flash of inspiration I uninstalled the latest Nvidia driver (for my average GTX 970) INCLUDING Physx and Experience and I reinstalled 358.50 DRIVER ONLY.
NO Experience, NO PhysX, just the driver.
I am stunned.
F1 2017 is sharp, AA actually WORKS WITH THE GAME SETTINGS.
Assetto Corsa's shadows are crisp and clean.
GSC and AMS are running replays like a dream.
ALL the white sparkles are gone.
I can only surmise that Nvida have added so much crap over the last couple of years that going back to something with less complexity has in some way solved my issues, but I literally feel like I've had a system upgrade.
FINALLY F1 2017 looks like the screenshots.
If this helps one person then the post will have been worthwhile - I urge you to try it out and post your findings.
Thanks
