First and foremost, this is not a discovery I made. All credit goes to snakedbr on Reddit, whom I asked permission to share and get more eyes on this.
Evidently (and I'll provide proof shortly) Turn 10 made the decision to neuter the quality of ray tracing and screen space reflection and lighting quality, even when set to ultra. Reflections are dull and not very well defined, and there's too much noise on shiny objects (like oil caps). Leading me to think the RT denoiser is either inadequate or there isn't one. GT7 has a very, very similar issue which is what ultimately led to me turning off its RT as the overall image quality is far more crisp.
Onto the meat and potatoes, the comparison:
On the left is the original, and on the right is the mod. If the differences don't immediately pop out at you, look at the ground. The light is more evenly distributed; the reflections casted are now higher resolution and, as a result, more crisp. Now look at the right (left) headlight and you'll notice it doesn't look anywhere near as flat and opaque; the details are much more pronounced than they were originally.
And now you'll start examining everything else about the picture. You're welcome.
How do you acquire this, you may be wondering? Unfortunately, this is only for PC players and it can be obtained down below. I've arranged everything into the proper folders and subfolders, so all you'll need to do is drag and drop.
Once again, all credit goes to snakedbr on Reddit so be sure to pop in and say thanks!
