Hello guys, today I’m going to show you some notable tips for the SSAO setting. This can only be achieved when you have a decent computer/laptop and NVidia installed in your Computer’s system.

Open nvidiainspector.exe and this should pop up.

(Values may vary according to your system’s specs.) Click that little tool button right beside the Driver Version and it should open up a new tab. It would then look like this.

After that, click the Home button beside the “profiles” and click NBA 2K14. Then go to the “Common” tab and you need to change your settings like mine, although you can experiment on the “Ambient Occlusion Setting” since I amped it up to High Quality, other users may experience lag.

Then, scroll back to the top and look at the “Compatibility” tab

and change the highlighted setting to Need for Speed: Shift (or any other setting). Just like what I did here.

Click “Apply Changes” and you’re done!

My top 5: Aion - Lighter Counterstike GO - Darker Need for Speed: Shift - Lighter Half-Life 2: Fakefactory Cinematic Mod, Half-Life 2: Episode Two – Darker Diablo III – Darker

My thoughts: I think you should go with the Half-Life 2: Fakefactory Cinematic Mod, Half-Life 2: Episode Two setting. It’s the darkest among the 5 in my opinion.

If you have any questions to ask or a better setting to suggest, feel free to say so in the comments section below.

Screenshots: Counterstrike Global Offensive

Things to look at: Jersey, face and the back of the arms shadow.

Half-Life 2: Fakefactory Cinematic Mod, Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Things to look at: Howard's forehead, Blake's jersey and shorts

If you have any screenshots to share with us, feel free to do so.

I like Aion the most. It's the most realistic IMO.
