Looking for some assistance with an issue I just cant seem to quite figure out. In the first two screenshots below, I've circled/pointed to the areas of issue and essentially certain textures and areas such as runways are not very smooth on the edging and are jagged/staired. The only somewhat fix I have found is turning on FXAA within P3D but then virtual cockpit issues with blurring occur. I've tried everything I can think of from specific P3D/Nvidia Control Panel/Nvidia Inspector tweaks but nothing seems to really work well. If you check the 3rd screenshot, the issue doesn't appear to really effect the aircraft or anything close up/zoomed but rather distant textures.Any Assistance will be greatly appreciated and specs/info are below.
CPU: Intel i7-8700k overclocked to 5.1GHz with hyperthreading off (Liquid Cooling).
GPU: I have been testing between a GTX 1080 8GB, GTX Titan X, and my new recent GPU being the new GTX Titan V. (Currently on driver 398.11, but have tested several of the other common versions but no noticeable change)
Ram: 32GB G.SKILL TridentZ RGB DDR4-3200
HD: Samsung 960 Pro NVMe M.2 SSD
Monitor: Asus VGA248QE Gaming Monitor (Have Tested with all refresh rates with no difference). Also have tested with an OMEN by HP 25 Gaming Monitor with no difference.
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit 1803 build 17134.112
Sim: Prepar3D 4.2 (Latest with all simconnect installations)
P3D Config Tweaks: AffinityMask at 15, FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.10, OPAQUE_SHADOW_TEXTURE_SIZE=4096, and TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=9. Entire file will be at very bottom as well as screenshots of preset settings.
Nvidia Inspector: See 4th/5th Screenshot

P3D Tweak Assistant (PTA Utility) v2.61 using the "adam_pta261_03_vc_on : Aircraft/VC lighting ON" preset found at http://www.nzfsim.org/index.php?dsp=PTA (No changes have been made to preset).
I should also say that each time I switched GPUs, changed drivers, or made any big changes, I used the Nvidia DDU Utility in Safe Mode to remove drivers then reinstalled as a clean install. I also deleted the shader cache and every so often ill do the scenery cache as well. I appreciate any bit of assistance given and if any further information is needed/any questions, ill be standing by and more than happy to provide that. Thanks again and happy flying!
