Yo waddup its ya boi, unfriendly neighbourhood fetus coming back at it again. Today I would like to share a way to bring back sharpness slider in nvidia control panel to make game look more crisp.

Download (pick the Enable Old Sharpening Back With Display Scaling.reg)
Step 1. Run the regedit as admin. And press Yes. (You can also change the value yourself without downloading, open up regedit, go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvlddmkm\FTS] and change value "EnableGR535" to 0)
Now you will see the image sharpening option again instead of image scaling

Step 2. Add OpenJK multiplayer as a program in nvidia control panel (If you dont see it there already)
If you recently opened it it should show up when you press add, if it doesnt its the /gamedata/mbii.x86.exe
Step 3. Set what sharpness you want and hit apply. I've tried 75 and 80 and they look good to me, you can lower it if its too much for you.

Disclaimer: Might have a miniscule performance hit, unlike amd's sharpness nvidia's can drop some fps. But I haven't noticed any, still hit fps cap frequently. So try for yourself.

Here's a video on the topic if you want to learn more
