Improved graphics settings for NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4090
By moodskeet
I'm running the game with an NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4090, monitor is 3440 x1440 @ 60fps. Making the following changes to the Graphics.config.xml file in `C:\Users\[Your Windows Username]\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Planet Coaster 2\Config_Local` made a significant improvement in the image quality all around.

Let me know if these settings helped you in any way.

@ChrisHD - You got it! Great suggestion about setting the config file to "Read-only" otherwise the game will overwrite the changes if any modifications are made to the graphics settings in the in game setting menu.

@kawaknaller - Most of the custom modifications are commented in the code above. I'm glad you're getting great results too!

Thanks a lot for your config file! I'm on an Radeon 7900 XTX and different display settings myself, but I simply manually changed each corresponding value in my config file.

I'd also recommend everyone to set their config file to "Read-only" by right-clicking the file and clicking on Properties!
