What?
Since this game was developed for consoles in the first place, developers had to remove as many features from the game as they could (including even some very basic ones) so the consoles don't explode when running this game. Like Anisotropic Filtering for instance that has zero performance impact on modern systems yet consoles can't handle it.
How?
1. Head to your graphic driver settings.
For Nvidia this will be Control Panel. Open It by right click on your desktop and choosing "Nvidia Control Panel'.
2. Click Manage 3D Settings
3. Click Program Settings
4. Find AC: Syndicate in drop-down list and click on it
5. Find "Anisotropic Filtering" and set it to "16x"
6. Click "Apply"
7. Enjoy your game

Doesn't work for me. Actually none of the NVCP settings seem to work for this game, as I can't cap my framerate using it. Am on Ubisoft Connect not Steam

Y'all should seriously look up what AF actually does. There's a huge difference in the distant ground textures

JR, anisotropic filtering doesn't/can't affect cascaded shadows. It's a method of texture filtering.

THE FORCED 16X (JUST MORE CRAPPY UPSCALE) LOOKS FAKE! Shadows look run together and like a blob or like some weiner's spray can ran low. If consoles are crap the so are pc's as they use the same tech and architectures to do their jobs.

"has zero performance impact on modern systems yet consoles can't handle it"

Just 1 screenshot does not tell much, but you can see the difference. Those crevices in the road are visible far beyond, while default you cannot see any detail in the road, just flat surface. Makes bigger difference while playing, being able to see way more detail way further away.

look right in the center at the ground

maybe it's because I don't know what exactly this is supposed to affect, but I don't see a difference between the screenshots. Should I be looking at the shadows? the trees? the people?

is it bad i don't see a difference
