I'm trying to get to the bottom of what's causing my sim to have extremely blurry textures like shown in the attached photo. My rig should be able to perform much better than what I'm seeing.

i5 6600k overclocked to 4.1 ghz
GTX 1060 GPU
2TB HD

I have minimal addons installed at this point. They are:

FTX Global Base
UT USA 2.1
OpenLC
Freemesh X
A few FSDT airports

I've tried the affinity mask set at 14, as well as played with all sliders in every way possible. I've capped the FPS anywhere between 20-40 and set it at unlimited (I usually get 60+ frames with few clouds and away from airports). What are some other things I can try to smooth things out? I'm doing defrag right now in case that helps but it was only at 8% to start so I doubt that's the issue. I've deleted the cfg file for a fresh rebuild and no tweaks and it seemed to have helped a bit but it's still not nearly where I want it.

Have you put any thought to transitioning to a SSD?

Here's a post at Avsim that might help. The OP has a system very similar to yours and the same problem.

Thanks for that thread. Between that and similar threads it seems like people are going back and forth between affinity mask, texture max load, among a few others. I tried AM at 14 and that's what originally caused the mass blurries like you saw in the photo. But I believe that setting was wrong after doing some reading and that was for if I had hyperthreading turned off. (I think) it's on by default in Windows 10 but I'll have to double check that when I get home.
