I have noticed this as well, on both NVidia Gt 1030, and AMD Vega 11.

 

It looks like there are 2 groups of textures. Which texture goes to which group?

Group 1: Anisotropic filtering allowed group. In this group, trilinear from game option does nothing and does not work when anisotropic is off in game option.

Group 2: Never do anisotropic filtering. Trilinear works fine from game option, but not anisotropic filtering.

 

When I force anisotropic filtering to OFF in NVidia control panel, and turn on in-game anisotropic and trilinear, I can finally get trilinear without anisotropic everywhere in this game.

This game is missing "x2" anisotropic option when both AMD and NVidia can override to x2.

I kindof wish there was an option to override and force on or off Trilinear filtering for both AMD and NVidia control panel profile.
