Is there any way to improve LOD and reduce pop-in?

I get that it's done for performance, but I want to know if there's any way to force the game to render objects further away despite the obvious performance impact.

 

I'm so very, very, very, very tired of smashing into objects that didn't render until 15 feet away when I'm driving 10 feet per second.

I think Object Quality is the setting for that. It increases the level of detail for trees and such, but also increases the distance in which those objects are rendered. So if you're driving in the roads, it'll affect how far away the cars and trees are "popped" in. It does reduce performance as you mentioned, so personally I only have it at max, which i think is Ultra, when I'm driving on the highways.

Someone mentioned trying "gfx lodbias 2" in the console.  It might help.
