ReShade RealVision (Low FPS hit)
Preset description:
About:
My preset is all about making NieR look awesome, even more immersive while being gameplay oriented and FPS friendly. There's no DOF or custom AA, you can add them manually if you want to but it will affect performance. As I mentioned, I tried to keep good performance - FPS hit is very low (for me it's 2-4 FPS depending on area).
My specs and settings:
Specs:
GPU: GTX 660
CPU: i5 3350-P.
RAM: 8 GB DDR3
(it's pretty bad and still stable)
In-game:
Using FAR (you should too)
Resolution: 1920x1080
AA: Off
Texture Filter: 4x
Motion blur: Off
Shadows: Medium (you should use high with better specs)
Effects: High
Ambient Occlusion: On
FAR:
Bloom Res: Native
AO Res: Native
Illumination Quality: Low
Min. Light Extent: 13%
(these gets me like 15 FPS while Low looks sometimes better than Ultra imo, 13% light extent gets free FPS while changing nothing in-game, shouldn't glitch anywhere)
Final note
Press F6 to toggle Ambient Lighting and F7 to toggle Tonemap. These should be enabled for better looks but turning them off can save some frames ;) Also, you can increase/decrease Tonemap saturation to your liking but 0,42 looks the best imo. I sometimes felt like desert is little oversaturated. Opinions and criticism are welcome, feel free to comment :)
INSTRUCTIONS AND DOWNLOAD:
These steps will help you install and configure FAR & ReShade as well as optimize game for best quality/performance ratio. If you did this already, download only settings.
1. Download all required files and unpack them, I packed it for you: https://www.mediafire.com/?xk9brzkhplq9sx2 (it includes FAR, ReShade, shaders/textures, and my config file)
2. Copy contents of "FAR" folder to NieR game directory (if you can't find that directory: right click on NieR in Steam library>Properties>Local Files>Browse local files...)
3. Copy "My Mods" folder to My Documents.
4. Launch the game and let FAR create configuration files. Press Ctrl+Shift+Backspace to bring up menu.
There, expand the section called "Plug-Ins" and check the box on the left of "ReShade".
5. I also recommend you to change Bloom and AO Resolution from Default (800x450) to Native under Post-Processing section. It will make game look better and eliminate potential artifacts.
6. Change Global Illumination under Lighting section from Ultra to High, Medium or Low. High looks same as ultra and gives free FPS boost. Medium looks the same most of the time while Low looks kind of different but not totally in a bad way. It gives shadows extra depth which I really like and MASSIVE performance boost. I used Low settings on screenshots as well. If you can handle High/Medium then you can use it, I just prefer low. Don't use Off or you may see glitchy stuff. I also recommend you to set Minimum Light Extent to 10-15% since it doesn't affect anything noticeable and gives minor FPS boost in some places. I use 13%.
Comparisons between settings:
https://diff.pics/rI3rlfnYA9wt/1 and https://diff.pics/rI3rlfnYA9wt/2
7. You can also mess with other FAR features like force native resolution fullscreen or windowed borderless, disable annoying FAR achievements pop-ups, unlock FPS limit, hide cursor, etc.
8. After you're done, restart the game and open ReShade menu (Shift+F2 by default).
9. Click on Settings tab, you should have two Paths mentioned there, one for Effect and one for Texture. Add the missing subfolders to these paths. "\Shaders" for effect and "\Textures" for texture. It should look like this:
EFFECT: <path to your Documents>\My Mods\SpecialK\PlugIns\ThirdParty\ReShade\Shaders
TEXTURE: <path to your Documents>\My Mods\SpecialK\PlugIns\ThirdParty\ReShade\Textures

10. Restart the game once again.
11. Open ReShade menu (Shift+F2 again) and select RealVisionTrejser.ini from drop-down list there.
12. Close the ReShade menu, press Ctrl+Shift+O to hide FAR monitors yellow text and enjoy the game :)
