Preset description:
Please note that the Deband shader is hard on GPU performance so disable it if you're on a low end system.
For some unknown reason FXAA drastically reduces GPU usage, by as much as half. I have never seen this happen before. Due to this the mod will actually use less GPU if it's enabled with Deband off than if it was off completely.
The Deband shader can increase GPU usage by 50% but I kept it because it's excellent at smoothing out grain and banding in skyboxes.
The MXAO ambient occlusion shader is also hard on the gpu but I have optimized as much as possible, and it can be switched off to gain extra performance.
The Tint shader (Sepia.fx) is used to improve character skin tone and boost other colours slightly.
So in other words...
Quality Mode: All 4 shaders activated
Performance Mode: Press the Home key and uncheck the box next to Deband
Ultra Performance Mode: Press the Home key and uncheck the boxes next to MXAO and Deband
