Hi jamie,
nothing is changed in the Nvidia control panel. All changes are made via ICC profile update for the monitor to the latest one, monitor calibrated, monitor settings adjusted as listed above and SweetFX preset v2.0 above added to BF4.

Nvidia control panel settings - Prefer maximum performance. SLI enabled. That's it.

Fierce.

1. One of the BEST Presets so far and I tried many. (Win7, Samsung SyncMaster TA350, in Game Brightness 60)
The Lightning Indoor are amazing!

2.@ Rudzik82, download Sweetfx and copy paste in the BF4 Folder. After that simple copy and paste this Preset also in the BF4 folder aaaand, its done ;) on Win7

3. Maybe the Preset gets an Update in the Future ^^ many Thanks to FBrosnan007

Instructions to install this preset-
Download SweetFX+eFX for Windows 8.1 here - http://www.mediafire.com/download/5v14i2tudus7p90/SweetFX%2BeFX-Win8.1.rar or on Jeffroc421 youtube tutorial. (Search- BF4+windows8.1+sweetfx and look for BF4-'SweetFX-Win 8.1-Win10-Install Guide' by Jeffroc421.
In the description you can download SweetFX+eFX for win 8.1. Use the x64 files for BF4. Save all these x64 files to where BF4.exe is located. (for example- this pc- local disk (C:) - bf4 - battlefield 4) You will see installer, core, pb, support in the same folder.
Next- download my preset above by clicking the 'Download preset' button and save this to your computer. Go to the game folder where BF4.exe is (Like my example above) and delete SweetFX_Settings.txt
Copy my preset to this same folder where you just deleted SweetFX_Settings.txt, replacing it with my preset above and renaming it to SweetFX_Settings.txt and save.
Start the game and you will see natural colours.
Scroll lock turns SweetFX on/off.
Please note* This method only works for windows 8.1.
My preset also works for BF3 once you use the x86 files in the links above instead and rename d3d9.dll to d3d9_enb.dll
Any preset for BF4 will then work for BF3.
Good luck and Happy Christmas :)

Thanks for the nice feedback King. Quite a few using this preset now :-).
The preset looks good on tvs too, not just on monitors. We tried it out. Can't understand why the game didn't come with better colours and sharpness like this tbh. Enjoy. :-)

After testing like 10 of the best presets on here, I've decided that this is by far the best of the bunch. It's colorful, sharp, and perfectly bright just like real life. Some of the other ones, like K-Putt, for instance (just my opinion), have too much contrast, while others are not colorful enough, etc. etc. Great preset, loving it! Thank you SOOOOOOO much :))
