Shader used: SweetFX 2.0
Preset description:
I decided to re-post ver 1.3, if you refer v1.3 to other versions, this topic is yours. :) • You all can also download ver 2 ( using Reshade Framework instead of SweetFX) here: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/58/? Thanks! =============================================================================================================== ••• VIDEOS ••• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5thkbEcnWQ (Thank @Nozi87) =============================================================================================================== I. HOW TO INSTALL 1. Download this archive: http://www.mediafire.com/download/qqyyxyc7s58d5cb/ 2. Extract to .../The Witcher 3/bin/x64. 3. Click "Download Preset" => rename this file to "SweetFX_settings" then replace the old one in .../The Witcher 3/bin/x64/SweetFX That's all. =============================================================================================================== II. NOTE 1. For those people who getting crashes at startup: try installing this Windows Update pack: [i]https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=36805[/i]. Or reinstall vcredist. 2. This mod is not compatible with some overlay softwares ( MSI-AB, EVGA Precision,..) 3. Using my below RECOMMENDED SETTINGS to get the best performance + quality. 4: Press SCROLL LOCK to toggle. 5. Performance impact is about 1-3 FPS. =============================================================================================================== III. RECOMMENDED SETTINGS In-Game Setting: + Fullscreen + Gamma: Default + Anti-aliasing: Off + Sharpening: Off/Low/High (depends on your preference ) + Motion Blur: Off + Blur: Off + Shadows: LOW ( Yeah, set LOW if you get low FPS, ULTRA shadows are a little softer, but the difference is really small: [i]http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-graphics-performance-and-tweaking-guide#the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-shadow-quality[/i] ) =============================================================================================================== IV.

@shadow8531 as it seems you like the fantasy themed graphics: oversaturated with too much vibrance. 2nd row, 1st and 2nd pics are super horrible without sweetfx. with sweetfx both are perfect. if you don't want this big changes, i suggest you to check out K-putt'e preset. subtle changes, but very good preset. my favorite, and the one i use

I just have few questions. I'm using the 1.4b version, i'd like to try the new 2.1 version but i have to disinstall old version first? To do So, i have to cancel sweetfx folder too, or only the files you indicate in your guide? Thanks ;)

Yes I know, but MasterEffect does not work with RadeonPro filters and the game don't even start, so I have to use SweetFX, cause I like those RadeonPro filters.

Where can I get the 2.1 settings? Are they on nexus mods? BTW great preset. You are number 1 followed very closely by Natral colors of Gia ( they are just a tad to dark for my taste but great with natural looking colors).

renk23
29 May 20:31 CEST

I put the 2.1 preset on SweetFX 2.0 + reshade and still looks great. without FPS drops. I don't know why. Now I finally gave up of 1.4A version.

Sorry my bad english :/

29 May 19:11 CEST

In this installation guide you say some would have to download the preset and replace the old one and on Nexus you we do not have to download anything more.....what is the right one?

rainynguyen
29 May 04:10 CEST

Hi all :)

v2.0 was added bloom + SMAA, you can turn them off to get better frame rate ( esp bloom).

@Negru08: Decrease #define sharp_strength in sweetFX_settings.cfg (open with notepad)

negru08
29 May 03:41 CEST

Damn 2.0 does look amazing but I wonder what caues my GPU to go from 50-70 normal GPU utilization to around 70-90 with this on? Also is there anyway to just turn down sharpening just a bit. With this preset its to high and does cause artifacts and like static freckles in geralts Armour and face.

Other then that damn impressive. When my SLI gets here I wont have to worry to much about the graphic hit.

Side note: ITs a little dark but not horribly.

megatonante
28 May 23:52 CEST

Sorry for the second post, but why is the fps impact 5-10 fps? Maybe due to some complex form of antialiasing?

2.0 looks pretty good, getting some weird artifacts though.. the FPS is pretty huge compared to 1.4 :/ I can't afford to lose 10 FPS so I'm gonna have to say pass to this until the issue is fixed. (Did turn bloom off)

Dapix97
28 May 14:14 CEST

just tryed the 2.0.....really good, but i don't want to lose 10 fps just for a post-processing effect......
i'm sorry man but this sucks

do you really lose 5-10 fps with this version? why is that?

@Osoito: Uninstall V1.4 before using v2.0 :). Download 2.0 on nexus then extract to ...\The Witcher 3\bin\x64, that's all

@EscapistsHarmony: i see, it looks terrible, don't know why. You can try my v2.0.

EscapistsHarmony
28 May 11:47 CEST

@rainynguyen: done. Monitor has no blue tint, I just removed some red one. But the problem with too dark zones of ambient occlusion remains. I tried to adjust brightness and contrast during calibration and in game settings. There was no difference( I don't say the issue considered the nights. There are pitch black AO zones even during daytime.

@Sleepy_dude: very nice shots <3, esp 3rd pic.
@EscapistsHarmony: I think you should re- calibrate your monitor :), use this site: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/. With my Preset, the nights are brighter than Vanilla :v

Hi! Would like to add some critics)
1) 1.4 A version has pitch black zones esp in interiors, but also in open areas too. Many details disappear.

Attention Windows 8.1 Users: If you are having crashing at startup running 1.4, follow these steps:

1. Backup dxgi.dll from x64 folder
2. Rename reshade32.dll to dxgi.dll
3. Open your new version of SweetFX_Settings.txt using Notepad++
4. Click Encodings -> Covert to ANSI. Save.
5. Launch Game.

After the official Witcher 3 patch yesterday the default textures are sharper so now with your preset the textures are far too sharp. I turned down texture detail in the video settings which helped, but I hope you address this in your next version. Amazing work so far, the game looks fantastic with your preset and is FAR more fun.

rainynguyen
23 May 12:45 CEST

@crimsonidol: <3, Film grain is great effect for TW3 :D.

@Laurent:
The compiler only understands ANSI format, maybe your " sweetFX_settings.txt" file was saved in UTF-8 format. Using Notepad++ to convert to ANSI :D

Greetings Rain. I absolutely love your presets. Been rocking gta5 preset for a while now and it changed the whole game for me. As for this game, its brilliant as well. Now, as a fan, I would love to ask you if you can add slight vibrance (more red, less blue tint) to your preset. I like the original game color, but urs add an enhanced feel to it. So a lil more red would be much appreciated. Kind regards

rainynguyen
23 May 04:06 CEST

Thank all :)

@Hagerino + megatonante: yeah, i created v1.3 at night. v1.4 will be better so far.

@SteXmaN: stay calm, maybe today :)

@Nozi87: Oh yeah, great video, can i use it on Description? :)

@rainynguyen ETA for 1.4 ?

Amazing work o7

megatonante
22 May 22:29 CEST

@Hagerino maybe you are right. I installed this preset today, when it was daytime, and I had to raise the brightness parameter mentioned in the description by 50 because I felt the shadow where too dark. Now is night time, and when in the game is morning or noon the grass and the cities are almost TOO bright.

danteafk
22 May 21:07 CEST

this is the best setting out there for witcher3.

hagerino
22 May 20:23 CEST

Hi,
i'm using your preset now. Shadows were to dark for me so i made them brighter. Did you create the preset at night? Since Pupils dilate at night the perception is different as playing in at daylight. So optimally we would need 2 presets, one for playing at night and one for daytime.

rainynguyen
22 May 20:04 CEST

@megatonante:

It's easy to say but really really hard to do it :((.
BUT.........a good news for you all: i'm working so hard to release v1.4 - giant improvement ( it will also fix your issue :) )

@Billtac:

This is just my suggestion to get the better performance + quality, you can choose whatever you like.

Sharpening is an option in OPTION => VIDEO=> POSTPROCESSING.

Turn In-game AA OFF if you'r using FXAA in Nvidia Control Panel. It's useless and you will lose 1-3 fps for nothing.

billtaco
22 May 18:38 CEST

By the way :
In game settings,
Sharpening means FXAA or similar effects ??
and What kind of AA in game Antialiasing : on
???
Thx dear master

billtaco
22 May 18:35 CEST

Dear master :
2. In-Game Setting:
+ Motion Blur: Off
+ BLur: Off
+ Sharpening: Off ( already turn it on in SweetFX )
+ Antialiasing: No ( "Yes" if you'r using AMD VGA)

I have Nvidia card
if i turn on all the above settings in game esp about AA and sharpening
What will happen ?? interfering your settings or some of your effects will not show??

megatonante
22 May 17:00 CEST

I really like this preset, I have only one thing I don't like: colors that in the vanilla game were bright now are really washed out. For example red fonts, yellow indicators, green marks on the map. And colorful monsters too, I guess, like drowners.

Is there a way to preserve the way the scenery looks while keeping bright colors for everything else like monsters and stuff?

22 May 13:39 CEST

@rainynguyen Thanks, reinstalling vcredist worked for some odd reason, Looks fantastic (even better with ingame sharpness on low). And yeah other SweetFX work for me ^_^

rainynguyen
22 May 13:06 CEST

@jvlk: Yeah, gamma default

rainynguyen
22 May 13:05 CEST

@gannicus:

I prefer FXAA in NCP. And dont use in-game sharpening.

jvlk
22 May 12:55 CEST

I mean gamma

jvlk
22 May 12:54 CEST

@rainynguyen do you use the default gamme?
Or do you have it turned down in game?

gannicus
22 May 12:46 CEST

@Osoito as it says Temporal AA thought it was TXAA. So, it's better to disable it and activate FXAA or SMAA in SweetFX or Nvidia config? The grass looks very sharpened.

Osoito
22 May 12:40 CEST

@gannicus The Witcher 3 does not support TXAA. The Anti Aliasing is made by CDPR themselves. It is FXAA with a temporal thing in it and without any blur effect.

gannicus
22 May 12:15 CEST

Another question, is Nvidia's FXAA better than TW3's TXAA? Any comparative pic?

gannicus
22 May 12:14 CEST

@rainynguyen: Ok, but I didn't get it yday without SFX. However, your config looks nice but seems too dark and with too much contrast to me. Nice work though. I'll try to make it a little brighter and contrast-softer.

rainynguyen
22 May 12:07 CEST

@gannicus: This is game bug, i also get crash w/o sweetFX :D. Need to wait CDPR to fix it.

gannicus
22 May 12:03 CEST

I get a crash when I change to the desktop or another app and I come back, TW3 stops working.

rainynguyen
22 May 11:36 CEST

@Yka04: Hm....No one complains about this issue...Do you use any software like MSI- AB, Fraps in-game?

Yka04
22 May 10:45 CEST

Great! But activating this Sweetfx makes the game stutter. Any idea how to solve that?

You can use radonpro tool even on nvidia cards to run SweetFX with W3. Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X1CrTYyV7o&safe=active

Can you please upload to Mediafire? Thank you.

amiga4ever
22 May 08:02 CEST

I have 1.2 if someone want it but didn't notice any frame drop on 1.3
Definitely it's the best preset for W3 at the moment. Game looks outstanding!

rainynguyen
22 May 07:49 CEST

@Second:

Try reinstalling vcredist

And can you run other sweetFX?

@whatsamatteryou:

Strangely, i just did a small tweaks in 1.3, didn't add anything more. And i still get 0 fps loss.

What a pity! i don't backup the old version.

Hello rainynguyen,

Can you please upload v1.2 for me please? Maybe to mediafire? I was experiencing FPS loss with v1.3. Thank you.

Thanks :). I reduced the sharpening indeed.
@Hamisxa + USAS:

This function isn't working in TW3 :(. This is a bug.

@Charly60:

As i said in description: 0 fps loss :).

It looks amazing!

However the scroll-lock button doesn't seem to work. I'd like to compare it to the original.

22 May 00:45 CEST

hi man !! =) tell me if i can run this mod with my gtx 760 4g ? or this mod is just for ultra config ? because i turn my game with high settings but your mod seems amazing!!!! so tell me if it's possible =) ?

Hamisxa
21 May 23:48 CEST

Hey man could you add a enable/disable button like GTA V has? I mean you press "insert" (or whatever button you please) and it turns on/off the ReShade. It would help us notice the difference a lot, or just disable it in some moments.
Amazing job though, just this little thing would make it a lot better.

waddams
21 May 23:08 CEST

The best just got better! Nice job mate!

I still felt the black crush was a bit too much so I increased rgb lift settings from 0.97 to the default 1. This lessened the crush while still keeping your wonderful image richness intact. Also, maybe it is placebo but I swear the over sharpened look I thought before with trees isn't really there now.

I don't know if you meant to do so but your preset looks closer to the 2013 style than all those specific 2013 presets do. Those others just cranked up the blue making everything far too cool while yours has balanced colour and just looks incredible.

I feel you could call it a day and have the best preset out there with this but I welcome to see any more tweaking you do! :)

21 May 21:56 CEST

@rainynguyen It's awesome work man!
Unfortunately, I removed it, but the "Reshade 0.17.1.813 etc." is still displaying on top left corner :(

@Osoito: SMAA in SweetFX will make the image sharper, not blurry like FXAA.

I'm using FXAA in NCP and don't have any problems with it :D

Osoito
21 May 19:39 CEST

My Problem is that you say that the ingame Anti Aliasing is bad and with SMAA or FXAA on SweetFX the picture just gets blurry :D

You can use SMAA in SweetFX instead using FXAA in NCP, but you can lose some frame rate depend on your PC

@rainynguyen First of all great work with the Mod. I have one question: Do I really have to turn FXAA on because the whole picture is much more blurrier.

Hi, I love your preset, but just a question :

Is there a way to make shadows less solid dark ?

'Cause it's really hard to see sometimes ! (I don't know which option to change)

waddams
20 May 22:20 CEST

You and k-putt need to get together and make a super preset. Your image (especially trees from a distance) looks a bit too sharp to his regardless of me playing around with the lumasharpen setting and you seem to have a bit of black crush going on since the gamma slider shows no picture and I have noticed the crush in menus and in some shadows.

Other than those two things, I prefer your colours/saturation level and image richness to his.
