WARNING******************
This is a very GPU intensive Preset. It probably won't work properly on anything less powerful than a GTX 1060.
If you have trouble running it, you could try disabling debanding, DOF, Bilateral Filter, and or
Clarity to get a less visually intense but more performance friendly version of the Preset.
*Note At the moment 4k resolution is nearly impossible with this preset unless your gaming rig is an absolute SLI 2017 beast.
