8. Navigate to "reshade-sahders" then click on whatever preset you want to try first
1. Experiment with presets. Theirs multiple for a reason, try them all then pick what looks best to you. They all have different aesthetics & performance costs.
2. Make sure to disable/lower driver level & in game sharpening if you have it on since sharpening exacerbates aliasing.
