HZD G. A. I. A is a Reshade preset for Horizon Zero Dawn which will enhance the original look, with better sharpness, contrast and decreased warm tones. The performance impact should be minimal if you use it without RTGI. For those who want to use this feature I should say it can be very demanding, depending on the PC specs. Reshade resources used: Border, Curves, Fake HDR, LumaSharpen, LiftGammaGain, RTGI, Technicolor2, Tonemap and Vibrance.
