AMD Ultra-Sharp Reflections and Clean Skin - RX 9070 XT

AMD CLEAN & VIBRANT REFLECTIONS (RE Engine Optimized)

This preset is a visual optimization designed for high-end AMD hardware (tested on RX 9070 XT). It focuses on maximizing reflection clarity and color depth while maintaining the natural look of character skin textures.

THE GOAL

To achieve high-definition reflections and a vibrant, cinematic atmosphere by balancing native Ray Tracing with precise post-processing. It avoids the common "over-sharpened" look on faces and focuses on environmental detail.

REQUIRED SHADERS

• []CAS.fx: For intelligent sharpening that targets reflections and textures without adding noise to skin.[/]

  []Levels.fx: To provide deeper blacks and better contrast in dark environments.[/]

  []Colorfulness.fx: To enhance the game's palette and counteract the slight desaturation of RT.[/]

  []MagicHDR.fx: To add brilliance to light sources and reflections on wet surfaces for a true high-dynamic-range feel.[/]

RECOMMENDED IN-GAME SETTINGS

• []Ray Tracing: High[/]

  []Upscaling (FSR): Quality[/]

  []Frame Generation: On[/]

  []Motion Blur & DoF: Off[/]

  []Film Grain: Off[/]

TUNING NOTES

• []Reflections: By combining FSR Quality with CAS, reflections appear much sharper than the standard TAA output.[/]

  []Lighting: MagicHDR is used to make specular highlights (like light on water or metal) pop, providing a more "next-gen" look without altering the original art direction.[/]

  []Skin Tones: This setup was specifically tuned to avoid the "grainy" artifacts often seen with aggressive sharpening filters, ensuring characters still look realistic during cutscenes.[/]
