📋 About This Mod
Don't settle for TRASH graphics on Mid-Range cards. Try this... Plus, it performs really well... RTX bros are safely welcome to try it too, you'll be surprised.
Description
I've spent a lotta time cooking these settings... This will get you SICK-ASS GRAPHICS without needing an RTX card. Or at least close to it... Hell, it might look better in some instances. I've gone and made the shading look REALLY good, and it's all Software RT. Plus! It runs really smoothly, at least on my GTX 1070. Yup, you heard it... If you have a good processor and SSD, it'll run even better for you. Use Xess for better performance, or Optiscaler.
Proper mod for CHADS who are willing to play the game at a lower but SMOOTH FPS without lookin at a fuckin FPS counter
(You can set shading, object details, materials, and sky to Epic. And almost everything else to High, except for textures and Effects. Set those to medium. I get 50 fps stable with that setup. You can go lower if you want more FPS. Motion blur has gotta be OFF)
I made a strange discovery y'all. The game runs smoother for me when I set Foliage to Epic, for whatever fuckin reason LOL. Give it a shot, ya never know. Plus, it looks A LOT better...
USEFUL launch commands for those who are STRUGGLING with performance: Add all of these to your ''Launch or Target'' options (-xgeshadercompile -nothreadtimeout -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -malloc=system). Don't copy the brackets lol... You'll get about 5 free FPS or more, fuck yeah lmfao. Worth it tho... Depends on your system.
UPDATE: The mod now has 2 versions: Standard and HD. The HD version runs really fuckin good for me (I really COOKED with that one) but I dunno about y'all. So, yeah, you can choose whichever fits your system best... HD version has been updated with better 3D spatial sound btw, so you can pinpoint enemies quicker & enjoy those storm sounds to the fullest. Run the screenshots BACKWARDS to see the HD version first. Enjoy y'all!! Leave your fuckin endorsements! lol.
UPDATE 2: The Ultimate HD version has been updated with a better reconstruction mode. Meaning it's gonna feel like playin at fuckin 2k or some shit, whilst playing at 1080p (which is my res). No more fuzziness... Performance remains the fuckin same, don't worry LOL.
UPDATE 3: Ultimate Edition HD 2. 0 is LIVE. I fuckin COOKED y'all. Enjoy... Get yourself my Reshade Preset too, looks crispy ASF.
UPDATE 4: The Standard aka Definitive Edition version is OLD, and designed for 1. 9. Still works in 2. 0, but not great. But PC/RIGS are different, so I'll leave it as an option for y'all...
Take a look at the lighting and those reflections in the SIRCA facility. That way you know this is NOT a PERFORMANCE-focused mod. Plus, it's running on a FUCKIN GTX lol:
