📋 About This Mod
This is a reshade preset I created for Watchdogs. It's an old game but I decided it's time to pay it a visit again.This preset will give you an enhanced Cinematic look (similar to RTGI) without destroying your framerate.
I've used only the shaders which are available at the time of installing reshade so installation is quite simple.
And by downloading this preset i would assume you already know how to use reshade. If not then you will have to look up some youtube videos on how to use reshade. Also, make sure to look up how to adjust depth buffer, it's very important if you want the shaders to work as intended.
I've provided a link to download reshade so check out the requirements pop-up.
The screenshots you see have been captured in ultra settings with DoF turned off and MSAA x2.
You can turn down some settings depending on your system.
I'm running an i5 8400 with a GTX 1070 and I'm getting mostly above 60fps with this preset.
Also, if you want more fps out of your system then disable these settings in reshade (starting from most demanding) :
SSR (Uses software based Ray Tracing but I have optimized it for best performance)
The rest are not demanding at all
So disabling any one of the shaders may cause the preset to not look as intended.
Also, don't mess with the load order as that will also affect the look.
- Uses only the provided shaders by Reshade at the time of
installation (So no need to download any additional shaders)
- Performance friendly GI implementation to match the RTGI look (RTGI
is currently a paid shader so getting a similar look without it is a
- Optimized SSR (RayTraced) to look good without hogging performance
- Optimized AO for performance and quality
- DoF has also been optimized for best performance and made to look
comfortable for the eyes

it more realism
- Overall image has been significantly cleaned up and thus gives the
game a fresh look
