Witcher 3 Sweetfx roundup?

kinger8938 · 21 May 2015 at 22:01

Ive been following the main witcher 3 thread for a while and am really interested in trying out a sweetfx preset however a lot of this gets lost amongst all our posts so was wondering if someone in the know could just post the details we need to get this going?

Which profile is the one to go for etc? Keep seeing people asking the same thing in the main thread

If this is a bad idea, close the thread. Just think a few would find this helpful!

Thanks

This may be the one i saw and wanted to go for in the main thread

thanks will have a go in a minute, not used sweetfx before but need to get rid of the vanilla games orangey tint

Just trying it now

do i need to disable any graphics settings that may be covered by sweetfx or change anything in nvidia panal?

Here is the one I have been using.

download the sweet FX from here:

https://mega.co.nz/#!kJ0llLCK!yyw3ue...BGk8ahKNR71CqM

Follow the readme file for the instructions. Its pretty easy.

Go into the SweetFX_settings file and change the Lumasharpen to 0 instead of 1.
Turn off the sharpening feature in the game too as this just adds false sharpening and makes it look awful.

Turn off Chromatic Abberation in the options menu too in game.

Sharpness is probs a setting you may need to adjust with the games settings. I found all these sweetfx settings way to sharp. Vanilla for me is how I am playing after testing a few profiles out.

Matson · 22 May 2015 at 00:55

Yeah you need to turn Lumasharpen off in the sweet fx config. Its an awful thing to have on as it makes everything too sharp. Just change it to 0 instead of 1 in the sweet fx settings.

kinger8938 · 22 May 2015 at 01:01

Thanks guys will try a few

To switch between 2 profiles is it just a case of swapping out the sweetfx file?

Also are there any settings i should adjust in nvidia control panel? New to nvidia so thats all at stock settings atm

This is the one I'm using, makes everything look nice and moody.

This one is far to sharp for my eyes, to much strain.

Yeah I just went ahead and downloaded the most popular one (which happens to be the one posted above) and it looks pretty nice. I personally like a bit of sharpening as it makes the foliage look a lot better in my eyes, other wise it just all blends in together.

How do we take screenshots on GoG? Want to have a side by side look as not being able to switch during gameplay makes it a bit hard to tell which i prefer :3

GoG is still very much in beta and this feature is not complete yet, although sweetfx takes screenshots which I believe the button is prt scrn and they should save to the witcher3.exe folder. Use MSi afterburner for non sweetfx screenshots, it will be better when they fix reshade so the toggle sweetfx on/off button works again ingame, because even if you turn the preset off in game you can still take screenshots.

I didn't try this one when I was looking for a sweetfx config because I didn't like how it looked in the screenshots, but I tried it after seeing this post and I love it

I'm not sure about this, but I turned off sharpening in-game and sweetfx looks better now, in my opinion.

I am liking this so far, gets rid of the too orangey tint, makes interiors darker, nice.

Will running sweetfx have an impact on performance?

Born_2_Kill_83 · 22 May 2015 at 10:54

Not one little bit.

It does for me for a few fps if I run at the 60fps lock, but I'm running at the 30fps lock which I'm finding really smooth and stutter free, so at this, no, no impact.

So it depends on your rig and what you're running at.
