*** Grand Theft Auto IV - MODS & TWEAKS ***

One of the best things about an ENB is the fact it can force SMAA on an AMD card, somehow. I use SMAA in Skyrim, with absolutely no alternate form of AA (not CCC-forced, nor standard MSAA or FXAA via graphic settings) and the aliasing is none existent!

Makes me wanna go green just to be able to force it into everything.

You could force SMAA on any card with an injector before?
 
Found out how to enable dof correctly in the enb and also balanced the adaptation settings perfectly now... Before lights were blown on signs etc...

Looks way better now, will make a new zip if you guys want to try.

Edit: This is what it's now looking like, this is with no custom textures and with a stock car...

It's on and off, sometimes I don't see it for ages and sometimes it's popping up in two different directions.

I'll put the zip together tomorrow there are still a few kinks to work out and I have to figure out exactly what to put in the package.

EDIT: So, I was always watching videos on youtube thinking wow some of that looks almost real but could not seem to get there myself. Now I'm getting that feeling with my new settings:








Better city textures installed now too.

looking good mate, just had to download gta again messed up my damn directory, you on EFLC? 1070? , and what texture packs do you use :)
 
Cool thanks for that mate much appreciated! 7gb wow!

How have you found tweaking the enb mate? have you found it quite easy? I have been looking through the enb.ini from the latest icehancer but im still working out exactly what each setting does and how it impacts game performance

Very helpful for figuring out what to change, you can also change things in the enbeffect.fx

You can also tweak visualsettings.dat which has a bunch of minor world related stuff like car lights and traffic lights, I have lowered the intensity of car tail lights and traffic lights with it so they are not massively bright on the road anymore.

Performance wise I have found that my FPS is not affected much by AA, AO, Bloom and high quality DOF, in fact, with those options enabled my FPS feels more stable. Some of it is a bit random though, previously when I was tweaking I was dropping as low as 15fps but at the moment I'm not dropping that low at all with more effects.

That said, I have spend many, many hours tweaking, some of it is trial and error, the best way to tweak is to set CyclicConfigReading to true then you can alt tab out to config files and change them and it will reflect in the game straight away but make sure to turn it off when done as it adds a stutter every 3 seconds or so.

Can someone tell me which is the best pack mod, with card textures bla bla all together, I mean, I don't want to install 10 different mods, it's ok with 2 or 3 I'd say...

Really thanks.
