Witcher 3 Sweetfx roundup?

solarp · 22 May 2015 at 11:04

Nothing outstanding, just a 2500, 280 and 16gb. A mixture of high/ultra (hairworks off obviously) but not tested FPS since the patch, but getting at a guess an average of 40-55 in the most open areas/interiors, 30-35 in battles and towns (really pleased as it goes!)

Will give this a go in that case, I love the high contrast colours at times but it does drown out all others when you're heading towards a sunset.

Thanks!

Not sure what it is like though, does not seem to be as overly sharp as the others posted looking at the screenshots.

That's because I elected not to enable lumasharpen in my preset as TW3 already employs a post-process sharpening filter. Seemed a bit unnecessary to double up.

BTW I just tried your link again and it is asking for a decryption key to download it.

Ah yeah sorry m8, got yours again now, it is matson's one that needs a key now for some reason.

Could someone post some side by side comparison shots, can't see the difference.

Video of here it in action, 1440p quality

Yeah this is the one ive ended up using, i like thats it's just enough to get rid of the candy colours but but not completely washed out like the first one i was using.

Witcher1979 · 23 May 2015 at 18:56

Found another one I have been messing with, this one also has a working toggle on/off in game from a older version so taking shots is easier and its easier to tell the difference right away. Turn in game sharpness off. First picture is off and rest are on:

More off first then on:

Will be using this all the way through my first playthrough, looks amazing in game.

Witcher1979 · 23 May 2015 at 19:35

SS and cinefx both on:

Clairvoyant · 24 May 2015 at 08:22

This is a pain, I have used the latest, the old and the one I have working on GTAV. But i cant get it to toggle on and off on Witcher.

Now it just sits on a Black screen loading. And I have to reset the PC to get rid of it. Arrrrgggghhhhhhh

I've tried all of the above Sweet FX settings and have found this one to be the best http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/3712/

Yeah looks nice, it is very close to the cinefx one tbh. Both look really good to me though.

EDIT: After doing the Nvidia tweaks listed I am thinking yours might have the edge.

EDIT 2: Nah I still prefer cinefx, the other one seems to get a bit bright in some places for me.

That one is WAYYYYY to sharp, have you turned off the games own sharpness setting?

Matson · 24 May 2015 at 22:32

Matson those shots look incredible, any performance hit? Ive just managed to get rock solid 60fps so don't want to mess it up.

Is everything needed in the link you provided? or do I need to do something with the ini file too or is it all in there?

Matson · 24 May 2015 at 23:10

Its just the sweet fx in that link I provided which will change the colours and look ect. All the actual graphic changes like more grass and tree density higher quality shadows ect you need to edit in the ini file.

http://translate.google.com/transla...://www.gry-online.pl/S043.asp?ID=13706243&N=1

That's the ini settings that im using.
I wouldn't copy that completely though as some settings might have too much of a performance impact. The ones with Bolded text next to them you can change to what suits you. Obviously you don't want to copy his HUD settings ect across just the graphic changes. I got about a 10-12 fps loss when I used his config settings but it does look pretty amazing.

Cheers!, looks great.
