Preset for Grand Theft Auto V
Created by wile_e_coyote
Added Dec. 30, 2018
Updated 30 Dec 15:12 CET
Shader used: ReShade
Preset description:
Tested on a BENQ 2730Z monitor at 1920x1200 Particularly good for dark monitors Download Reshade at https://reshade.me/ Install for DX10+ and select all shaders Copy to game folder, and remember to rename the TXT to INI and select from drop down menu in Reshade once in-game At first you may notice some black banding/halos around the text when you first start the game, this disappears when you are in-game with just slight amounts around menu items If you want to tweak any of the settings to your liking here's what i recommend:- Technicolor 2 - adjust 'saturation' in increments of 0.1 or 0.05 - larger values mean more color, lower mean less color Lumasharpen - adjust 'offset bias' in increments of 1, larger values mean sharper, lower mean less sharp DPX - adjust 'strength' in increments of 0.01, higher values mean more brightness in shadows whereas lower values lower darker tones High Pass Sharpen - either enable or disable edge highlights, such as fine outlines around text Gaussian Blur - this is inverted giving more depth to light and dark tones, this is the setting which causes the dark halos, disable only if are bothered by the anomalies, but may cause everything to look over-bright without it
