Hey, I'm getting some weird pixels on shadows with this Preset on. Anyway to fix this? I'm playing with everything on Ultra + Nvidia DLSS on (with the fix here on nexusmods) Edit: turning off DLSS in favor for NLAA changed nothing. TAA low / TAA High, make it only worse
Thats odd? I'll be blunt and say that I have no clue what might be causing this? Have you tried disabling individual effects to find the source of the problem? I would guess that it would be the Delc_Sharpen as that sharpens things and may be the culprit?
I have to agree with you. I did add the Clarity.fx filter to mine and set it to 0.200 strength. Lowered the colourfulness to 0.10. Looks very nice now for my preference.
While the fog in the can be abit much at times, it sure as hell looks very nice in creating a harry potter'esque atmosphere. Love the immersion that the fog offers. The other day i was doing a mission and a "fog storm" for a better lack of the words rolled in, it was honestly so cool running around it.
Some misinformation needs correcting here. Reshade hits performance regardless of the options you tick due to it hooking into the render process.
Thoroughly tested with a 13900K and 3080 12GB
As soon as reshade is enabled by ticking one of the options you will drop 10-20% FPS if you have for example 100 FPS you will be at 80-90 at best after adjustments.
hm, Thats odd I get no performance hit? If there is it should only be a MAYBE 1 fps difference as all I did was increase the saturation and got rid of the ugly gray filter over the game. But I will make sure to get rid of the No Performance hit from from the title if you seem to get a fps drop (:
It's not odd, it's well known and is far more than 1 fps difference unless you're running at 10 fps before enabling Reshade.
Even if this is due to running 4K and your testing is on 1080p there would still be around 5 FPS lost if running at 100 FPS 1080p so "no performance hit" is just inaccurate
I did some testing myself, and I have noticed I get around a 1-3 fps drop ( its kind of hard to tell because hogwarts is poorly optimized lol ) But, yes I admit I should not have put no performance hit in the title, though I do not seem to be getting a a 10-20% fps decrease, I am also on a 2560x1440 monitor so please show some screenshots of your performance hit because like I said I'm not getting a 10-20% drop /:
edit: I just realized you cant really see the tiny fps text on the top right lol
The first image ( no reshade ) the fps is 42
The second image ( with my ReShade ) the fps is 40
People also can't see what options you have ticked due to the immensely low resolution screenshot, but it looks like a lot. At what you claim is 2560x1440 instead of 3840x2160 there's no way you would have just a 2 FPS difference.
I'll leave the VIDEOS that actually show the difference from Reshade on vs Reshade off in your inbox and let people believe what they want to believe. They will see the FPS drop when they use Reshade themselves so it's fine. I prefer to be honest with people in my comparisons :)
There is currently a specific problem between reshade and hogwarts legacy, regarding depth buffer mostly - reshade developer will address it on the next version.
Most reshade that do not utilise any raytracing do not cost any performance loss, or at worse 1-3 fps. However, this depends on people machines, specs, drivers etc...
People believe what is true, reshade is usually an almost performance cost free enhancement, though result may vary with the aforementioned, and specifically on Hogwarts legacy since there is a specific depth buffer conflict.
i can confirm , it is true about the 20 fps drop ,even when there is zero effects turned on . just having reshade installed will drop 20 fps on certain setups . my setup is 13900k , 4090 , 64 gigs @6000mhz , and i still go from 120fps to 90fps just having it installed with no effects turned on . and another issue im having is it constantly crashes with reshade installed , not sure why
I don't even use Raytracing in Hogwarts Legacy as there is no difference, especially when using Reshade, and without RT you have 2-3x more FPS.
The fact remains that there is no "No performance hit" reshade presets as using ANY option in Reshade as thoroughly tested in my YT videos and as others have mentioned WILL reduce your FPS.
I've used Reshade since Skyrim released so I am well versed in how it may or may not affect a game, in Hogwarts there is a VERY noticeable drop in FPS with ANY option ticked. Although I don't believe the person above me saying that just installing Reshade reduces their FPS as again, I have tested Reshade in Hogwarts Legacy thoroughly at 4K including different in-game settings and varying Reshade options.
An example of options tested - Ambient Lighting, Quint_Bloom, Clarity, Curves, Quint_Sharp, Levels. Even using LUT for external colour mapping which changes nothing visually in-game will impact FPS by upto 20% by turning it on by itself.
My system is also stable and doesn't crash with Reshade running as one has mentioned above, it just takes a hit in Hogwarts when using Reshade of 10-20% (if you lower some settings in-game you can gain 10% of the lost FPS back with no visual loss)
Yep this is correct. Performance will take a hit with Reshade even without any of the settings used. Games i often play it would eat from 5 to 10 fps just by enabling empty Reshade
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I noticed that aswell after play testing, though not as bad of a fps drop for me. I will probably optimize it by simply getting rid of it because I feel like the cons outweight the pros. I also am adding slight changes to the ReShade ( very subtle ) and I will be posting it shortly

Really brings out the colors, great job!
