What is this?
Mass FX, a SweetFX preset, is a rendering overhaul for Mass Effect, which as you have probably guessed, uses the SweetFX preset. I have recently got into the series, and when I tried to calibrate my gamma settings, I realised that no matter what, the colours in the game looked washed out. There was a ridiculous amount of ambient lighting, almost no bloom, a lack of anti-aliasing and many other problemsin which the details I will not bore you with.
What does it do?
Upon improving the colours, the main goal of Mass FX is:
- Lessening of ambient lighting
- Light source enhancement
- Deeper, darker shadows
- Nicer rendering
So, what's the cost? What is the performance hit?
If you have used a SweetFX preset before, you will know that the performance hit is absolutely minimal. At most a few FPS (3 - 5 frames) will be lost, but other than that, SweetFX is an incredibly performance friendly enhancement to almost any 3D rendered video game.
