My primary goal was to make the game less aliased. I used the fxaa included in ReShade to its maximum efficiency, and used the DOF to add a bit of blur in this goal but also to add a kind of depth of field rather cool. Combine with Nvidia DSR, aliasing is greatly reduced.


INSTALLATION:
Extract the reshade-shaders folder and the files ReShade.ini, PureAmbiancePaybackReshade.ini and dxgi.dll in your Need for Speed Payback folder.



SHORTCUTS to enable / disable certain effects:

- NumPad 0 to enable / disable ReShade
- NumPad 1 RayTracing (shadow/light bounce)
- NumPad 2 RayTracing (Reflections)
- NumPad 3 Dof dynamique
- NumPad 4 Tint
- NumPad 5 Black sky for night (disable by default)
- NumPad 6 Vignetting
- NumPad 7 to open Reshade interface

- Printed screen to take a screen



If you want to modify my preset, press the 7 key to open the ReShade interface. At the very bottom, uncheck Performance. After that you will have access to all the values. Don't forget to recheck Performance after finishing to gain performance. This does not lower the graphical quality of ReShade. It optimizes it.



Dynamic DOF

If you want increase or decrease this effect, go to :
ADOF (clic on this name), and on the bottom modify :
Bokeh maximal blur size

The setting I chose is to play at 1080P but with Nvidia DSR at 1440P. If you are playing in 1080P without DSR, A value of 10 would be better. If you are playing in 4k, maybe a value of 20 would be better.But it's up to you to adjust according to your tastes.



RayTracing (Shadow/light bounce)

The values I have chosen are quite low. Not minimal, but rather weak. If you want to increase the effect, go to:
RTGlobalIllumination (clic on this name) and on the bottom modify :
Amount of Rays
Amount of steps per Ray

Be carreful RayTracing can become very very heavy in performance if you put it fully.The other parameters have little or no impact on performance.


ReShade Raytracing is not perfect. There is a little bug with the smoke and there is some kind of noise on the grass. But I think adding these features, even imperfect ones, greatly improves the image.



Adapt for your screen

If on your screen, the image is too dark or too bright, use the adjustments available in Curve. Just move the sliders in Curve. Do not add effect overlays if they are not needed.

For the tint, you can change the color and its opacity.



RayTracing cause bug in cinematic and certain menu, just press numpad 1 and 2 for disable RayTracing during cinematic.



THANKS To everyone who helped make ReShade what it is today.
