"If SweetFX was a game then ReShade would be the engine that it ran on"
*Works great for streaming compared with others
*NOTE:
1.This screenshots are(from left to right: modded to vanilla) taken with an ancient PC where graphic settings are automatically downgraded and it may not reflect the real quality of what this "mod" can do. I also used Gerula Graphics Enhancement MOD and all this may different from monitor to monitor or due to video card settings. Btw, I’m waiting for your pictures of those with the NASA computers 😀
2. Gerula Graphics Enhancement MOD it’s optional
3. This is not a mod, it’s similar to GEM "mod"!
