Zephyr Ultimate Realistic Reshade Preset
👋 Hello everyone!
I'm Zephyr, the author of this preset. This Reshade preset takes into account various types of graphics cards and processors, but there may be some performance requirements in certain areas of the game (especially Saint Denis at night, around 60fps). Therefore, it is **vital** to configure the in-game graphics settings correctly. You can refer to my **Zephyr Ultimate Graphics Settings** to get the most stable gaming experience possible.
**PLEASE NOTE**: This preset was adjusted based on a monitor I calibrated using the Spyder 5 Hardware Tools, so the final result may be slightly different from mine. My device is a Zephyrus G15 (2021) RTX 3070 Max-Q, 40GB RAM, GPU and processor overclocked to 4.8Ghz.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE
- **This Reshade only works with the DirectX API version of the game, Vulkan is not supported. **
- **The corresponding game version is 1311.23. **

✨ Default Features
Every detail of this preset has been finely tuned to eliminate the need for you to use any ray tracing presets (which are often very frame-consuming and can ruin a smooth gaming experience). Expected frame loss is between **5-13 frames**.
If you want to further improve performance, consider:
- Enable DLSS (can be installed through **SDK DLSS Swapper** or downloaded and installed from Nvidia official website).
- Use improved TAA (**New TAA (TAA fix)**).

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
