Preset has been updated.See bottom post titled "A" for new comparison picture
I would say i am most certainly one of those people who are super picky when it comes to audio and video quality. I have both my Home theater system and PC gaming system rooms fully tweaked and calibrated 110%. With that being said i was for the most part impressed with the graphics in NFS 2015. They are really good but i was really bugged by the green and yellow filters and the extreme dulling/ blur caused by TAA. Thus i had to find a way to bring out the awesome graphics underneath all that filter garbage. Researching brought me to reshade mediator which has been around for a bit but was "new to me". This tool is awesome and the creator deserves loads of credit and praise. I have been tweaking NFS 2015 with it for a good while now and have found a good setup / profile for it that works well for my taste and Dell U3014 monitor as of present day . I have the monitor running fully calibrated and my gt 780ti on 10 bpc and full color control is handle by my monitor. . Here is a before and after shot with my re shade mediator profile . Keep in mind it will look different on different monitors as no monitor is calibrated equally and uploading compresses the photo a bit as well. They are originally 2560x1600p png files so the are big and had to be reduce a bit to upload . I find with some color , contrast, brightness and sharping [ alot of sharpening to be exact as TAA really dulls the heck out of this game ] NFS 2015 really comes to life. I highly recommend downloading reshade mediator and taking the time to tweak as it can really bring this game to life. In each post the top pic is " the before" and the bottom is " the after " with reshade applied. Suggest saving each image to desktop and flipping between both to really see the difference. Thanks for looking.

Hello,
Can you please post what effects and settings you have used, maybe it will help some people that want to improve the graphics. Unfortunately for me, between the frustratingly long loading times, unskippable cinematics, catastrophic car control, to mention just a few, i found it just too disappointing to even bother, so i requested a refund. I've played almost all the games in the series and honestly this was one of the biggest disappointments, it seems they are just going from bad to worse with each release. It's the essence of what PC gaming has become, developers that couldn't care less what players want and only spew out s.h.i.t.t.y console ports for quick cash grabs!

"A"
05/26/2017 Update new version. I guess at this point I am feeling like i have got as much out of this preset as possible. So this is the final version.
Here is a desktop screen shot showing the game verses a real life unedited shot. Its as close as i could get it while maintaining a balance in the garage and in the entire map as far as color and extra goes.Thanks for looking and have fun.
