You won't find more optimized ReShade

Please desactivate the HDR, FXAA, Sun Rays (lens) and the DOF in game menu, and set the Brightness to 0%.

Use your video card panel for the textures filtering.

It is a ReShade who gives the game a Next-Gen rendering without making it lose its personality and very low cost on performances
It keeps the same colors and hue and add a New High Dynamic Range, New Anti-Aliasing, New Dynamic Deep of Field, adding Volumetric Lighting, Ambiante Occlusion, God Rays and a Shaders to reduce exposure of textures with white encruster.
Sometimes the DOF may slightly blur the pause menu and the HUD but it will be very little, it is the only compromise for a Dynamic DOF.
The ambient occlusion may be visible in the intro kinematics.

Compatible With "Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition".
