Reshade Advice
Many reshade presets I’ve used in the past reduced my FPS. If you notice stuttering while using this preset, cap the frames per second (FPS) of your in-game display to the closest value your system achieves. For example, if your game runs at 100 FPS on Ultra settings with your graphics card, and the mod introduces stuttering, set the refresh rate (Hz) and FPS cap in-game to 100.
