Thoughts? I tried this with FXAA pp injector, but my FPS took a huge hit. Im on an ATI card btw. Does anyone else use this mod, how is performance?

I believe the readme says that the lighting mod works better with nvidia. I have used it and it looks stunningly beautiful. Just use the default sharpening effects though because I think the game looks too... photoshopped with anything more sharpened.

I tried it with FXAA and I really really didn't like it. It didn't really make the game look any better =/

FXAA Alone makes the game look incredible. The Shaders didn't really do a good job of making the game look better..

I use the fxaa injector, feel no actual FPS drop because of it. and also feel no urge to try this.

However i didn't like any other peoples configs, so i configured fxaa injector on my own (hate how too much sharpness messes up icons on compass you see. so i reduced it and reduced the vignette.)

i've never tried running on fxaa tho. maybe i'll try that, thanks Mistress Rarity ^^ say hi to rainbow dash from me.

I ended up disabling this because it made me CTD much more frequently. I feel that if you have the FXAA injector, this is slight overkill.

Ok I installed this mod with the right fixes for ATI. FPS isnt a problem anymore, but i think the contrast or sharpening is too high. basically everything has a little fuzzy look to it

Same. Generally it looks less washed out than vanilla, but I don't like how it's harder to see in the day and even worse at night. The sharpening effect creates a severe aliasing effect on text, which kinda contradicts the purpose of FXAA, doesn't it?

Skyrim does not have HDR lighting?

I tried it alongside FXAA and it almost seemed to wash out the color that FXAA had brought out so I switched back to just FXAA.

Did you add the optional effects? There should be an option just to add the shaders without any color effects.
