Greatly Improve Guild Wars 2 Graphics

[chripsy.1027]

The original game looks beautiful as it is. But I have tweaked the Nvidia Freestyle settings over the past few months and now I think it looks even better. The colours look richer, the textures are sharper and overall It makes it feel like a modern game instead of a 10-year-old one in my opinion.

subjective.

Cleared out the haze effect and intensified the colors. Reduced the shadows?

It would be a good setting for the visually impaired.

 

If someone is feeling emotionally grey or muddy, the color saturation might boost their mood.

better of using Reshade perhaps, much more modular.

on my main pc i often just use the photo mode from the monitor and everything looks beautiful. no software needed 🙂

I watched the video and I was confused. The game actually looks better when you click on "None" at your settings. When you click on your custom filter, everything becomes too blurry for my poor eyes.

I only use +30 sharpen and +20 vibrance as my settings, everything else is fine.

I agree that the “none” part of this video looks better. It’s all subjective

I got a new computer this weekend and it has a nvidia GPU. I need to check out this freestyle thing! Thank you, chripsy!

 

edit: Huzzah whaaat?! It's like a built in reshade a player can just fiddle around with on the fly. That's bonkers. 😯
