DOF looks meh, perhaps because you're sharpening the DOF-blur.

What kind of performance impact does that list of shaders get you?

It looks overdone in screenshots and behaves badly in motion. The whole point of rt and global illumination is the ability of light sources not visible to camera to be reflected and cast light/shadow.

What is the Clarity shader doing exactly? It is rather subtle but makes everything look better, I'm using it for most games now.
Performance impact is pretty high so it must be a rather complex algo

According to Marty McFly: Clarity is a local contrast filter, makes the screen look like these HDR photos.
Source looks rather complex: https://github.com/crosire/reshade-shaders/blob/master/Shaders/Clarity.fx so yeah no wonder it's pretty demanding.
Maybe someone else can elaborate about the technical details, the only thing i get from this is it applies a mask and blends it to the final image for the effect.

In-game it looks like it does some kind of tonemapping to bring out more details and applies a light sharpening filter on top.

That's the mask and yes there is a luma sharpening pass in the shader from what i can see.

How good is the experimental dx12 support? I'm currently trying to run Rise of the Tomb Raider Dx12 mode with Reshade 4.3, it loads up the Reshade UI but then it fails to compile the shaders (d3dcompile: invalid flags specified)
I wonder if it simply doesn't work or if I forgot to change a setting or edit a file.

hmmmmm.

it should work. even with depth buffer..

Quote:

Yeahhh ! Super good news :cheer: Oddly enough, on my rig, depth buffer works perfectly for Shadow Of the Tomb Raider.
I removed the checkbox for enabling the "Copy depth before clearing mode", so can you check this line in the Reshade.ini:
[DX12_BUFFER_DETECTION]
DepthBufferRetrievalMode=0

This parameter must be set to 0 in order for the depth buffer detection to work (it is a WIP version, so everything is not already in place).

That was it. It works now.

dx12 games.
DX12 Games Tested with AMD RX 580 working
1. Strange Brigade DX12 mode. Depth Working
2. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided DX12. Depth Working
3. Warhammer: Vermintide 2 DX12. Depth Working
4. RE 2 remake DX12. Depth Working
5. Shadow of the TombRaider DX12. Depth Working


Did you try an modified DLL?

Here is a new dll for depth buffer detection with directX12:

Should work now in Metro Exodus and Shadow Of The Tomb Raider (and maybe other games) Smile


taken from here:
https://reshade.me/forum/general-discussion/4083-depth-buffer-detection-modification?start=940


If that does not help, you might look trough the postings from "thalixte", he does the modified dx12, etc DLL for depth buffer..

Changelog

4.5.0:

Rework depth buffer detection code for all APIs again (They are now more similar, including more options for OpenGL)
Switched to using SPIR-V for shaders in OpenGL 4.6 for better performance (this needs recent drivers to work correctly)
Added UI widgets for preprocessor definitions to variable list
Added compiler error when passing a r-value to an out parameter of a function
Added compiler error when pass is missing shader functions
Added shader signature verification to effect compiler
Added support for assignment chains to ReShade FX (e.g. "a = b = c = 0;")
Added adjustment buttons to combo box widget and label to radio button list
Added option to show only specific color components in texture preview
Added context menu to technique list to edit included files in addition to the main source file
Added support for texture pooling via "pooled" annotation

texture MyTex1 < pooled = true; > { Width = 100; Height = 100; Format = RGBA8; };
texture MyTex2 < pooled = true; > { Width = 100; Height = 100; Format = RGBA8; };

ReShade will now attempt to re-use the same memory for textures with the same dimensions and format if the pooled annotation is set. This works across effect files too.
Added "ui_text" annotation for uniform variables to display custom text above the variable widget (see screenshot above)

uniform float test < ui_text = "This is text that will be rendered above the widget in the variable list"; >;

Added support for GPU timings in Vulkan
Added environment variable to override path ReShade should load the next DLL from
You can now set "RESHADE_MODULE_PATH_OVERRIDE" to a directory for ReShade to load the next DLL, so you can chain ReShade with other injectors
Added OpenGL version information to log
Improved compiler error recovery for parsing errors in function parameter list and annotations
Improved Vulkan command buffer management (which improves performance)
Improved multi-threading of effect loading
Changed setup tool to install global Vulkan layer while it is open (fixes issues with RDR2)
Changed setup tool to use .NET framework 4.5 again for backwards compatibility
Changed texture preview to be hidden when effects are disabled
Changed COM reference counting behavior to better match COM requirements
Change default preset path to executable directory for Vulkan compatibility
Fixed memory leak in Vulkan (which worsened every frame)
Fixed depth buffer detection in Vulkan
Fixed setup tool not updating search paths to absolute paths in Vulkan
Fixed HLSL compiler error for variables that are named "Technique" or "Pass"
Fixed effect compile error with "discard" statement as last statement in a function with a return value
Fixed effect compiler error in pass definition not causing effect compile to fail
Fixed effect compiler error when multiple casts are chained in an expression
Fixed annotation assignments not supporting literal expressions (you can now write stuff like "< ui_min = 1 + 2; >")
Fixed effect compiler sometimes reporting duplicated syntax errors
Fixed crash in effect compiler when encountering an undeclared identifier in a shader pass state
Fixed empty preprocessor macros not being evaluated correctly
Fixed GLSL code generation for matrix indexing
Fixed GLSL code generation for vertex shaders with a return semantic
Fixed GLSL code generation for some component-wise operations
Fixed GLSL code generation for entry points with underscores in the name
Fixed GLSL code generation for boolean values in index expressions
Fixed GLSL code generation for arithmetic with matrices that are not floating point
Fixed D3D10/11 depth stencil view creation failing in some games (e.g. ArmA 3)
Fixed OpenGL depth texture creation failing for games using format "GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT" (e.g. Mugen 1.1)
Fixed OpenGL states not being restored during texture upload, which caused texture artifacts in some games
Fixed crash if "wglMakeCurrent" was called on an OpenGL context that was not hooked
Fixed access to textures in vertex shaders in D3D9 (limited to 4 bindings though)
Fixed "UseAspectRatioHeuristics" option not being stored in config file in D3D9
Fixed wrong color write mask when there is more than one render target in D3D9
Fixed Vulkan performance mode using wrong values
Fixed current depth stencil inheritance in D3D12 buffer detection
Fixed shared textures being deleted prematurely if a single effect is unloaded
Fixed preset switching always falling back to DLL directory for next preset
Fixed position of slider buttons
Fixed slider buttons being able to change value outside valid range due to floating-point precision errors
Fixed splash bar no longer appearing on reload after reloading a single effect
Fixed scaling up the font size causing cropping some buttons and the display of textures on the statistics page
Removed format filtering from depth buffer detection
Removed tutorial skip button for all but the first tutorial step

For some of the updates and changes a few of the shaders have also been updated for anyone using effects taking advantage of these improvements like shared texture resources and more. Smile

https://github.com/crosire/reshade-shaders

Recently this also extends to ReShade.fxh itself the main or controller shader "core" file so that's a good reason to update the shader files too.

https://github.com/crosire/reshade-shaders/commit/23526fdd380edae25019a0c1e6de9521672bd42e#diff-4233593bf560b9ef18a496b4f26c9314

Or just sorting it through via date and grabbing the newer stuff for any shaders used. Smile
https://github.com/crosire/reshade-shaders/tree/master/Shaders

And while they aren't quite up to date with the 4.5.3 changes it still has support for some of the "legacy" settings (For now.) so there's no need to manually edit shader files just yet and I do like to add in adaptive sharpening.

https://github.com/Fubaxiusz/fubax-shaders/tree/master/Shaders

FilmicAnamorphSharpen.fx is part of ReShade's shader repository but that's a older version, FilmicSharpen.fx is what I like using though which is the same but not dependent on depth though with this available distance and more control over sharpening avoids issues with uniform sharpening on on everything and over sharpening to some degree.
(I do find the default 60% too strong but then it's quite variable and personal how much one wants to dial this up as well even with 10% I do notice the occasional haloing and graininess or "whiteness" and other artifacts from over sharpening and others well 100% and still complaining about it looking blurry. Razz )



And smart sharpening.

https://github.com/BlueSkyDefender/Depth3D

https://github.com/BlueSkyDefender/Depth3D/tree/master/Shaders/Alternative%20Shaders/Image%20Enhancement

Demanding comparably with other shader effects, extensive options and very good results when set up though.

Incorporates modified versions of AMD's CAS and more which gives very extensive customization even if it makes setting it up a bit more complicated and if not being careful it can very easily be one of the second most demanding effects added trough ReShade just shy of expensive depth of field or ambient occlusion (IE MXAO.) type effects. Smile
(Also does depth buffer support same as the above shader which can be toggled on or off as supported and improves things but again it does require some tuning to get the best out of this.)


About it, there's other shaders and stuff but the base preset I use is fairly simple. Smile

ReShade.fxh and ReShade_UI.fxh

Second file here bridges compatibility somewhat for older ReShade 3.x builds and 4.x before 4.5 but changes to 4.5 will see some of that deprecated eventually and requiring a higher ReShade .dll version anyway though for now many shaders do require both of these FXH files. Smile

SMAA

Basic shader post-process AA, bit less "blurry" or "soft" than FXAA and a bit more costly but once configured for being a over the scene ("post process") after effect ("post" Razz ) it cleans up aliasing well although it should not be combined with in-game TAA as this can cause jitter and in newer games with tons of aliasing including types of aliasing this shader is starting to meet it's match and it's not able to do too much.
(Geometry, shader, specular, gamma, material and transparency aliasing and such though it does a good job even with modern games and changes to rendering for being comparably inexpensive.)


Deband

Causes a bit of blur but slightly offsets color banding via dithering and grain (Which can also be slightly noticeable.) though short of the game (And display hardware!) supporting full out deep color or 10-bit or higher well this is a good way to at least slightly reduce banding but not without some trade off.


Smart or Adaptive sharpen

Mostly depends on cost and performance and how demanding the game itself is already but yeah essentially just slightly sharpens the image from effects such as ReShade itself and some shaders or the game just having blurriness of it's own like the many cheap (Performance wise mainly.) temporal anti aliasing methods in custom game engines these days or even quality modes (IE UE4) which can still be blurry even with higher performance impact from the quality presets and a good reduction in aliasing. (Generally not used by the game itself outside of ini tweaking.)

Noise and other artifacts happens at higher values but it's down to user preference and tolerance though it can never really be as good as proper integrated in-game sharpening well if it's implemented well.
(Post-process so UI elements and everything else is affected, depth support can mitigate skybox sharpening and bright surfaces and more but only partially plus it adds to the effects overall performance cost.)

I've been tinkering a bit with these recent shaders, the raytracing-like ones are still bugged but they work surprisingly well on some of the older engines like id Tech 3, Source etc. that support all the effects without any slideshows.

Tried Jedi Outcast for instance, the image quality isn't optimal but the game benefits from the ambient occlusion and reflections (Quint RT Global Illumination, SSR, Bloom, Sharpen):

Yeah it needs a bit more info than what ReShade can do but there's some clever workarounds and the new 4.6.x releases also has some nice improvements plus upcoming fixes in 4.6.2 going by the latest Github commits.

I still mostly use it as a post-process AA set and forget single preset style utility but that's not going to last too long as the shader heavy and effects loaded scenes makes early FXAA, MLAA and SMAA and such attempts increasingly less effective so it's super-sampling and expensive cost on the GPU performance or temporal anti-aliasing which has it's drawbacks but can be somewhat countered by sharpening although as a full-screen post-process effect it does go on mostly everything even with newer modes like smart sharp and incorporating AMD's Contrast Adaptive Sharpen algorithm and upscaling sampler.


Marty and the shader effects from these can be really handy when set up correctly but depending on ReShade limits it can take some configuring to get it working reliably and getting good results from the effects. (There's a fair amount, just getting depth buffer reliable is becoming a challenge as well especially with ReShade disabling it for network activity and more games having online somethings in them.)

Certainly impressive to see what's possible even with these restrictions though and some improvements in ReShade itself and some shader workarounds for other restrictions. Smile

Hehe indeed, full compatibility with the advanced shaders is rare and rather tricky. More often than not they cause visible artifacts, halos, or interfere with HUDs/menus and inventory screens, without mentioning the performance impact which can be massive. Another problem is the fact that the effects obviously don't care about materials and treat everything equally leading to some awkward results Razz

ReShade 4.7 is out. Smile

Quote:

4.7.0:

Improved depth buffer detection in several D3D10, D3D11 and D3D12 games (like Bioshock Infinite, Subnautica and Titanfall 2)
Added hidden option to add new search path without opening directory selection dialog (press Alt key)
Added device and driver information to log for all APIs
Added global settings to force window mode and swap chain resolution in D3D

[APP]
ForceVSync=1
ForceWindowed=1
ForceResolution=800,600
Force10BitFormat=1

Fixed depth buffer being overwritten in some D3D9 games before it can be used in ReShade
Fixed mouse cursor stuck in the center of the screen in some applications (like Detroit: Become Human)
Fixed keyboard state getting stuck in some applications while menu is open
Fixed first effect in the list sometimes not receiving depth buffer
Fixed support for Civilization VI (because of missing ID3D12Device6 implementation)
Fixed crash in Vulkan games using "vkCreateRenderPass2" (like Hammerting)
Fixed crash when DXGI 1.2 is used on systems where render GPU is not attached to the output display (e.g. laptops)
Fixed crash if input object is destroyed in separate thread while a message is processed
Fixed calls to "IDXGISwapChain3::ResizeBuffers1" always failing with "DXGI_ERROR_INVALID_CALL" (like in Hitman 2)
Fixed screenshots in Vulkan sometimes not capturing effects
Fixed red and blue color channel being swapped in D3D9 screenshots when backbuffer format is 10-bit
Fixed mouse button state being reset every frame
Fixed uniform offset calculation for matrix arrays
Fixed SPIR-V code generation for uniform matrices
Fixed SPIR-V code generation for specialization constant arrays
Fixed half-pixel offset fix not being applied to struct output variables in HLSL code generation
Fixed font atlas texture being destroyed while still in use in D3D12 and Vulkan
Fixed incorrect handling of XBUTTON mouse events
Fixed crash when parsing vendor and device ID in OpenGL running under Remote Desktop
Removed memory copy of log and instead read it back from file when the "Log" tab is opened (to reduce RAM usage)


ReShade FX support equivalent to this version is part of FreeStyle in NVIDIA driver version 451.48.
