    How do you get it?

    the link in the description takes you to “ReshadeTV_ACC”.

    I've found the reshades that look good on YT don't look good on my screens, I will try this one though as it looks good.

    I only see two links - one to a youtube channel and the other to the preset that @steelreserv mentioned - ReShadeTV ACC.ini

    TBH, doesn't look that great to me - just looks overly desaturated. Presume when OP says it is photorealistic he means it looked like IRL. If so, I disagree - Brands on a sunny day does not look like that. But if he means it looks like a badly Lightroomed photo - he may have a point.

    That's just the file name. You need to rename it to reshade.ini anyways :)

    this looks good, but for my taste it is maybe just a little bit too strong (judging by the video).
    i've never used reshade before. can i apply such a preset also with reduced effect? for example this LUT but only 90% "strengths"?

    People have the habit of mistaking realism for what they see on TV/video. For most of us our only experience of what it looks like to be onboard a race car is the image from a gopro etc. Our brains associate broadcast quality with reality. A lot of these reshade presets are just attempting to recreate that look. Again that's why when we see videos like boosted media we think "oh that looks so much more realistic". Really what you should do is just go sit in a car for a few minutes and then try to recreate that.

    Reshade is great though and it's incredibly straightforward to use. You're better off just starting from scratch and dialing in a profile to your specific tastes. Or use a preset whatever, it's all personal preference. For me vanilla AMS 2 it a little oversaturated at times, but overall I think the way the atmosphere affects lighting conditions at different times of day/year is pretty impressive.

    edit: spelling

    Uninstalled all reshade for AMS2, doesnt look at all good on my screens. nVidia sharpening is all it needs imo.

    I do use Reshade in AMS2, this one:
    Reshade.ini better colors AMS 2
    All it does is shuffle around the colours a bit. I guess it looks nicer on my screens, but honestly I probably wouldn't notice if it just vanished from my folders :D

    (And i Just saw that you even rated and reviewed it, so nothing new here for you :p)

    That's in the nVidia Control Panel? What values are you using for AMS2?

    Completely as by default, I think it's .50 sharpening and .17 film grain. All I've done is tick on to activate it in the program specific section (so not global) and left the default numbers. Looks great.

    Is there something comparable for AMD based graphic cards? What settings can help to achieve similar results?
