Hey.I have been enhancing The Witcher 3's graphics for maximum screenshot quality lately and I wanted to sure what I used for this.First,the mods:
HDReworked Project-Reworks the textures of many objects in the game to be higher quality,while not effecting performance,though it may have a effect on weaker PCs.I especially recommend this one,it looks great
Next Gen-candles-Improves the look of candles by adding more dept to them and greatly increasing the polycount
No Dirt Lens Effect-Removes the occasional dirt spots you will find on your screen,kind of like a dirty lens or glass.You will mostly notice it when looking at the sun.This mod is great if you like a clearer image
Super Turbo Lighting Mod-A very nice visual mod which changes and improves lighting and particles on multiple ways,such as improving water reflections and adding some ambient occlusion
Secondly,the reshade preset I use:
STLM Enhancement Reshade and Extreme Graphics Settings Tier-A very nice quality reshade preset which improves on the Super Turbo Lighting Mod with features such as darker nights,colorcorrection and improved bloom+sharpening.Be sure to take the full version,and if your rig can handle it,the optional extreme graphics tier file as well
Note:If you have some great fps issues with a AMD GPU while using hairworks,make sure to download the latest drivers,Radeon Crimson Edition 16.3.Then right click on your desktop and select
AMD Radeon Settings.Go to the Gaming tab and select The Witcher 3.If it's not there,click on add on the top right and select Browse.Then go to your Witcher 3 folder and select your witcher3.exe,which can be found in your The Witcher 3\bin\x64 folder.After you selected The Witcher 3 in your gaming tab click on Tessellation Mode and select Override application settings.Then click on Maximum Tessellation Level and set it to 16x.This will make your hair/fur look somewhat worse,but it does improve framerate.I personally gained 10fps in some areas
That is all,have a nice day
