Warning: This Preset requires at least a GTX 1660 Ti or RX5500XT Graphics Cards to get 60+ FPS at 1080p. Anything below this will have performance issues.

Equivalent Graphics Cards in terms of Ray Tracing
GTX 1660Ti = GTX 1070
RX5500XT = RX 590
Anything higher than this especially newer generation can handle Ray Tracing just fine.

v2.1 Changelog:
- Ray Tracing Count Toned Down a bit for "a little" better performance
- Warm Weather Tint is now removed
- Color Ambience is now relying more to Light Source
- Character Light Ambience will now look balanced at 100% Camera Light Slider In-game

FIRST TIME RESHADE USERS, READ THIS FIRST:
1. Make sure your PSO2 Client is not installed on Drive C (System Boot Drive where your Windows OS is located).
2. Make sure the pso2_bin folder and its entire content went under "Take Ownership" Privileges to avoid in-game problems.
3. Make sure you update, and launch PSO2 Client using PSO2 Tweaker from now on (original PSO2 Launcher will not launch if it detects Reshade).

Recommended Settings:
- (NVIDIA Inspector) Everything as default
- (GPU Control Panel) AA Transparency: 2x Supersampling
- (In-game) Camera Light intensity: 50-100% (Personally 50%)

My System Specs:
RYZEN 5 2600 (Stock)
16GB DDR4 CL16 3200MHz (XMP On)
ASUS PRIME PRO x370 (BIOS 5220)
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1660Ti 6GB GDDR6 192-bit AMP Edition
Adata SX8200PNP M.2 NVME 256GB (Boot)
Kingston SUV400 128GB SATA SSD (PSO2 Storage)
NVIDIA GameReady GPU Driver 442.19
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Build 1909

Umm.

Edit: Nevermind, i got it.

The colors are way too dark with Global Illumination and Color Correction on in ReShade. Are there any settings that I'm missing? I made sure to match the settings in NVidia Inspector to yours. Additionally, Global Illumination creates this huge halo around 2d icons, like target selection icons and parts of the craft menu.

I'll be honest, I'd rather have better color and 120+ FPS than pseudo ray-tracing with depth issues.

What performance hit should we expect with this?

More than running the actual game.
A 1070 will barely handle 1080p@60 for sure.

Yes, unfortunately - Pascal-based GPUs are suffering significant frame drops on this so anything lower than these GPUs will definitely suffer drops, I don't know but with GTX 1660Ti - I'm getting 70FPS at lobby if I unlock it. But I always prefer Eye Candy over Frames so I always lock my FPS to 60 since I am not a competitive player by nature.

This is just a starter pack to show you how the RT Shaders would work on PSO2. Its tailored around my PC system so its most definitely differ with the results of my settings as any Reshade preset out there.

I suggest you play around your settings to understand how things work.

Looks great!

Thank you very much for Tutorial.
If I want preset like this

set the Reflection ... Ambient occlusion (AO) ?
any idea?

Thank you as well for the Tutorial.

But I have to pass, because the performance hit is incredible. :( On my RX 560 I get less than 15fps in lobby with the effects turned on, while the graphics card goes into overdrive and reaches 80C. For reference, without ReShade I have steady 60fps at max settings with less than 60C in 12man mpas).
