Ah, the beauty of SweetFX. Alien: Isolation was a great looking game but let’s be honest here, it didn’t really ‘wow’ us. And then comes FlickR’s member ‘de:mo’ with these SweetFX screenshots that blew our minds. These images below show why we love SweetFX, and what gamers can achieve by using it. Enjoy!

I had a blast playing it but… the player still doesn’t cast shadows. This little omission never ceased to amaze me while I roamed the incredibly moody corridors of Sevastopol.
Thats one thing I always notice its really immersion breaking for me. Almost all FPS’s do it nowadays and i really wish they wouldnt.
Does sweetfx work on Windows 8.1 without radeonpro yet?
Don’t think so.
It has worked for awhile. You just need to download a special version like the “SweetFX Suite with eFX bundle”. There’s also a newer program that works called ReShade, which is going to be merged into SweetFX’s 2.0 release.
Thanks for the info.
Or use reshade with sweetfx 2.0, it has native win 8.1 x64 support, sorry for my english!
SweetFX Version 1.4 works perfectly fine with Windows 8.1 and RadeonPro (in fact, that’s the version we used in Dying Light)
Guess you didn’t read the comment.
Can you provide us a link to get the config file?
Gorgeous!
Good sharpness, but extra colors are unwanted in this particular game. Also shame that they made a xenomorph with these stupid extra knees, really kills that extra layer of scary humanlikeness from original movie, really really hate this detail.
No they do not.
download link? anyone?
John Papadopoulos! A link to the mod perhaps?
I hope I’m not the only one but I don’t like SweetFX at all…plain simple in any game. I don’t like the over-saturation and some other stuff.
Some pics are cool though but mostly because of the angles and such, the rest is the game itself…great textures and cool modelling plus the lighting.
Well it depends on the preset really. This one seems a bit overkill, but there are other, more subtle ones that look really good. This one, for example:

I actually agree. I tried a bunch of these configs out when everyone was doing them for Skyrim, but they usually only look good in extremely specific scenarios.
That’s quite common. For some reason people go for that same crap that TV default settings have. Excessive contrast and oversaturation or massive sharpening.
It’s not hard to cook your own settings though, I usually use SweetFX just for SMAA if a game does not provide it.
Many SweetFX settings only look good in screenshots and are an erratic mess of poor depth of field and other effects when actually playing.
Nothing special
