Elite Dangerous How to Use SweetFX: A Simple Guide for Enhanced Visuals

As a fan of Elite Dangerous, I'm sure you're always looking for ways to enhance your gaming experience. One way to do this is by using SweetFX, a powerful graphics mod that can give your game a more cinematic feel. In this article, we'll show you how to use SweetFX in Elite Dangerous and provide you with some tips on how to get the best possible visuals.

First things first, make sure you have a beefy PC if you want to run these graphics settings. The latest Reshade mod for Elite Dangerous is available at the top of this description page, so download and install it before moving on to the next step.

Once you've installed Reshade, close the installer and navigate to your desktop. You'll find two main files there: 'reshade-shaders' and 'SweetFX-Elite-Dangerous.preset'. Copy and paste these files into the reshade-shaders folder for a simple installation process.

As you start playing with SweetFX, you may notice that it darkens everything a little bit. To counteract this, you can raise your in-game gamma to brighten things up. Just remember that these effects can have a 10-15% FPS cost on RTX graphics cards, so performance may vary based on your PC specs.

This is a simple Reshade preset for Elite Dangerous created by the Reshade team, consisting of Crosire, CeeJay, Marty McFly, Thalixte, Ganossa/Hawk, Bacondither, Ioxa, Otis, Jose Negrete, and others. With this preset, you can enjoy a much richer graphical experience in your game.

So there you have it - a simple guide on how to use SweetFX in Elite Dangerous for enhanced visuals. Remember to download the Reshade mod from the link below before overwriting with my preset files, and don't forget to adjust your gamma settings if needed. Happy gaming!
