These are all the current releases for Nova LUT Classic 2. NGP_Original_DOF is the one used in my older videos. NGP_AI_DOF is a version designed for the RTX AI filters in the new Nvidia App - currently only works for Nvidia RTX cards. Only use one of these files. Follow the guide below to setup your game!
NOTE: This is a legacy mod. As of 2024/12/01 it is outmatched by DreamPunk and is no longer being updated. Use DreamPunk instead for photorealistic optimal visuals. Do not use them together.
Installation
NextGen Photorealistic ReShade:
NOTE: This is the version used in https://youtu.be/_toA8lErAHg?si=dIzNYGgBnWFmgNtD
1. Drag & Drop all the contents of the NGD_Photorealistic_LUT.zip file to the CyberPunk installation folder.
2. Install ReShade 6.3.3 from https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_6.3.3.exe and during the setup select the preset included in the "NGD_Photorealistic_ReShades.zip" file named "NextGenPhotorealistic.ini"
3. Start the game and press "Home" to open the ReShade overlay. Go to the add-ons tab and make sure the settings are the same as in the downloadable picture below then press "Reload" at the bottom.

NextGen Photorealistic AI ReShade:
NOTE: This is the version used in https://youtu.be/3xkvKWP8tdA?si=txryLgNkqAFmMn3E
1. Follow the exact instructions provided above for NextGen Photorealistic ReShade. Use the other ReShade preset in "NGD_Photorealistic_ReShades.zip" file named "NGP_AI.ini" during the ReShade installation.
2. Make sure you have the Nvidia Experience RTX Dynamic Vibrance Filter enabled. Use your prefered sharpening settings from the Nvidia panel before you start the game. Use a value for the Dynamic Vibrance that fits your personal preference. I use low values around 15-30.
3. Done!
Known Issues:
Disable the GOG overlay as it is reported by many users to cause crashes with ReShade. To do this open the GOG client and press the Cogwheel on the top left. Then Settings > Game features and uncheck the Overlay box at the bottom.
Frame Generation breaks ReShade & DOF. This is fixable by either setting a low fps cap (30-35) in the in-game settings, turning FG off or disabling DOF in the ReShade overlay by unchecking "Cinematic DOF".
