Reshade ?

i know nothing about reshade, and the things i have googled
made no sense to me.
AMD Ryzen 5 1400quad core. 3.20GHZ.
16GB ram 64bit.
my question is how much if anything will it make.
Is it easy to use, as i am not to good messing with a PC,
and do not want to mess stuff up.
Cheers.

You missed the important bit:
What is your graphics card and monitor/resolution?
Reshade is a software graphics modifier, so reversible if you don't like the effect.

stupidly i did not think of those, graphics card is geforce GTX 1660 6GB.
Resolution 1080 1920.
See what i mean about not be too good.

Nothing wrong with a GTX1660, I have a GTX1060 6gb and it runs ETS2 and ATS @ 1920x1200 at a steady 60fps, most settings on high.
What are you wanting from ReShade that you aren't getting from your current GFX set-up?
You'll never get any higher resolution/fps/anti-aliasing from software fixes, they can make it look better/different/cinematic, if that is what is wanted.
Nvidia can do all sorts of post-process filtering without extra software to soak up CPU and GPU cycles, have you tried any adjustments to those settings? I use some of them and I don't see any big hits to performance for the improvements to the GFX.
Might be worth a try before going to ReShade. Again, they are all reversible.

Good morning, mojo_musica.
That is the sort of advice i was hopping for. As i said
i do not really know the differnce between these sort of things.
I did not know what to except form Reshade, if it was worth using, or not.
I am happy with the way ETS looks but thought it may be worth a try.
Thank you again.

I used ReShade before 1.41. When SCS introduced the new light system made ReShade obsolete.

As mojo said, not performance improvement, just a hint of eye-candy back then.

Hi Goose_Few.
I did a little reading after what mojo_musica said.
Glad i did not install it, it loks very hard to unistall if you
do not like it.
So all worked out well.

TBH, I have not tried uninstalling it, just turned Off the 2 effects I used. All I get now is a little banner once I launch the game, my mind just ignore it.

Great that you found good advice here.
