Best Performance Graphics mod 2016

the best graphics settings almost without any performance impact,please note that some maps are not made for good graphics. You might have seen other guides like this they're really long and boring to read unlike this guide that is actually very short and easy and that you have many options to try, and also forgive me for my bad English. ☺

Step 1

First what you wanna do is open up the Life Mod Settings and go to the basics sections
and activate the Color Modifier and use the [alt.balanced(enb-ish)] Preset


the rest of the settings are up to you,but do not activate the bloom now,if you want the graphics as good as the screenshots.

Step 2

go to your Post Processing and activate the Basic Vignette and Bokeh DOF,the Bokeh DOF might look a bit silly so you might wanna use someting else,the basic Vignette is optional.

Step 3

now this is the tricky part, go to your bloom on the post process tab
and edit the bloom, and copy these

number of passes = 30
darken amount = 0.28
multiply amount = 1.24
horizontal blur = 11.52
vertical blur = 11.09
color multiplier = 1.13
color :
R = 255
G = 85
B = 0


this settings might not look good on a few maps, and if it does, just adjust the settings by yourself

Conclusion

this guide is more like a suggestion more than well.. a guide not to mention that this is my first guide, and the fact that i actually found this method while messing around with the graphics settings.
you can adjust the settings however you like, but this is my favorite settings.
And thanks a lot to my friend Genocyte helped me discovered this decent trick, and thanks a lot you guys for reading this guide and I would really appreciate if you leave a like, comment, share this guide to your friends, and follow my account for more stuff like this.

It's ideal! Still using it , because there is no alternative for such quality settings like that!!

@AowsteoKorosif since i dont use Life Mod anymore, i still use the same Settings for the Bloom, but for the Color Modifier i made my own by raising up the Contrast just a little to replicate the ENB ish modifier from Life Mod, as for the Payday tint you can use Life Mod alongside with your own Color Modifier.
