This guide was created for the purpose of providing information for EVGA forum users when enhancing their PC games through various means. One program may not work with another, but apparently both SweetFX and ENB can be used if the "d3d9.dll" associated with ENB is changed to "d3d9_enb.dll" .

ReShade / SweetFX is a collection of post-processing shader effects for Direct3D8 through Direct3D11 or OpenGL 4.3 (or more recent version of OpenGL) games. 32 and 64-bit compatible. Download here: reshade.me/
sweetfxReShade has an autodetect feature when you use the program to open the games executable file (.exe).
An older version of
SweetFX 64-bit without ReShade is located here that you copy all the files over to the game folder you want to enhance that contains the games executable file (.exe) for starting the game:
http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4581604SweetFX_settings is one of the few files to copy over to the game folder, and is the only one you want to edit the values of. The top section labelled "Choose effects" allows the user to turn on and off the various effects using a 0 (off) or a 1 (on). After this section, each of the various effects has its own section with values to tweak to your liking, or copy over from a preset posted online. Save the file when you are done and start the game. The scroll lock key acts as a shortcut for enabling and disabling this program while in-game, but can be changed in the SweetFX_settings file you copy into the game folder.
Presets for games are located here, I recommend copying the values over manually due to presets containing various versions of SweetFX that may contain different settings to change:
