To Install

Just check the description notes for full setup. Anything else just let me know.
Hello, when I install this my fps dips down to like 20. Whereas without the Sweetfx, it's like 120fps! Any reason to why? It seems to be whatever Sweetfx preset I use, I cant get good framerates on this 8 year old game. I have everything set to ultra.
I tried turning off Physx, and only then I get good FPS again. Do I really have to pick between Physx and Sweetfx? Any way to have both? I have a Asus GTX 1080, there should be no issues.
I tried the NVIDIA OPTIMUS D3D9 DLL FIX but it didn't help.
And my desktop doesn't have a choice between GTX 1080 and Integrated Grahpics, so it's set to GPU by default.
Hi
Have you first tried the alternate enb's in the altd3d9 folder?
As well, update your geforce experience and driver. It seems the 1080's have been giving people some grief lately. Do a custom, clean install. Then enable the DSR and set the settings like I have them posted, make the line changes to the files as outlined.
Then try it again and if using any turbo or overclocking software disable that also.
Oh, and if you have not done so, update your dx9 to the final release in case it's a DX issue.
