About:
Enhanced default does what the name indicates, instead of completly revamping the style of the game it maintains the vanilla look and adds shadows, reflections, TAA and even godrays. It's very lightweight and highly customizable, so even the worst potato is able to run it. It has a fast and fancy profile setting in the ingame shader options aswell as download presets. Fast is quite alot faster than the Fancy preset, so if you need all the frames go for fast instead!
