How to improve Deux Ex: Human revolution visuals

23 September 2011

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a good looking game, but there is always a little room for improvement, especially when it comes to PC gaming.

Enter the ENBSeries graphics mod add-on which gives the game an extra coat of visual awesomeness, toning down its distinct gold filter, enriching colours and adding some extra special lighting and shadow effects.

Everything looks just a little slicker and smoother with the mod installed, but of course, your graphics card will hate you for it.

Therefore, installing it is only recommended for those with fairly beefy gaming rigs. Also, the mod is developed for Nvidia cards only, so don’t even think about it if you’re running an AMD GPU.

If you do have an Nvidia graphics card and some spare graphical grunt to throw around then you can grab the tiny 150kb file from here. Simply download and unzip the file into the directory that holds your Deus Ex: Human Revolution .exe file, and presto.

Since we’re all rocking AMD graphics cards here at the MyGaming offices, we couldn’t try the mod out for ourselves, but these screenshots posted by PC Gamer tell the story.

If anything, things look a little sharper, and without the game’s trademark “golden lens”, also affectionately referred to as the “piss lens”, it loses a lot of the visual identity it is known for.
