ReShade mod for Elden Ring
Elden ReShade - HDR FX Mod is a free-to-use game utility that lets you add the latest high dynamic (HDR) lighting effects to the action game Elden Ring. This mod, developed by Vanguard1776 and hosted by Nexus Mods, will let you appreciate the fantasy settings of the Lands Between — a world created by FromSoftware and Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin.
With the Elden ReShade - HDR FX Mod further elevating your Elden experience, you can expect a visual spectacle that’s worth the additional system requirements. It’s comparable to playing the God of War or Dark Souls III.
An easy to use visual mod
Unlike most mods, Elden ReShade - HDR FX Mod comes in relatively small file size. Furthermore, it’s easier to install. It doesn’t require third-party programs to run or any other software to help launch it. You simply place the mod files into the game directory. This is because the mod essentially rewrites in-game files to create improved lighting effects, improving the range between light and dark colors and capturing more details.
Also, the mod allows you to toggle a set of effects in-game, making it convenient. Furthermore, it’s a lot easier to appreciate the subtle differences between the visual effects of the base game and those with the mod on. By simply pressing the Home key, you get to open the ReShade graphical user interface and start adjusting parameters. This makes the game more picturesque and more immersive.
Of course, as an HDR FX mod, it doesn’t introduce any custom content to the game. You can download other Elden Ring mods to find the content you need. However, if it’s better graphics you’re after, this is a step in the right direction. Additionally, note that better graphics come with more resource requirements and for systems struggling to run the base game, this mod will be an added burden.
Better graphics for an insane game
Elden Ring has already established itself as a frustratingly difficult game, and Elden ReShade - HDR FX Mod brings those frustrations in better visual quality. By improving the HDR FX of the game, you get to see more vivid details and improved environment appearances — although it doesn’t introduce any additional content nor does it help you play the game. Still, if your system can support this mod, it’s a must-have.
User reviews about Elden ReShade - HDR FX Mod

This is an intentionally misleading description. He's trying to fake HDR in SDR by over contrasting the image. You can't get an HDR image on an SDR output, even on an HDR display. Reshade doesn't even support HDR visuals. If you want a Reshade there are many for Elden Ring that are FAR superior and don't rely on deceptive BS to try and appeal to users. More
