3D pip scopes are amazing, too bad they kill a lot of performance

[yakivpopavich]

When I use the default B&S Scopes with 3D PiP my 70 FPS tanks to like 50 or or 40. With the 2D Shader Based Scopes and Dots And Reticles extravaganza I have the exact same FPS when I ADS or not. I love it!.

[bobbleheadeater]

Are the PIP scopes for BaS only? I love how you can switch the illuminators on

[peterkuchenbecker]

Hi, just a quick one . How do you switch from top sight to side sight ?, if that makes any sense . Love your work .

[scytheiota]

I always did and always will prefer 2D, the choice of a true chad.

[ogreshavelayers]

Mine are super blurry for some reason with a strange screen tear when I ADS. Just installed Provak’s and have been having that problem all day.

[zorigtbaatar]

which reshade did you use in the video for anomaly? that's not aggressor reshade is it?

[Alex-ryfd]

How do you make the scope red or bright idk something like that

[mniakan]

If the transitions get better the shader based scopes can be better then PiP scopes since in stalker most sniping doesn’t happen pass 300 meters for the detail drop off even matter like squad

[satanicdude]

How do I get the 2d shader scopes working with EFP 3.0 ? I can't find any info anywhere :(

[AB-vpmi]

What happens if you cap the FPS to 30? Do you get 15 when using PIP?

[BOBINYX]

Wait, its efp or anomaly? If its efp or anomaly how i can play with 3d scopes?. Give me a link,

[healspringy]

You have a RTX 3080 and STALKER barely hit above 70 FPS, damn

[postalbear]

Dude what the fuck. You are comparing two different engines.
