ReShade add-on

Stop the shader guessing where the picture is.

The Generic Depth Mod finds the right depth buffer more reliably, then hands SuperDepth3D the exact numbers instead of leaving it to work them out from the image.

Get it on Discord Or use GPU Selector

How to get it

There are two ways, and both are free.

Through GPU Selector

Deploy the Depth3D card and the add-on comes with it. This is the easy route, and it turns off ReShade's built-in Generic Depth for you at the same time.

From the Discord

Ask in the Depth3D Discord and you will be pointed at the current build. Put it next to the game's exe, alongside the ReShade DLL.

You need ReShade with Full Add-on Support. The add-on API is not in the standard build, so nothing will load without it.

What it fixes

Where the game actually drew the scene

Engines do not always fill the depth texture. Unreal pads it and renders the scene into a corner of it, leaving dead rows behind. Upscalers like DLSS, FSR and XeSS move that region every time you change a quality setting.

Without help the shader has to find that region by studying the picture. The add-on just tells it, every frame. Letterboxed games are handled too.

Which pixels are the weapon hand

Normally the hand is separated out of the shared depth buffer with a cutoff value you tune by hand, one per game. The add-on can supply a second depth buffer holding only the hand, so there is nothing to tune.

The two shader switches

ReShade preprocessor definitions

GDM_DEPTH_AUTOFIT	On by default, and safe to leave alone. It takes the exact viewport numbers from the add-on. Without the add-on it does nothing at all, so it cannot break anything. Not available on DirectX 9.
GDM_WEAPON_DEPTH	Off by default. Turn it on only when the add-on is supplying a weapon buffer for your game. With it on, the weapon hand cutoff value stops mattering.

While Auto-Fit is doing its job the shader turns off its own letterbox detection and upscaler correction on purpose. A guess can only fight an exact answer.

If something looks wrong

Nothing changed after installing

Check the add-on is listed in ReShade's Add-ons tab. Check you are on the Full Add-on build. Then check ReShade's own Generic Depth is switched off. That last one catches most people, and GPU Selector does it for you.

The image drifted after turning it on

Clear any manual correction left in your preset: Upscaler Guided, Upscaler Offset, Letter Box Scaler and anything under Reposition Depth. Auto-Fit already covers what those were compensating for.

Weapon hand looks wrong

The add-on has no weapon buffer for that game. Set GDM_WEAPON_DEPTH back to 0 and use the normal weapon hand settings.
