With NaturalVision Evolved, in-game performance will be about the same as vanilla in most places. Weathers with volumetric clouds will cause some FPS loss.
{% endhint %}

## Getting Ready

Before we begin, make sure your game folder is clean. If you are using a previous version of NaturalVision then uninstall it from your FiveM 'mods' folder.

## Install Instructions

## Display Brightness Tips

{% hint style="info" %}
It is very important for you to set the correct brightness level. Otherwise you won't see certain details properly.

Try to keep your GTAV display brightness at 50% for the best possible experience.

You can copy my settings below. Keep in mind they're based on my own monitor's brightness settings.

To get the best possible results, I suggest reading [this guide](https://geforce.com/whats-new/guides/how-to-calibrate-your-monitor) and calibrating your monitor's display settings.

Alternatively, you can take all the tests on the top of [this page](http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/contrast.php) and calibrate your monitor as you go along.
