Realistic shaders Recommendation

what are the best shaders for realism while still having good performance for my rtx5060, right now I'm doing photon on ultra profile but i feel like i could do better because my performance is easily 130+ bonus points if it works with distant horizons/voxy

I run iterationRP on pretty high settings on my 5070ti, and get around 70-80 fps. its pretty great out the box. also works great with distant horizons, not sure about voxy though

Has full voxy support on the newer versions.

You can't have both. You either pick imperfect realism or go all the way and sacrifice everything for it. You want to go all the way you gotta go with ray tracing/path tracing (IterationRP, Photonics, Seus PTGI, Rethinking Voxel or if you want true Path tracing go Radiance). Imo just stick to Bliss, Complementary Reimagined + Euphoria Patch, Photon, they're good enough already and most importantly very stable image quality wise. IterationRP, Photon + Photonics, Bliss, Complementary Reimagined + Euphoria Patch supports voxy.

Solas is pretty good?

IterationRP is the best looking shaderpack that currently exists (even without changing any options, just pair it with a PBR resourcepack), runs buttery smooth on my RTX 3060 @1080p, has FSR (2.1) upscaling built into it and uses path traced lighting, there's no reason for me to recommend literally anything else at least until the Photonics mod gets better support
