I'm actually talking about the 4.9.1 minor fix. That's why I was asking if it was placebo. Well, even if it is, it made quite noticeable improvement on 3-4 years old i7 and 1080ti.
I still had one crash, but can't conclusively say if it was reshade. Will report back, if something relevant comes up.
