On top of that and also as been pointed out you can’t just go using anyone’s 3dlut you found random on the internet. Optimal for you and that’s fine but ones mans meat is another mans poison.
I never claimed it must be better for everyone to use that 3dlut file, I said it might be better like it was for me. For me it was a huge difference and I've always struggled getting good shading, this file solved that simply by downloading the file and using it in the madvr filter.

As previously stated, yes, if you love the grainy look this is not for you. This creates a smooth image with minimal grainyness while at the same time giving optimal sharpness with this effect.
