It is important to note that RTGI 0.17.0.2 is not a magic button that runs on any hardware. Because it is a screen-space effect layered on top of the game’s existing rendering, it is computationally expensive.
Minimal noticeable impact; easily maintains 60+ FPS at 4K. Summary: Is It Worth It?
Reduced flickering and artifacts compared to earlier 0.15 builds.
Often paired with mods like QuantV or NaturalVision Evolved (NVE) to create "Insane Photorealism" in story mode missions.
, these drafts focus on the "before and after" impact and setup tips.
Moving the RTGI shader files ( .fx and associated textures) into the reshade-shaders folder in the game directory.
Since I can't directly modify your files, here's how you can a new feature for that version, including code structure if you plan to fork/edit it.
In games like The Witcher 3 , Grand Theft Auto V , or Skyrim , the shader does more than just add shadows. It unifies the visual style. Dark corners stay dark until light hits them. Neon signs in a cyberpunk city reflect off wet pavement accurately. The "flatness" of a 2015-era video game is suddenly given depth.
makes in [Game Name]. Even though it's a post-processing layer, the way it handles bounced light and micro-shadows completely changes the atmosphere. Pascal Gilcher’s Ray Traced Global Illumination (RTGI) 0.17.0.2 Beta
In games with moving suns (like The Witcher 3 or Skyrim ), shadows shift smoothly, stretching and softening naturally as dusk approaches. Optimal Settings Guide for RTGI 0.17.0.2
