Ray tracing is computationally expensive. Evaluations indicate:
RTGI (often referred to as the "Marty McFly Mod") is a shader that simulates . In standard rasterized games, shadows are either completely black or artificially brightened. RTGI calculates how light bounces off surfaces (diffuse illumination) and, to a lesser extent, how it reflects (specular). The result is that dark corners become softly lit by bounce light from nearby walls or the sky, mimicking real-world physics.
Reduces the noisy "flicker" artifacting in motion by blending data across consecutive frames. Reshade Rtgi 0.36.1
– it crushes shadows and washes out contrast.
: This version is noted for being "miles better" in terms of framerate stability compared to earlier iterations, making it more viable for gameplay rather than just screenshots. Ray tracing is computationally expensive
Higher values clean up graininess but drastically lower your frame rate. Let the temporal filter handle the cleanup instead of maxing out rays. Temporal Blending Value: 0.85
Once installed, the default settings are often too heavy or too subtle. Here is a proven configuration for realistic results without killing your frame rate. RTGI calculates how light bounces off surfaces (diffuse
Compared to earlier versions like 0.17 or 0.25, 0.36.1 offers vastly improved sampling accuracy and reduced "flickering" in high-contrast scenes.
: If the game supports upscaling, enable it to offset the computational performance penalty incurred by ray tracing.
: RTGI relies entirely on depth data. Within the ReShade menu, use the Display Depth
The application of RTGI 0.36.1 fundamentally changes the atmosphere of a game scene.
