Appendix A – Example Configuration (v0.33) reshade ray tracing shader rtgi 033 2021
To get the most out of this shader without breaking the game's visuals, users often tweaked these parameters:
Once depth is working, find RTGI in the shader list and adjust these key parameters for the best balance: Recommendation Ray Amount 3 (Performance) to 5 (Quality) Higher = less noise but lower FPS Ray Step Amount Higher = more accurate and defined light bounces GI Resolution 0.5 (Half) or 1.0 (Full) Use 0.5 if your frame rate is struggling Spatial Filter Essential for denoising and smoothing the lighting Reviving the Past with Future Light: The Complete
: The shader simulates how light bounces off surfaces, allowing colors from a bright object to "bleed" onto nearby geometry, creating a more cohesive and immersive scene. Hardware Agnostic
Without RTGI, Los Santos looks flat. With version 0.33, the neon lights bounce off wet pavement. The temporal stability fixed the awful ghosting of older RTGI versions on car windows. With version 0
. By leveraging screen-space information, it brings a form of ray tracing to virtually any game, regardless of whether the user has a native RTX-capable GPU. marty's mods Core Functionality & Visual Impact
Motion Vectors: In version 0.33, ensuring motion vectors are correctly tracked helps the shader "remember" lighting from previous frames, significantly reducing flickering.
