12 to 16 provides excellent geometry awareness without crippling your GPU.

Tune this per game (usually between 0.05 and 0.20 ) to prevent light from clipping through thin walls. Verdict: Is It Worth the Upgrade? rtgi 0.17.0.2 release

If you were happy with 0.16, 0.17.0.2 is a clear improvement in temporal stability. If you expected path tracing quality, you’re misunderstanding the shader’s scope. 12 to 16 provides excellent geometry awareness without

Ray tracing is inherently demanding. Marty McFly improved the shader code to allow for a better balance between visual quality and GPU load, making it more feasible to run at higher resolutions without severe frame drops. If you were happy with 0

RTGI is a post-processing shader created for ReShade. It injects software-based ray tracing into almost any 3D game. By reading the game's depth buffer, the shader calculates how light should bounce, scatter, and cast shadows in real time.
