Before installation, ensure your system and game meet the following criteria:

This shader tracks how light bounces around a virtual room. In real life, light hits an object and bounces onto other things. RTGI mimics this math to make game worlds look real. Version 0.33 runs faster and looks cleaner than older versions. Key Features of Version 0.33 Your games run smoother. Smarter light bounce: Colors blend together naturally. Cleaner shadows: Dark corners look soft and real. Less noise: The image looks sharp and clear. How RTGI Changes Your Games Reshade Ray Tracing shader RTGI 0.33

Because ReShade hooks into a game's binaries and accesses depth data, competitive multiplayer games with strict anti-cheat software (like Valorant , Apex Legends , or Call of Duty ) may flag ReShade as a malicious third-party program. Only use RTGI in single-player or offline modes.

Paste these folders into your game's directory where ReShade is installed (usually ...\Game\bin\ or the root folder containing the executable). Overwrite files if prompted. Configuring the Depth Buffer [Game Engine] ──> [Depth Buffer Data] ──> [RTGI 0

Keep this around 0.85 . It ensures fast-moving frames blend efficiently to mask noise, though setting it too high causes a slight "ghosting" trailing effect behind moving objects. Screen-Space Limitations to Keep in Mind

: Higher values reduce "noise" but significantly impact FPS. Version 0

Standard ReShade effects like curves or color balance only affect the output color. RTGI affects the perception of light. While SSAO (Screen-Space Ambient Occlusion) adds basic dark creases in corners, RTGI adds bounced light. If a character stands next to a red wall, the shader can simulate the red light bleeding onto the character’s white shirt, creating a physically accurate look.

RTGI 0.33 hooks into a game’s depth buffer. This is a grayscale map representing the distance of objects from the camera. The shader casts virtual rays across this depth map. It calculates how light hits surfaces, creates shadows in crevices, and bounces colors onto nearby objects. Key Version 0.33 Enhancements

: While often marketed as "Ray Tracing," it is technically a screen-space technique. It can only calculate lighting for objects currently visible on your screen. If a light source is behind the camera, its effects won't be calculated, which is the primary limitation compared to "native" ray tracing. Artistic Impact and Immersion
