Reshade Rtgi 0.36.1 〈Fast - HANDBOOK〉
Here is everything you need to know about setting up, optimizing, and enjoying ReShade RTGI 0.36.1. What is ReShade RTGI 0.36.1?
At its core, the RTGI shader is a sophisticated piece of software that adds fully dynamic, realistic, and immersive ray-traced lighting to video games. It bridges the visual gap between offline-generated images and real-time solutions, bringing a level of lighting quality typically found only in big-budget productions to thousands of PC games, both old and new.

Ray tracing is computationally expensive. Evaluations indicate: Here is everything you need to know about
Older light‑bouncing shaders often flicker when moving the camera because screen‑space data changes rapidly. RTGI 0.36.1 uses a , which stabilizes the lighting across frames. According to the developer, the effect produces "very temporally stable lighting, minimizing flickering or temporal lag commonly seen in other solutions". This is especially valuable in open‑world games where you are constantly turning the camera. It bridges the visual gap between offline-generated images
Check the boxes to find the correct depth buffer map. If the depth buffer is inverted or missing, check the on the Home tab and toggle RESHADE_DEPTH_IS_INVERTED between 0 and 1.
is a landmark shader that brought high‑quality ray traced global illumination to thousands of games, long before ray tracing became a standard feature. It is stable, well‑documented, and runs on almost any GPU. While newer versions add advanced features like HiZ reflections and improved algorithms, 0.36.1 remains a perfect entry point for anyone discovering ReShade ray tracing for the first time, or for players who prefer a known, reliable tool over the cutting edge.
RTGI is not distributed for free. It is a Patreon‑exclusive product. The version 0.36.1 is available only to subscribers. Newer builds, including the latest major update, require the "Photon Mappers" tier at . Many users consider this a worthwhile investment for the visual upgrade, but it is a paid mod nonetheless.
