While RTGI 0.17.0.2 brings "ray tracing" to games that never supported it (like Skyrim , GTA V , or Minecraft Java ), it comes with a noticeable performance cost. Ray Tracing: Is The Performance Hit Worth It?

: RTGI allows light to bounce off surfaces and illuminate areas that are not directly hit by a light source, creating realistic color bleeding.

: It produces highly accurate, soft shadows in crevices and corners, grounding objects in the world more effectively than standard SSAO.
