Reshade Rtgi 0361 (2026 Release)

RTGI 0.361 utilizes Screen-Space Ray Marching.

Troubleshooting: If the shader does not appear, ensure the .fx file is not in a sub-folder. 0361 expects the shader to be directly in the Shaders folder.

Installing the shader is easy; tuning it is the art. Here are the recommended starting points for ReShade RTGI 0361.

Absolutely. If you are looking for a dramatic visual uplift without buying a new graphics card, ReShade RTGI 0361 offers approximately 85% of the visual quality of native RTX GI at 50% of the performance cost.

The key is managing expectations. This is not true ray tracing; you will see artifacts. But when you walk into a dimly lit inn in Skyrim and watch the firelight bounce off a stone wall that was previously pitch black, you will understand the magic. Version 0361 strikes the perfect balance between cutting-edge features and playable framerates.

Final Pro Tip: Always save your preset as RTGI_0361_Profile.ini. If you ever download a new game, copying this single file will restore your perfect lighting profile instantly.
