ReShade videos show Skyrim and The Witcher 3 with ray tracing
Everybody loves ray... tracing, and destinations such as Tamriel or the Continent are crying out for some RTX goodness. Graphics programmer, and long-time Nvidia collaborator, Pascal Gilcher wants to help us imagine what that brave new world would be like.
We saw his ReShade solution in action earlier this month, shining up the likes of Yakuza Kiwami 2, Quake, and Batman: Arkham Knight. But now YouTuber Hodilton has published 4k videos of ultra-modded Skyrim and The Witcher 3 slathered in ReShade goodness. The results are certainly convincing - just look at the videos further down in this story.
As we explained when the Yakuza video emerged, Gilcher's ReShade Global Illumination isn't quite the all-singing, all-dancing RTX method that's busy melting eyes and hearts in Battlefield V or Metro Exodus, but it's mighty impressive nonetheless. ReShade GI works by tracing rays in screen space using the depth buffer, and doesn't take advantage of Nvidia's RTX cards. There are no reflections (yet, at least), but the results are still jaw-dropping.
