Released in June 2021, this preset explicitly requires "Marty McFly's RTGI Shader. ReShade GI Beta 0.17.0.2" and offers three variants: a standard color enhancer, an RTGI‑enhanced version, and an RTGI version with custom tonemapping. The creator notes that the preset also works without RTGI, but the RTGI variants deliver substantially better lighting quality.
Marty McFly's RTGI 0.17.0.2 (Ray-Traced Global Illumination) is a shader for rtgi 0.17.0.2
To understand why version 0.17.0.2 became a benchmark for modders, it helps to understand its mathematical logic. The shader performs path-traversal directly on the user's screen space: Released in June 2021, this preset explicitly requires
The release of marks a significant milestone in the world of post-processing ray tracing. This update is not merely a bug-fix patch; it represents a refined approach to how screen-space ray tracing can mimic path-traced global illumination without requiring native hardware acceleration.

She whispered to the patch notes: “You fixed the bleed. You stabilized the fire.”
It does not require an RTX-capable graphics card. It runs on any card capable of running ReShade, making it highly accessible.
