The iMMERSE Launchpad—a prerequisite for many RTGI features—received its own major overhaul, introducing a novel for optical flow estimation. Users can now choose between two optimizers: Newton for faster convergence on lower quality settings, and SophiaG for slower but higher‑quality minima on high‑end configurations. Interestingly, SophiaG is a cutting‑edge optimizer originally developed for training large language models like ChatGPT, demonstrating Pascal's willingness to borrow ideas from seemingly unrelated fields.

Are you encountering any (like a black screen or inverted graphics)?

RTGI 0.17.0.2 is now available for download on the official website, with a free trial and demo version offered for developers to test the technology. A commercial license is required for production use.

Nvidia GTX 1070 / AMD RX 580 or higher (RTX/RX Ray-Tracing hardware is not required, but a modern GPU handles the compute load much better).

A GitHub repository maintained by user offers a ready‑to‑use RTGI configuration for the MMORPG Guild Wars 2. The repository notes that it "requires Pascal Gilcher’s RTGI shader (Patreon)" and includes detailed installation instructions. The configuration enhances lighting, shadows, and color depth, and is designed for easy toggling through ReShade's in‑game overlay.
