A: Yes – it uses compute shaders, not NVIDIA-specific RT cores. Works on RX 5000 series and newer.

: Version 0.5.1 is now relatively old; newer versions (like 0.36 or the highly optimized "Complete" versions) offer much better performance and fewer visual artifacts. Community Support

: Unauthorized downloads frequently contain malware, miners, or spyware.

The latest RTGI versions are locked behind a monthly Patreon subscription (typically $5+ per month). For many casual gamers, paying a subscription for a single shader feels excessive—especially when older versions were freely shared.

: Files advertised as "free" or "patched" versions of paid software on third-party sites are frequently bundled with malware, miners, or trojans . Since shaders require integration with your game files, executing unknown scripts or binaries is high-risk.
