📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- RTGI support adds ray-traced global illumination for a more realistic look

⚠️ Cons

For Dark Souls 3 players who want to experiment with RTGI-enhanced visuals without building their own ReShade config. If you're a graphics enthusiast looking for a quick preset to tweak, this is a decent starting point. Skip if you prefer a more curated, well-documented preset with community feedback.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure ReShade is installed and set up for Dark Souls 3 before adding this preset.
- After installing, press Shift+F2 in-game to open the ReShade menu and adjust the intensity to your liking.
- If the game crashes, try disabling the RTGI shader in the ReShade settings—it's the most demanding part.
