The RT Fidelity mod further tweaks ray tracing features to improve visuals. While the mod does come with a performance impact, and a few issues, the improvements it brings are massive, especially for ray-traced reflections and shadows, as showcased in the two comparison screenshots below.

Completely fixes Ray tracing shadow pop in issue (with no performance cost) Natural cutscene lighting Characters self shadows fix and quality improvements (cube shadows) Torch and lantern light shadows fix and quality improvements (spot shadows) Local shadows fix (updated resolution to max) Better ray tracing ambient occlusion Better RT reflections and distance improvement Better RT Lighting (indoors and outdoors) Better motion blur
