VL.Nvidia.PathTracing

Real-time path tracing for vvvv gamma powered by NVIDIA RTXPT, NRD denoising, ReSTIR DI/GI sampling, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, and Shader Execution Reordering.

Requirements

  • NVIDIA RTX GPU (Ampere / RTX 30-series or newer recommended)
  • Windows 10 / Windows 11
  • vvvv 2025.7 or later
  • Latest NVIDIA Game Ready or Studio driver

Features

Feature Details
Path tracing NVIDIA RTXPT / DXR hardware ray tracing
Shader Execution Reordering SER coalesces divergent rays for higher throughput on Ada / Blackwell GPUs
Denoising NRD (ReLAX / ReBLUR) — spatiotemporal
Light sampling ReSTIR DI + ReSTIR GI
Upscaling / AA DLSS Ray Reconstruction (DLSS-RR)
Integration NVIDIA Streamline (Reflex, DLSS-G)

Installation

Install via vvvv's NuGet feed or manually:

nuget install VL.Nvidia.PathTracing

This automatically installs the full dependency stack:

  • VL.Nvidia.PathTracing — RTXPT renderer, NRD denoiser, RTXDI sampler
  • VL.Nvidia.Streamline — Streamline / DLSS-RR / DLSS-G integration
  • VL.Stride.DX12Bridge — high-performance DX11↔DX12 bridge

Architecture
