ReShade Ray Tracing & Better Colours – San Andreas

This mod enhances the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition visuals with custom ReShade ray tracing, improved ambient occlusion, and richer colour grading.

It gives the game an atmospheric look similar to the classic GTA vibe — brighter, more realistic lighting and improved depth.

Unlike the built-in version, this ReShade setup provides smoother reflections, better shadow behaviour, and colour balance without a massive FPS drop.

Key Features

• Custom ReShade ray tracing (not the in-game one)

• Enhanced colour correction and lighting

• Realistic ambient occlusion (better than the original)

• Works even on lower-end PCs (“Potato” version available)

• Toggle atmospheric mode with Caps Lock

Recommended Settings

• Disable Ambient Occlusion in-game (this mod replaces it)

• Disable Anti-Aliasing for best results

• Works best in combination with the “Potato” or “Medium” preset, depending on performance
