On high-end hardware like an RTX 3090 , users often report between 40-60 FPS depending on the scene. Mid-range cards like the RTX 3070 may see closer to 30-40 FPS at standard render distances.
It leverages both a Light Propagation Volume (LPV) and path-tracing. This hybrid method aims to provide high-fidelity results with better performance than purely ray-traced shaders. Nostalgiavx Shader
Use Iris 1.6.2+ or newer for the best performance and feature support. While OptiFine is supported, many newer features are optimized for the Iris/Sodium pipeline. NostalgiaVX vs. Standard Nostalgia On high-end hardware like an RTX 3090 ,
Unlike standard shaders that use screen-space effects, NostalgiaVX uses a voxel volume to calculate lighting across the entire world, allowing for accurate light bounces even for objects not visible on your screen. This hybrid method aims to provide high-fidelity results
You will need a modern NVIDIA or AMD graphics card that supports OpenGL 4.3 or newer .
Recent updates have added compatibility with the Distant Horizons mod , allowing for path-traced lighting on extremely long-distance terrain. Performance and Hardware Requirements
Features include dynamic soft shadows and lush volumetric fog that reacts to the world's lighting.
