While Extreme shaders have reflection ray tracing, Lite now features screen-space faux reflections for water. It’s not real-time ray tracing, but it gives rivers and oceans a mirror-like sheen at almost zero performance cost.
You can now toggle between flat vanilla clouds or volumetric-style puffs. For Lite users, the new "hybrid clouds" offer a 3D effect without the FPS drop of full volumetric rendering. sildurs vibrant shaders lite updated
The signature "fluffy" clouds of the Vibrant pack have been optimized. They now render with less strain on the GPU, reducing the likelihood of frame drops when flying high above the terrain. While Extreme shaders have reflection ray tracing, Lite

It is designed to run smoothly on integrated graphics (like Intel HD) and older dedicated GPUs (like the GTX 600/700 series). It introduces dynamic lighting, shadows, and volumetric clouds while maintaining a playable frame rate.
Even with the update, you can squeeze out extra FPS by adjusting these settings inside the shader menu:
For Intel HD Graphics users: Turn off "Waving Water" and set "Clouds" to Flat. You’ll jump from 30 to 50 FPS instantly.
