The upcoming mod for the original Portal on PC was shown off at the September event where it was announced. All current owners of the game will be able to get it for free.
It will look better if you have a graphics card in your laptop or desktop. This launch is a follow up to the visual treatments that were done in the past. You can check out the full post on the Nvidia website.
Artists and developers will be able to re-release older games with artificial intelligence and the latest graphics technologies with the help of a new tool from the company. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind's graphics were enriched with the help of the company's demos. It is an example of one of the older games that can take advantage of the latest version of its graphics upscaling tech for the newest generation of graphics cards. There are games that have fixed function graphics that can be re-mastered with the help of the RTX Remix.
It gets a lot deeper in terms of technical details. There are a lot of picture comparisons to show the benefits of the new product. The process is broken down by the company.
RTX Remix is able to capture the textures, geometry, lighting, and cameras thanks to an innovative, custom D3D9 Runtime called the RTX Remix Runtime. Classic games like Morrowind use the D3D9 runtime to send draw calls (rendering instructions) to the GPU. RTX Remix Runtime intercepts those draw calls, interprets them into distinct assets, and reassembles those assets into an identical scene. From there, RTX Remix converts the assets and scene into the widely adopted Universal Scene Description (USD) open 3D framework, which is the foundation of the NVIDIA Omniverse platform for building and operating custom 3D pipelines.
