Classic PC games are remembered for their incredible stories, characters and gameplay, but dated visuals can make them tough for modern players to enjoy. NVIDIA RTX Remix changes that. Built for RTX PCs, this modding platform uses cutting-edge path tracing to completely reimagine timeless titles, letting longtime fans and a new generation experience era-defining games in stunning detail.
Today's release of RTX Remix 1.5 delivers a faster, more compatible Remix Runtime, and a streamlined mod packaging process within the Remix Toolkit. These latest updates are available now via GitHub, or you can download RTX Remix directly through the NVIDIA App.
RTX Remix 1.5 Enhancements
Smooth Normals, a top requested community feature, is now available. It adds automatic smooth-normal generation for captured legacy geometry, making older assets look less blocky or faceted under path-traced lighting.
RTX IO is our high-performance storage technology that speeds up game loading and reduces CPU overhead. It allows games to better stream high-quality textures while you move around the world, and reduces install sizes. RTX Remix 1.5 includes new RTX IO compression options in the packaging workflow, including split-size presets from 1GB to 16GB.
Portal with RTX, Portal: Prelude RTX, and the Half-Life 2 RTX demo have officially integrated RTX IO. Thanks to this update, file sizes have dropped significantly: Portal with RTX has been reduced from 25 GB to 17 GB, while Half-Life 2 RTX has shrunk from 80 GB to 50 GB.
