Nvidia’s RTX Remix tool brings ray-tracing and more to older games
Back in 2022, Nvidia unveiled its massive resource platform for the PC modding community, called Nvidia RTX Remix. Now the tech giant has launched it for open beta, giving modders a massive toolkit that includes full ray tracing, Nvidia DLSS, Nvidia Reflex, modern physically-based rendering (PBR) assets, and generative AI texture tools.
Nvidia RTX Remix is built on its self-titled Nvidia Omniverse, an end-to-end platform for remastering DirectX 8 and 9 games with a fixed function pipeline. Modders can remaster a growing list of older PC games by using several tools in the Remix platform that allow for capturing game assets and then enhancing them with AI tools, as well as using ray tracing and DLSS to further enhance and update those graphics.
According to Nvidia, Remix is made of two components: an application that creates lights and adds remastered assets into a game scene, and a runtime for capturing game scenes and injecting the remastered assets back into the game at playback.
