NVIDIA has just launched the NVIDIA RTX Remix Runtime in Early Access. The RTX Remix runtime captures a game scene, and replaces assets at playback while injecting RTX technology, such as path tracing, DLSS 3 and Reflex into the game.
Now before continuing, let’s clarify some things. RTX Remix is composed of two core components that work together to enable modders to remaster classic PC games. These two components are the RTX Remix creator toolkit and a custom RTX Remix runtime. So, right now, only the RTX Remix Runtime is available for download.
The most important thing when modding older games is the RTX Remix Creator Tool. This tool, built on NVIDIA Omniverse and used to develop Portal with RTX, allows modders to assign new assets and lights within their remastered scene, and use AI tools to rebuild the look of any asset.
In short, you should temper your expectations for the upcoming RTX Remix Mods. At best, we’ll get mods that can add Path Tracing to older games, without improving their materials. These mods may also have a lot of visual issues, kind of like the RTX Remix Mods we got when Portal RTX came out.
You can download the NVIDIA RTX Remix Runtime from here. Below you can also find its key features.
- USD capture and replacement modules, which are responsible for capturing a game scene to USD, and replacing original game assets with modded game assets at runtime.
- Bridge, which translates the renderer from a x86 to a x64 instruction set. This component uncaps the memory available for rendering.
- Scene manager, which uses information coming through the D3D9 fixed function API to create a representation of the original scene, track game objects frame to frame, and set up the scene to be path traced.
- The core path tracer, which includes the rendering loop, the material handling, and the game specific rendering features (e.g., decals and particles).

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Literally the biggest success in America right now lol.
Gimmick? Failing?
Wtf you smoking?
Another expensive gimmick. Who cares about any of this.
What is the target audience for today’s GPU that cost $600+ ?
Rich kids in Dubai?
Anyway, in some better news…the PC market is totally crashing.

Future PC game will cost more VRAM than today’s VRAM requirements since most of next generation game is un- optimized due to game engine issue, DRM implementation which caused worse performance and shutter increase, and shader Recompile Issue on Direct x 12 api (even Emulator can do better better shader compilation than real game) PC game won’t have any future in the gaming generation it’s better wait for few years when the game fully patched with all content and DLC also DRM removed,
Dude you can make that much in a week.
why buy a new pc to play old games with graphics mod? Nvidia is still selling 3000 series cards because they made too many on the basis of people buying 600$+ gpus.
You do realize that consoles are pcs made by amd? You do understand that if pc goes you got no more consoles? Who is gonna develop the new chips? Santa Claus?
Predictably ….. Everyone blew their wads in 2020 and 2021 so it’s only common sense that computer sales would be down in 2022 and 2023 …. Same thing happened in 2000 and 2001 because of the Y2K bug only on a more commercial level. Everyone blew their wads buying new hardware to replace the outdated stuff vulnerable to the Y2K bug and so weren’t spending anymore in the following years …..
I made a lot of money in 2000 because I sold a bunch of overpriced stock before the bubble burst and did the same in late 2021 …. For instance I sold 1003 shares of AMD that I bought during the GOP Depression in 2009 for $2750 and sold it in November 2021 for about $146,000, banked it and waited for the bubble to burst and then last October I bought 1000 shares for Nvidia for $120,000 and today that investment has grown to $265,000 and I expect to to eventually go north of $300,000 and then I cash in.
Elon Musk just announced he order 10,000 H100 units from Nvidia which is 80,000 AD100 chips (4090 chips with everything turned on) In other word a depressed consumer PC market really doesn’t hurt Nvidia one bit because it frees up production time at TSMC for their much more profitable A100 and H100 commercial hardware which are in high demand right now.
Ooofff, this releasing gives me hope that Bethesda finally announces a Morrowind RTX Remix…
1) The fact that they didn’t use just some in-house scene quickly put together in low quality, but are using a third party IP (Bethesda) for showcasing so ‘comfortably’ and extensively…
It implies a suspiciously non trivial amount of legal involvement…
2) + the demo looking so fine especially at the final RTX Off/On comparison with higher poly props…
They show the process as being quite automated and those new 3D assets are very simple and quick to make, but again…
2.5) Morrowind and not just some demo scene? Morrowind might even have been used to develop and test the Remix tools…
3) + coming not from some random on the yutubs, but directly from nvidia, the horse’s mouth…
It’s gotta be.
amd cultists are dead in the water as far as being able to try out latest tech without problems, literally reading about 7fps on new cyberpunk pathtracing, AMD NO DRIVRERS, as usual they have had no drivers since ATI days. I dont worship Nvidia, but what other alternatives are there, until then please stfu. this is next level stuff, yes its not 100 percent but imagine it being utilized more. AMD is late to the party, they were late to the party with this, they were late to the party with ai like stable diffusion. you are paying the same money few dollars here and there difference, why buy AMD. literally experiencing top level graphics on an old 3070ti and a 12700k,. ive got oled 65inch 4k but 1440
Exactly. You have to have extremely low IQ to not notice that all new features for the last decade and a half have been pushed by Nvidia. The only exception is CAS. Which is legit. Also freesync was a nice touch but Gsync pushed the revolution as well.
The cope is strong with this one.
