The time has finally come and so have I. Modder ‘onnoj’ has released Echelon Renderer for Deus Ex, which adds support for RTX Remix Path Tracing. Yes, you can now enjoy the classic first-person immersive sim PC game with Path Tracing. And it looks glorious.
Going into more details, the Echelon Renderer is a fixed-function rendering pipeline intended for use in with NVidia’s RTX Remix. The renderer uses the ‘real’ lights from the map data and passes them on to RTX Remix. Moreover, the level geometry is stable, meaning that from RTX Remix’s perspective, walking around the world doesn’t cause the geometry to change. According to the modder, this greatly reduces flickering.
Check out the screenshots from the RTX Remix mod for Deus Ex at the end of the article. Both the modder and NVIDIA’s Jacob Freeman shared these pics, and they look incredible. This is what you’d expect from an official remaster. This mod really shows off what RTX Remix can do for older games.
Those interested can go ahead and download the mod from this link. Be also sure to read its installation instructions.
These past few months we’ve been covering a lot of RTX Remix Mods. In January 2023, we shared several RTX Remix Mods that are in the works. As such, you can take a look at screenshots and videos for Tomb Raider, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Manhunt, and Garfield Kart RTX Remix. Last month, we also shared videos for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas RTX Remix, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Unreal, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 and Midnight Club 2. Earlier this month, we also shared the first screenshots from the RTX Remix Mod for Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. And yesterday, we shared a WIP video for Fallout: New Vegas with RTX.
Speaking of Path Tracing Mods for older titles, you might also want to check out the following ones. Modders have released early demos for their Path Tracing Mods for Tomb Raider, Max Payne and Call of Duty 4. Do note that the COD4 Mod is a “proof of concept” demo, and it does not look that great. On the other hand, the RTX Remix Mod for Max Payne looks amazing (at least in my opinion). Let’s also not forget the RTX Remix for COD: WoW. And then we have the RTX Remix Mods for the first and the second NFS: Underground games. Oh, and don’t forget to give a go at this RTX Remix for Unreal Tournament 2004. Finally, you can download Path Tracing Mods for Doom 2, Quake, Half-Life and Serious Sam.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
