Portal with RTX Now Supports DLSS 3.5 and RTX IO

Portal with RTX is the first game built using NVIDIA RTX Remix, a transformative Mod tool designed to help modders upgrade and remake classic games. Utilizing Global Illumination (also known as Path Tracing), Portal Prelude RTX faithfully recreates Valve's timeless classic by accurately simulating the behavior of light in the real world.

Initially launched with NVIDIA DLSS 3, Portal with RTX now supports DLSS 3.5, leveraging its AI-driven Ray Reconstruction technology to improve the fidelity of Global Illumination and the responsiveness of Global Dynamic Lighting effects. With NVIDIA DLSS 3.5, the frame rates for GeForce RTX 4090 and GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER can increase up to 6.2 times and 6.7 times, respectively, reaching speeds of 100 FPS and 70 FPS.

At 2560x1440 resolution, the 4.7x performance boost enables players with GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, 4070 Ti SUPER, 4080, 4080 SUPER, and 4090 to achieve over 80 FPS, with GeForce RTX 4090 reaching a maximum of 160 FPS.

At 1920x1080 resolution, the 3.6x performance increase allows almost all GeForce RTX 40 series GPU players to enjoy the game at over 70 FPS, with frame rates rapidly increasing with GPU upgrades, reaching up to 210 FPS for GeForce RTX 4090.

NVIDIA RTX IO, along with the free Portal: Prelude RTX NVIDIA RTX Remix Mod, makes its debut, offering rapid loading and game asset decompression based on GPU acceleration. Compared to traditional storage APIs, NVIDIA RTX IO significantly improves IO performance, utilizing GPU decompression to handle smaller data packets, resulting in faster texture loading speeds, lower CPU utilization, and enabling developers to create next-generation games with rich, intricate worlds. With NVIDIA RTX IO, texture loading times can be reduced by up to 5 times, and Portal with RTX's disk footprint is reduced by 37%.

Portal with RTX supports NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 and RTX IO, and is now available on Steam for all Portal players to download for free.

Diablo IV to Receive Ray Tracing Upgrade on March 26th

Diablo IV is set to receive a ray tracing upgrade on March 26th, enhancing its graphics quality. Armor, water, windows, and other reflective surfaces will feature precise, lifelike ray tracing reflections and transparency effects. Many shadows in Diablo IV will be enhanced through ray tracing, adding more detail to all scenes. Since the game's release in June 2023, DLSS 3 has boosted the 4K performance for GeForce RTX players of Diablo IV by an average of 2.5 times.
