Even though Nvidia RTX Remix isn't officially out yet, it's proving to be an incredible tool for upping the resolution and improving lighting in classic games like Max Payne and SWAT 4. It comes with the release of Portal RTX, a remaster of Valve's 2007 classic puzzle game from GPU maker Nvidia - as many seasoned fans and developers have managed to get the yet-to-be-released Nvidia RTX Remix to work in a number of older games with amazing (if sometimes glitchy) results.
People are pasting RTX Remix files from Nvidia's Portal RTX into other games such as Half-Life 2, the original Deus Ex, Max Payne, and SWAT 4. Some of these examples work much better than others, but with some fine tuning and full release From Nvidia, plenty of classic games are sure to get a well-deserved update. That being said, you'll need to enable Nvidia DLSS to run Portal RTX at max settings, so hopefully you've got the money to spare.
3D animator and artist Alex Coulter responded to the posting of SWAT 4 images showcasing Nvidia RTX Remix improvements with some screenshots of the original 2001 Max Payne game, and the results are (mostly) astounding, as you can see below.
Coulter calls RTX Remix a "fantastic starting point," adding that he "screamed when it loaded into the game. I was able to lower the roughness values and fix the flickering alpha decals, but this disables some wall objects and gates.
"All the exterior building textures are broken and the mouse barely works when they appear," Coulter adds, calling the work "a start."

So, it doesn't quite prove that Half-Life 2 can easily be combined with the Nvidia RTX Remix, since those are just map folders for Valve's shooter in its puzzle mate, but it certainly shows how brilliant another visual overhaul can be. for classic FPS.
