Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

A new Tomb Raider RTX Remix comparison video was shared online a few hours ago, highlighting the massive visual differences brought to the first entry in the series by path tracing. The comparison video, which was put together by Cycu1, does an excellent job highlighting how much path tracing improves the iconic game, even with its dated textures. The best thing about the RTX Remix mod is that it was developed without the improved tools offered by the open beta released earlier this week, so there's a very good chance visuals will further improve down the line. The Tomb Raider […]
A stunning Tomb Raider RTX Remix mod is now in the works, and from today, players can see how NVIDIA's tech improves the very first entry in the series with a free playable demo. The Open Lara RTX: Reimagined Realms project attempts to remaster the original game's visuals with path tracing, and it already succeeds at doing so even in its early state, judging from the playable demo, which can be downloaded by going here. If you cannot run the demo, you can check the videos below to see how much the original Tomb Raider benefits from RTX Remix path […]
Today, almost a year and a half after the modding platform's announcement, NVIDIA releases the highly anticipated RTX Remix creator toolkit Open Beta. While the runtime has been available for some time, the public availability of the creator toolkit should really kickstart the modders' work to easily remaster classic PC games with cutting-edge rendering features like path tracing, DLSS 3, and AI-upscaled assets. NVIDIA is also partnering with ModDB to make it easier for users to check out which games are compatible with RTX Remix and to get the optimized configuration files to run the mods. There's a series of […]
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic may have launched over seventeen years ago on PC, but its status as a cult classic remains cemented in the hearts of many fans. Arkane struck gold with the excellent first-person melee-based combat, which remained the benchmark in action RPGs for quite a while. Unfortunately, no sequels were ever produced, as Arkane moved on and made Dishonored. The wider Might and Magic franchise also largely languished (although there are now rumors of a revival in the works at Ubisoft). But the wiltOS Technologies modding team is still passionate enough about Dark Messiah of Might […]
Call of Duty 4 received today an RTX Remix Path Tracing mod that breathes new life into one of the best entries in the series. The mod, which can be downloaded from GitHub, is based on the RTX Remix Runtime released last year and not on the creation tools that will enter open beta in ten days, so the path tracing implementation isn't perfect. However, it is still pretty good, everything considered, as lighting is vastly improved in certain scenarios, as seen in the videos below. Call of Duty 4 isn't the only game that received an RTX Path Tracing […]
During the CES 2024 Special Address livestream, NVIDIA announced the release date of the long-anticipated RTX Remix Creator Kit Open Beta. RTX Remix was originally unveiled in September 2022 alongside the GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards. NVIDIA promised modders an AI-assisted modding platform geared towards 'remastering' older games with cutting-edge features like AI texture upscaling, Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) 3, Reflex, RTX IO, path tracing, and more. RTX Remix works by intercepting the original game's draw calls with a bridge, converting it from DirectX8 or 9 (it doesn't currently support the most recent DX releases since it was […]
