Portal with RTX is a free DLC for anyone who already owns Portal, developed by NVIDIA Lightspeed Studios. This release brings the award-winning original experience into the modern age, rebuilt from the ground up with full ray tracing support and NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation. Every asset has been refreshed with hand-crafted, high-resolution physically based textures and new high-poly models that honor the look and feel of the classic game, all rendered in breathtaking 4K.
From start to finish, light and shadow behave exactly as they would in the real world. Each light source is fully ray-traced, casting accurate, pixel-perfect shadows. Global illumination lets indirect lighting bounce naturally across surfaces, while volumetric ray tracing lets beams of light scatter realistically through fog and smoke. NVIDIA’s Neural Radiance Cache further boosts the quality of indirect lighting and overall performance, delivering a responsive, high-fidelity lighting model. Portal with RTX runs on any GPU capable of hardware-accelerated ray tracing, giving you a stunning new way to revisit the world of Aperture Science.
Portal with RTX Update: Now With DLSS 4 & RTX Neural Radiance Cache
Today, Portal with RTX is being upgraded with DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, multiplying framerates, as well as the transformer model for Ray Reconstruction and DLAA, enabling even better image quality. Portal with RTX is also adding RTX Neural Radiance Cache (NRC), a neural shader that improves indirect lighting, as well as a bevy of performance optimizations. For more details, read the GeForce article here. Release Notes: Added DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, and the new AI transformer models for DLSS Ray Reconstruction and DLAA. RTX 50-Series owners can now multiply framerates with 3X and 4X modes, generating up to 3 additional frames per rendered frame, while all RTX users can experience the transformer model for Ray Reconstruction and DLAA to elevate image quality with greater detail, improved stability, and reduced ghosting. To activate DLAA, navigate to the advanced graphical menu and choose “Full Resolution” in the DLSS mode menu. Added RTX Neural Radiance Cache (NRC), a neural shader that leverages neural networks to estimate indirect lighting more accurately and performantly. With NRC, fully ray traced lighting not only looks better but is more responsive as well. NRC features multiple quality levels, each automatically selected based on the graphical preset being used. NRC quality levels can also be manually adjusted from the advanced graphics menu under the “indirect illumination” options. Added a new texture streaming system that optimizes VRAM usage to maximize texture quality within the available video memory budget Made various performance improveme...
