Overview

• Half-Life 2 RTX, developed by Orbifold Studios using Nvidia's RTX Remix platform, is a visual remaster of the 2004 classic, featuring advanced ray tracing and modern rendering techniques.
• A demo of the remaster will be available on March 18, showcasing the Ravenholm and Nova Prospekt levels with significant graphical improvements.
• The project highlights Nvidia's RTX Remix, an open-source platform enabling modders to enhance older games with features like DLSS 4, RTX Neural Rendering, and RTX Skin for realistic textures.
• Performance demands for the demo are high, with optimal settings requiring powerful hardware, though lower presets and DLSS can improve playability on older systems.
• The full version of Half-Life 2 RTX will be released at a later, unannounced date as free DLC for owners of the original game on Steam.
