Sadly I don't believe Oblivion uses a fixed rendering pipeline.

@@abbiedoobie How does one determine if a game is running a fixed rendering pipeline? It seems as though its use of shaders is a dead giveaway that it isn't, but surely Portal runs shaders, no? I'd kill for some info on what games would be compatible with this.

@@abbiedoobie Of course it does.

@@toojb9294 It has nothing to do with shaders. It has to do with the steps in the rendering process being fixed or programmable. They didn't introduce the ability for programmable pipelines until Direct X 10, and even then, you could still do a DX10 game with a fixed function pipeline.

@@abbiedoobie Oblivion is a DX9 game. It uses fixed rendering pipeline. Same applies to the other 2 games using the same engine with Oblivion and DX9, Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.

Nah, I think Nvidia first used it and then memes started

@@Helld00d thanks. Hope they make it compatible with OpenGL as well

@@Helld00d I am sure Nvidia will update it to work it with DX10 and 11 too.

This _kind_ of technology could change the way we look at Remakes overnight, even game development as a whole if it were open to all DirectX versions and made compatible with all types of hardware, but it's still pretty amazing, even as an Nvidia exclusive feature for the time being. Hopefully essentially the same tech can be made open source.

I wonder would it work on gmod? Also if it does? What sort of mods would we see in future

You are, paying 1k+ dollar in usa and 20k+ reais in brazil per graphic board :D

@Gustavo nossa nem me fala... mas acho que o remix é a tecnologia por trás, para os desenvolvedores, e não que você precisa ter isso na placa para usar, talvez precise ter APENAS o RTX, que todos a partir de 20 já tem, vamos torcer né! Espero que a galera reviva os jogos antigos com isso ai

@@LeonardoRinaldiYautja se esse for o caso mesmo, é hoje que eu compro uma rtx. Nfs underground 2, nfs carbon, sega gt... Mal posso esperar

Because the whole point is they want people to just do it themselves

this is a modding tool, modders have to modify the game themselves.

How about Batman Arkham Asylum, or City? 🤯🤯🤯🤯

NFS Underground 2 oh my... that would be beautiful!

You need Acess to all original files that are not locked by developers in a way - why do you think Moders without Modding Tools from companys theself have a hard time moding anything besides few basic textures sometimes. Files are enrcipted and locked so you can not reverse enginine the games.

@@artursobkow2680 RTX Remix is ripping files straight from the render runtime, this should work for most games using dx8/9

well nfs carbon will see the light to rtx finally as many people wanted it to

Exactly, what I thought 😮 „AI“ is the modern substitute for „magic“, isn’t it?

so much potential

It's not really magic. It is just, essentially replacing assets and parameters with higher quality versions. What is really good, seems to be at least, is the tooling to do it. Technically, what would be magic is if they created an AI that would upscale an entire game without having to do anything. E.g., a simple screen capture remapper where the original game was still intact. well, what would be magic is if you could take an old 1970's space invaders and turn it into a full 3D game by just running some AI on it.

@@richardtucker5938 😂

You won’t mod anything cause I told you to. You’re my son go back to doing your homework and wash your ass you smelly af.

I know right! I'm honestly so tempted to learn the tool myself! My top picks for this are Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim Legendary Edition which was luckily still created with DirectX 9!

Check out 'Skywind', it's a modding project that's remaking the entirety of Morrowind in modern engines, with voice acting, revamped level design, while keeping all the original features like spell-crafting. Still in development but it's coming along well!

Lo mismo pensé😂😂🤦

They are re-modeling the meshes by hand though. The only thing it seems to do automatically is relighting and upscaling/updating the textures. Those two things are pretty huge though.

they remade literally one room in morrowind, and while this tech is incredible and groundbreaking, I'm sure even that single room took at least a few weeks worth of effort, not 5 minutes. It would take a team of tens of modders years to remake a game like morrowind even while using this tech.

Customers: I would pay for that.

Bayonetta remastered

exactly my thought! that and nfsu2/1

oh yeahh

and Blur. the last good split screen title.

It's really pretty basic. Just replacing textures with higher quality, replacing assets, etc. What's amazing is the work put into the tooling to make it easy to do. It ultimately is just giving a facelift to the graphics. It's not really changing any game logic. Imagine if AI somehow was developed which could extend a game. Essentially create variations, generate quests, story lines, etc. It's possible to do that. With LLM's one could already generate stories and NPC interaction and with TTS add voicing(in any language). Some people are already working on AI to generate games. In 20 years it likely will be a reality. Likely you could type in a prompt for the type of game you want to play and it will spit one out. [assuming humanity doesn't implode due to all the corruption and psychopathy]

Lol

Too soon

nice

Is the vendor so important?

@@Triso86XT Only when said vendor just dumped Nvidia 🤣

OMFG

Not compatible as it doesn't have a fixed function rendering pipeline.

@@bubrub5564 DX8 mode is fixed function. Don’t believe me? There’s an open-source remake of the X-Ray engine that has an entire section dedicated to getting around this in the DX8 mode. Shadow of Chernobyl is fixed function entirely, though they phased that out pretty quickly with Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat, the latter being what every stalker mod uses nowadays

YES 2142!

EA would never allow this and they hate anything that extends the life of their games. Battlefield 1942 was ok on it's own but when MODS were released the game was awesome. No MODS were allowed after that game. I do agree with you on 2142, I was also a big fan of Battlefield Vietnam but unfortunately it wasn't as popular. EA waving one hand in the air, these are not the MODS you are looking for, these are the games you will now like to play.

@@dakotawilliams6725 How this is setup, it sounds like it would literally be impossible to prevent mods unless they want to stop Nvidia support all together on their games since it's intercepting the rendering output.

An rtx card with 8gb minimum is required EDIT* this is the requirement to create mods with rtx remix.

@@iVictimizeYou ​ Where did you that info come from? @Base Reality I agree completely. The more widely usable this tool is, the sooner we'll see it actually used! The wording at 2:36 seems to imply it's available for non 4000-Series cards at least, so here's hoping!

Half-Life 1 beyond the original CD release uses OpenGL, not DirectX, for rendering so I am uncertain if it will be compatible with the RTX Remix suite, given they specifically state intercepting DX8 and DX9 runtimes.

@@the_kovic Ah, good point. Didn't think about that. Well, there are still tons of classic games to try.

@@the_kovic Maybe Half-Life Source is DX9?

All your favourite games will take a step back. RTX is like HDR, it's not beneficial visually.

It also means we can potentially get free remasters. :)

Sorry, unsupported. Any game that requires pixel shader 1.0 or higher is not going to work. Mostly games from 2003-4 or older would work. Some games have fixed function support AND pixel shader support like hl2.

Its just an nvidia marketing stunt like RTX IO, dont fall for it.

@@minmogrovingstrongandhealthyhow old are you? i was like 12 when the construction set came out. before that, the closest thing i could get to digital creation was microsoft paint. now, if you had thousands of dollars to buy the CD and licence adobe had back then, or had no gf or time or sports and just like were the 1% out of your other friends who picked C++ coding, instead of like ham radio, or magic the gathering, or incessant anime. (i didnt have time for any like deep geocities html website building, or like learning how to make a GIF in the 90s. So yes, when the construction set came out, it was only a tiny bit after halo and the xbox. it was earth shattering. the studio didnt just give you modability, they gave you the entire game, the entire intellectual property, and the engine that makes it work. now, to understand that scope. think of your first epic game you ever saw, i think its unlikely that even if it is moddable, that they give you a .exe file to a software suite they created, for the sole purpose of, not coding, but making it easy to build what they just finished. its like, theres a good board game. and then theres a good board game that also comes with 1,000 shades of paint, pieces, dice, and anything you want, and you can go ahead and ignore their game and just use their system to make yours. so yeah man, that does make them developers. unless you think catching a ball isnt playing sports. or learning to draw isnt art. or singing a song isnt being a singer. it gets ridiculous doesnt it? i didnt say they were professional game producers. but, in the case of morrowind which was a game of the year and a best seller, there is and was and in fact nothing did stop kids from totalling making their own games. not mods. totally new games. compared to roblox and minecraft and other sandbox type or open world building things, idk the sims even. it looks like crap compared to the epic scale and believability of morrowind. unfortunately, that could not be repeated in oblivion and then skyrim as it doesnt scale. now with generative ai, perhaps that could change. giving each NPC a Large Language Model and GPT to create their own scripted actions. well, The elder scrolls tried that too with radiant AI and it was too random, suffering the same issues as chatgpt when its given free range and creativity. it starts to utter nonsense. but now that like it can learn on its own, and it can work on itself non stop on multiple near infinite instances siomutaenously. the idea of game development is really leaving even humans behind. its now really just about thinking, who can be most creative and ambitious in their scope of their vision, because if they have the resource of time and the IT structures, well, actual like line by line coding is not really a issue anymore. heck, what would a game on the quantum as opposed to binary digital scale look like? Our current AR and VR headsets are really just more digital. its a whole other thing. and just recently IBM released, not a quantum, not a digital, but an analog AI. Wut? But yeah, because it looks like were making one big circle, and in the end, the most creative thing on earth is still, the human creator.

as amazing as this is it makes games run poorly on competitors’ GPUs, they better not be purposefully programming RTX Remix that way

Portal with RTX is a free DLC

but they only work on rtx cards

@@jalilali1415 They work on any ray tracing supported card, not just RTX.

indeed, looking forward to it quite a bit. Ray traced lightsabers and blaster bolts...

I have it on the list to work on. Not sure which game my team and I will start with. But this one definitely should be possible.

@@FarOffMods People should likely make a forum on Nexus mods for all developers with 4000 gen cards and what games they are working on and spread the workload since it appears to work on area specific(snapshots in omniverse)

It likely would not be hard to train an AI to upscale such things.

Any game that requires pixel shader 1.0 or higher is not going to work. HL2 supports dx9 Fixed function (runs without shaders). Basically kills most of the dx9 games out there for support. A game like Halo CE also supports fixed function at least.

yeah you can replay your favourite games in a downgraded state. All RTX is used for in games, just like high definition rendering, is make the image look less immersive. 00:16 is not an improvement at all and takes away from the game.

I have both installed and if that happens i'm going to cry. imagine Kotor 1 & 2 with this

On the list I have prepped for games to remaster.

Well, gotta create reasons for people to use these new higher GPUs. Why get a 4090 when a 1080 still essentially does the job? So things like these is needed to increase the performance needed.

The RTX Remaster tech doesn't seem to do anything for the meshes by itself, those are all being re-modeled by hand by professionals in the video. The RTX omniverse software does make it easier to swap out the models and bring them back and forth between certain modeling software.

@@kevinengland407 I think it is scanning the actual models and recreate them as meshes, thats is why the ones come from directly scan data look highpoly. But you are also right because they also swapped/added some of the models with what they have in omniverse library already i am guessing. Also about the polycounts, Nvidia also introduced something called micro-mesh; it is Nvidia's version of the Unreal Engine 5's nanites. They both simply let highpoly meshes to be used as game assets without too much trouble. Other game engines probably will jump onto that train.

And bioshock~!

Funny, here I was reading sentiments from people in the gaming community that think RT is a giant waste of FPS and makes little to no impact on modern games. Maybe it'll find a use case on outdated games for the foreseeable future, but it aint doing much for modern gaming, which is why devs aint bothering with it.

Smart investment to use the modding community to showcase how RT should be done and how easy it is to implement it.

It depends on the modders themselves to optimize it. Since Nvidia just making the tools for modders to use.

@@ViciousTuna2012 I thought it was confirmed DLSS 3.0 works with every Rtx card but the main features will be locked for only RTx 4000 series.

@@Jerry-jo6dn so apparently it will run but the frame generation feature will be 4000 cards only. That's something I guess.

TI means nothing fyi.

@@ViciousTuna2012 If its just gonna be locked for the 4000 series only then that's a pretty shitty move and as expected since its typical market practice move specially forcing people to buy only the new ones but also being a problem due to the scalping once these things come out.

I think if you replace certain assets those assets will be probably changed all around the game. Localized lightening is going to require the most attention after all the meshes and textures are changed. Also, I didnt hear anything about animation so same old there I guess.

Considering people are remaking Morrowind in Skyrim, hard guarantee we'll have a full remix mod in like, a week of this coming out.

Checkout Skywind! That's a project that's recreating the entirety of Morrowind (with voice acting!). It's basically what you're looking for. Still in development but it's coming along well!

This is a tool that someone can use to "update" a game's textures and lighting, everything he mentions. Each environment would still need to be done, object by object. It's not like, something an end user would just run the game through then "bam", remastered in 4K. Think like, a modder or group of modders could do this for a game and release it as a mod. Your guess as to how it will be "released" is as good as mine. It's unclear to me whether the changes can be baked into the game or whether Remix would have to be run every time.

@@ViciousTuna2012 all you need to do is just upload the files into the game folder. Read wccftech

@@ViciousTuna2012 from what I am understanding is that you will have rtx remix open while the game is running. I think what it does is it creates a dll to hook on to the d3d9 and "overlays" the remix's separate program on the game. Think of it like the halo 1 and 2 remakes atleast from my information that I gathered and what I speculate it is like. I know you have to modify assets of the game but my question is will you need to modify code or will rtx remix handle it all without touching the executable?

Should work with DX8 and DX9 games that stick strictly to Forward or Deferred rendering. Games that mix those two rendering methods don't work afaik.

@@SethizFTW Should be like an ENB or Reshade then. I guess now the hierarchy of quality will be Reshade (basic filters, minimal investment) -> ENB (lighting engine hack, more investment) -> Remix (Total lighting and texture hack, a lot more investment)

Thing is that if they were to make it for Morrowind it would require more work because of outside lightening and a lot more unique textures and rooms as well as having to make some arrangements with Bethesda.

Oh man, VTM would be absolutely bonkers.
