Portal with RTX DLSS 3.5 & RTX IO Update Available Now
Portal with RTX was the first game built using NVIDIA RTX Remix, a transformative modding tool that enables modders to upgrade and remaster classic games. Portal with RTX reimagines Valve’s timeless classic using full ray tracing, also known as path tracing, to accurately model the real-world properties of light.
At launch, Portal with RTX featured NVIDIA DLSS 3 with Frame Generation and Super Resolution.
Today, Portal with RTX is upgrading to NVIDIA DLSS 3.5, leveraging its AI-powered Ray Reconstruction technology to improve the fidelity of full ray tracing, and the responsiveness of dynamic lighting effects. Using NVIDIA DLSS 3.5, frame rates on the GeForce RTX 4090 are multiplied by 6.2X, and on the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, gamers receive a 6.7X boost, enabling gameplay at over 100 and 70 frames per second, respectively.
At 2560x1440, a 4.7X performance multiplier enables owners of the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, 4070 Ti SUPER, 4080, 4080 SUPER and 4090 to max everything out and play at over 80 FPS, and up to 160 FPS on the GeForce RTX 4090.
And at 1920x1080, a 3.6X performance multiplier enables owners of virtually all GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards to play at over 70 FPS, with frame rates climbing rapidly as you move up the stack, all the way up to 210 FPS on the GeForce RTX 4090.
NVIDIA RTX IO made its debut alongside the free Portal: Prelude RTX NVIDIA RTX Remix mod, and is now available in Portal with RTX. NVIDIA RTX IO enables fast GPU-based loading and game asset decompression, massively accelerating IO performance compared to hard drives and traditional storage APIs. NVIDIA RTX IO leverages GPU decompression for smaller data packages, enabling faster texture load times and lower CPU utilization, and allows developers to create a new generation of games with massive highly detailed worlds. With NVIDIA RTX IO texture load timeshare reduced by up to 5X, and reduces the disk drive footprint of Portal with RTX by 37%.
The Portal with RTX NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 and RTX IO update is available on Steam now, for free for all Portal owners.
