NVIDIA has announced the 1.5 update for RTX Remix alongside GeForce Game Ready Driver version 610.62 to get gamers ready for some of the new games.
Specifically for RTX Remix, Smooth Normals are now available after being demanded by the community, as it adds smooth-normal generation automatically for captured legacy geometry, making older assets look less blocky or faceted under path-traced lighting. On the other hand, a new RTX IO compression option has been added with split-size presets going from 1GB to 16GB. Taking a page from ‘Portal with RTX’, Team Green says that the entire size has been cut down from 25GB to 17GB, while ‘Half Life 2 RTX’ is even more impressive, from 80GB to 50GB.
Meanwhile, viewport light controls have been improved as well, and existing light manipulators are easier to manage through a unified viewport lights menu, with persistent toggles for manipulator visibility and intensity controls. Lastly, agentic AI can now utilize RTX Remix Skills with text-based instruction files that provide specific functional context to AI coding agents. These files include guides on creating feature branches, conducting unit tests, preparing merge requests, and much more.
Meanwhile, 4 titles are getting various DLSS options, including the long-awaited Steam release of ZZZ. Here’s what they will be getting:
- Zenless Zone Zero: DLSS Frame Generation, DLSS Super Resolution, Ray-Traced Reflections, Ray-Traced Ambient Occlusion, Ray-Traced Global Illumination (DLSS Multi Frame Generation to be added in the future)
- Empulse: DLSS Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, DLSS Super Resolution, NVIDIA Reflex
- Squad: DLSS Dynamic Multi Frame Generation (up to 6X mode), DLSS Super Resolution
- Reaper Actual: DLSS Multi Frame Generation, DLSS Frame Generation, DLSS Super Resolution, NVIDIA Reflex.
