So how does this work exactly.

Can I add RTX to something like Unreal Tournament 2004?

The best way to look at it is in-driver modding. You can replace assets on the fly with Remix.

agreed; but maybe get it super-polished before placing on github as to not get portal64'd

Nice. I think the code is at https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix for those interested.

I had played with version 0.0.1 trying to get it to work with https://www.freeallegiance.org/, but ran into issues. I'm glad to see they are improving the documentation. I'll have to try it out again.

Holy crap, apparently it’s already playable in RTX Remix.

Really exciting. The games I've played that had RT added despite their age were pretty awesome to visit again.

I'm particularly hopeful for Deus Ex.

I think if it was easy, they would have invested already. Old games can be rather niche already in some cases, and having a card that supports it only further narrows down the market.

That said, there are certain companies (coughrockstarcough) who are such prolific re-releasers of older titles that they would definitely feel threatened by the tech.
