NVIDIA technologies allow enthusiasts to update games on their own.
Recently, the unofficial remaster of Grand Theft Auto IV by xoxor4d was released, who used NVIDIA RTX Remix tools to update the graphics.
The author of the YouTube channel ElAnalistaDeBits decided to get acquainted with the project and compare the graphics of the RTX remaster of GTA IV with the original Rockstar Games game.
The blogger highlighted some points:
- The modification adds path tracing, which "means a significant improvement in global illumination, shadows, reflections, and material response depending on the lighting."
- Requirements are "extremely high" — the game was running on RTX 5090
- Weather and some details, such as water, materials, and some light sources, still need to be improved.
- In some areas, the graphics are comparable to modern games
