A well-liked mod known as Portal: Prelude RTX has added additional ray tracing material for Valve's classic, thus it seems that Nvidia has some Portal fans. To the Portal RTX release, it is a perfect match. that Nvidia unveiled last year with the release of the RTX 40 Series.
Prelude: Portal first published back in 2008, it acts as a preface to the events that occur in the first Portal. The mod provides what amounts to a whole new game, complete with voice acting, harder stages, and a companion narrative. It was subsequently remastered using better quality assets, and it is now equipped with Nvidia's RTX Remix platform and tools to take advantage of the complete RTX ray tracing approach.The Nvidia team, in addition to Nicolas "NykO18" Grevet and David "Kralich" Driver-Gomm, deserve credit for their work in integrating the new technology.

For users of RTX 40 Series GPUs, DLSS 3 support is also added to enhance gameplay smoothness using Frame Generation technology in addition to the ray tracing lighting updates. Portal Frame Generation is a suitable fit for it since it doesn't need low latency for optimal performance. But unlike the original game, Portal: Prelude focuses on a higher skill barrier and demands greater player interaction.
But even with these rigorous RTX lighting enhancements, DLSS 3 Frame Generation is a pleasant gameplay addition that should make returning Portal users' experience even better.

"RTX IO launches"
Additionally, Nvidia took use of the occasion to introduce RTX IO, a new technology in development that bears resemblance to Microsoft's Direct Storage. Utilizing RTX IO in combination with the GPU will need an SSD in order to quickly decompress assets, which will result in quicker load times and lower download files.
State of Nvidia: "Moreover, NVIDIA RTX IO reduces the texture package install size of Portal: Prelude RTX by 44%, allowing players to experience roughly 32 GB of 4K textures packed with lossless quality, all while using only 18 GB of storage space.”
Remember that the current sweet spot for performance to cost is PCIe 4.0 SSDs, although any SSD should provide better loading performance. Also, RTX IO will be included in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which will be released on PC on July 26.
To play the Portal: Prelude RTX mod for free, all you need to do is own Portal on Steam. The current price of Portal is $9.99 USD, however it sometimes goes on sale for just a few bucks. Checking out the DLSS 3 Frame Generation, RTX IO, and RTX ray tracing updates is definitely worthwhile, since this is one of the best PC games ever.
