Submissions for the contest will be accepted until July 18, 2025, with winners announced during Gamescom in August 2025.
The update also includes support for DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation, significantly improving performance and image quality for players using GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs.
With these enhancements, the GeForce RTX 5090 can achieve impressive performance, reaching up to 450 frames per second at 1920x1080 resolution.
The platform has gained significant traction, featuring notable mods for classic games such as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Doom II and III.
Nvidia's RTX Remix modding platform is revolutionizing classic games like Half-Life 2 and Portal by allowing users to enhance them with cutting-edge ray tracing and AI technologies, with over 100 mods already available.
To create these mods, users need a compatible GeForce RTX GPU and can utilize various digital content creation tools alongside the RTX Remix application.
The contest will also include a Player Choice category, opening for community voting on July 18, where participants can win an additional $10,000.
This platform not only upgrades the graphics of classic games but also makes them appealing to both long-time fans and newcomers.
In an effort to promote this innovation, NVIDIA has launched a $50,000 RTX Remix Mod Contest, encouraging modders to enhance classic PC games with advanced graphics technology.
The contest features several categories with cash prizes, including $20,000 for the Best Overall Remix Mod and $10,000 for categories such as Best Use of RTX.
Recent updates to Portal with RTX have introduced the RTX Neural Radiance Cache technology, enhancing indirect lighting and overall visual fidelity.
Nvidia highlighted the contest during Computex, noting that over 100 RTX Remix projects have been released, with more than 350 currently in development.
