RTX Remix Logic Brings Dynamic Graphics Effects to Classic Games
Many iconic PC games remain beloved for their unforgettable stories, characters, and gameplay. However, as technology advances, their visuals can become dated, making it harder for gamers to immerse themselves in the titles.
NVIDIA RTX Remix is a modding platform for RTX‑AI PCs that reimagines the graphics of timeless classics with cutting‑edge path tracing. It lets longtime fans relive their favorite adventures in stunning visual detail while opening opportunities for a new wave of players.
What’s new?
A new RTX Remix update—RTX Remix Logic—will be available later this month via the NVIDIA App. Remix Logic is a logic system that makes RTX Remix mods visually reactive to moment‑to‑moment, in‑game action. It equips modders with 900+ configurable settings to trigger dynamic graphics effects based on a wide variety of in‑game events.
Why it matters
- No source‑code required – Historically, modifying a game’s graphics in response to real‑time events required access to the game’s source code or engine.
- Broad compatibility – Modders can customize visuals across 165+ classic games without touching the original engine code.
- Creative freedom – The extensive setting library enables everything from subtle lighting tweaks to dramatic, event‑driven visual overhauls.

NVIDIA ACE Powers New AI Teammates and Advisors
NVIDIA is extending its ACE (AI‑Centric Engine) suite to give non‑playable characters (NPCs) true autonomy. Instead of following rigid scripts, these NPCs can now perceive, plan, and act like human players.
Highlights
| Game / Studio | AI Role | Key Features | Release / Test |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total War: PHARAOH – Creative Assembly | Dynamic AI Advisor | • Processes player prompts, current game state, and database info • Provides real‑time, context‑aware guidance • Stays in‑character and respects lore & period | Ongoing experimentation |
| PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS – KRAFTON | AI Teammate “Ally” | • Long‑term memory of past performances and interactions • Can receive commands, discuss tactics, and reference previous events • Supports English, Korean, and Chinese | Limited‑time user test (first half of 2024) via Arcade |
What the Technology Enables
- Conversational NPCs that adapt their dialogue based on the player’s actions.
- Autonomous advisors that teach complex game systems without breaking immersion.
- Teammates with memory, allowing strategic coordination over multiple matches.
Upcoming Availability
- Total War: PHARAOH – AI advisor being refined; no firm release date yet.
- PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS – “Ally” will appear in a limited‑time test in Arcade; broader rollout TBD.
All information reflects announcements and test plans as of early 2024.
