![]() Even with a bevy of upscaling features on tap, Gotham Knights can’t maintain a stable frame rate. In the vein of the infamous Arkham Knight PC port, Gotham Knights shipped on PC with massive stuttering issues paired with lackluster ray-tracing options. Gotham Knights is on the opposite end - it’s an ugly look into the past. I’ll be taking a closer look at these games (and hopefully more) in the future. Modders have already put out versions of Max Payne, Half-Life, and SWAT 4 revitalized through RTX Remix, and they all look incredible. I’m particularly excited about what it means for RTX Remix in the future. Physically-based materials, more efficient path tracing techniques, upscaling, and frame generation all worked into bringing more realistic lighting into games, and Portal RTX is our first showcase of the power those techniques can have. We’re far past the days of Quake II RTX where some over-saturated lighting and distracting reflections were the best showcases of ray tracing we had. But if nothing else, Portal RTX is a wonderful showcase of Nvidia’s RTX Remix modding toolkit and how ray tracing can work to redefine the look and feel of the game. Portal RTX is an insanely demanding game, and I debated putting it on this list due to how few people can actually play it. But it doesn’t show up in this list in quite the same light. ![]() ![]() Elden Ring, for example, won our best games of 2022 roundup, and it’s a personal favorite. Keep in mind that ReSpec is a technical column - I’m focused on the technical aspects of PC releases, not necessarily my favorite games overall.
