## What it is
NVIDIA RTX Remix is an open-source platform for remastering classic DirectX 8/9 games with RTX path tracing, DLSS, and AI-upgraded textures. This repo combines the runtime (which captures game scenes and injects remastered assets) and the toolkit application (for scene editing) via submodules.

## Use cases
- remaster classic games with path tracing
- capture DirectX 8/9 game scenes and replace assets
- upgrade old game textures with generative AI
- add PBR materials and relighting to retro games
- build community RTX remasters like Half-Life 2 RTX

## When to choose
- you want to mod a fixed-function DirectX 8/9 game with modern RTX rendering
- you need to capture and replace game assets with high-fidelity PBR versions
- you are a modder building an RTX remaster project

## When to avoid
- your target game uses DirectX 10+ or modern engines
- you need a general-purpose path tracer rather than game modding
- you want to contribute code - contributions go to the dxvk-remix and toolkit-remix subrepos

## Facets
