Portal with RTX Free DLC Available December 8, with Full Ray Tracing & NVIDIA DLSS 3

Portal with RTX is launching December 8th, bringing full ray tracing and DLSS 3 to one of the best video games of all time. Wishlist on Steam now.

Free for all Portal owners, Portal with RTX reimagines Valve’s 2007 classic using today’s cutting edge technology. Full ray tracing illuminates, shades and shadows each test chamber with unparalleled quality. Remade hi-res textures and models react realistically to ray tracing. DLSS 2 enables GeForce RTX 30 series owners to play Portal with RTX in full ray tracing. And NVIDIA DLSS 3 delivers a 2.8x increase to frame rates, giving GeForce RTX 40 series gamers the performance to play Portal with RTX at 4K.

Here’s a quick new look at DLSS 3 performance in Portal with RTX:

For a complete rundown of the incredible tech bringing Portal with RTX to life, head to our Portal with RTX announcement article. It talks you through the new RTX features and GeForce RTX 40 Series technologies that are leveraged, explains how our developers built Portal with RTX using RTX Remix, and much more.

NVIDIA will continue work to support the Portal with RTX DLC on GeForce NOW, look for a GFN Thursday update in the weeks ahead.

Portal with RTX’s full ray tracing is beautiful, and incredibly demanding. To experience Portal with RTX at Ultra settings, NVIDIA DLSS and a powerful GeForce RTX GPU are recommended.

In Portal with RTX, DLSS 3 enables GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics card owners to experience full ray tracing at 4K at over 60 FPS, a previously unimaginable feat.

Owners of previous-generation high-performance GeForce RTX 30 graphics cards can leverage the critically-acclaimed DLSS 2 to play at over 60 FPS at 1440p, with Ultra Settings.

And a wide array of configurations can play Portal with RTX at 1920x1080, Ultra Settings, with the power of DLSS. For increased performance, settings can be reduced from Ultra to High.

Before playing Portal with RTX, please ensure your system matches or exceeds the requirements for CPU and RAM, for the best possible experience:

For GPUs outside the minimum spec (i.e. GeForce RTX 20 Series), and between minimum and recommended (i.e. some GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs), the easiest path to better performance is to use GeForce Experience. Simply download the latest game ready driver (527.56 WHQL), find Portal with RTX, and click “Optimize” to automatically configure the best combination of image quality and performance settings for your GeForce RTX 20 or 30 Series GPU. 

Alternatively we have prepared some recommended graphic settings charts to help guide you to higher frames in your play experience. To adjust your graphics settings in-game, press Alt-X to open the Remix graphics window:

These settings target to improve frame rates and your experience will vary depending on your system configuration. These settings may also reduce visual quality. 

Please do not alter the Portal “video-advanced” settings, as attempting to adjust these settings may lead to instability; press Alt-X to use the Remix graphics settings window instead. If you have already altered Portal advanced video settings, we recommend you reset them to default.
