NVIDIA RTX-Remix 0.1 Released For Adding Path Tracing To Classic Games

In b4 tuxkart-rtx phoronix-test-suite benchmark when!?!!

edit:actually though… 🥺

Actually, STK does have a fallback D3D9 backend nowadays, it's used to make sure it's possible to run on Windows-on-Arm systems. So yes, it'd be possible to use this to make RTX SuperTuxKart. However, the better long-term solution is just to add proper native ray-tracing support to the (currently WIP) Vulkan renderer. Still, might be fun to mess around a bit with RTX Remix.

The Vulkan renderer is currently very limited, there's no lighting/shader effects currently. Right now, it's mainly useful on the Raspberry Pi where the lower overhead makes a big difference, and shader effects are too heavy anyways.
