Now here are some controversial screenshots. A new set of screenshots were shared on the RTX Remix Discord server, and they showcase the latest version of an RTX Remix Mod for GTA: San Andreas.
Now the good news here is that, although the mod is still a WIP project, GTA: San Andreas looks amazing with Full Ray Tracing/Path Tracing. The bad news is that the game appears to have lost its colorgraded lighting.
I’m certain that some die-hard San Andreas fans will be displeased by the new lighting. Tech-wise, this new lighting looks incredible. So, I’m curious to see whether the modders will be able to somehow add some color grading effects to it.
To be honest, I don’t mind this more “realistic” look of the game. Keep in mind that this is a mod. If you don’t like it, you can skip it and still play the original version. In other words, nobody is forcing you to experience this classic GTA game with these graphics.
From what I know, the mod is not yet available for download. Naturally, though, I’ll be sure to share a download link for it as soon as it comes out.
These past few months we’ve shared a lot of RTX Remix Mods for various games. In January 2023, we shared several RTX Remix Mods that are in the works. As such, you can take a look at screenshots and videos for Tomb Raider 2, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Manhunt, and Garfield Kart RTX Remix. Then, in February 2024, we shared videos for Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Unreal, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 and Midnight Club 2. And then, in March 2024, shared the first screenshots from the RTX Remix Mod for Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, as well as videos for Fallout: New Vegas RTX and Half-Life RTX.
Speaking of Path Tracing Mods for older titles, you might also want to check out the following ones. Modders released demos for their Path Tracing Mods for Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, Max Payne and Call of Duty 4. Do note that the COD4 Mod is a “proof of concept” demo, and it does not look that great. On the other hand, the RTX Remix Mod for Max Payne looks amazing (at least in my opinion). Let’s also not forget the RTX Remix for COD: WoW. And then we have the RTX Remix Mods for the first and the second NFS: Underground games. Oh, and don’t forget to give a go at this RTX Remix for Unreal Tournament 2004. Finally, you can download Path Tracing Mods for Doom 2, Quake, and Serious Sam.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
Kudos to X’s Jesse for sharing them.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
