TL;DR Summary

Nvidia has launched an open beta of its RTX Remix modding tools, allowing experienced modders to easily create and insert updated graphical effects and models in classic DirectX 8 and DirectX 9 games. The toolkit includes generative AI texture tools for upscaling low-res textures, physically accurate dynamic lights for ray-tracing-capable hardware, and open source models and material maps for modders to use. While the release of these tools should lead to more "now with RTX" remixes of 3D games, Nvidia warns that it's not a one-click solution and requires time and dedication to create amazing mods. Compatibility is currently focused on games from the late '90s to early '00s, but Nvidia promises that game compatibility will expand over time.
