I'm a tech enthusiast, an enjoyer of feats from all eras of computing, and while on paper Portal with RTX(why is it named like this? just be normal and name it Portal RTX please) is impressive, it's a dogshit showcase for an otherwise fantastic number of technologies. The fact that DLSS "ultra performance" is practically mandatory for a remotely playable experience on an RTX 3080 at 4k is a joke. It showing off new tech isn't an excuse either. Others have already dug into the asset swaps a lot already and I 100% agree, the new assets look out of place, mismatched and at odds with even the new lighting. This entire thing feels phoned in.

You'd think with a tech demo, you'd also bother to make it run well on your all of your GPUs; not just the one that costs $1,800+ USD.
