Duke Nukem 3D gets path tracing and DLSS through a new fan-made mod

Fan-made mod Duke-RT brings path tracing, ray tracing, and DLSS to the classic shooter Duke Nukem 3D.

Developer Brian Schulman released it as an open-source rendering backend for Raze, with HDR and frame generation on Windows.

More visual features are planned, and a bugfix update has already been issued.

The project shows how fan mods are extending the life and relevance of retro PC games with modern graphics tech.
