Steam has Portal + Free RTX DLC (PC Digital Download) for $0.99.

Thanks to Deal Editor SlickDealio for sharing this deal.
  • Portal (PC Digital Download) $0.99
    • Set in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, Portal has been called one of the most innovative new games on the horizon and will offer gamers hours of unique gameplay.
  • Portal w/ RTX DLC Free
    • Experience the critically acclaimed and award-winning Portal™ reimagined with ray tracing in this free DLC for Portal owners. Start thinking with portals, with RTX on.
    • The new free DLC, developed by NVIDIA Lightspeed Studios, reimagines Portal's graphics with full ray tracing, new hi-res textures, and new enhanced models. These enhancements improve immersion, graphical realism, and the overall gameplay experience. With the DLC installed, you'll be able to choose when you launch the game whether to play the original Portal or Portal with RTX.
    • If you aren't familiar with ray tracing, it's a method of graphics rendering that simulates the behavior of light. When playing a ray-tracing capable game on a compatible GPU, lighting, reflections, and optical effects appear much more realistic. With ray tracing, light can even pass through portals.
Good Deal?

Epic sucks BUT they give away 1-2 free games a week and around Xmas they jack it up. Make sure to DL the launcher to claim all the freebies. I have over 100 games on epic. Didn't pay for 1.

Quote from DamienD6936 :
My steam account is 18 years old, portal wasn't free in 07 when it came out. If it was free at some point steam definitely wasn't a baby
Portal was definitely free around that time, but initially it was "The First Slice", which I believe was the first 11 Chambers, as well as offering some of the Half-Life games + DLC.

You may not have gotten these freebies because it was exclusive to gamers using Nvidia GPUs who signed up for Steam.

Maybe wishful thinking but anyone know if this will play OK on the Steam Deck at native (1280x800) resolution? Protondb has no entry for it yet.

Lol is this really that demanding? Like a 3070 at 4k won't reach 60fps?

My 140w laptop 3070 was doing around 70 fps with ultra performance dlss and minimum settings. so yea….

Quote from PlatinumButterfly :
Yeah I saw a post somewhere and the 3080 was only getting 1-3 FPS @ 4K with everything maxed. it's going to be a couple gens at least before midrange GPUs can play this level of technology at a reasonable FPS. Reminds me of Crysis.

EDIT: Here is the source 3080 @4K, Max + RT got 1 FPS (No DLSS)
https://i.redd.it/s7s9nx0rzc4a1.png

Just tried on my 3080 Ti and it's very choppy at native resolution or even with DLSS quality. It seems fine with DLSS on auto (not sure what's the actual resolution).

Going to show this to my 8 year old rtx on ofcourse lol thanks op
My kids all loved it at the 6-7 age range that I showed them. The puzzles get hard but can just start over again in six months when they have forgotten the solutions.

Me too. I have a 3070 and a 5800X and I'm hoping to play the game at 3440x1440 at at least 90 FPS.

That's weird about all the scary FPS reviews. I have the same system and at 2560x1440 I'm getting 60-75 at max settings and 'quality' DLSS. I haven't played through much - just at the beginning. That's not too bad - you can probably get your goal with lower settings.
