QUAKE II RTX WITHOUT RAY TRACING 1080P

Widescreen 1080p is enabled by default, controls are adjusted to more modern expectations, and everything’s fully customizeable in options. You can turn the RTX off in the options, making Quake II RTX an easy way to experience the base game without requiring QoL mods. But from what I saw, it’s very good-looking and I’m not surprised we’re seeing many more games using ray tracing tech.

It essentially turned my game into a slideshow. Now, I must confess I didn’t play the entire game with ray tracing enabled, as my computer couldn’t really handle it. Quake II RTX The RTX reflections/enhanced lighting adds a ton to the experience, from what I saw. So this is going to be a dual review of both the tech demo and Quake II itself.

Plus if you own the base game you can play the entire thing, like I did. If you’d like to experience it, there’s a free demo version on Steam you can play right now. If you want to know more, watch the above video where Nvidia’s Tom Petersen explains the tech to me in more detail. Ray tracing is a unique way of handling reflections that allows world objects to accurately reflect light. Quake II RTX is a “remastering” of the original game that ray traces every single asset. At first, I didn’t think they’d given Quake II the same treatment, before remembering an experimental tech demo I encountered at GDC 2019: Even more impressively, they’ve gone back and updated Doom and Quake to run perfectly on modern systems. Imagine inventing the FPS genre, codifying it, and then propelling it into the third dimension within a mere 4-year span.

Nvidia hopes that Quake II fans will take on the challenge of updating Quake II expansions packs for RTX thanks to the freely available source code being made available on GitHub.Having recently finished Quake’s expansion packs, I was curious to see where id Software went from there.

Graphics: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, or higher.

Processor: Intel Core i3-3220, or AMD equivalent.

OS: Windows 7 64-bit or Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS 64-bit.

Minimum hardware requirements for Quake II RTX are: In a way that makes this release similar to many shareware titles of old (like Quake).

Owners of the original game, which still sells for £3.99 on Steam, will get the full game and multiplayer access as well. The game will be available directly from Nvidia on the date stated. In the free game players will get to enjoy a total of three single player levels.

Cylindrical projection mode for wide-angle field of view on widescreen displays.Support for the old OpenGL renderer, enabling you to switch between RTX ON and RTX OFF.High-quality screenshot mode that makes your screenshots look even better.Caustics approximation to improve water lighting effects.Dynamic lighting for items such as blinking lights, signs, switches, elevators and moving objects.

Updated effects with new sprites and particle animations.

All 3,000+ original game textures have been updated with a mix of Q2XP mod-pack textures and our own enhancements.

Improved ray tracing denoising technology.

Real-time reflectivity of the player and weapon model on water and glass surfaces, and player model shadows, for owners of the complete game (the original Shareware release does not include player models).

Better physically based atmospheric scattering, including settings for Stroggos sky.

New dynamic environments (Stroggos surface, and space).

Time of day options that radically change the appearance of some levels.

Improved Global Illumination rendering, with three selectable quality presets, including two-bounce GI.

More specifically, highlights of the RTX capable game include:

Nvidia says that the finished Quake II RTX will look even better than the version shown off earlier this year as developers continued to work on the project and have implemented 'numerous improvements to image quality, and new additions that add even more path-traced enhancements'. At the end of the video you will see that the RTX version of the game is the result of collaboration between Bethesda, id Software, and Nvidia's Lightspeed Studios. Alongside this announcement there is a new announce trailer showing various in-game scenes, in-game action, plus side-by-side RTX Off and RTX On comparisons.

Nvidia revealed this Quake II RTX news at its Computex 2019 press conference.

QUAKE II RTX WITHOUT RAY TRACING FOR FREE

Today, Nvidia has revealed that Quake II RTX will be available for free from 6th June. That news followed the well-received presentation of a Quake II demo with real-time ray traced global illumination and reflections, HDR visuals, dynamic direct and indirect lighting effects, mimicked physical material light reflection properties, and volumetric lighting effects - at GTC 2019 in March. Back in mid-April, HEXUS reported upon the news that Quake II RTX was going to be published as an open source project.
