For those interested, I have added Quake II RTX towards our file-mirror. NVIDIA is revamping Id Software's 1997 hit game Quake II with RTX path-traced global illumination. The game has been updated towards v1.2 today, you'll need the 441.41 drivers released today as well.

A 1080 can do RTX?

Yes, but performance is abysmal.

Can't remember when they added it in the drivers, but it wasn't very long ago.
Uses the shader cores to do RT calculations, which obviously isn't anywhere near as efficient as dedicated hardware... but it can be done.

See this article for example:
https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/crytek-releases-neon-noir-ray-tracing-benchmark.html

Raytracing is not limited to RTX cards.. they simply do it faster, that is all.
(but still not fast enough... yet)

I am so happy for RTX owners that they finally have something to play.

Can we please not do the sarcasm and negativity all the time? Come on guys, it's just uncomfortable to read the forums this way.

Guess it will need next gen RTX 3000 series for a good experience.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. The game is quite playable on a 2080Ti @ 1440p 100% resolution. Also playable with 2070's and 2080's with resolution scale or just 1080p.

Am I right in saying if this can run on non-RTX cards, then this "demo" will not engage the RT cores in any case should you run it on an RTX card?

Same as Neon Noir?
