How to play quake ii in rtx for free#
If you don't already own Quake II, you'll be able to download the first three levels with all the new RTX features for free from Nvidia's website on June 6. They won't be supported at launch, but it's probably only a matter of time before you'll be able to play them in all their RTX glory. The same goes for mods and total conversions, too. You'll need to own the full game to play the entire thing with RTX effects (plus, of course, an RTX graphics card or a compatible GTX card starting from the 6GB GTX 1060 upwards), but as you can see in the trailer below, it sure does look a heck of a lot prettier than it did in 1997.įully-remastered with a ray tracing technique known as path-tracing, Quake II RTX not only has more realistic lighting effects, including a real-time day and night cycle, but it also comes with new sprites, new weapon models and textures, as well as updated particle animations to name just a few of its many improvements.Īlas, Quake II RTX won't be compatible with any of the game's expansion packs come June 6, but Nvidia have said they will be posting Quake II RTX's source code to GitHub, so you may well find eager fans picking up the slack sooner than you know it.
How to play quake ii in rtx full version#
And now, Nvidia are releasing a full version of Quake II RTX on June 6 from, with the first three levels available for absolutely nothing - just like they were back in the good old shareware days. Despite being a heck of a lot older than all the other shiny RTX games on show, it was Quake II that really made people sit up and pay attention to what Nvidia's new fancy pants reflection tech could really bring to the table. When Nvidia showed off their ray traced Quake II demo at the beginning of the year, everyone (including our own Alec, RPS in peace) went a bit nuts for it.
