Now i kind of want Battlefield II (2005) to be redone using RT. would go back and play that in a heartbeat

Same here, it would be so cool to see Battlefield 1942 RTX. My brothers and I played the absolute f*** out of the original.

Yeah, too bad there's still a fanbase for that but EA refuses to let people play it.

They will certainly be specifically designed to be unplayable on anything but Nvidia RTX hardware, the whole point being to show as big a difference as possible between that and non-RTX cards to comfort you into into thinking it's really worth it...

Yeah I suspect as much, it just would be nice to not have to deal with artificial limitations like that and simply try to create the best technology possible, letting any benefits of one thing or another speak for themselves.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Oh good, can it run Crysis is going to be relevant again then.

I mean if you are going to add RTX to older games you HAVE to add it to Crysis.

It was like THE game that pushed your pc to its limits for years and with how heavy RTX is to run, it's the obvious choice.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

They won’t be. Even my Titan V can’t manage Quake 2 RTX with its sheer grunt and tensor cores. I only got playable FPS at 480p.

Good to know.  It did cross my mind after that post that we could probably estimate how these will be by looking at the quake 2 performance so if that can't do it then I guess it's not happening for anyone

I had the same thought.  If you can get modern game devs on board, there'd be no reason to go to this extent in order to sell your new tech.

 

Not saying the concept isn't a cool idea, but it makes one wonder about the reasons behind it.

Tbh I'd play the original with no functional changes if they just stripped out all the account and DRM crap which they mas as well do at this point given the age.  For that matter I'd love a redo of BFBC2, and by redo, I mean just take the existing game and add an FOV slider so it's playable on a modern 16:9 panel.

Counter Strike RTX plz

Not gonna lie when I say I would like to see that happen. Curious if ray-traced Counter-Strike were to happen, would it be on the Source engine or would Valve need to create a new engine to support ray-tracing?

im sure they can find a way to do something with the old ass source engine, have you seen new cache? I can't believe that source is 20 years old

I actually haven't seen the new Cache in person yet, I've watched videos about the new Cache but I am curious to see it for myself, I've not played Global Offensive for about 4 months now.

I would guess that in most cases you won't actually need the RTX hardware to be able to get playable frame rates (or at least, you shouldn't) since the games are geometrically so simple.  It's the same theory behind why ray tracing mods for Minecraft work on non-RTX cards.

Take this with a big grain of salt, but from what I've heard, the reason why Minecraft works on non-RTX cards is because it's using an RT engine that's completely different from the one RTX cards are hardware-accelerating, and also that nvidia's way of doing RT is most likely going the way of HD DVD disks

I could actually be convinced to upgrade if they partnered with Microsoft again to get Halo: CE remastered with RTX.

 

pls nvidia, give me a reason to hate you less <333

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

It's a damn shame, as Ray Tracing, even just limited amounts like in Control, and others can really bring a game world to life. I'm a fan of stuff like Hairworks/TressFX/PureHair, PhysX ( I still have an OG Ageia PhysX card ), and more.

Cyberpunk with Ray Tracing is likely going to look absolutely fantastic. It's just a shame, just like with PhysX, NV are going to only optimise for their specific hardware, despite other version/compute options being available.

I'd buy the shit out of  GTA: San Andreas RTX. I'd buy a whole new computer just to run it.

You just want raytraced Hot Coffee, right?
