This special release of Quake II includes the 3 shareware levels, but with extensively reworked graphics and codebase to make use of Nvidia's ray-tracing technology in their contemporary GeForce RTX 20 series of graphics cards. Quake II RTX is a cutting-edge, ray-traced reimagining of the old school classic. Global lighting effects, including realistic reflections, refraction, shadows, ambient occlusion and global illumination are a result of the path-traced simulation of light.

Game Description
Shortly after landing on an alien surface, you learn that hundreds of your men have been reduced to just a few. Now you must fight your way through heavily fortified military installations, lower the city's defenses and shut down the enemy's war machine. Only then will the fate of humanity be known.
About Quake II RTX
Quake II RTX builds on the work of Christoph Schied and the team at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, who added ray tracing to Quake II to create Q2
VKPT (in turn building upon the Q2
PRO code base). NVIDIA has introduced new path-traced visual effects, has improved texturing, and has made dozens of other changes and improvements, resulting in an experience that rivals games created today, and pushes your RTX hardware to the limit.
