“Quake II RTX has just been updated to v1.4.0, introducing new enhancements and support for platform agnostic Vulkan RayTracing extensions.

Quake II RTX was initially released in June 2019 reimagining the graphics of this classic with incredible light, shadow, and ray-traced reflections (RayTracing. With the 2019 release, well ahead of multi-vendor Vulkan APIs for tracing Rays, Quake II RTX implemented ray tracing using Nvidia’s “VKRay” extensions.

Last month, the Khronos standards body formally released new KHR ray tracing extensions for Vulkan. So with this exciting development, Nvidia announces a new update to the Quake II RTX game and its Game Ready drivers to take advantage of the new Vulkan extensions. Now any GPU with Vulkan RayTracing support can experience Quake II RTX at its best.
