Any way to launch q2vkpt on non-rtx gpu?

[PainkilleR]

...because I am a gtx 1080 peasant.

P.S. I am obviously talking about software simulated way to launch it and I don't care if it will run at 1 fps. Just curious...

Well...

No, lol, you have to buy a RTX card to have it.

It's kinda the new "pixel shaders" thing, but we're still waiting for AMD to join the fun and more game devs to support the tech.

EDIT: oh, you're talking software rendering, not sure but the previous non RTX accelerated version did run on any card, although it looked much worse with the "noise":

I really think the only thing close to this is Quake2max.

Mods like "Quake II XP" actually look better than this ray tracing version of the game and also require "only" a OpenGL 4.5 compliant video card, however the lighting is much more advanced in the ray traced version and is trully "next-gen" stuff that uses the same kind of rendering method that is being used in CGI-rendered Hollywood movies since a long time now.

"Toy Story quality graphics" (or, if you will, "Jurassic Park quality") on consumer level hardware is quite a big deal, if you ask me.

I obviously don't want to launch q2vkpt so that I could just play Quake 2 with "good graphics". That's not the reason. Q2 is fine as it is. :) I just want to see their new tech with my own eyes.

It works now with 425,31 drivers.

Kinda like running Doom 3 on cards without pixel shaders, but atleast it runs:

Real-time CGI level stuff is now possible on mid-range RTX class cards:

Last-gen performance champ, GTX 1080 Ti, does it considerably worse, but atleast it does run:

Runs at avg 12 frames per second on gtx 1080 (non ti version). :)

It's quite impressive compared to the times when I was trying to launch Half-Life 2 on my ancient hardware for the first time. It ran at avg ~5 seconds per frame (in DirectX 7 mode... ...At 640x480 resolution). :D

As for q2vkpt... It's somewhat playable at 1440x1080 resolution. I haven't checked exact framerates on gtx 1080, but it felt like 15-20fps.

Oh ik, I tried running Doom 3 on my then still GF4MX and P3 build. It didn't exactly pull much more than 5 fps either, so I had to get a full new build sporting a Athlon XP and Radeon 9800 Pro, which could run it on high detail at around 30 fps (that was considered impressive back then).

Same, except I had a 1.8 Ghz Celeron (as far as I remember). Then I bought a Sempron and Radeon 9600 to be able to play HL2 and D3. Couldn't afford anything better back then. :)
