Will my GTX 1080 be able to Run Portal with RTX ?

Will I be able to play Portal with RTX with my GTX 1080 ?

[Stalker2010]

Yes there is a driver to do that since some years, natively... I don't know.
It won't deal with it as good as an RTX card but can handle it.

no

No, the GTX 1080 lacks the internal hardware to run Ray Tracing properly. It is not a Ray-Tracing capable card. a 20 or 30 series card would be able to though.

if you try quake 2 rtx that will give you the answer

No. You need an RTX card to run RTX stuff. Shocking, I know.

Not true, nvidia driver "425.31 - WHQL" enabled rtx on gtx cards, will you get even 30fps? Unlikely but it will run

This. Try Quake II RTX to give you an idea how it will run

[Occam's Chainsaw]

It'll run, but probably sub-30fps even on 720p.

no, not even quake rtx is playable on a 1080 even on lowest and this is gonna be much more demanding

[zidane4000]

yes, at 240p

What do you think of the performance of the RTX 2070?

[kcthebrewer]

The hardware in GTX cards can do 'some' ray tracing depending on what features the game uses

Quake 2 RTX runs on GTX hardware
Most games with ray tracing do not work (even something like World of Warcraft's ray tracing implementation has features that exclude the GTX series)

Performance is very bad - Quake 2 RTX expect sub 30fps at 720p

The used market for RTX cards is pretty good right now so you could possibly upgrade with little to no money spent if you grab a decent deal

The thing is I dont really have the money plus I worry that a 2070 will be worse then my 1080 in the long run besides raytracing :(

Ideally get a 30 series. They should be pretty cheap with the 40 series out.

i had a gtx 1660ti and after doing some tweaking it ran quake 2 rtx at 40 fps at 1080p played the whole game with it so i guess cards above gtx 1060 should be able to play portal rtx

if we get the same settings menu that was in quake 2 rtx in this we would be able to run portal rtx at a good frame rate on gtx cards.

like turn global illumination quality to low and set dynamic resolution to 60 or 70(Even lower or higher judging by the strenght of your gpu)
