@@TerraWare RTX Remix..? I think its been delayed till early next year though Q1 2023, so the original idea I believe was to have it out with the release of Portal RTX I'm just as excited for that feature in Omniverse as well.
I wasn't really onboard the ray tracing train for older games but this one looks pretty cool. I think another good fit would be Thief: The Dark Project.
It would look good, but it would arguably break the game due to how the light and shadow mechanic works in-engine (unless you went for the halfway house that the classic RT renderer does here which would be really nice). For full on pathtracing of light sources you'd have to completely redesign the levels when it came to light source placement. Deus Ex and System Shock 2 would be ace though!
That would be so fucking sick. However there are Unreal remakes in general being worked on by the community, so we may get something a bit closer to Unreal with realistic lighting in near future.
I've always felt that Q1 would look much cooler / more dramatic with RT than Q2 does. ...Also I had no idea VKQuake existed *at all* so that's pretty rad.
Quake II would look cool if the raytracing was actually done in a way that is authentic to how the original game looks. Q2 RTX was created to show off RTX, not to add raytracing to Quake II.
VKQuake by itself is a superb compact recreation of the Quake engine for modern PCs, very faithful to the original by default but with heaps of additional bells and whistles available if needed. There's a bunch of open source Quake 1 engines available out there, but for my money VKQuake is right now the best one.
I do not understand why Nvidia picked Quake 2 to add RTX to. It baffles me why they skipped Quake 1. Quake 1 being a dark gritty game it just makes so much more sense.
Maybe for technical reasons, original Quake only supports GL1 and is a DOS game, while II supports upto 3.2 and is a Windows game, also Quake had a re-release in 2021
@@nightmarezer0507 Carmack has recently explained that a lot of sourceports are inefficient code, which makes sense since they're made by amataeurs. He was discussing that in the context of Dr. Beef's VR ports, but it would definitely apply for Nvidia as well.
@@Wobbothe3rd Well I mean coming from Carmack yeah they prolly are coded like shit. Carmack is a god at coding. That is like saying the chef at your restaurant must be a shitty chef because Gordon Ramsay (who is a master chef) said he was shit. I mean the Quake source code has been out for so long yet no one has made a decent port of it? There has to be at least one port of quake that is half way decently coded. Or at least coded decently enough you can put a ray tracing rendering mode in.
@@nightmarezer0507 DarkPlaces aint it. That's my point, Nvidia couldn't start with flawed code. This Quake 1 port is based off a very minimalist Vulkan port.
Really wish they'd have handled sky textures differently, as they are three part parallaxing textures they should have had the bottom layer be the light source with the additional layers occluding the light. Instead of these static purple god rays we'd get constantly shifting shadows as under storm clouds.

@@ramonandrajo6348 , Finaly a sensible comment. Too many shills on youtube. Raytracing is for realisticc lighting effects, for better realism which as you say and I agree is complelely a waste of time for games so old they don't look realistic at all. It's like ray-tracing in a game like Minecraft totally FFS. OTOH for a game like Senua or Metro Exodu it looks quitegood

Seriously; I was about to say that this looks pretty much how I remembered it, if not slightly worse. Mods like this are cool and all, but I'm wondering where all the *modern* ray-traced games are! I purposely waited for the 3rd gen of RTX GPUs before buying one, with the expectation that games would have more ray traced effects than they actually do at the moment. Unfortunately we're still not there yet. Games are still only adding one or two RTed effects at most, usually reflections and/or shadows. Oh well, at least I still have RTX Racer and Portal RTX to look forward to while I wait for game developers to get with the times...
Lol I played the original game in software mode and it looked like Minecraft. The 3dfx glide wrapper for the original voodoo cards made the game faster, but washed out. I remember it playing amazingly well with mouse look and 3dfx enabled, but nowhere near as good looking as this
@@JohnGuyJohn Yup...a VR within a VR within a VR on some inception type sheeit. Nothing new under the sun, it's been happening and will continue to happen for eternity until we wise up to the "game". The optimal resolution and framerate to surpass the uncanny valley is 66k; 666fps in order for all sheeple to believe its real life and continue serving the enemy as slaves on a neverending hamster wheel, chasing imaginary riches, fame, & punani.
This is one of the better path/ray traced mods I've seen. What I'd really like to see (and with other mods), is paying close attention to what an original part of the map may have intended with its lighting, and do some customization along with that to recreate it, instead of strictly having the results you'd have with path tracing. If an area was meant to be dark, keep it dark, etc. Although, many areas are much improved, without taking away from the gameplay, even though it can look vastly different.
FYI: You can get lower input latency and AutoHDR and VRR/GSync working in this version of Quake by setting the Nvidia control panel option 'Vulkan/OpenGL present method' to 'Prefer layered on DXGI Swapchain'. The setting should be right at the bottom of the 3D settings menu if you're on the newest drivers. That feature was added in the 526.47 driver version, iirc.
Thanks for this, it did improve the frame pacing and make it work quite a bit better with VRR. It also started feeling even better by combining this along with preventing the GPU from being fully maxxed out (keeping it a bit under 100% utilization)
My favorite visual style for FPSs, low poly characters and textures with good lightning and shadows. It really reminds me of graphical demos from the late 90s and early 00s where you would have a simple geometrical shape with light and color reflecting on them
For any AMD users out there, Quake II RTX on Steam runs well on my hardware and seems to have a very similar feature set to this mod. The only major flaw is no FSR 2.0, but it does have a robust dynamic resolution system which it looks like this mod lacks.
I appreciate the effort but man is it obvious the lighting wasn't originally designed to look like this stylistically. Transforms some dark and foreboding areas into something so bright it's almost pastel.
I'm convinced that we're going to start seeing 90s style games adopt RT in a big way. The affect it has on this simple geometry is incredibly striking and elevates the presentation dramatically. Imagine something like Square-Enix's 2D-HD titles leveraging ray tracing.
@@Entropic_Alloy Yeah, the power of lighting is no joke. Its very easy to overlook or underestimate until you see someone else test it. Same way the 2D-HD didn't excite some until we really saw what could be done with the approach.
Very cool! Quake is the game that made the biggest impact in my life. It also revolutionized gaming. It’s amazing to see it given new life. In a future update, quad should be given some sort of glow. Servers on the 2021 remaster added it, so the code already exists.
They made every single light a bloom fest. They removed a big part of the trans dimensional horror ambience that was supposed to be by making everything brighter. It's a LED fest.
@thatCapN Crunch Because the game objectively looks better with ray tracing and they’re completely dismissing it. Also he’s 100% trolling with that exact same reply on every comment. You fell for it g 💀
Classic RT preserves the spooky gothic feel of the game. Path traced version although looks very good, but it has too much light, so it spoils the surprise horror element of the original game as dark areas used to create a sense of apprehension..
It's crazy how much DF/RT-related content I watch, yet I don't even own a device that's capable of raytracing :D Cool tech, can't wait to try it out some day.
@@TimmyTurner421 I cant wait for more people to be able to try it out. A lot of people still think its useless because they cant actually use it, but once you play a game with it on ( depending on the RT implementation ) it can change everything. Its a very exciting time for us gamers
@@lilpain1997 I love eye candy so naturally ray tracing is a pretty cool feature that ads to the immersion for me. I realize it's expensive to performance and also to your wallet so I can understand why many feel its not worth it. What I don't understand is that there's a group of people that are almost religiously against it and will respond with hostility if you happen to disagree with them and to be fair there is such a group on the ray tracing side as well. It's a feature that's grown in popularity tremendously the last couple of years with new games supporting it and it's even being added to older games by devs and modders alike. It's a big focus for consoles and Nvidia, AMD and Intel with their gpu's improving their RT support with each generation of gpu's. It'll only get bigger.
It's ok, once I got an RTX card I used ray tracing for like a few hours and then never bothered with it in modern games. DLSS however, that is sex, can't get enough of it. I was used to having to choose between image quality/resolution and performance, but now I get both.
I really appreciate the "Classic" version. I don't agree with some of the interpretations of the fully Ray Traced visuals here, and a LOT of them in Doom RT, even though I appreciate them on a technical level and in their own artistic way. The Classic renderer gives us something closer to a "definitive" experience.
Would have been kind, or maybe even polite to link the github and somewhere you can find the relevant DLSS DLLs. They're both a google away, but come on.
Let's take a moment and give John Carmack a thumb up since he was the one fighting to release the scource code of these older games. I can not wait for a Path Traced Version of Quake 3 Arena. That said, it's gonna be hard to find ppl to play it with. Maybe Epic should release the Unreal 1 / 2 // Unreal Tournament scource code aswell.
Gamers in past: Finally, with my new graphics card, I can run Quake 1! Gamers two decades later: Finally, with my new graphics card, I can run RT for Quake 1!
It's still difficult for me to comprehend that merely 30 years ago my then lightning-fast 486DX33 took about ten minutes to render a single picture in POVray at 320x200x256 - while now we're living in a world where fully raytraced games are rendered in realtime at 1080p60 and higher. The mind, it just boggles. What a time to be alive!
POVray traces every pixel and does more calculation than modern realtime RT does. Games do a very rough estimate of a small amount of pixels, then use AI to estimate what 95% of the uncalculated rays would be. Hence the flickery mess when you look at the raw data.
Yep switched to pc three years ago and my only grip is I waited so long. Mostly playing old games, 5-30 years old and its glorious. Getting dozens of aaa/aa games on crazy sales for like 3-5$ a piece.
The potential for playing older games is often underrated. You always hear about the latest and greatest as far as PC is concerned, but with a mid range you can have a lot of fun playing older games whereas you can use a PS5/XSX for newer games. If I didn't already have the setup that I have now and didn't have the money then that's probably what I would've done. A high refresh monitor with a midrange and a console. It's really nice playing older games locked to 162fps/hz with gsync and it always surprises me just how much fun there is to be had playing completely free mods. Games like Half Life 1/2, Doom, Quake, etc have an insane amount of mods to play that hardly take up any space on your drive. And midrange specs ensure that you can play some newer stuff and most indie games that aren't available on console. Personally I have an RTX 2080ti and an i9 9900k and yet more often than not you'll find me playing older games that it's completely overkill for. At least RTX in these games somewhat vindicates that habit. My Xbox is meant for the few exclusives left and local coop for older games, as well as crossplay with my friend. Closest we can get to emulating splitscreen on most games nowadays. Full RTX still runs pretty bad on games like Quake though. Quake 2 RTX with DLSS at quality and 1440p still runs at 30-40fps on my setup. But full RTX is at the extreme end.
Just the thought of past gaming gems like Quake getting this feature set is staggering! Would love to see Halo Combat Evolved with path raytracing, just wow!
They've done such a phenomenal job with this. I just wish it was in the released into the main game and to actually make more realistic character models too as an option.
As with a lot of these things. There's good an bad. I loved the crispness, reflections, and water effects. The sky casting a purple hue, not so much. Seems that most things have menu adjusts, so certainly worth taking a look at.
Thanks for the info about this! Just tried this out on my RTX 3050 8GB. Runs at 60 with no DLSS and 120hz with DLSS Bal. I hope we see more old games with unfiltered textures get RTX. It’s such a unique look!
Hi Alex and DF Team! Wonder if there is possibility for you to produce video about optimizing Windows for gaming. There are many such videos on YT, but most of them all full of crappy advices... So it would be great if someone with your level of expertise could cover this topic.
I love when devs or modders add RT to older games. It gives them an entirely new feel and life. I'd love to see more games get this treatment, looking for to the HL RT mod.
Great video! Thanks for covering this. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I hope Sultim eventually makes an upscaled/PBR texture pack for this, like they did for Serious Sam. Also, this being vkQuake-based, it's likely to be compatible with NightFright2k19's Authentic Model Replacement, right?
I never get tired of DF videos about Quake. I'm hoping Quake II gets a remaster soon, and I won't lie, it's mainly because I'd love another video on that game.
@@ArchyVai0 Quake 2 RTX sucks. It ruins the artistic direction of the original and it runs like shit. As an RTX tech demo, it's fine, but as a version of Quake II, it's not even worth considering. Plus it's only on PC, so there's literally no reason to play it instead of the original, or a source port. Source ports will _always_ be better than official remasters thanks to corporate bullshit, but at least official remasters give people an official way to play the game on consoles.
I love quake 2 rtx and think it looks far better than original. It also runs amazing on my PC. Oh and I couldn't care less if its on console or not. Usually people who say it sucks either have never played it or got the hardware capable of running it at acceptable quality.
These are the types of remasters people actually want; the original game with an old school look but realistic lighting and surface material properties.
It's also why people love the hd-2d pixel art being used on new and even old square enix games. We don't want realistic we just want something beautiful. Adding modern beauty to retro beauty leads to something even more special.

I wasn't really onboard the ray tracing train for older games but this one looks pretty cool. I think another good fit would be Thief: The Dark Project.
spot on, thief should be the next
Would love to see that for the original Deus Ex, too. I'd love to see both games given this treatment. :)
System Shock 2 would feel so atmospheric with a path tracing mod as well.
@@vincentjohnson7175 Agreed. :)
It would look good, but it would arguably break the game due to how the light and shadow mechanic works in-engine (unless you went for the halfway house that the classic RT renderer does here which would be really nice). For full on pathtracing of light sources you'd have to completely redesign the levels when it came to light source placement. Deus Ex and System Shock 2 would be ace though!
Now this need to be applied to Unreal 1998 too.
Probably can't be done easily. It's not open source like Quake engine (id Tech) is.
That would be so fucking sick. However there are Unreal remakes in general being worked on by the community, so we may get something a bit closer to Unreal with realistic lighting in near future.
Unreal already looks perfect, just use the DX10 renderer, slap on some antialiasing and you're golden.
@@Franku40keks you’re GOLD indeed
@@DaxMarko Unreal Redux is the one to watch for.
I've always felt that Q1 would look much cooler / more dramatic with RT than Q2 does. ...Also I had no idea VKQuake existed *at all* so that's pretty rad.
Quake II would look cool if the raytracing was actually done in a way that is authentic to how the original game looks. Q2 RTX was created to show off RTX, not to add raytracing to Quake II.
VKQuake is an excellent port. Better than the remaster on Steam due to vsync issues.
VKQuake by itself is a superb compact recreation of the Quake engine for modern PCs, very faithful to the original by default but with heaps of additional bells and whistles available if needed. There's a bunch of open source Quake 1 engines available out there, but for my money VKQuake is right now the best one.

I do not understand why Nvidia picked Quake 2 to add RTX to. It baffles me why they skipped Quake 1. Quake 1 being a dark gritty game it just makes so much more sense.
Maybe for technical reasons, original Quake only supports GL1 and is a DOS game, while II supports upto 3.2 and is a Windows game, also Quake had a re-release in 2021
@@weirdscix Well there were source ports out they could have used as a base. DarkPlaces comes to mind.
@@nightmarezer0507 Carmack has recently explained that a lot of sourceports are inefficient code, which makes sense since they're made by amataeurs. He was discussing that in the context of Dr. Beef's VR ports, but it would definitely apply for Nvidia as well.

Or at least coded decently enough you can put a ray tracing rendering mode in.
@@nightmarezer0507 DarkPlaces aint it. That's my point, Nvidia couldn't start with flawed code. This Quake 1 port is based off a very minimalist Vulkan port.
Really wish they'd have handled sky textures differently, as they are three part parallaxing textures they should have had the bottom layer be the light source with the additional layers occluding the light. Instead of these static purple god rays we'd get constantly shifting shadows as under storm clouds.
That would be brilliant!

Seriously; I was about to say that this looks pretty much how I remembered it, if not slightly worse. Mods like this are cool and all, but I'm wondering where all the *modern* ray-traced games are! I purposely waited for the 3rd gen of RTX GPUs before buying one, with the expectation that games would have more ray traced effects than they actually do at the moment. Unfortunately we're still not there yet. Games are still only adding one or two RTed effects at most, usually reflections and/or shadows. Oh well, at least I still have RTX Racer and Portal RTX to look forward to while I wait for game developers to get with the times...
Lol I played the original game in software mode and it looked like Minecraft. The 3dfx glide wrapper for the original voodoo cards made the game faster, but washed out. I remember it playing amazingly well with mouse look and 3dfx enabled, but nowhere near as good looking as this
@@foulplay99 it changed the lighting big time too and the resolution

This is one of the better path/ray traced mods I've seen. What I'd really like to see (and with other mods), is paying close attention to what an original part of the map may have intended with its lighting, and do some customization along with that to recreate it, instead of strictly having the results you'd have with path tracing. If an area was meant to be dark, keep it dark, etc. Although, many areas are much improved, without taking away from the gameplay, even though it can look vastly different.
Totally agree, there's a lot of areas that are too dark or too light and that impacts gameplay greatly.
FYI: You can get lower input latency and AutoHDR and VRR/GSync working in this version of Quake by setting the Nvidia control panel option 'Vulkan/OpenGL present method' to 'Prefer layered on DXGI Swapchain'. The setting should be right at the bottom of the 3D settings menu if you're on the newest drivers. That feature was added in the 526.47 driver version, iirc.
Thanks for this, it did improve the frame pacing and make it work quite a bit better with VRR. It also started feeling even better by combining this along with preventing the GPU from being fully maxxed out (keeping it a bit under 100% utilization)
My favorite visual style for FPSs, low poly characters and textures with good lightning and shadows. It really reminds me of graphical demos from the late 90s and early 00s where you would have a simple geometrical shape with light and color reflecting on them
I remember first time I tried quake with my first graphics card (Helios3d) with 3dfx, was an epic graphical update :D
Amid Evil has got you there lol.
For any AMD users out there, Quake II RTX on Steam runs well on my hardware and seems to have a very similar feature set to this mod. The only major flaw is no FSR 2.0, but it does have a robust dynamic resolution system which it looks like this mod lacks.
I appreciate the effort but man is it obvious the lighting wasn't originally designed to look like this stylistically. Transforms some dark and foreboding areas into something so bright it's almost pastel.
I still don't understand why ID acts like Quake 3 doesn't exist.
Quake Live. And Champions is basically the original vision of Arena.
I'm convinced that we're going to start seeing 90s style games adopt RT in a big way. The affect it has on this simple geometry is incredibly striking and elevates the presentation dramatically.
Imagine something like Square-Enix's 2D-HD titles leveraging ray tracing.
Amid Evil added RT and it looks awesome.
@@Entropic_Alloy Yeah, the power of lighting is no joke. Its very easy to overlook or underestimate until you see someone else test it. Same way the 2D-HD didn't excite some until we really saw what could be done with the approach.
@@ramonandrajo6348 I think it looks fantastic. These games still have audiences so it's not a waste at all.

This upgrade makes Quake look like how you remember it looking.
Played it and it's... a bit of a letdown. No specular lighting really husts, and there are lots of strange light smudges all over the place.
Very cool! Quake is the game that made the biggest impact in my life. It also revolutionized gaming. It’s amazing to see it given new life. In a future update, quad should be given some sort of glow. Servers on the 2021 remaster added it, so the code already exists.

Now it looks like an average early access shooter from Steam, they just need to add roguelite mode to it.
Classic RT preserves the spooky gothic feel of the game. Path traced version although looks very good, but it has too much light, so it spoils the surprise horror element of the original game as dark areas used to create a sense of apprehension..
I think that with a brightness adjustment it will look great. Currently, it's just too bright and you lose the Quake atmosphere and gloominess.
I would recommend to modify color emission properties - not brightness ;-)

@@TimmyTurner421 I cant wait for more people to be able to try it out. A lot of people still think its useless because they cant actually use it, but once you play a game with it on ( depending on the RT implementation ) it can change everything. Its a very exciting time for us gamers
@@lilpain1997 I love eye candy so naturally ray tracing is a pretty cool feature that ads to the immersion for me. I realize it's expensive to performance and also to your wallet so I can understand why many feel its not worth it. What I don't understand is that there's a group of people that are almost religiously against it and will respond with hostility if you happen to disagree with them and to be fair there is such a group on the ray tracing side as well. It's a feature that's grown in popularity tremendously the last couple of years with new games supporting it and it's even being added to older games by devs and modders alike. It's a big focus for consoles and Nvidia, AMD and Intel with their gpu's improving their RT support with each generation of gpu's. It'll only get bigger.
It's ok, once I got an RTX card I used ray tracing for like a few hours and then never bothered with it in modern games.
DLSS however, that is sex, can't get enough of it. I was used to having to choose between image quality/resolution and performance, but now I get both.
@@ramonandrajo6348 lmao no its not... its always cool to see what an old game would look like with a modern lighting engine used.
I really appreciate the "Classic" version. I don't agree with some of the interpretations of the fully Ray Traced visuals here, and a LOT of them in Doom RT, even though I appreciate them on a technical level and in their own artistic way. The Classic renderer gives us something closer to a "definitive" experience.
In both games - they are configurable using config file ;-)
This is the best rt conversion I have ever seen. even better than official quake 2 rt imo.
doom rt is mindblowing
Would have been kind, or maybe even polite to link the github and somewhere you can find the relevant DLSS DLLs. They're both a google away, but come on.
DF happily makes money by monetizing this video that shows the mod but god forbid they put the link to the mod into the description. Unthinkable!
I had a lot of trouble with getting DLSS to work even with the github instructions, so I would definitely appreciate links.
Let's take a moment and give John Carmack a thumb up since he was the one fighting to release the scource code of these older games.
I can not wait for a Path Traced Version of Quake 3 Arena. That said, it's gonna be hard to find ppl to play it with.
Maybe Epic should release the Unreal 1 / 2 // Unreal Tournament scource code aswell.
They should!
But their "masters" would allow that, I afraid ;-)
Use 640x480 vintage setting with your screen resolution, for a raytraced 1996 look.
Best to also supersample down to that screen resolution so the RT engine has some info to work with

It's still difficult for me to comprehend that merely 30 years ago my then lightning-fast 486DX33 took about ten minutes to render a single picture in POVray at 320x200x256 - while now we're living in a world where fully raytraced games are rendered in realtime at 1080p60 and higher.
The mind, it just boggles. What a time to be alive!
It still takes minutes to render a single frame of 100% path traced render with a 4090. We're gonna need a bigger boat.
POVray traces every pixel and does more calculation than modern realtime RT does. Games do a very rough estimate of a small amount of pixels, then use AI to estimate what 95% of the uncalculated rays would be. Hence the flickery mess when you look at the raw data.
Feeling like this is the time to join the PC club. The mods for old games alone make the investment seem worthwhile to me.
Oh absolutely
Especially with RTX remix coming (the dev tools to remaster the lighting effects and more) for so many old games.
Definitely an exciting time. I’m genuinely more interested in these old games that you can add improvements to rather than most new games.
Yep switched to pc three years ago and my only grip is I waited so long. Mostly playing old games, 5-30 years old and its glorious. Getting dozens of aaa/aa games on crazy sales for like 3-5$ a piece.
The potential for playing older games is often underrated. You always hear about the latest and greatest as far as PC is concerned, but with a mid range you can have a lot of fun playing older games whereas you can use a PS5/XSX for newer games. If I didn't already have the setup that I have now and didn't have the money then that's probably what I would've done. A high refresh monitor with a midrange and a console. It's really nice playing older games locked to 162fps/hz with gsync and it always surprises me just how much fun there is to be had playing completely free mods. Games like Half Life 1/2, Doom, Quake, etc have an insane amount of mods to play that hardly take up any space on your drive. And midrange specs ensure that you can play some newer stuff and most indie games that aren't available on console.
Personally I have an RTX 2080ti and an i9 9900k and yet more often than not you'll find me playing older games that it's completely overkill for. At least RTX in these games somewhat vindicates that habit. My Xbox is meant for the few exclusives left and local coop for older games, as well as crossplay with my friend. Closest we can get to emulating splitscreen on most games nowadays.
Full RTX still runs pretty bad on games like Quake though. Quake 2 RTX with DLSS at quality and 1440p still runs at 30-40fps on my setup. But full RTX is at the extreme end.
technically you can do raytracing in quake in software mode on modern cpus
Just the thought of past gaming gems like Quake getting this feature set is staggering! Would love to see Halo Combat Evolved with path raytracing, just wow!
Playing it with that fake raytracing in reshade made me want it done properly so badly.
They've done such a phenomenal job with this. I just wish it was in the released into the main game and to actually make more realistic character models too as an option.
As with a lot of these things. There's good an bad. I loved the crispness, reflections, and water effects. The sky casting a purple hue, not so much. Seems that most things have menu adjusts, so certainly worth taking a look at.
I had to stop everything to watch this. WOW! Quake 1 looks great in Raytracing.
You should cover the new Arkham City Redux
Thanks for the info about this! Just tried this out on my RTX 3050 8GB. Runs at 60 with no DLSS and 120hz with DLSS Bal. I hope we see more old games with unfiltered textures get RTX. It’s such a unique look!
