(English below) Quake II RTX es una versión oficial de Quake II con gráficos mejorados con el tan de moda raytracing. Hasta ahora no lo había probado en mi PC, pensando que no sería jugable, pues tengo una GTX 1080, una tarjeta gráfica excelente (la mejor que he tenido desde que juego en PC, a principios de los 90), pero no soporta raytracing por hardware. Otros intentos de probar juegos con raytracing fueron un gran fail, pues o iban injugables, o se me colgaban a los pocos segundos. Bueno, pues resulta que Quake II RTX si me va jugable... aunque con importantes sacrificios, claro.

Al principio enseño las opciones gráficas que tengo puestas, pero básicamente, lo importante es que tengo activada la resolución dinámica, de forma que el juego me vaya a 30 fps y reduzca la resolución entre un 50-100% respecto a 1080p. Y la mayor parte del tiempo, la reducción es de 50-60% (se puede ver en la esquina superior derecha). Es decir, se ve poco definido... Pero se puede jugar. La verdad es que podría jugar el juego entero así. Y bueno, desde que juego a videojuegos, los he jugado mucho más borrosos y por debajo de 30 fps XD En fin, cuelgo este gameplay por si a alguien con la misma tarjeta gráfica que yo le interesa ver como va.

Quake II RTX se puede conseguir gratuitamente en Steam y GOG, pero para jugar al juego completo, deberás tener instalado una versión normal de cualquiera de esas tiendas (no sé si sirve la original retail).

----------------

Quake II RTX is an official version of Quake II with improved graphics with the so famous raytracing. Until now I had not tried it on my PC, thinking that it would not be playable, because I have a GTX 1080, an excellent graphics card (the best I've had since I played on PC, in the early 90s), but it doesn't support hardware raytracing. In other attempts to test games with raytracing were serious fail, because either they were unplayable, or they crash after a few seconds. Well, it turns out that Quake II RTX is playable... although with important sacrifices, of course.

At the beginning I show the graphics options I have set, but basically, the important thing is that I have enabled the dynamic resolution, so that the game runs at 30 fps and reduces the resolution between 50-100% from 1080p. And most of the time, the reduction is 50-60% (you can see it in the upper right corner). In other words, it looks blurry.... But it's playable. In fact, I could play the whole game like this. And well, since I play video games, I've played them much more blurry and below 30 fps XD Anyway, I post this gameplay in case someone with the same graphics card as me is interested to see how it runs.

Quake II RTX is available for free on Steam and GOG, but to play the full game, you must have installed a normal version of any of those stores (I don't know if the original retail version works).
