Nvidia Creates a Gaming Studio To Remaster Classic PC Games With Ray-Tracing Effects

[64K]

Well, the push continues from Nvidia to get people to embrace ray-tracing. This is not about Quake 2 RTX as this announcement came after that project was completed. Possibly Unreal and Doom 3 are being planned. I would love to see both of those games remastered with ray-tracing effects. It would be enough to push me to grab that 2070 Super that I've been considering. Nvidia's statement below:

“We’re cherry-picking some of the greatest titles from the past decades and bringing them into the ray tracing age. Thus, we’ll be giving them state-of-the-art visuals while keeping the gameplay that made them great. The NVIDIA Lightspeed Studios team is picking up the challenge starting with a title that you know and love but we can’t talk about here.”

Games that were available to play with a choice of either ATI/AMD or Nvida Graphics Cards
wonder if your still have that choice or will these unmentioned games become Nvidia only.

nice advertisment tactic, this might be huge success if its welldone, ive pnetly oldschool game list, like to see a remaster with ray track effet

Half Life with RT ?

Nice to hear they are trying something new to push their proprietary tech.
But it does cause a bit of concern, so throwing cash at devs worked so well that they bought they're own.
And i don't revisit old games remade and then sold again for more money so I don't know how this will pan out.
It's a certain death toll for cross compatibility of Raytracing though too it's clearly Nvidia verses the world ie AMD, Sony and Microsoft, to get their version of Raytracing to be the standard.

I don't like they're chances, it took too long to convert quake too so this going to be two games a year at best.

Nvidia LightSpeed Studios has been around for a while 2011. Its in their android division they were porting games for Nvidia Shield.

Quake II RTX was ported by LSS. They have 28 Android ports and 1 RTX port.

Ray-tracing isn't an Nvidia proprietary tech. AMD will be providing chips to Sony that are capable of ray-tracing on the PS5 so obviously AMD is quite capable of ray-tracing as well. I suppose Nvidia could make the remasters run poorly on AMD GPUs. We'll have to wait and see.

RTX is using proprietary tech.

RTX does not equal DX12Rt they are not the same afaik games so far don't use both but i could be wrong.
Amd ,Sony and Microsoft will do the same things differently enough that Nvidia are now going to convert games, if you're going to quote me at least get my point.
It doesn't matter what Nvidia does the game will be made to run well on Amd console and consumer hardware but differently enough Nvidia might get excluded ir their performance reduced.

The point is will it run on RTX or are Nvidia going to have to convert those too.

Something is definitely cherry picked and it's not just the games.

Nah, it's just another "GameWorks" like thing, but for nVidia's RT implementation.

It is with how nVidia does it. To not expect that would be inconsistent with their past decisions regarding their software.

Nvidia, AMD and Intel (when they release their gaming GPUs next year) will all use some form of ray-tracing hardware because that is the next thing. No one is saying that each company will not try to dominate the other two. If they didn't then they would be poor businessmen. None of these 3 companies are running a charity obviously.

Half Life with RT ?

Would be amazing.

Quake RT was cool. A strange fusion of high end FX with old skool graphics. If Nvidia are working on other stuff, I'll check it out.

Well, true, but since the time is very much relative, time stamps matters, hence the keyword "will". PS5 arrives 2 years after RTX. Its 14 in dog years, how much is in ultra high tech years?
