NVIDIA has created a gaming studio to remaster classic PC games with Ray Tracing effects

This sounds great to me
Original Tomb Raider trilogy would like dope with Ray Tracing enabled, although that still wouldn't fix how the game controls like arse.
This is the best news I've heard all year.
My wishlist is huge.
System Shock 2
Doom 3
Deus Ex
Half-Life 2
Unreal
Morrowind
Oblivion
Unreal Tournament 99
Quake III Arena
Mechwarrior 2/3

If this follows the trend of the Quake 1 and 2 and the Minecraft Ray Tracing stuff. I'm all onboard.
I can think of several classics off the top of my head that can benefit greatly with realistic shadows and ray traced lighting. Morrowind being one such example.

Agreed, I don't even have a good enough GPU yet but I'm excited to see what comes out of this.
I read that, but they aren't new, they been around for several years already
We recently got some ray tracing for screen space reflections in Halo working, its pretty fucking cool.
I'll be really happy if Nvidia can push this forward, our results have been great. It brings out so many little things, you can even see the overshield now reflecting and moving it's light on the assault rifle.

WOW Classic please. My 9900k and 1080 Ti is running things flawlessy at 1080p 144hz. Make it work.
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 with ray tracing and fixed Vergil/Zero and I'll buy two Geforce 2080Tis
Hmmmm. I wonder what my 7thGen I7 GTX 1080 could do.
1080p 60fps???? >_<
Control worked just fine on my 2080ti with RTX+DLSS at 60fps+ with everything set to Ultra. Target resolution was 3440x1440
So yes, remaster old games NVIDIA

Don't you need an RTX card for it to work? Doesn't it has some special hardware for raytracing?
Can a GTX 1080 bruteforce it?
There was an update that allowed support for GTX Cards. But at much lower quality obviously. Then there was an update that gave a small performance boost for Ray Tracing to all cards.
Which is why I thought it might be possible for 1080p 60fps.
Bad headline, but yes it's cool that Lightspeed are focusing on this and expanding their numbers to help.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein + Jedi Outcast pls. Then Doom 3 and Half Life 2 when you're done there.

As a purist, I'm not sure how I feel about this. A few games is ok, but doing that to something a certain creator already made....:/. I'm not a fan.
I'd prefer them funding modern PC-centric AA/AAA exclusive games. It makes sense on so many levels. Intel, AMD and NVIDIA should do that all the time. I don't get it.

Lightspeed also did the Wii port/emulations on the Shield for Nintendo.
Agreed, the art direction in those games was made with a certain lighting in mind and changing it can break a lot of what was intended (Quake 2 itself look much brighter).
Yes, I'm aware. But the whole thing with RTX is that nVidia made something different in the hardware side of things to facilitate ray-tracing when using their own implementation. Quake 2 RTX on Steam has an RTX 2060 in it's minimum requirements.

Very cool, would be pretty wild in the snowy ice areas in big battles. Add it to the Halo MCC list for Scarlett/PC :p
2080ti is the highest of high ends atm. Try the same thing with a 2070 and you run into problems. And DLSS is also a disappointing part of the package that still needs work.
They just have dedicated hardware, meaning that if some games use their implementation the framerate tanks less dramatically. WoW will never use it, it's more likely that some fan will make something like that Minecraft's mod.
In the case of Quake II, it was free, and you can either play a few demo levels, or load your existing Quake 2 installation into the RTX version. So presumably future games would do the same, meaning you have to won/ buy them to enjoy the RTX features.
Diablo like in... Diablo 3? I don't think that game would benefit from raytracing.
This is such a damm good idea. Raytracing in modern titles is going to be hybrid for a long while, but the 2000s classics can have much more substantial reliance if not total reliance on raytracing.
Maybe they're working with Remedy on the rumored Alan Wake remasters? That game, while not being super old, could really benefit from ray-traced lighting (and maybe redo the facial animations while they're at it).
