Wish they'd do Hal-Life 1 with ray tracing because my video card might actually be able to run that one.

Quake 2 RTX can bring my 3090 to its knees. You could do HL2 but I bet it’d be about similar to Portal RTX

[–] Jmr@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe its because the RTX remix games are path traced which is alot harder to do

Quake 2 doesn’t use RTX Remix. Or at least wasn’t advertised as that being the underlying tech.

Edit: I think I misunderstood what you were saying. Performance with Portal RTX Remix was significantly worse than with Quake 2 RTX.

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Q2RTX is fully path traced, it was the path tracing tech demo before Portal RTX was.

What? Am I missing something? Several comments here about 3000 series not being able to handle what was easy for my 2060 to handle.

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Probably at different resolutions. My 3080 has to drop to 25% minimum resolution and/or sub 60 fps when using the dynamic resolution option.

That’s 25% resolution from 4k, which I’m not sure is 1080p or 540p because it certainly looks blurrier than 1080p at lowest res.

Portal RTX was "easy" for your 2060? I remember having to set DLSS to ultra performance at 1080p to get it above 30fps on a 2060s.

That's 640x360 internal render resolution. Around 1/10 pixels of 1080p

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Portal is one I haven't tried, but my working assumption until now was that I would have no issues.

[–] simple@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There is Black Mesa if you're looking for a Half Life 1 remake. Not sure if there is raytracing in it though.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Black Mesa was so fucking good it's ridiculous.

[–] Its_Always_420@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If it did have it, it'd almost certainly be too much for my RTX 3060. Portal RTX didn't work too well.

[–] NeroRecursive@jlai.lu 6 points 1 year ago

Don’t worry, even with a beefy config it doesn’t run very well (talking i9 10th gen, 32gb ddr4 and 3080RTX) so I doubt even half life 2 will run decently.

The cool thing about raytracing is it doesn't really matter how complex a scene is. The bad thing about raytracing is it doesn't really matter how complex a scene is.

If your card can't run remixed HL2, it also won't be able to do HL1
