No. Quake2RTX will run on Radeon & Arc cards as well. The RayTracing performance will be lower.

Runs with GeForce 10 & 16 series as well, remember testing that with 1080 Ti

Software RT through the shader cores combined with the GTX 16's simultaneous FP16/32 execution (at least I think it's that). Not very efficient, but it works.

Ah right, forgot about that. Only tried it once, the result was a slide show.

Not necessarily, but they are kind of pointless if you think about it (unless there are technical limitations of running the original on a modern OS or display).

Graphics are part of the enjoyment for many in video games.

They are to me as well, but not an absolutely necessary part.

I mean, I love what the creators did with Black Mesa, but that doesn't prevent me from enjoying the original Half-Life, for example.

And it really shouldn't. A good remake shouldn't replace the original unless the original was not good in the first place imo. I think the Resident Evil remakes, at least the 2nd, and 4th one, are a perfect example of Remakes imo.

Or, conversely, it should replicate the experience exactly while upgrading the graphics. Make the same experience just a little more enjoyable.

We stray from the topic though.
