NVIDIA to Bring Ray Tracing Upgrade to More Older Games
NVIDIA is hiring a producer for its Lightspeed Studios unit to lead work on a "game remastering program" that will add RTX ray tracing to more classic titles.
Lightspeed worked on the Quake II RTX remaster and was also responsible for bringing numerous games to Android through NVIDIA's Shield devices, including Half-Life 2 and even a China-only port of Super Mario Galaxy.
New games that supporty ray tracing could hhelp NVIDIA sell more GeForce RTX graphics cards.
Nvidia released Quake 2 RTX earlier this year as a free update to Quake 2. The RTX version of id Software’s classic shooter added global illumination rendering, real-time reflections, time-of-day settings, improved textures, and more.
