New Ray-Traced Games and Experiences
GDC marks the debut of a variety of ray-traced experiences and games, including:
- Control — watch a new demo video from Remedy Entertainment featuring ray-traced global illumination, reflections and shadows.
- Dragonhound — visit NVIDIA’s GDC booth to check out Nexon’s upcoming online action RPG monster battle game that will feature real-time ray-traced reflections and shadows.
- Quake II RTX — uses ray tracing for all of the lighting in the game in a unified lighting algorithm called path tracing. The classic Quake II game was modified in the open source community to support ray tracing and NVIDIA’s engineering team further enhanced it with improved graphics and physics. Quake II RTX is the first ray-traced game using NVIDIA VKRay, a Vulkan extension that allows any developer using Vulkan to add ray-traced effects to their games.

About NVIDIA
NVIDIA’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, NVIDIA is increasingly known as “the AI computing company.” More information at
