I am guessing it's pretty cool and spectacular for the folks with RTX GPUs https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/quake-ii-rtx-ray-tracing-vulkan-vkray-geforce-rtx/

nice. downloading now to see how my new GPU runs it.  :) EDIT: never mind, only runs on the newest Nvidia cards (I thought it was using a cross-hardware ray tracing command, not a Nvidia specific one).
:rtfm: = me  :(

I am debating whether to start saving for RTX 2060 or wait another year or two.. It's tempting :)

If you take 2 years to save up you can get a better card by then.  :)
