Quake II RTX Demo Gameplay

The cool thing about this demo is, if you have a newer version of Quake II, either the steam version or the one that came with the special collector's edition of Quake 4, you can install the full game and play it Ray Traced. I could not get it to install off the original 1997 disc, and from the steam community posts, that might be because it needs certain updates and patches for the RTX demo to find it for the install. Some did post that the version that came with the Quake 4 collector's edition worked for them.

All that being said, I love Quake II, and the RTX demo makes it look awesome. This is a new way to play through a classic if you have the means to play it.

And in case you still thinking about doing a Dell Optiplex build, here's the rig I am running:

Optiplex 9020
i7 4790
RTX 2060 KO
32 gig DDR 3 at 1600 MHZ (the max speed the motherboard supports)
An EVGA 500w PSU with a 24 pin to Dell adapter (The adapter is extremely important if you are gong to upgrade to a better GPU over the low wattage GPU's available, but even with the default, there are some good low profile low wattage cards)

I don't know if people are still interested in an optiplex build as tech has already moved forward, but in case you are on a budget, or just like tinkering. For me, I don't plan on upgrading for a long time, as this is more of an editing rig for me than a gaming one, but, as you can see, I still delve into PC gaming from time to time.
