My wee brother used to be the main healer in a fairly successful and tight-knit¹ World of Warcraft guild - we didn't have a lot of money to keep our PC up-to-date, so one of the older guys in the guild would post us his old graphics cards every other year. We used to get some buzz off watching those daft benchmark tests that often came with the mid-2000s NVidia cards - I distinctly remember losing it over a shadow looking like the player model it was being cast from.

Quake II RTX is basically one of those, and I'm logging it! It was fun to play at the same time as I'm playing the original (Yagami-enhanced) Quake II. I think the Yagami sourceport looks much better, despite not having refracted water or whatever. Nobody needs to see the Bitterman's reflection.

¹ (To the point of multiple married couples in the guild were having not-so-well-hidden online and IRL affairs with other members of the same guild)
