Another fun one is AMD's Linux drivers support emulated ray tracing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT6qbcKT7YY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT6qbcKT7YY . This game won't even start on a newer/faster GTX 1080Ti Though speaking of a 1080Ti, that's a GPU you don't want to run on Linux because it lacks some Vulkan features for good DX12 translation: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/465 https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/465

Are you sure that the game will not run on a 1080 Ti? I recall Nvidia implemented Ray tracing in a compute shader for a number of 10/16 series cards: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/ray-tracing-gtx-gpu-driver,news-29847.html https://www.tomsguide.com/us/ray-tracing-gtx-gpu-driver,news... I ran Quake II RTX on Linux on a GTX 1080 Ti with RTX on back when I still had one. Of course, the performance was bad, but it ran. Some sites have benchmarks: https://www.thefpsreview.com/2019/06/08/quake-ii-rtx-performance-review/6/ https://www.thefpsreview.com/2019/06/08/quake-ii-rtx-perform... The RADV driver apparently did the same for ray tracing on Vega.

  I also no longer have one to try. It's pretty easy to find a video on YouTube of someone trying to start the game and failing with a GTX GPU. The specific Vulkan extension it's asking for is VK_KHR_ray_query. Looks like it was added to Vulkan spec in 2020, so after the Quake 2 RTX. It was implemented for GTX for about 2 versions and removed? https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/listreports.php?extension=VK_KHR_ray_query https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/listreports.php?extension=VK_KHR_... From this comment that mentions downgrading to that driver version removes another required Vulkan extension for the game: https://www.reddit.com/r/vulkan/comments/kdzitt/comment/m114i9h/ https://www.reddit.com/r/vulkan/comments/kdzitt/comment/m114...
