00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:12,000
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,759
Digital NVIDIA is starting things off on a strong note when you walk into their

4
00:00:13,639 --> 00:00:20,920
Booth the first thing you're going to see is three 4K TVs running in NVIDIA

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,680
surround powered by four GTX Titans

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:27,960
running in NVIDIA SLI and you are going to see project cars a game being played

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:32,840
by real people so this is not some kind of you know random Tech demo or anything

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,280
like that running at a very smooth frame rate speaking of smooth frame rate if

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:45,120
you look up above me you can see right there 4K suround gaming at 1.5 billion

10
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:46,719
pixels per second NVIDIA's got tons of

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,239
stuff they're demoing here game stream with Shield is obviously a big thing we

12
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:55,559
went in the back room when we checked out Tegra K1 they've got some amazing

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:01,199
demos running with face works as well as with Unreal Engine I mean it's a truly

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,440
direct x1.2 open G4 4.4 compatible

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:08,400
Graphics chip using Kepler the Kepler architecture Inside a Mobile form factor

16
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:11,000
so that was super amazing but really I mean if you guys have heard me talk

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:15,119
about gsync lately you'll know how excited I am about it and there was some

18
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:20,439
misconception floating around that g-sync was only going to support 1080p

19
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:22,119
TN panels but that's totally untrue

20
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:26,040
they've actually got a wide variety of different partner Solutions most of

21
00:01:24,119 --> 00:01:30,600
which will be coming out this year with support for g-sync but the one that

22
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:35,680
really grabbed my attention is is the uh pre-production one here at the end of

23
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:39,360
the line so they've got two ASUS 4k monitors running here one of them's got

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,840
their pendulum g-sync demo and that's interesting but we've seen that before I

25
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:47,920
wanted to show you guys the real world demo because normally you can't really

26
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,840
demo g-sync on video but in this case they've actually found a game that in a

27
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:55,920
real world scenario demos it incredibly well so they've built a little app that

28
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:59,520
Cycles between the different sync modes so you just press page up and right now

29
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:04,280
we're running in vsync mode so you can see we're here over the water fraps is

30
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:10,239
giving us a clean 60 FPS and everything runs butter smooth now as soon as we oh

31
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:14,680
yeah there it is as soon as we go over a populated area it starts to really

32
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:20,440
stutter because it's dropping down to 30 FPS due to the variance and how quickly

33
00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:23,680
the GPU can process these easy frames versus those more difficult ones now

34
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:27,640
we're going to go ahead and press the button again and I believe this is going

35
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:32,040
to drop us yeah there we go so we're up at around 78 FPS over the water

36
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,519
still looks very very smooth over the water where we can maintain that frame

37
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,920
rate but what happens when we go over that City oh look at that vertical

38
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:44,000
tearing all right one more time here one more time here okay so we're over the

39
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:47,800
water smooth smooth oh that tearing very very very awesome very awesome okay you

40
00:02:45,959 --> 00:02:51,200
can see it like sweeping back and forth so that's what happens with vsync

41
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:55,599
completely off now here's the last example with gsync we're not going to

42
00:02:53,239 --> 00:02:59,840
see any leg and we're not going to see any tearing a little Green Dot 60 FPS

43
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:05,000
over the water nice and buttery smooth smooth passing over the land oh wow look

44
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:09,159
at that nice and smooth because instead of dropping down to 30 FPS we were able

45
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,959
to drop down to any frame per second because gsync lets the graphics card

46
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:17,599
control the refresh rate of the monitor so if it's running at 42 frames per

47
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:24,040
second that monitor is running at 42 refreshes per second very very cool guys

48
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:27,799
don't miss any of our CES 2014 coverage big thanks to nc.com for allowing us to

49
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:33,000
be here at the show remember they're your source for great technology selection service we have a couple of

50
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:36,439
other sponsors Corsair memory as well as Western Digital huge thanks to them as

51
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:41,400
well because without them it wouldn't be possible for us to be here bringing you

52
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:41,400
