1 00:00:01,959 --> 00:00:08,880 so to test a bit of a different usage scenario for the GTX 590 I wanted to 2 00:00:06,839 --> 00:00:12,960 have a look at its performance in 3D Vision in a couple of 3D Vision ready 3 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:19,519 games so one of the ones that I picked was Batman Arkham Asylum I'm running at 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:22,039 1920x 1080 so that is 1080p uh 4X 5 00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:28,720 anti-aliasing and all of the details are maxed out completely now what I did 6 00:00:26,119 --> 00:00:33,960 discover about Batman Arkham Asylum as well as one of the games that I was 7 00:00:30,599 --> 00:00:36,160 running in 3D uh Hawks 2 was that it can 8 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:42,440 pretty well run the game completely maxed out with absolutely no slowdowns 9 00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:49,160 whatsoever at 60fps so you can see the fraps counter up in the top corner and 10 00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:54,199 um pretty much no matter what I do in terms of gam playay it just stays tagged 11 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:58,160 at 60 frames per second so I haven't actually tested any of the other 12 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:03,120 Solutions yet but once I have a chance uh hopefully I'll be able to some kind 13 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:07,200 of a difference in the performance now I wish as much as the next guide that 3D 14 00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:12,119 Vision would support higher reses but right now the biggest limiting factor is 15 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:19,680 the displays or rather the display interfaces because DVI only supports up 16 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:23,040 to 1920x 1200 at 120 Herz which is 17 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:27,759 required for 3D Vision or it supports 18 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:30,400 2560 x600 at 60 HZ so we're pretty much 19 00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:34,360 stuck with 1080p as a maximum resolution so I just wanted to discuss the 20 00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:39,159 requirements for 3D Vision before I get into my results so first of all you'll 21 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:45,560 need the 3D Vision glasses uh either with the IR emitter or the wired version 22 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,240 that is uh just about to come out or uh 23 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,719 is already out depending on when you're watching this video you'll need a 3D 24 00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:56,000 Vision ready graphics card so pretty much any GeForce 8800 series and up 25 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,640 gaming grade graphics card is going to be okay for that and then you'll also 26 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:07,200 need a 3D Vision ready display in this case I'm using an ASUS VG 27 00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:09,479 23 VG 236 but you can also even use a 28 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:14,400 projectors so if you actually sort of look over here you know what I could 29 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:18,800 turn my uh light on here and then we' probably be getting better 30 00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:22,760 quality uh video but uh you can also use a 3D Vision projector so here I've got 31 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:27,120 an Acer 3D Vision projector that I've been tinkering around with in the last 32 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,680 little bit so uh yeah I'll be bringing some results to you I'm only going to be 33 00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:36,160 comparing it against High Solutions so I'm going to be comparing it against a 34 00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:40,080 single GTX 580 as well as GTX 460s and 35 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,080 SLI to see how they stack 36 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:07,280 up so hopefully you guys enjoyed the charts and graphs segment of our video 37 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,280 today uh so this 38 00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:14,200 is I'm going to try to help you guys interpret the results as much as I can 39 00:03:12,519 --> 00:03:22,400 here because some of them might be a little bit confusing like Batman Arkham 40 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:25,760 Asylum and Hawks 2 both show are GTX 590 41 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:30,599 performing pretty much identically to 42 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:32,400 GTX 580 SLI but also pretty much 43 00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:39,560 identically to let's see if I can find it GTX 560 44 00:03:36,519 --> 00:03:41,720 SLI so why is that well the reason is 45 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:48,879 that in 3D Vision you're capped at a number of different frame rates so what 46 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:51,879 it does is the driver takes the closest 47 00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:55,040 lowest frame rate that it it takes the 48 00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:56,959 closest uh fixed frame rate and it takes 49 00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:02,599 the highest possible one and then it it it stops it there so basically if you're 50 00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:05,400 in a game like Batman Arkham Asylum or 51 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:09,519 Hawks 2 where it always can run higher than 60 FPS it'll run at 60 FPS and 52 00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:13,640 you're in a g if you're in a game like Battlefield Bad Company 2 where you saw 53 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:18,759 two of our results were around that 40 FPS Mark what that means is The Game's 54 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:25,720 probably running somewhere between 45 to 55 FPS but the nearest fixed frame rate 55 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:27,919 is 40 so uh they 60 and 40 are two of 56 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:31,440 the ones that we do encounter so that's why those results are so clustered so 57 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:36,479 haw in Batman Arkham Asylum basically what we learn is that those games are 58 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:39,120 not limited in any way by these graphics 59 00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:44,080 card configurations at 1080p fully maxed out running 3D Vision now Battlefield 60 00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:50,759 Bad Company 2 on the other hand has kind of confusing results because you see 61 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:55,680 that those are my hot cross buns okay 62 00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:58,880 you can clearly see that the GTX 580 SLI 63 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:01,080 destroys the 590 by a margin that 64 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:08,600 shouldn't be possible because GTX 580 SLI is faster than a 590 but not by that 65 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:13,120 much so the reason for that is again the same thing so the GTX 580 SLI scores 66 00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:17,840 almost 60 frames per second which means that it was probably running above 60 67 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:23,280 frames per second but then capped at 60 frames per second for most of the uh the 68 00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:27,280 the uh the segment of the game that I played through whereas the GTX 590 was 69 00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:31,199 just under that threshold where it couldn't run at 60 FPS most of the time 70 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,080 so it had to drop itself all the way down to 40 which means that you get a 71 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,120 much leier performance in that particular title now I mean I had 72 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:42,120 everything pretty much maxed out you can back off a couple details don't get me 73 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:46,800 wrong you'll get a very very enjoyable 3D Vision gaming experience on the 590 74 00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:51,360 in batted Company 2 but that is why we saw the results that we did and that's 75 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:56,199 once again why the 590 was so close to our 560 result uh Metro 233 is the one 76 00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:02,560 probably the only one where we actually see sensible scaling so this game at 77 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:07,240 very high quality with everything completely maxed out in game is probably 78 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:11,280 too much for any of these Solutions so really I find Metro 2033 doesn't look 79 00:06:09,599 --> 00:06:15,560 much different on high the only reason I Benchmark on very high is so that I can 80 00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:19,759 just say all maxed out cuz that's a little bit easier for people to uh to 81 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:24,520 try on their own rigs to compare against my results so I guess that's pretty much 82 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:29,400 it that's all I wanted to say about it thank you for checking out this little 83 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:32,319 video
