WEBVTT 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 00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:12.960 have a look at its performance in 3D Vision in a couple of 3D Vision ready 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 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:22.039 1920x 1080 so that is 1080p uh 4X 00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:28.720 anti-aliasing and all of the details are maxed out completely now what I did 00:00:26.119 --> 00:00:33.960 discover about Batman Arkham Asylum as well as one of the games that I was 00:00:30.599 --> 00:00:36.160 running in 3D uh Hawks 2 was that it can 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:42.440 pretty well run the game completely maxed out with absolutely no slowdowns 00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:49.160 whatsoever at 60fps so you can see the fraps counter up in the top corner and 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 00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:58.160 at 60 frames per second so I haven't actually tested any of the other 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 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 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:12.119 Vision would support higher reses but right now the biggest limiting factor is 00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:19.680 the displays or rather the display interfaces because DVI only supports up 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:23.040 to 1920x 1200 at 120 Herz which is 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:27.759 required for 3D Vision or it supports 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:30.400 2560 x600 at 60 HZ so we're pretty much 00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:34.360 stuck with 1080p as a maximum resolution so I just wanted to discuss the 00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:39.159 requirements for 3D Vision before I get into my results so first of all you'll 00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:45.560 need the 3D Vision glasses uh either with the IR emitter or the wired version 00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:47.240 that is uh just about to come out or uh 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:50.719 is already out depending on when you're watching this video you'll need a 3D 00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:56.000 Vision ready graphics card so pretty much any GeForce 8800 series and up 00:01:54.320 --> 00:01:59.640 gaming grade graphics card is going to be okay for that and then you'll also 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:07.200 need a 3D Vision ready display in this case I'm using an ASUS VG 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:09.479 23 VG 236 but you can also even use a 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:14.400 projectors so if you actually sort of look over here you know what I could 00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:18.800 turn my uh light on here and then we' probably be getting better 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 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:27.120 an Acer 3D Vision projector that I've been tinkering around with in the last 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 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:36.160 comparing it against High Solutions so I'm going to be comparing it against a 00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:40.080 single GTX 580 as well as GTX 460s and 00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:40.080 SLI to see how they stack 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:07.280 up so hopefully you guys enjoyed the charts and graphs segment of our video 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:07.280 today uh so this 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 00:03:12.519 --> 00:03:22.400 here because some of them might be a little bit confusing like Batman Arkham 00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:25.760 Asylum and Hawks 2 both show are GTX 590 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:30.599 performing pretty much identically to 00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:32.400 GTX 580 SLI but also pretty much 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:39.560 identically to let's see if I can find it GTX 560 00:03:36.519 --> 00:03:41.720 SLI so why is that well the reason is 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:48.879 that in 3D Vision you're capped at a number of different frame rates so what 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:51.879 it does is the driver takes the closest 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:55.040 lowest frame rate that it it takes the 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:56.959 closest uh fixed frame rate and it takes 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 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:05.400 in a game like Batman Arkham Asylum or 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 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 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 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:25.720 probably running somewhere between 45 to 55 FPS but the nearest fixed frame rate 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:27.919 is 40 so uh they 60 and 40 are two of 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:31.440 the ones that we do encounter so that's why those results are so clustered so 00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:36.479 haw in Batman Arkham Asylum basically what we learn is that those games are 00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:39.120 not limited in any way by these graphics 00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:44.080 card configurations at 1080p fully maxed out running 3D Vision now Battlefield 00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:50.759 Bad Company 2 on the other hand has kind of confusing results because you see 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:55.680 that those are my hot cross buns okay 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:58.880 you can clearly see that the GTX 580 SLI 00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:01.080 destroys the 590 by a margin that 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 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 00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:17.840 almost 60 frames per second which means that it was probably running above 60 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 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:27.280 the uh the segment of the game that I played through whereas the GTX 590 was 00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:31.199 just under that threshold where it couldn't run at 60 FPS most of the time 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 00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:38.120 much leier performance in that particular title now I mean I had 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:42.120 everything pretty much maxed out you can back off a couple details don't get me 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:46.800 wrong you'll get a very very enjoyable 3D Vision gaming experience on the 590 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 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 00:05:54.720 --> 00:06:02.560 probably the only one where we actually see sensible scaling so this game at 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:07.240 very high quality with everything completely maxed out in game is probably 00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:11.280 too much for any of these Solutions so really I find Metro 2033 doesn't look 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 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 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 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 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:32.319 video on the 3D Vision performance of 00:06:29.400 -->
