the CM Storm sf7 uses a massive 18 cm

00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:17,160
fan to cool your gaming notebook and it adds a four port USB hub click now to

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,000
learn more all right guys before we get started if you're not entirely sure what

4
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:26,320
anti-aliasing is either click here or open up a new tab to check out Linus's

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:30,000
video on anti-aliasing and he can explain everything about it if you do

6
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:33,920
know what anti-aliasing is let's move on on to down sampling down sampling or

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:39,160
more properly known as ordered grid super sampling anti-aliasing or ogsa for

8
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:44,320
short or how lonus likes to call it Original Gangster

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,719
ssaa is the effect of utilizing your GPU's power to render an image at a

10
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:51,280
higher resolution than your monitor is capable of displaying and having it

11
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:55,399
rescale that image to the native resolution of your monitor instead of

12
00:00:53,199 --> 00:01:00,000
just rendering the edges of polygons at a higher resolution like some other

13
00:00:57,239 --> 00:01:04,199
anti-aliasing Solutions this solution is rendering everything at a higher

14
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:08,240
resolution all of the time which makes your game look great but it's incredibly

15
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:12,320
inefficient at the same time compared to traditional AA Solutions so if it's that

16
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,400
inefficient why do it well the main reason that I have is that sometimes a

17
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:21,799
game is released that doesn't have AA options or maybe just an onoff switch

18
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:26,799
which does something these options lack in games are usually crappy console

19
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:31,759
ports and the enthusiasts like us demand more so OG ssaa is our solution to for

20
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,680
Force our own AA into the game effectively doing the developer job for

21
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:40,320
them and making it look better with a sacrifice of a little bit of FPS but why

22
00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:44,680
wouldn't you simply Force AA through the driver you ask well this doesn't always

23
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,200
work and even though it usually will work it may not be enough anti-aliasing

24
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,439
for you and if you have the extra horsepower you may as well apply it

25
00:01:50,119 --> 00:01:57,240
speaking of extra horsepower you can mix ogs saaa with other types of AA so

26
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,280
whether or not you're injecting AA or if the game supports different types you

27
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:06,439
can run those different types alongside ogs saaa or down sampling to get a great

28
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:10,039
experience of your game this is mostly tuned in my opinion to older games that

29
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,480
your PC would traditionally be able to run without even really trying now you

30
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,760
can throw a bunch of stuff at it make it a little bit harder for your PC to run

31
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:20,680
but then it get a great visual experience out of the game I'd like to

32
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,280
thank a few people first off Tabo bur from the lus tech tips forums for making

33
00:02:22,519 --> 00:02:28,280
a thread about this and making us realize that we should probably make a

34
00:02:25,519 --> 00:02:32,959
video about it then next up is neoga's Corky who created an amazing simple and

35
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:37,879
very detailed guide for NVIDIA users and able to do down sampling over on guu 3DS

36
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:42,040
forums black zero also created an awesome guide for AMD users thank all of

37
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,360
you guys for making this possible and everybody if you're wondering how to do

38
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:49,519
this please follow a link below this video to our Forum where you can find

39
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,599
Tabo Burn's post you can find links there to Corky and black Zero's post you

40
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:58,000
can get detailed information whether or not you're an NVIDIA or AMD user this

41
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,920
video will focus on the solution for NVIDIA users this is because of how

42
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,879
ghetto and broken the AMD solution actually is that being said if you're an

43
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,720
AMD user and you're interested in doing this feel free to click on the link in

44
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:13,480
the description below which will take you to Tabo Burn's post which will take

45
00:03:10,519 --> 00:03:17,680
you over to the Forum where black zero has a post on Guru 3D which you can

46
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:21,640
follow and try this out for yourself if AMD had a stable and in driver solution

47
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,560
we would have been happy to include them in this video as well for this guide we

48
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:30,959
will be using Windows 7 just a heads up to users for Windows 8 and 8.1 it may

49
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:35,080
not be 100% stable but you'll probably be fine so just continue along and I

50
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:39,480
wouldn't worry too much about it also for this guide we will be using a GTX

51
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:43,080
780 Ti because it's super strong and we can show you a ton of different setups

52
00:03:41,239 --> 00:03:46,640
and not worry too much about performance you don't need a 780 Ti to be able to do

53
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,680
this at all I wouldn't worry too much about it another reason why we're using

54
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:54,360
this card though is because the modern cards seem to minimize compatibility

55
00:03:51,959 --> 00:03:59,480
headaches and other issues along the way that older cards may have all right guys

56
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:03,439
on the Forum please post what operating system using what monitor you're using

57
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,319
and what graphics cards you're using and what your results were so that we can

58
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:11,519
get a little bit of a database going on of what works for me personally my

59
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:16,280
pa248q both of them were not able to go

60
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:19,320
above 2560 x600 but my LGA 2965 in the

61
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:21,239
office was able to easily down sample a

62
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,440
4K signal so I'd love to see what you guys are able to do all right guys so

63
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,840
the first thing we're going to want to do is go into the NVIDIA control panel

64
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:33,479
by right clicking on our desktop and then selecting NVIDIA control

65
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:38,240
panel once inside we're going to click on adjust desktop size and position make

66
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:42,120
sure the check boox is selected for override the scaling mode set by games

67
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:45,560
and programs and then click apply next under display you'll select

68
00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:50,240
change resolution click

69
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:54,560
customize select enable resolutions not exposed by the display click create

70
00:04:52,400 --> 00:05:01,280
custom resolution under horizontal pixels type in 2560 and under vertical

71
00:04:57,479 --> 00:05:04,120
lines type in 1440 and then click

72
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:07,440
test hopefully it was successful click yes to save that resolution if the test

73
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:14,240
worked your screen will go black for a second and then it'll show in the crazy resolution and then it'll show up in

74
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,720
this list if 2560 X 1440p was successful

75
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:21,560
for you and you're feeling a little bit ambitious we can go on and try and create a 4K 16x9 resolution so in our

76
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:27,400
horizontal pixels you're going to want to type in 3840 and then under vertical

77
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:31,639
lines you're going to want to type in 2160 then click test and hopefully it

78
00:05:29,479 --> 00:05:35,600
works save that resolution as well if it did

79
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:39,880
work for you then that'll add that to the list as well if you're stuck on a

80
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,960
certain resolution and you want to push it further and you're being quite

81
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:47,039
adventurous don't worry there's still some stuff you can do but they're quite

82
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:50,840
Advanced and very setup specific so please check out Corky's thread on neoaf

83
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,960
and post on our Forum with the different things that you try out there are some

84
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:58,199
manual settings you can key in but they're pretty finicky so it'll take

85
00:05:56,039 --> 00:06:02,600
some playing around good luck so in terms of performance it seems like like

86
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:10,560
in Crisis 3 at least down sampling from 2560 X 1440p down to 1080p was about the

87
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:12,479
same as running 1080p with 8X msaa on

88
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,639
and Visually they look pretty comparable as well we're going to show some shots

89
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,880
here but I highly suggest going to The Forum and viewing them there as

90
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:21,560
YouTube's going to have compression and it's not really going to look right so

91
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:26,599
check them out on the Forum without compression maybe download them yourselves and again post screenshots of

92
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:31,160
yourself trying this out maybe in different combinations and all that kind of stuff to The Forum so we can get a

93
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,440
little of a database going on what looks good and what different setups work all

94
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:39,120
right guys thanks for watching if you want to tell me what you guys think about this kind of experiment Style

95
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,840
video post that in the comments below while you're down there don't forget to

96
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:46,759
like or maybe even dislike the video and subscribe if you want do all other kinds

97
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:51,759
of things while you're down there woo if you guys want to put input into

98
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:54,639
you trying out down sampling don't forget to put that on the Forum as well

99
00:06:53,280 --> 00:07:00,360
and while you're there if you don't like the ads on the Forum be sure to contribute at any contribution level you

100
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,199
get rid of all the ads on the Forum and if you guys want a linest tech tips

101
00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:07,240
shirt be sure to check out District Lines there's a link in the description you can get those there we've got some

102
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:20,540
really cool stuff coming thanks for watching I'll see you guys next time
