the CM Storm sf7 uses a massive 18 cm
fan to cool your gaming notebook and it adds a four port USB hub click now to
learn more all right guys before we get started if you're not entirely sure what
anti-aliasing is either click here or open up a new tab to check out Linus's
video on anti-aliasing and he can explain everything about it if you do
know what anti-aliasing is let's move on on to down sampling down sampling or
more properly known as ordered grid super sampling anti-aliasing or ogsa for
short or how lonus likes to call it Original Gangster
ssaa is the effect of utilizing your GPU's power to render an image at a
higher resolution than your monitor is capable of displaying and having it
rescale that image to the native resolution of your monitor instead of
just rendering the edges of polygons at a higher resolution like some other
anti-aliasing Solutions this solution is rendering everything at a higher
resolution all of the time which makes your game look great but it's incredibly
inefficient at the same time compared to traditional AA Solutions so if it's that
inefficient why do it well the main reason that I have is that sometimes a
game is released that doesn't have AA options or maybe just an onoff switch
which does something these options lack in games are usually crappy console
ports and the enthusiasts like us demand more so OG ssaa is our solution to for
Force our own AA into the game effectively doing the developer job for
them and making it look better with a sacrifice of a little bit of FPS but why
wouldn't you simply Force AA through the driver you ask well this doesn't always
work and even though it usually will work it may not be enough anti-aliasing
for you and if you have the extra horsepower you may as well apply it
speaking of extra horsepower you can mix ogs saaa with other types of AA so
whether or not you're injecting AA or if the game supports different types you
can run those different types alongside ogs saaa or down sampling to get a great
experience of your game this is mostly tuned in my opinion to older games that
your PC would traditionally be able to run without even really trying now you
can throw a bunch of stuff at it make it a little bit harder for your PC to run
but then it get a great visual experience out of the game I'd like to
thank a few people first off Tabo bur from the lus tech tips forums for making
a thread about this and making us realize that we should probably make a
video about it then next up is neoga's Corky who created an amazing simple and
very detailed guide for NVIDIA users and able to do down sampling over on guu 3DS
forums black zero also created an awesome guide for AMD users thank all of
you guys for making this possible and everybody if you're wondering how to do
this please follow a link below this video to our Forum where you can find
Tabo Burn's post you can find links there to Corky and black Zero's post you
can get detailed information whether or not you're an NVIDIA or AMD user this
video will focus on the solution for NVIDIA users this is because of how
ghetto and broken the AMD solution actually is that being said if you're an
AMD user and you're interested in doing this feel free to click on the link in
the description below which will take you to Tabo Burn's post which will take
you over to the Forum where black zero has a post on Guru 3D which you can
follow and try this out for yourself if AMD had a stable and in driver solution
we would have been happy to include them in this video as well for this guide we
will be using Windows 7 just a heads up to users for Windows 8 and 8.1 it may
not be 100% stable but you'll probably be fine so just continue along and I
wouldn't worry too much about it also for this guide we will be using a GTX
780 Ti because it's super strong and we can show you a ton of different setups
and not worry too much about performance you don't need a 780 Ti to be able to do
this at all I wouldn't worry too much about it another reason why we're using
this card though is because the modern cards seem to minimize compatibility
headaches and other issues along the way that older cards may have all right guys
on the Forum please post what operating system using what monitor you're using
and what graphics cards you're using and what your results were so that we can
get a little bit of a database going on of what works for me personally my
pa248q both of them were not able to go
above 2560 x600 but my LGA 2965 in the
office was able to easily down sample a
4K signal so I'd love to see what you guys are able to do all right guys so
the first thing we're going to want to do is go into the NVIDIA control panel
by right clicking on our desktop and then selecting NVIDIA control
panel once inside we're going to click on adjust desktop size and position make
sure the check boox is selected for override the scaling mode set by games
and programs and then click apply next under display you'll select
change resolution click
customize select enable resolutions not exposed by the display click create
custom resolution under horizontal pixels type in 2560 and under vertical
lines type in 1440 and then click
test hopefully it was successful click yes to save that resolution if the test
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
this list if 2560 X 1440p was successful
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
horizontal pixels you're going to want to type in 3840 and then under vertical
lines you're going to want to type in 2160 then click test and hopefully it
works save that resolution as well if it did
work for you then that'll add that to the list as well if you're stuck on a
certain resolution and you want to push it further and you're being quite
adventurous don't worry there's still some stuff you can do but they're quite
Advanced and very setup specific so please check out Corky's thread on neoaf
and post on our Forum with the different things that you try out there are some
manual settings you can key in but they're pretty finicky so it'll take
some playing around good luck so in terms of performance it seems like like
in Crisis 3 at least down sampling from 2560 X 1440p down to 1080p was about the
same as running 1080p with 8X msaa on
and Visually they look pretty comparable as well we're going to show some shots
here but I highly suggest going to The Forum and viewing them there as
YouTube's going to have compression and it's not really going to look right so
check them out on the Forum without compression maybe download them yourselves and again post screenshots of
yourself trying this out maybe in different combinations and all that kind of stuff to The Forum so we can get a
little of a database going on what looks good and what different setups work all
right guys thanks for watching if you want to tell me what you guys think about this kind of experiment Style
video post that in the comments below while you're down there don't forget to
like or maybe even dislike the video and subscribe if you want do all other kinds
of things while you're down there woo if you guys want to put input into
you trying out down sampling don't forget to put that on the Forum as well
and while you're there if you don't like the ads on the Forum be sure to contribute at any contribution level you
get rid of all the ads on the Forum and if you guys want a linest tech tips
shirt be sure to check out District Lines there's a link in the description you can get those there we've got some
really cool stuff coming thanks for watching I'll see you guys next time
