1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,160
you know when you think about it 3D gaming is a bit of a misnomer sure in

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:10,320
many modern titles your character is moving around three-dimensional space as

3
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:14,679
opposed to the Sid scrollers of yester year but at the end of the day we're

4
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:18,480
gaming on flat two-dimensional monitors unless you happen to have one of those

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:24,240
newfangled curved displays but you know what I mean showing a 3D image on a 2d

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:28,720
display has long been an issue think for example about looking at a flat map of

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:33,760
the world on Google Maps which uses a map projection that makes Land masses

8
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:38,360
near the North and South Pole look way bigger than they actually are because

9
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:44,559
translating a 3D sphere the Earth onto a 2d monitor or map is an imperfect

10
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:50,000
process somewhat similarly your PC's graphics card has to project portions of

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,800
3D objects onto your screen a certain

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,960
way so that they appear to have the correct perspective and depth just as

13
00:00:54,079 --> 00:01:01,039
real life objects do computers do quite a good job of this in most modern games

14
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:05,159
if you're only only rocking a single monitor setup but if you're running

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,439
three monitors where the two displays on the side are tilted toward you you may

16
00:01:07,759 --> 00:01:13,880
have notice that some of your games look distorted and skewed on the side

17
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:18,880
monitors to understand the reason for this it can help to visualize your GPU

18
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:23,520
as a projector behind a set of translucent screens if all three of them

19
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,680
are lined up straight on one plane the image will look correct but setting up

20
00:01:25,479 --> 00:01:31,880
your monitors like this takes up a ton of space and limits your field of view

21
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:35,840
so most people tilt their two side monitors inward but this would make a

22
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:41,600
hypothetical projector display a stretched incorrect image on those same

23
00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:45,040
in displays enter simultaneous

24
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,840
multi-projection or SM SMP a new GPU

25
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:51,320
technology featured on NVIDIA's new GeForce 10 series that alleviates this

26
00:01:49,479 --> 00:01:55,920
problem by essentially showing a different camera angle on each screen

27
00:01:54,040 --> 00:02:00,600
going back to our projector analogy this is like having a separate projector

28
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:05,280
behind each screen instead of just one for your entire setup ensuring that the

29
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:10,160
shapes and objects look realistic instead of like poorly constructed

30
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:14,560
Play-Doh models but Teran doesn't that mean that my GPU has to render the same

31
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:20,200
screen three different times won't that kill my frame rates and make my $600

32
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:22,319
graphics card next to useless actually

33
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:27,000
most of the really heavy rendering of things like geometry and lighting are

34
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:31,920
done only once after that the multiple projections are created by using simple

35
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:36,280
trans forms that clip or squeeze the stuff that has already been rendered

36
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,280
which is much less compute intensive so you won't see a big dip in frame rates

37
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:45,280
the current version of the Tex supports up to 16 different projections so you

38
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:50,640
can have goodlooking visuals even if you have some sort of monstrous monitor

39
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:56,519
Arrangement a similar concept is used to push two slightly different projections

40
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:59,519
to each lens of a VR headset so that the

41
00:02:56,519 --> 00:03:01,599
3d effect looks correct technologies

42
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:06,159
that in Nidia is calling single pass stereo and lens matched shading that

43
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:11,680
compensate for the fact that there are two lenses and the fact that the lenses

44
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:16,680
are curved instead of planer and if you've noticed that I keep talking about

45
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:20,200
NVIDIA that's because right now s SMP is

46
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:23,959
only a thing on their new GTX 1080 and

47
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:26,280
1070 on supported games however as VR

48
00:03:23,959 --> 00:03:31,000
headsets and Surround gaming become more popular I wouldn't be surprised to see

49
00:03:28,519 --> 00:03:34,840
something similar on MD cards in the near future especially with their new

50
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:41,159
Polaris architecture right around the corner so like the North Star hopefully

51
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,560
SMP and related Technologies can point

52
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:48,000
you towards a more immersive gaming experience if you just can't get enough

53
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:53,760
screens in your battle station speaking of screens massdrop has

54
00:03:51,720 --> 00:04:01,120
another one of their pretty killer deals going on today the LG 34 5734 in

55
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:05,239
ultrawide free sync monitor I hope I said that correctly is currently

56
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:09,120
available over there at an exclusive low price this monitor not only features

57
00:04:07,239 --> 00:04:13,799
freesync technology to prevent screen tearing in your favorite games but also

58
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:18,639
has an IPS display for greater color accuracy four screen split so you can

59
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:24,040
output an image from multiple devices at once and black level stabilization to

60
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:27,759
help light up dark scenes of course this product is available only through Mass

61
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:31,759
drop at the significantly discounted price thanks to their group buy model

62
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:35,840
essentially the more people buy the more the price goes down to a set minimum

63
00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:40,280
with its minimum price being just under 30% below the MSRP you can check out

64
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:45,039
this drop and many others at the link in the description

65
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:48,320
draw. tequi so head over there now if you're interested that link doesn't give

66
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:53,919
