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

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:10.320
many modern titles your character is moving around three-dimensional space as

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

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:18.480
gaming on flat two-dimensional monitors unless you happen to have one of those

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:24.240
newfangled curved displays but you know what I mean showing a 3D image on a 2d

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:28.720
display has long been an issue think for example about looking at a flat map of

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:33.760
the world on Google Maps which uses a map projection that makes Land masses

00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:38.360
near the North and South Pole look way bigger than they actually are because

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:44.559
translating a 3D sphere the Earth onto a 2d monitor or map is an imperfect

00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:50.000
process somewhat similarly your PC's graphics card has to project portions of

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.800
3D objects onto your screen a certain

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:56.960
way so that they appear to have the correct perspective and depth just as

00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:01.039
real life objects do computers do quite a good job of this in most modern games

00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:05.159
if you're only only rocking a single monitor setup but if you're running

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:09.439
three monitors where the two displays on the side are tilted toward you you may

00:01:07.759 --> 00:01:13.880
have notice that some of your games look distorted and skewed on the side

00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:18.880
monitors to understand the reason for this it can help to visualize your GPU

00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:23.520
as a projector behind a set of translucent screens if all three of them

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:27.680
are lined up straight on one plane the image will look correct but setting up

00:01:25.479 --> 00:01:31.880
your monitors like this takes up a ton of space and limits your field of view

00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:35.840
so most people tilt their two side monitors inward but this would make a

00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:41.600
hypothetical projector display a stretched incorrect image on those same

00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:45.040
in displays enter simultaneous

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:46.840
multi-projection or SM SMP a new GPU

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:51.320
technology featured on NVIDIA's new GeForce 10 series that alleviates this

00:01:49.479 --> 00:01:55.920
problem by essentially showing a different camera angle on each screen

00:01:54.040 --> 00:02:00.600
going back to our projector analogy this is like having a separate projector

00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:05.280
behind each screen instead of just one for your entire setup ensuring that the

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:10.160
shapes and objects look realistic instead of like poorly constructed

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

00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:20.200
screen three different times won't that kill my frame rates and make my $600

00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:22.319
graphics card next to useless actually

00:02:20.200 --> 00:02:27.000
most of the really heavy rendering of things like geometry and lighting are

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:31.920
done only once after that the multiple projections are created by using simple

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:36.280
trans forms that clip or squeeze the stuff that has already been rendered

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

00:02:38.440 --> 00:02:45.280
the current version of the Tex supports up to 16 different projections so you

00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:50.640
can have goodlooking visuals even if you have some sort of monstrous monitor

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:56.519
Arrangement a similar concept is used to push two slightly different projections

00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:59.519
to each lens of a VR headset so that the

00:02:56.519 --> 00:03:01.599
3d effect looks correct technologies

00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:06.159
that in Nidia is calling single pass stereo and lens matched shading that

00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:11.680
compensate for the fact that there are two lenses and the fact that the lenses

00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:16.680
are curved instead of planer and if you've noticed that I keep talking about

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:20.200
NVIDIA that's because right now s SMP is

00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:23.959
only a thing on their new GTX 1080 and

00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:26.280
1070 on supported games however as VR

00:03:23.959 --> 00:03:31.000
headsets and Surround gaming become more popular I wouldn't be surprised to see

00:03:28.519 --> 00:03:34.840
something similar on MD cards in the near future especially with their new

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:41.159
Polaris architecture right around the corner so like the North Star hopefully

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.560
SMP and related Technologies can point

00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:48.000
you towards a more immersive gaming experience if you just can't get enough

00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:53.760
screens in your battle station speaking of screens massdrop has

00:03:51.720 --> 00:04:01.120
another one of their pretty killer deals going on today the LG 34 5734 in

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:05.239
ultrawide free sync monitor I hope I said that correctly is currently

00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:09.120
available over there at an exclusive low price this monitor not only features

00:04:07.239 --> 00:04:13.799
freesync technology to prevent screen tearing in your favorite games but also

00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:18.639
has an IPS display for greater color accuracy four screen split so you can

00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:24.040
output an image from multiple devices at once and black level stabilization to

00:04:21.400 --> 00:04:27.759
help light up dark scenes of course this product is available only through Mass

00:04:25.919 --> 00:04:31.759
drop at the significantly discounted price thanks to their group buy model

00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:35.840
essentially the more people buy the more the price goes down to a set minimum

00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:40.280
with its minimum price being just under 30% below the MSRP you can check out

00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:45.039
this drop and many others at the link in the description

00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:48.320
draw. tequi so head over there now if you're interested that link doesn't give

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:53.919
us a kickback or anything but it does let them know that we sent you got it

00:04:51.880 --> 00:04:57.720
okay thanks for watching guys like it if you like it dislike it if you disliked
