00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:11.920
stereoscopic 3D gaming is one of the one of the ways that you can really take

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.679
advantage of the extra horsepower available in gpus even with games where

00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:22.000
you can already Max the resolution you can already Max the details and they're already running okay because what stereo

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:24.519
3D effectively has to do especially for

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.960
games that are not um very well optimized for example you're going to

00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:33.120
see Crisis 3 is incredibly well optimized for stereo 3D on the gForce

00:00:30.439 --> 00:00:39.480
GTX Titan so what it effectively has to do is render the image from two

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:41.000
different sides for each eye and then it

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:45.160
works with the NVIDIA driver to only show you one eye at a time with the

00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:50.800
shutter glasses that that make the whole 3d effect work so I wanted to take Titan

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:55.960
and test it against the other solutions that make sense for 3D so

00:00:53.120 --> 00:01:00.680
unfortunately I haven't actually tested any AMD cards because the last time I

00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:07.320
took a run at stereo 3D with the radon solution with uh with

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:09.159
dddd the 3D sort of third party firmware

00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:14.920
it was not a very intuitive setup compared to 3D Vision so I instead stuck

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:17.320
with my GeForce set up so I've got the

00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:21.920
GeForce GTX Titan which is the new card launching today I compare it against the

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:26.240
old Flagship the GeForce GTX 680 although it should be noted the GeForce

00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:29.320
GTX 680 isn't really making its way down the stack it's not like the Titan is

00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:34.000
coming in and replacing it at the same price point Titan is significantly more

00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:38.920
expensive than a GTX 680 so it's still kind of a flagship but then Titan's like

00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:43.200
a like a super Flagship or something like that and then finally my sort of

00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:51.680
you know my my banging for the buck solution which is two GTX 66 TI in SLI

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.759
so without further Ado here are my 3D

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:57.320
Vision benchmarks let's start with the one I

00:01:54.680 --> 00:02:04.880
alluded to before so Crisis 3 at 1080p in 3D Vision surround actually only runs

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:08.440
about 10% slower in 3D Vision than it

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:12.160
does just at 1080p on the GeForce GTX

00:02:08.440 --> 00:02:16.160
Titan now with that said the GeForce GTX

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:18.280
660ti SLI solution actually outperforms

00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:26.200
the Titan in this particular game in 3D division by about uh you know about 3%

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.360
or 4% or something along those lines but

00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:35.440
we do still see a clear separation of the Titan from the previous generation

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:39.080
ruler of the roost in Crisis 3 moving

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:40.920
along to Skyrim I believe the mods that

00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.840
we've installed kind of messed it up so again you can look at these results but

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:48.440
they're completely meaningless because we installed a bunch of mods that

00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:52.599
probably broke 3D in a very big way so for example the Shadows uh which are

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:57.280
sometimes a problem with 3D even without modding the game were were definitely an

00:02:54.599 --> 00:03:02.200
issue for us Battlefield 3 however did quite well in 3D so you can see Titan

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:05.319
and GTX 660 Ti SLI are neck and neck

00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:07.319
with the GTX 680 trailing behind so both

00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:14.080
of those other Solutions perform about 40% better than the 680 so it's starting

00:03:10.959 --> 00:03:17.239
to show it's not King of the

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:20.959
castl The Witcher 2 performs better with

00:03:17.239 --> 00:03:23.879
GTX 660 Ti SLI than GTX Titan I think

00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:28.640
part of this is due to the fact that stereo 3D is more about horsepower and

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:35.200
less about necessarily uh the the uh the frame

00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:37.480
buffer which is what GTX Titan actually

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:41.439
has in a big way over any of the other Solutions if we were to run 3D at a

00:03:39.480 --> 00:03:46.799
higher resolution hypothetically because right now we don't have any solutions

00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:48.680
that are above 1080p uh stereo 3D then I

00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:53.040
think that Titan would start to just absolutely demolish the other cards but

00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:57.840
right now we don't really see that so it looks like something like dual 660 Ti 2

00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:01.599
gigs or even 3 gigs in SLI looks like the ultimate solution for 3D well not

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:06.799
quite ultimate I mean you could throw a couple Titans at it and that would be

00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.280
more ultimate but in terms of at $1,000

00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:14.760
or less um something like a couple 660s or a couple 670s 660 Ti rather would be

00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:19.720
a great solution thanks for checking out my 3D Vision Benchmark video of the GTX
