1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,480 Not too long ago, video games were mostly an experience for whomever was 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,639 playing the game and maybe one or two other people looking over his or her 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:17,920 shoulder. But nowadays, people are not only looking for powerful rigs to play 4 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:24,640 their games, but also the ability to show off their Minecraft creations and 5 00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:27,039 illconceived Sim cities to the world. 6 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:33,239 With this in mind, NVIDIA recently rolled out Anzel, a new platform to give 7 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:37,920 users greater flexibility when taking screenshots. Now, I know that those of 8 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,879 you who are regular game streamers are saying, "Come on, 9 00:00:39,879 --> 00:00:44,879 Lionus. I can just take screenshots by 10 00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:48,960 screen capping my Twitch stream or I don't know, pressing print screen or 11 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:54,879 whatever. What's the big deal with this Anel business?" Well, traditional 12 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:59,840 screenshot capture is often limited by whatever frame your GPU is pushing out 13 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,280 to your monitor or to your stream at any given time. I mean, that's what you 14 00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:08,640 capture. So, if you want to show a precise moment in a particular game, you 15 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:14,880 have to hope that the in-game camera has things at just the angle that you want. 16 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:20,560 One of the key features of Anzel is removal of this limit by placing a 17 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:23,600 freely movable virtual camera into the 18 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,200 game that you can actually reposition to 19 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:30,080 anywhere that you'd like to get your screenshots just the way you want them. 20 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:34,640 In addition to a time freezing option for finer levels of control, kind of 21 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:39,759 like bullet time in the Matrix. And speaking of bullet time, there's also a 22 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:43,360 360 degree option that allows gamers to 23 00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:45,119 take a shot of the entire in-game 24 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:50,479 environment, which gets stored as an image that's properly viewable on a VR 25 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:54,479 headset like the Rift, Vive, or Google Cardboard if you want your gaming 26 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:58,640 accomplishments or memories to have that extra level of immersion. Another cool 27 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:03,840 thing is it gives you an idea of what it might be like to step into your favorite 28 00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:08,239 game. But if you'd like to show finer details instead of concerning yourself 29 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:13,440 with VR, such as if you like posting game walkthroughs online, for example, 30 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:18,959 you might like Anel's super resolution feature that will actually render the 31 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:27,200 frame that you want with super sampling for a clean looking image at up to 32 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:29,200 61K. So, yes, a lot higher than 4K and 33 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:33,840 pretty freaking cool if you want a massive wall print of your favorite shot 34 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:38,720 of your favorite title, such as the interesting scenery in games like No 35 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,080 Man's Sky. Built-in HDR and 36 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,760 post-processing effects, I mean, effectively like Instagram looking 37 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,840 stuff, will help you customize the look of your screenshots further without 38 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:51,519 having to use a program like Photoshop. But if you're a pro at image editing, 39 00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:56,640 you can actually also get the images in RAW format, so you can play with them to 40 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,319 your heart's content later on. But 41 00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:02,560 there's a caveat. There always is, isn't there? As good as all of this sounds, 42 00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:07,840 exactly which Ansel features you'll be able to use depends on the game. So keep 43 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:11,360 that in mind before you rush to try it out. The good news, though, is that 44 00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:16,560 Ansel is supported on quite a large number of recent GPUs. actually anything 45 00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:19,200 on the NVIDIA side that is a GTX 600 46 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:23,040 series or higher. So, you may not even need an expensive upgrade to start 47 00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:27,040 taking these fancy screenshots. And as the popularity of sharing game 48 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:31,519 accomplishments as well as home virtual reality continues to grow, I hope to see 49 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,400 something like this coming from AMD as well. I mean, after all, if you want to 50 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:40,000 show your friends what it might be like to stand in the middle of the world of The Witcher 3, it shouldn't matter which 51 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:45,440 team's card is proudly sitting inside your rig.
