okay so I'm playing Hawks on 3 Vision surround which is pretty cool now you
0:11
can see over in the right hand corner of the right hand corner screen that uh
0:17
this game does not fully support 3D Vision I actually can't even hear myself
0:22
talk here right now so uh anyway this game doesn't actually properly support
0:27
3D Vision but what it does work really well with is NVIDIA surround so you can
0:32
see that when I'm flying around um I'm actually going to turn I think this
0:36
turns 3D Vision off okay maybe this turns 3D Vision off no that just turns
0:42
the glasses off okay hold on there's some way to turn 3D Vision off I'm
0:45
fairly certain of it maybe it's this button yeah there we go so if I turn 3D
0:50
Vision off now you can actually see enjoy what I'm doing as well here so I'm
0:54
just going to turn around get back down to the ground find the refinery but the
1:00
the uh the surround gaming experience is definitely very cool in games that
1:04
support the uh the the
1:09
proper wow words fail me right now in
1:13
games that support the proper um field of view there that's what I was looking
1:18
for so I'm going to just kind of fly around a little bit check this out uh
1:23
this is running on two GTX 480 so I did
1:26
a video recently showing the entire rig that uh that I'm running this on and uh
1:32
I'm not actually trying to accomplish the mission here or anything just kind
1:36
of trying to show you the way you can see all of the scenery on either side it
1:40
makes for a very very interesting gaming experience cuz flying past something
1:44
you'll actually see it show up on the side of you when you fly past it it's
1:48
very cool and it also is a big Advantage when you're flying in towards enemies or
1:52
whatever like if you're trying to see you know suppose I'm zoning in on this
1:57
zoning I'm going in on this tank right and I can see oh there's one over there
2:01
so I can uh quickly navigate over and
2:04
fire missiles at that guy too hopefully before he destroys the stuff I'm
2:08
supposed to be protecting so anyway this is uh NVIDIA surround as well as 3D
2:14
Vision so the whole experience is pretty cool this game doesn't support 3D Vision
2:18
all that well but what I'll do is I'll find some other games that do support 3D
2:21
Vision really well and I'll make a couple other videos with those too so
2:24
thank you for checking out my video blog don't forget to subscribe and uh yeah
2:28
this is a pretty cool experience in three times HD resolution can you see it
2:33
pretty good from there with the camera pretty good shrug okay cool
2:39
that's good thank you for watching so the cameraman suggested that
2:45
this might be a better angle sitting directly behind the screens to properly
2:49
enjoy the uh NVIDIA surround gaming experience I'm going to fly in between
2:53
these buildings if I can yeah there you go so you can really enjoy the
2:57
Landscapes and uh really it gives you
3:00
that that peripheral vision you don't really focus too much on the uh on the
3:05
screens to the right and to the left but it just gives you that much more
3:08
perspective on your surroundings like I can be flying sort of in the middle of
3:13
nowhere but then I can really see like where the target I'm protecting is and
3:17
if I accidentally fly into the ground I guess I can I can watch the ground more
3:21
carefully make sure that doesn't happen maybe we'll do it on purpose here let's
3:24
see what happens if I fly into the refinery there you go so when you're
3:29
looking at it from overhead that's actually pretty cool
