What GameWorks Is And Why It Exists

GameWorks is a developer program set-up by Nvidia to provide game developers with a collection of graphics libraries and tools aimed at improving the visual quality of games. It includes technologies such as PhysX – Nvidia’s proprietary physics engine – as well as VisualFX which encompasses a number of Nvidia optimized rendering techniques and in-game visual effects. These include things like shadows, anti-aliasing, depth of field, global illumination, hair simulation, ambient occlusion, lighting and other effects.
Below you will find the VisualFX solutions as listed on Nvidia’s website.

VisualFX provides solutions for rendering and effects including:

HBAO+ Enhanced Horizon Based Ambient Occlusion
TXAA Temporal Anti-aliasing
Soft Shadows Improves on PCSS to reach new levels of quality and performance, with the ability to render cascaded shadow maps
Depth of Field Combination of diffusion based DOF and a fixed cost constant size bokeh effect
FaceWorks Library for implementing high-quality skin and eye shading
WaveWorks Cinematic-quality ocean simulation for interactive applications
HairWorks Enabling simulation and rendering of fur, hair and anything with fibers
GI Works Adding Global Illumination greatly improves the realism of the rendered image
Turbulence High definition smoke and fog with physical interaction as well as supernatural effects

One of the discussion points that Brian and I talked about which did not make its way to the interview was about the balance of trading performance for added visual quality, and how much performance was being lost for some GameWorks features such as HairWorks.

I argued that due to how intensive HairWorks is at tessellation factor x32 ( the standard setting for the feature ) many gamers, including ones using NVIDIA hardware, may choose to disable it completely in favor of improving the overall performance of the game. And that those gamers would have probably appreciated the choice of toggling between different tessellation factors just as they would normally toggle between different gradients of any other effect such as shadows or anti aliasing. Rather they are forced to accept x32, which is very intensive, or nothing at all.

Test market with mine recently..lucky if u get 1.8k with it..haha usually lower..

quite a nice price too bad im in penang .

Which one is better freesync or g-sync ? From what I heard freesync suffers from ghosting and limitation for refresh rate for example this mg279q is capped at 35hz-90hz

Gsync is capable of rates that range from 30Hz to 144Hz

Hi guys..selling my Zotac GTX 980 ti

Problem with Acer? Great panel, nice tech. But the cheapest ass looking glossy plastic and bezels as thick as 2008 monitors. Oh and don't get me started on the QC.... 
Over RM2k+ for a monitor, it is only right to expect something much better. It barely costs half as much to produce the monitor.

This is why I want Dell and LG to come up with their Gsync monitors. LG already makes their own IPS panels anyway, their curved screens has been doing pretty decent considering how niche that market is. So what the hell is stopping them?

Sheeet so fast

i thought the glossy part was only the frame not the actual screen 

if screen also glossy i might reconsider :/ cause that would be friggin annoying... (not fan of glossy).
*update

there i double checked
http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/panel_coating.htm
so the only issue is the bezel and stand. but honestly, as long as the panel itself is matte then i personally is that big a deal. Of course if another brand came up with a similar specs and performed just as well, but none of that glossy nonsense (when will they learn  ) then yeah i would recommend that instead.

but till then this is the way to go 2016 

PS:
according to online sources this particular model also supports internal programmable 14-bit 3D lookup tables (LUTs) for calibration. so you can caliberate your settings directly into the monitor, so even video sources like when watching mpc would benefit from calibrating this monitor.

the only color cons i can think  for this monitor is it uses the cheaper w-led, rather than gb-r led. Though considering everything else minus the glossy bezel/stand, i still think it's still way better than a tn panel. and it's got 14bit internal lut which is also to me important to have as bare minimum :}  *need calibrator though

Oh yes, I do mean the bezels and the cheap stand that wobbles pretty badly. It may not seem like an issue, but the glossy bezels do cause reflection and personally, it is extremely annoying for me. I know, because I owned several Samsung and Viewsonic monitors back from 2009 when glossy was like icing on the cake, everyone must make something glossy.

I agree the panel is indeed very good, there's really not much qualms about it. AUO has been doing a great job lately, over the last few years. They've really stepped up their game.

But like I said, the issue lies with Acer's QC. You can read up on other forums like reddit, neogaf, OCN even, there are numerous issues like terrible backlight bleed that just happens over a few weeks of usage. There many stories on dead pixels too, pretty much unacceptable for a monitor of such high price.

sorry , can explain the step again ?

The pc having both driver , one is intel and another is geforce.

The DDU driver uninstall tools cannot uninstall Intel driver right ?

Installing at Window 7 update driver at the optional section better or Using DDU better ? or just download the nvidia driver and get it install ?

Same graphic , didn't change anything , just wanted to update for some extra features

Seriously, the only things that are absolutely needed is the display driver and PhysX, everything else is optional.
People keep getting into errors because they just press next blindly.

One other tip.

If you don't use Nvidia HD audio, untick it.
If you don't use GFE and Shadowplay, untick it.
If you don't use 3D, untick it.

Physx is optional too.

went full retard and bought Asus MG279Q cannot wait for XB270hu  long waiting period (up to 1 month) got Ass Creed Unity and DLC as free game bundle together

the box kinda retarded as well for missing the Q but its the same model

dunno worth it or not in terms of price . But dayummmm the moment playing BF4 at 144hz feels like playing call of duty , will I miss G-Sync or Freesync ?

I dont know but IPS + 144hz is a whole new experience for me at least .

I'm planning to get the Acer from IdealTech next month once I save enough cash. I didn't know about the one month wait, meaning I'll only get the screen in September?

Over the weekend, Gordon Kelly at Forbes posted an article about Microsoft's botched Windows 10 Nvidia driver patch. Advanced Nvidia customers are furious -- for good reason. Thanks to the magic of Windows 10 forced updates, the good, old Nvidia driver was replaced with a new Microsoft-approved version, and all hell broke loose.
