Reality Check - Yet More PC GFX Explained! Motion Blur, HDR, Physx, and More

Boy do I hate motion blur I always turn it off and it baffles me when people mod it in. I always see it in "super graphic" mods and to me it always makes the game look worse not better.

Those episodes are super lame, because they explain nothing.

I already knew this would be a memorable episode.

thanks for the last installment Cam. much appreciated

Thanks for doing part 3, Cam.

The Ig Nobel Prize is my second favorite nerdy award, after the Darwin awards. Here's their official website, for anyone interested: http://www.improbable.com/ig/

Oh I never tried shooting cloth in Mirror's Edge :o that looked cool.

Auf Weidersehen ;D

Aside from the "dark to bright area" effect i never liked bloom.

It feels like a cheap way to hide flaws in the graphics, some games uses it way too much.

Great video as always Cam!

wonderful video thanks a lot

Another entertaining video, thanks!

Tress FX is such a goofy technology though... it looks good in a few circumstances but in general it seems to cause hair to stutter and fly all over the place as though it's way too statically charged. I've heard the effect looks better on AMD cards though, so maybe my Nvidia 660 Ti was to blame...?

TressFX Shampoo...bwahaha.

Always hated motion blur

I love seeing those fake adverts for hair products lol

Mmmm 60fps.

These Reality Checks were very good! Good work.

I don't get why motion blur is used to simulate how human eyes gathers information. My eyes can do that by themselves! Adding that to the game, just doubles up the effect, making it seem annoying to me.

Someday im gona have a super powered super vegito level PC that no one can handle it with unlimited tectures and graphics no oher pc can handle

Im a super pc dude with hyper technological gaming set up

Can anybody tell me what's the game at 0:58?

Way to give P.C. some love. This is wonderful. Even though I already know all these things, I still like reading the articles. Keep up the good work guys.

The only thing you need to know about motion blur is how to turn it off.

Danke.Gamespot.

This series was very interesting and informative, however I think I'll stick to console gaming. Keep up the good work Cam, I love Reality Check :)

a series(!!!@!!!) that follows juuuuust this topic, but in much greater depth would be pretty sweet!!!!!

(it would give you direction for several episodes as well)

TressFX Max Graphics. Looks like a promising product, though I understand it will only improve my look in video and not in freeze frames. Is this true?

Cool 3rd part, Cam! :-)

Just a minor complaint Cam, Max Payne doesnt use Ragdoll effects it uses Euphoria.

I've been waiting for this.... thanks CAM!!

Thanks for part 3 Cam! :D

Here's the best settings to use.... Max it the f*** out like me! :D

This was great, especially that ending! I for one have yet to understand why a game running at 60fps or even MORE still doesn't look as smooth as 60fps should (as compared to a video). I've heard people offer unconvincing arguments of "variable framerates" when I had 10-year-old games never dipping below 100fps on the likes of a 580 gtx or a 7970 on a 120hz monitor and STILL didn't look that smooth (i.e. as a video @60fps).

Tomb Raider looks better without tressfx anyways...

PC Master Race!!

I hate motion blur. Give's me motion sickness.
