Just Cause 2 - CUDA Enhanced Water

[PeaceKeeper271]

I hate Fanboys.

[SuperPolzeath]

Water would be amazing if it reacted to your character, this water doesn't seem to.

[chileo1]

It annoys me boats never leave wake in games

[bigbrowncheifbottom]

i am amusing that AMD / ATI cards cant do this?

[NisseGamer]

@bigbrowncheifbottom you're right :)

[CokenOpi]

@bigbrowncheifbottom its not so much that they "cant" its just that they "don't"

[MrSpruceDread]

@bigbrowncheifbottom not necessarily. Some things ATI does that a nVIDEA can't. It's just the way they are built.

[Enivekdax17]

my urine looks better than that water. sorry

[MrJoaovictor1234]

:o omg

[18T220]

Crysis 2 DX11 tessellated water looks better without CUDA.

[ripelivejam]

it always bugs me in games like this how you dunk all your equipment (guns, etc) underwater

[Mrcena111]

sound sounds awesome :))

[MrExillion]

looks no diffirent to me from when i use my older AMD ATI Radeon 4650 HD... Just admit it the effects on JC2 are so badass that even Bf3 Sucks when it comes to water and snowy blizzards... it bugs me, but those swedes are DAMN good at what they are doing!

[08jminke]

@MrExillion well said, i achually havent got the game, so wat does a blizzard look like on this game, only played the demo, so i carnt go to the snowy bit.

[muglertf2]

man ... please answer ... what are your pc specs? i mean my pc cant handle just cause 2 graphs ;/ so id like to ask you what your pc is for inside so i can buy similar things...

[nGAGE0nline]

@muglertf2 Intel i7 950 / 3xGTX480 / 6GB ram

[nGAGE0nline]

@nmuglertf2 you don't need that much though. my pc is overkill and I'll soon be selling it.

[ATLMember]

@nGAGE0nline Jesus, 3 GTX 480s, you can probably heat your house those. Also, why no upgrade the processor?

[nGAGE0nline]

@ATLMember Everything is Liquid-cooled. And there's no need to upgrade the processor. It's powerful enough. I'll wait until I build a new system.

[ATLMember]

@nGAGE0nline The processor is bottleneck for those GPUs though

[nGAGE0nline]

@ATLMember at 4.2GHz it aint... besides, Tri-SLI support isn't as good in most games as regular or quad-sli support. Tri-SLI is not something I'll do again anytime soon.

[ATLMember]

@nGAGE0nline Well yeah, a single GTX 480 can max pretty much any game with full AA and AF. I would just buy a GTX 590 if you really want dual GPU

[nGAGE0nline]

@ATLMember Well, I do have 3 screens and can play surround too, So that's where multiple cards really come in handy.

[ATLMember]

@nGAGE0nline Why not buy ATi then? One 6990 using ifinity would do the trick

[nGAGE0nline]

@ATLMember I haven't decided yet what I'll do. It's already hard enough to find buyers for liquid-cooled set of the 480s or the entire system. I'll see what's next once I get rid of this one.

[Hoxapos111]

0:23 Hey I wonder which button I have to press to turn my WiFi on...

This? *push* Oh wait!!! SHIT THAT WAS THE PARASHOOT!!!

[nGAGE0nline]

@Hoxapos111 haha... something like that :D

[vici30]

this makes me thirsty

[crbbatista]

jeez i thought for a moment i was in the water uggg..

[Dreamphantom77]

Great video!! Love this game. Yeah it's PC ver. with xbox 360 controller. I have same setup on my pc. Can't really tell in most video's, but enabling cuda really makes a difference in how the water looks. Just hard to tell in most video's because of video quality.

[alexisfire999]

nope this is some lame water dx11 enables interaction with the water at a high level this just makes waves a emulation not impreassed i can do this in 3d max 2012 with 15 clicks

[stockfreisleben]

LOL! WONDERFULL!

[igenther99]

Advanced water! *throws person in* *no splash* :3

[omma911]

If someone invents a time machine, tell him to prevent me from becoming a filthy console gamer.

[calipo50]

game pad 360 = = x

[bjcworth]

press x ? how is that pc version?

[cmcrobiebobo]

@bjcworth if you use an xbox controller it has xbox buttons

[nGAGE0nline]

@bjcworth It's because I was playing with use of a xbox controller. Everything automatically adjusts to the xbox menu/button.

[bjcworth]

@nGAGE0nline oh that's freakin awesome then...thanks for the upload! looks fantastic!

[08jminke]

@nGAGE0nline can a raedon card do this

[nGAGE0nline]

@08jminke Officially, no. CUDA is a nVIDIA thing, though I don't see why ATIs couldn't do it.

[08jminke]

@nGAGE0nline its ok i have a nvidia car anyway , i was just been curious thats all, and your right raedon cards are definetly capable of doing this i sduppose it has something to do with copyright.

[nGAGE0nline]

@08jminke and software. CUDA is not only the hardware cores used on the gpu, but it's also the programing language used if I'm not misstaken.

[linuxrobotdude]

@nGAGE0nline CUDA is the language used to program the cards and also it requires a certain architecture of the "stream processors." ATI cards have more "stream processors" generally, but are not very general purpose like the ones in nvidia cards. The CUDA cores are capable of complex logic operations, loops, etc. If you want a similar type of thing on ATI cards, you have to use their Stream SDK, which I never really liked. I just upgraded from a HD 5770 to a Geforce GTX 560 2 GB and love it.

[JCX429]

@nGAGE0nline using a xbox controller on a pc is like going to mc'donalds and asking for something healthy, you just don't do that.

[nGAGE0nline]

@JCX429 Great way showing off narrow mindedness there. Was trying to find some examples earlier. Thnx.

[MajorMoneyMaker]

Dude that water looks gorgeous...

[hijay1]

I guess it just makes the water look better? or does it react differently when in a boat because it looks more wavy so does the boat rock around more?

[nGAGE0nline]

@hijay1 Don't think it actually does anything beyond look better, but I'm not entirely sure. I do think that it looks awesome.

[hijay1]

@nGAGE0nline Ok thanks, Yeah I agree.

[Niklasdiver123]

ummm this is not physx?

[nGAGE0nline]

@Niklasdiver123 water is enhanced with physx for a little more realism. it's not entirely physx based though.

[Niklasdiver123]

@nGAGE0nline this isn't physx, it is a effect for nvidia cards, but this is not physx, physx dynamic water works completly different.

[nGAGE0nline]

@Niklasdiver123 This isn't physX dynamic water. I never claimed it is. This water effect is however enhanced by physX.

[Nintendoguy5794]

Looks better than the Xbox version, I was thinking of getting it for PC.

[darkwolf961]

wow that looks like real water :P

[nGAGE0nline]

@darkwolf961 yeah... the water effect looks pretty cool. not perfect, but pretty darn nice already.
