  • i hate it when there is no links

  • I'm scared of water... And this video scared me

  • I can run this demo on my Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS GPU

  • beautiful view of the blue water.

  • Hmm the graphics looks more like a n64

  • It looks too realistic to be real water.

  • Fake! this video is from a fishing documentary

  • @ItsKoala1 do you see the water?

  • incredible...

  • too bad with the exception of crysis 2 DX11, there won't be a game using that kind of technology

  • @SpadeAce90 You're wrong. This new graphical feature is actually very stupidly easy to make on any 3D software. The hardest part of water is mostly the foam + waves which requires a lot of set up to have stunning visual result.

    Easy to make = Less time designing game = Profit.

  • @SpadeAce90 Yes the Frostbite 2 engine will use DX11 tesselation

  • pa just go to blooy beach or run a bath real will always be better

  • I thinked that was CryEngine 3 with DX11 ;)

  • @iTzDANiiEL i tried i mean everything is fine like my 1600 WAtt power supply with 24 GB Of GDDR3 with a i7 extreme edition,But it says my graphics card sucks and you should change it.

  • @mstrx21 Why the fuck are you still running such a shitty old GPU in a system like that?

    WHAT WERE YOU THINKING

  • @mungomillion So,what should i change it too?RADEON?Nvidia?or should i get a 3DFX voodoo card :P

  • @mstrx21 Naw, don't get a Voodoo. I'd grab an Nvidia EVGA card. Just make sure you register it on the EVGA website otherwise you won't get the lifetime warranty.

    PS: A good card will likely cost you between $350 - $750.

  • @mungomillion but i would need to get a new motherboard to fit that card on my system.

  • @iTzDANiiEL i tried but it won't work.I have a voodoo 2 12 MB over clocked graphics card with a i7 4 core extreme edition with 24 GB of GGDR3 RAM,with a 1600 watt power supply,this is my dad's computer.

  • Nice shader. Now, can it change direction according to wind ETC? :D

  • would this work on a Voodoo 2 12 MB graphics card?

  • Damn that looked awesome.

  • I dont find consoles that bad actually...Id just prefer a pc...People complain about games being downgrade for consoles and that aint the case. People PIRATE games on the pc so i dont blame companys for putting shit out on consoles....Now start trolling you kids

  • se ve practicamente real!

  • Where is your little kid console now?!

  • Very nice, but what is with the thumbprint type mark that goes over the sky and water?

  • are you sure thats not actually the real ocean lol

  • Grand Theft Auto 5 Water xD

  • it doesn't take 5 thousand dollars to build a computer that runs games on max settings :v

    well im glad the U.S. has Newegg.com

  • Consoles cant do this

  • what windows has dx11?

  • @playmovie696 windows 7, vista might have it too.

  • @omfgitsmichael1 thanks.

  • It's so beautiful.

    

  • omg, i was looking for actual real water, real ocean water it gave me this vid

  • dx12 where u at

  • @theuncanspan I think this is dx12 o.0 Oh gad that means dx13 will surpass reality! D: Cant wait =)

  • not impressed. sorry

  • @GR3B3N have you ever seen an ocean? or any type of water?

  • My eyes don't see obvious patterns in the water, Therefore you have succeeded in building a virtual ocean.

  • wow that is crazy this is so cool

  • would be nice to have the bubbling effect seen in real life. you know where it's a little white. still looks great though. reminds me of crysis.

  • i have NEVER seen water rendered with bubbling effect.

  • will my pc run this max pls pls

    amd phenom II six core 1100t 3.3gigs

    16gb ddr3 1600mhz of rams

    gtx 570

  • @ELPRESADORi

    What do you need that pc for if you don't even know what it will do? Sigh. Give it to someone who knows what he does.

  • Looks like finding Nemo in the beginning

  • direct x11 = marketing gimmick.

  • ahahahahahaha where are the games that can render this LMAO....Most of the games of 2011 are console portsor are on all platforms. So much for the stupid direct x11 bullshit. Congratulation! YOu have just been scammed by these mother fuckers NVIDIA andd ATi NEED TO DIE!

  • @antripod123 why? they are the ones that make the graphics chips for the consoles too, fucking idiot.

  • @MurderDeathKill01

    Meh...there will be another manufacturer that will make graphics cards. I am sure intel would love too seing how they are investing in hybrid technology(CPU/GPU combo).

    You can't deny what I said above is true you know?

  • @antripod123 Although that's true I really don't give a damn because these DX11 cards can perform much better then the DX10/9 gen cards.

  • That's redonculous!

  • Whatever DX can do, I believe OpenGL can do it better.

  • @LunaVorax OpenGl is worse in optimization, and DirectX can do anything can do OpenGL

  • tessellation is available on the crysis photorealistic map!!

  • Nice demos, maybe PC's will get games one day so I can play a game that looks like this.

  • Comment removed

  • @HorrorAngel666 we already have them ;)

  • Show me ONE pc game with this level of graphics. No?

  • @Dudenorge crysis, farcry 2. only pc is capable of these graphics

  • @Dudenorge Crysis , Far Cry 2 , Stalker Clear Sky , Stalker Call of Prypiat , Sacred 2 , Cryosatsis , The Chronicles of Riddick : Dark Athena , Starcraft 2 ... want more ?

  • @torrasque2007 Far Cry 2 wasn't an exclusive.

  • @torrasque2007

    LOL crysis is the only game on that list that comes close to rendering like this, the rest don't even come close.

  • @antripod123 Just Cause 2 , Stalker call of Prypiat , Starcraft 2 , Two Worlds 2 ... shall i continue ?

  • @torrasque2007

    Just cause 2 maybe, but no way in hell Stalker/Starcraft 2(a direct x9 game btw) two worlds 2 lmao...that game is so bad it's a cheap stab at oblviion.

  • @antripod123

    Gears of War 2 had good looking water.

  • @antripod123 Stalker CoP Isn't only dx9, it goes up to dx 11 :D

  • @antripod123 Silent hunter 5 is the best

  • @x8xasdf hell yeah

  • @SuperVkg

    Already know it and that's direct x10 not 11...I've yet to be impressed by so called tessellation.

  • @antripod123 watch?v=GcjsZEdRFIw&feature=re­lated to see the REAL power of cryengine 2

  • @antripod123 Empire Total War naval battles have pretty good ocean renderings as well.

  • @antripod123

    next to crysis Silent Hunter V had a great ocean mod - really life like

  • @antripod123 I disagree, Crysis is not the only game that can render shaders at this level. Unreal Development Kit can make some pretty realistic shaders that are as complex as this. ID are working on an engine that would be able to easily handle this quality also.

  • @xXSythenXx thank you for reminding me how much I miss getting info on Rage, it kinda dropped off the map.

  • @S0ryiu Yeah, Rage did disappear for a bit.

  • @antripod123 wait , how about two worlds 2?

  • @antripod123 Just Cause 2 is pretty up there too.

  • @antripod123

    Have you already tried Silent Hunter?

  • @antripod123 I've seen several fan made mods for unreal 3 that come close, though they were never finished and aer practically unplayable.

  • @antripod123 because its on PC shit consoles cant do this.

  • @antripod123 well there is no game yet but there is a free rendering engine that can achieve similar effects as the crytec game engine and that is the ogre realtime render engine if that were used in game engines we would have cheaper game engines that even the average joe can afford besides the $100+ game engines we see today. (and yes I now about the untiy game engine but that is only to directx 9 and doesn't support linux.) Long story short ogre can do all new technolgies ex. DX11 and opengl4

  • @antripod123 Ever seen the water in uncharted 3?

  • @antripod123 And here comes battlefield to save the day...

  • @antripod123 Crysis? Yea right.

  • @Dudenorge Ship Simulator Extremes.

  • @Dudenorge

    lol...so true, and idiots will fall for this scam by the graphics card companies....

  • @Dudenorge Crysis

  • dont expect much in gaming graphics in nex gen consoles and pc games!!

    nvidia is been making this type of teh demos for long time!

    nex gen will be all bout motion gaming and 3d and physx

  • Sad day for console fanboys.

  • @arup02 not really a sad day for console fanboys, in my opinion, it is telling me that new gen console is coming to us.

  • @qskyq maybe.

  • lol top-comments are ownage :D

  • It looks a little too uniform, and the sky doesn't look all that great. Other than that it is utterly amazing, and gets me excited for upcoming "real time" graphics.

  • @webeglitchin If you have ever been at see, you will know the regularity of the water well.

  • @Gusdor I guess living in Daytona, Florida and owning a boat which we regularly use doesn't count? 

  • @webeglitchin Everyone knows the water in Florida is extra chaotic. Its a scientific fact. That means no arguing! :D

  • mafia II uses this feature , no ?

  • it is the most stupid thing to compare a gaming console to pc... seriously it is the dumbest and unacceptable...

  • WHhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooo­ Welcome to bikini bottom !

  • waaauuu

  • I just creamed my pants

  • @PointlessNothing pppffff. i don't why you would put creme in your pants.... your silly

  • dx11 with Nvidia? that makes no sense...

  • ATI is the best

  • @TheMozz95 GTX 580 is faster then any othe rgpu though

  • @cokefan3 the gtx 480 is faster , the 580 is between 470 and 480

  • @wasssabio nonono, the 580 is for better then the 480. The HD 6870 is between 5750 and 5850

  • @cokefan3 not really the 6870 is a light version of the 5870..but has higher clock speeds...so i guess 6870 = 5870

  • @Kakadutuber No... the 6870 < 5870. A 5870 outperforms the 6870 and hence the 6870 is cut down half the price of the 5870. It's set below the 5870

  • @cokefan3

    benchmarks man..benchmarks...

  • @Kakadutuber link it to me, pm

  • @cokefan3 hmm okay sry...you`re right...I guess I got confused by some things in here....sry

  • @cokefan3 ok thanks!! :)

  • Holy Shi'ite Muslim Clerics!

  • this is a real image, don't be fool

  • @Atecep92 LOL yes PCGH makes a joke on you and ofcourse NVIDIA too! I mean why not?

  • @Atecep92 it's not real it's called 3D rendering takes allot of hours just to make a couple of seconds of this rendering

  • ive seen better

  • @presbarkeep duh this is from april 2009 lmao AND don't forget this is REALTIME obviously animated rendered ones are going to look realer because they aren't in real time

  • WoW

  • @Regalcow

    Lmao xD

    This looks amazing.

  • 44 people can't swim.

  • @Regalcow lol !

  • OMG I WANNA SWIM IN THAT WATER!!

  • just looks like crysis to me

  • What exactly do the directx's do?

  • Can you download this?

  • Water is probably one of the hardest things to render realistically. This is nothing short of impressive.

  • @gaijinblow i always thought the ground would be the hardest cause when ever u zoom into it it looks like paint

  • @bleedadream777 But the ground's appearence it to do with texturing, not realistic animation like this water is. Realistic dynamic realtime water is ever harder, because it can't be rendered in advanced and things (such as the player) can then interact with water.

  • @BarnabyPanton alright ty for help

  • @bleedadream777 Yeah what barnaby said. Ground mostly consists of texture data. So the more realistic texture is, the more realistic ground looks. If you're trying to say that ground should draw individual grass plants, then yes it would be complex rendering but only because there are so many things that need to be drawn. Water is a lot different like Barnaby said. Realistic water is very hard to do because then you would need to add physics on water interaction.

  • @gaijinblow very true

  • Let's put it on GTA V!

  • sorry, but the waves look ways too similuar....cryengine is better (and it was made 3 / 2 years ago)

  • its very Interisting

  • where are the ps3/xbox360 fan boys?

  • @allaboutgamez

    If you look carefully, I think you can see them in the bottom.

  • @Murissokah LOL ^_^

  • @allaboutgamez here

  • @allaboutgamez this is like the pc forums....?

  • @allaboutgamez drowned

  • @allaboutgamez im a console gamer but i think that the PC has better graphics. do i count as a "fanboy"?

  • @MrAmorbis nope fanboys are those who think that they console is the best only because they own it

  • @allaboutgamez at best buy getting a new computer

  • @allaboutgamez

    play in awesome games.

  • @Optimusop like? bad company 2 with controller and directx 9 graphics!? there is no almost one good game for consoles that is not available for computer

  • @allaboutgamez the only console we should give credit is the ps3 only because it has a 8 core cpu @ 3.2 GHz which the crappy 7900 GTX kills it....and makes it shit..(i own a custom built pc)

  • @camargo2012 You will find that quite a lot of your custom pc hardware is used to run the hardware agnostic software platforms that your pc games hinge upon - directx, windows, device drivers. Consoles have the advantage of being able to make assumptions about the hardware capability which is how such dated technology still pumps out rather great looking games.

  • @Gusdor LOL, go look some videos of crysis and GTA 4 at max settings and then talk about graphics:

    watch?v=FNxLRKzgMfE

    watch?v=uSYmXEdN2ls

  • @camargo2012 the ps3 doesnt have 8 cores, it got one core, in 8 partions lol

  • @allaboutgamez Wheres the new pc games?

  • @StonedAssassinNZL Didn't hear? Starcraft II just came out (Got a 9.5 from Gamespot, much better reviews than any recent console exclusive). Plus Diablo 3 is on the way and looks amazing, not to mention S.T.A.L.K.E.R: CoP and all. Plus Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Hailed as one of the best survival horror game ever). Not to mention PC's get to emulate everything from the Wii, PS2, DS, PSP etcetera.

    Overall, there is no shortage of great PC titles coming out, sorry, bro.

  • @gamekidillon12 Diablo 3 looks seet yes :) and i like company of heroes but you gotta admit they iant alot these days

  • @allaboutgamez waiting to hit puberty and realise that pc gaming is the way to go

  • @azorulz lol that's what happened to me.

  • @azorulz

    Hit puberty then realise graphics (though nice) aren't everything. Give me Final Fantasy 7 over Crysis any day

  • @azorulz it takes a 5k dollar computer system to take full advantage of the awesome graphics of a pc though. not only that, you gotta worry about drivers and updating and blah blah blah. xbox 360 isn't far from pc graphics, and plus come on xbox 360 is straight up plug and play. when you hit puberty and have to WORK for everything you own, you don't wanna have to come home to a computer that isn't running something right because a buggy driver or some shit. console all the way

  • @IngloriousSob 5K.....where the hell are you buying your computers from......i got my pc for 1.9K and it came with a high end keyboard, mouse and headset plus 22" Full HD LED monitor and it can run any game easy on max settings......

    Xbox is easier to set up obviously, but it is in actuality pretty far from pc graphics, and i've never had a problem with buggy drivers but that could just be me

  • @IngloriousSob I seriously have no idea how you came up with a price tag of 5,000 USD... I bought a top-notch computer for 1,500 EUR... That's just a bit over 2,100 USD... I can run any game on max. But get this: I can emulate your all-mighty console on my PC, plug in a modified x360 controller and play the games you are playing without having to buy a 300 EUR black brick.

  • @IngloriousSob guess you dont know anything about computers. consoles use DX9 which means it can have more fps. It also runs in 1280x720. PCs can go 2560x1600. consoles doent have anti aliasing which means Jagged lines on all objects. and you can buy a PC that is as good as a console for $200. Unless you buy ATI then any retard will not get a buggy driver from nvidia cards.

  • @marioluigi321

    What are you talking about? Of course consoles use antialiasing, even the N64 had it. And while you're right in saying that the hardware nowadays consoles use is outdated, it's also more optimized for gaming than anything you would find in a normal market.

  • @narutofan9999 well most games use anti-aliasing and 1080p and most dont. The game that has these 2 and good visuals are racing games. Racing games have 1080p and AA. MOstly because it doesnt take a high end PC to play it. i could play need for speed on max settings with a GT230 and it would get 40fps tops. earlier games are a great example. look at GTA4 the jagged lines stood out like heck and it was 720p. Modern games have better engines so it does utilize better graphics but not that much.

  • @azorulz

    Its the way to go if you can afford it.

    To be running the newest games at max settings costs ALOT more than a console does. Im still saving!

  • @allaboutgamez they went to buy pc's cause consoles suck

  • @benry200 looooooooooooooooooooooool

  • @allaboutgamez playing exclusives

  • @TurkishCoD World of warcraft. PC exclusive. Most succesful game in gaming history. Problem?

  • @Xarieus negative. Most gay fucking game ever. Any 'real' pc gamer will tell you that. It's a bunch of fat fucks knowing they will never survive socially in the real world, so they feel the need to spend their parent's money on fake elf titties and quests to give ogres blowjobs. This coming from a core gamer.

  • @MurderDeathKill01 It doesn't change the fact its the most successful game, and PC exclusive idiot. And those are lame stereotypes. I don't even play WoW btw.

  • @MurderDeathKill01 By that logic, anyone who plays any game (most probably PC/online) are fat and socially awkward... that's all WoW is, another game. How a game actually affects your social life and eating habits baffles me, please explain. If this is due to WoW being a very big time sink due to the activities within that game requiring an apparent majority of your time, then surely being a 'core' gamer is the same thing which makes YOU fat and socially awkward.

  • @BokoNOM please dont argue about WoW on my internet you fat socially awkward tool

  • @SuperVkg I don't play WoW, so nice logic there. It's also not your internet you greedy fuck.

  • @MurderDeathKill01 oh i do agree with that. mmorpgs, any of the lot, are viruses. chores, work, not games. i hate the whole genre wholeheartedly and i'm not even a "pc gamer" (im a gamer, i don't fucking care about the plataform the games run on, only if they're good or not)

    but people like to pay to do chores, and wow is a fucking gold mine for blizzard / activision. no matter how much it sucks, its still the most succesful game in history, like that dude said. doesn't make it un-suck tho.

  • Looks very cool

  • Crysis 3 graphics

  • whoa Looks realy great
