Metro: Last Light And NVIDIA Show You NextGen PC Graphics

Metro: Last Light is no graphical slouch and NVIDIA is here to show you some of the new features that make your eyeballs pop. Tessellation is a fun word to say and it makes the graphics smooth. Rounding off hard edges and tricking your eyes into thinking there’s more polygons than an arcade full of I, Robot clones.

Next NVIDIA shows off it’s PhysX technology that puts so many shards of glass in the world John McCane would flip. There’s also smoke and debris aplenty when PhysX is enable so prepare for crap flying everywhere in smokey filled rooms. If you have multiple monitors and 3D Glasses you can go for the ultimate 3D Surround setup but you’re probably going to want a beefy NVIDIA card to handle that. Which brings us to their last point, buy an NVIDIA GTX 660 or better you get a free copy of Metro: Last Light. Head past the jump to see NVIDIA show off Metro: Last Light and work it for those ad dollars.

NVIDIA Shows Off ARMA Tactics Running On Project SHIELD

NVIDIA Shows Off ARMA Tactics Running On Project SHIELD

Project SHIELD by NVIDIA is sure going to pack a wallop once it’s released sometime in June 2013. With a Tegra 4 processor inside and running Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) on top of that means smooth android gaming goodness. For this demo NVIDIA’s Will Park is showing off some ARMA Tactics. You should be able to tell right off the bat that this is a serious tactical game in the same vein of any game in the ARMA series. With highly trained soldiers on the battlefield and you in the drivers seat there’s no stopping you from winning the mission. With randomly generated levels and objectives the action will never feel the same way twice.

With the Project SHIELD you can easily use the controller and reach up and quickly tap the touchscreen when needed. With the open environment you’ll need to think fast and thankfully it looks like the controls won’t be getting in the way on this mission. Thanks to the Tegra 4 processor ARMA Tactics really shines with updated dynamic shadows, enhanced particle effects, enhanced smoke, higher object density and of course increased geometry for better graphical fidelity. Be sure to head on past the break to see ARMA Tactics get tactical on the Project SHIELD.
