7:05 - Worst tech-demo everrrrr. Yes, maybe it's showcasing something that's more useful for developers than it is for gamers, but why bother if it doesn't look good in practice? Show it in a situation where it's better than the old method!

I've deliberately limited this to AMD and Nvidia ones. With hindsight, perhaps I should have included the 3DMark ones as well. Ah well.

I recorded these with my Nvidia 670 and the AMD ones with my backup Radeon 6870. It's interesting just how many can be run using the other manufacturer's GPU. I was surprised that I couldn't run Radeon's Ark on my Nvidia one, and the Ping Pong one would run smoothly, only to freeze once every second or so. HK2207 ran and managed to look EVEN WORSE than it does on the AMD GPU! The horror. Now I've got to spend the rest of my day clearing hundreds of tech demos from my PC...

When AMD (Formerly ATI) and Nvidia release a new graphics-cards, they tend to also create a tech-demo showcasing the new technology. These are among the best looking real-time 3D showcases that you can have on the PC, with graphics quality beyond anything that games can manage. This is because the tech-demos only have to work on the new GPU, and aren't restrained by lowest common denominators or consoles.

Over the years there have been many. Most age as time goes on. But some have something more to them. Something that makes them just as intriguing now as they were when they were released. I try to give some of these demos the publicity they deserve in this video. I hope you enjoy it!
