If you weren't on our live stream from the NVIDIA "The Way It's Meant to be Played" tech day this afternoon, you missed a hell of an event. After the announcement of NVIDIA G-Sync variable refresh rate monitor technology, NVIDIA's Tony Tomasi brough one of the most intriguing panels of developers on stage to talk.
John Carmack, Tim Sweeney and Johan Andersson talk for over an hour, taking questions from the audience and even getting into debates amongst themselves in some instances. Topics included NVIDIA G-Sync of course, AMD's Mantle low-level API, the hurdles facing PC gaming and what direction each luminary is currently on for future development.
If you are a PC enthusiast or gamer you are definitely going to want to listen and watch the video below!

When I think of Carmack I
When I think of Carmack I think more about technology then I do of gaming, these days and I think that’s where he wants to be as well, but I might be wrong.
OMG OMG OMG OMG. Then again
OMG OMG OMG OMG. Then again I am the kind of person who would prefer to watch this on a Friday night.
This talk was pretty amazing. It was really nice to get to hear what they have to say about the industry. The best parts were when they were talking and asking each other questions.
While John is a legend in the industry he has tailed off. It’s great to see that he’s really passionate about something else and going full steam on that. Tim played things fairly close to the vest. Johan and John conversing about the technical side of the issues was pretty great.
Would have paid to watch this. Thanks for the video.
