NVIDIA and Mythbusters

What happens if you mix NVidia with MythBusters? You get to play with paint guns - a lot of them.

NVidia invited MythBusters to their NVision conference to demonstrate the difference in performance between a single CPU processor and a parallel GPU processor. And MythBusters came up with something that was quite extraordinary. They painted a picture of Mona Lisa, using 1100 paint guns in 80 miliseconds.

If you like MythBusters, this is something you just got to see.

I LOVE the Mythbusters. I can see why they didn't build that themselves, although they designed it, since their constructions sometimes are a little on the duct-tape side.

A paintball gun like that in a real match would probably rip through your enemies' cover as well as cover them with dye. Talk about a paintball version of Metal Gear REX.
