Step back into 2006 with GeoForms, an old-school NVIDIA tech demo designed for GeForce 7-series graphics cards. In this video, I fire up the demo, explore its readme, tweak the settings, and crank the graphics to the max to see how it holds up today. Featuring mesmerizing liquid-like shapes that move to the beat, GeoForms was a showcase of real-time rendering and GPU power back in the day. Join me as I take a nostalgic deep dive into this piece of retro graphics history!
