If you ever wanted to paint pictures with a paintball gun then you probably realise that it would take a while painting 1 pixel at a time. Mythbusters decided to create for NVIDIA a paintball gun with 1100 barrels so that a full painting could be made in just 1 shot. The results... Mona Lisa was drawn in just 80 milliseconds. Check out the video after the jump.
The Mythbusters created this 1100 barrel gun to explain the difference between a CPU and a GPU. When a CPU is used to render graphics it is done one step at a time where as when a GPU is used it can handle many tasks at a time. Although it's a completely over the top way of showing a point you have to love watching all 1100 barrels shooting out a picture at the same time.
