74 00:03:57,940 --> 00:03:58,780 Oh, I didn't. 75 00:03:58,780 --> 00:04:00,020 Oh, what am I doing? 76 00:04:00,020 --> 00:04:03,580 Okay. 77 00:04:03,580 --> 00:04:04,420 Ah! 78 00:04:04,420 --> 00:04:08,450 Why does anyone let me near expensive hardware? 79 00:04:08,450 --> 00:04:09,290 Not sure. 80 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,270 Oops. 81 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,000 Okay. 82 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,600 Not bad at all. 83 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,040 Okay, where's my test bench? 84 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,800 GTX 1080. 85 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,250 Please. 86 00:04:28,250 --> 00:04:33,250 We are getting that garbage off of here. 87 00:04:35,970 --> 00:04:36,810 Okay. 88 00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:46,400 This is more like it. 89 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,400 When it goes in, 90 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,580 who bent this? 91 00:04:53,580 --> 00:04:56,060 Oops. 92 00:04:56,060 --> 00:04:56,900 That's fine. 93 00:04:56,900 --> 00:04:58,660 It's just a very expensive graphics card. 94 00:04:58,660 --> 00:04:59,660 No big deal. 95 00:04:59,660 --> 00:05:00,500 Okay. 96 00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:01,340 Are they beauties? 97 00:05:01,340 --> 00:05:07,420 beasts. Maybe that was the moral of the story all along. You can be both beauty and beast 98 00:05:07,420 --> 00:05:18,550 if you're a $1,200 graphics card. Okay. So our quad monitor, quad 4K monitor, effectively 8K 99 00:05:18,550 --> 00:05:28,190 worth of pixels setup is now complete. So the next step is to hook up our test bench. 100 00:05:28,190 --> 00:05:36,180 Here we go. To the monitors and see if she fires up the first time, which would be a freaking 101 00:05:36,180 --> 00:05:40,960 Christmas miracle because nothing ever works the first time, especially when you're working 102 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:46,080 with some kind of bizarro land experimental setup. Our test bench machine we hope is suitably 103 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:54,300 badass. It's got a Core i7-5960X 8-core Extreme Edition, 128 gigs of Dominator Platinum Corsair 104 00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:59,200 memory, an ASUS X99 Deluxe 2 motherboard, a 1600-watt power adapter, and a 16-watt power 105 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:05,020 supply because, you know, YOLO, whatever, right? And even then, I'm still pretty skeptical 106 00:06:05,020 --> 00:06:11,640 as to whether it is going to successfully run games at 8K resolution. Man, waiting for 107 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:26,130 a computer to post is like torture and I'm not sure if it's going to work. That's a good 108 00:06:26,130 --> 00:06:33,920 sign. Let's just sign in any time now. Hey, hey, there we go. Okay. Keeps kind of bailing 109 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:43,810 on me here. Okay. There we go. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. 110 00:06:44,270 --> 00:07:03,280 For crying out loud. Hey, hey, there we go. No. Are we good this time? No. No, we're not. 111 00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:10,530 How long until it isn't funny anymore? It's still funny. That's good. It's good that it's 112 00:07:10,530 --> 00:07:30,030 still funny. Oh, is that it? We good now? Thank you. Geez. Wow. This is something else. 113 00:07:30,030 --> 00:07:31,890 We could have a problem here. 114 00:07:31,890 --> 00:07:40,020 It didn't even occur to me for a second that I can't tile the displays in a 2x2. Oh, here 115 00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:46,840 we go. Here we go. Here we go. 2x2. Phew. Okay. Oh, I was having like a panic attack 116 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:58,300 there. Okay. Okay. It's confused. It's a little confused. It's still figuring out its confusion. 117 00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:04,580 It hurt itself in its confusion. Oh, this is terrible. Why is this so hard? Why is it 118 00:08:06,940 --> 00:08:13,570 my only, yeah, disable. Yeah, I want to disable it. Piece of junk. So I think I made a small 119 00:08:13,570 --> 00:08:17,810 configuration error. You'll have to forgive me. It's been a very long time since I've 120 00:08:17,810 --> 00:08:23,090 set up an NVIDIA surround setup, but it looks like the way it works these days is you don't 121 00:08:23,090 --> 00:08:28,970 want to plug all of the displays into the top graphics card and run SLI. It looks like 122 00:08:28,970 --> 00:08:35,450 you actually split up which graphics card the displays are plugged into. So hopefully 123 00:08:35,450 --> 00:08:36,990 that is going to fix this for me. 124 00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:42,640 And I will not continue to have trouble here. And that means that I can run all of them 125 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:49,540 on DisplayPort. In theory, these are HDMI 2.0 compliant, both of them. But in practice, 126 00:08:49,540 --> 00:08:55,940 I was not able to run at 4K 60 Hertz on one of my displays. So I'm not sure exactly what 127 00:08:55,940 --> 00:09:01,840 any of this means yet, but stay tuned. It is not even letting me click on the NVIDIA 128 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:12,360 control and it crashed. Nope. Nevermind. It's back and it crashed and it's back. Okay. Span 129 00:09:12,860 --> 00:09:24,240 around. Oh, come on. Okay. Configure. That looks right. Wait, what? No. That looks right. 130 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:34,440 7680 by 4320. 60 Hertz. Come on. Oh, I got it wrong. Oh shoot. Might be easier to just 131 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:43,790 swap the cables on these ones at this point. Come on, baby. Okay. I think we're good. Okay. 132 00:09:43,790 --> 00:09:48,190 So the NVIDIA control panel crashed just trying to create this monster. 133 00:09:48,430 --> 00:09:56,210 But there it is. 7680 by 4320. And if we pop into our adapter properties, boom, 60 Hertz. 134 00:09:57,110 --> 00:10:08,370 This is 8K. Yes, this is 8K, my friends. Let's just put the old NVIDIA control panel yellow here 135 00:10:08,370 --> 00:10:16,090 is got to put her down there. Take her behind the barn. There you go. You're done. So this is a 136 00:10:19,170 --> 00:10:30,360 game, a game, but can it, my friends, can it run crisis running at 1080p? That's 1080. That's full 137 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:38,550 HD. That's a joke. So this is a common question that people will ask is do games even support 4K? 138 00:10:39,170 --> 00:10:45,970 Well, games are actually coded to support whatever resolutions the system supports. So yes, 139 00:10:46,250 --> 00:10:49,490 games support 4K without any additional, 140 00:10:49,810 --> 00:10:56,990 modifications required in some cases. In the cases of poorly coded games, no, they might not 141 00:10:56,990 --> 00:11:05,330 support future resolutions. But in theory, crisis is going to fire up in a moment here at 8K. Oh, 142 00:11:05,730 --> 00:11:11,190 oh, oh, yes, yes. There it is. And for some reason, afterburner is showing through, 143 00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:20,980 but hopefully that will go away when we minimize it. There it is. There it is, my friends. 8K crisis 144 00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:36,800 running at 60 FPS in the menu only, mind you, but here we go. I could get used to this. Let's see 145 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:46,880 what kind of performance we can get out of two Titan XPs, crisis three, very high, and we crushed 146 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:59,130 it. Yes, my friends, 24 FPS, fully cinematic in crisis three. I may need to turn on bezel compensation 147 00:11:59,130 --> 00:12:01,050 if I'm going to play for any kind of experience. I'm going to play for any kind of experience. 148 00:12:01,070 --> 00:12:04,110 I'm going to play for an extended period of time. Okay. I'm also going to adjust some in-game 149 00:12:04,110 --> 00:12:15,350 settings here. What do you think? Is that going to be playable? Hey, hey. Whoa. Okay. Medium system 150 00:12:15,350 --> 00:12:21,970 spec. We're looking at about 50 FPS. I am liking that. I am not. Oh, oh, hold on. Run the benchmark. 151 00:12:21,970 --> 00:12:33,020 Okay. We're running the benchmark. Benchmarking crisis three at 8K medium settings. It's great. 152 00:12:33,020 --> 00:12:36,060 I love this built-in crosshair into my display here. 153 00:12:36,060 --> 00:12:42,400 You just aim at the thing you can't see, right? Oh, that's funny. The crosshair's a little to the 154 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:49,620 left. Okay. Well, that'll be trippy as all hell. Wow. This is a gigantic display and wow, it looks 155 00:12:49,620 --> 00:12:56,160 perfect. Oh yeah. That bezel. Oh yeah. Oh, delicious. Having that right in the middle 156 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:01,120 like that. Yeah. Just getting my way. Perfect. I mean, I'm not saying this is an ideal gaming 157 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:08,700 experience. I'm just, I'm saying we're gaming at 8K. That's all. So if we had like a multi-cable 158 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:20,330 8K display today, this is how crisis would run on a couple of Titan XPs. Benchmarks done. Okay. 159 00:13:20,350 --> 00:13:26,530 Let's find out. 54 FPS average, medium settings, no anti-aliasing. I would make the argument 160 00:13:26,530 --> 00:13:34,250 anti-aliasing completely unnecessary. Okay. So Grand Theft Auto, uh, sort of a lesser degree 161 00:13:34,250 --> 00:13:41,540 of success here. It looks like, yeah, GTA 5 was super unhappy about our 8K. 162 00:13:41,660 --> 00:13:57,080 Resolution. Yep. Okay. Maybe we'll try some other games. I can read, I can read this one too. 163 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:07,870 Yeah. The town folks were something, uh, Monday the 16th rode about 50 miles to brother. Wow. 164 00:14:08,130 --> 00:14:17,420 Yeah. Brother Bam County. Something, something circuit. Weed. Something is at night. I had some 165 00:14:17,420 --> 00:14:21,120 spending. Wherever shall call upon the name of the something. 166 00:14:21,140 --> 00:14:25,460 saved. Probably the Lord. Yeah. You really got to move your head. All right. Let's run the 167 00:14:25,460 --> 00:14:34,240 benchmark. I got to say this does look like, look at the hair. Unbelievable. This truly is the future 168 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:41,820 of gaming. 8K gaming friends. 8K gaming. So do we not have an 8K monitor? Uh, no one has an 8K 169 00:14:41,820 --> 00:14:47,620 monitor. What about that television we have? Uh, that's not 8K. That's 4K. We have nothing that's 170 00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:51,500 8K. No one has anything that's 8K. That's not true. Yes, it is. I saw a bunch of them at, 171 00:14:51,940 --> 00:14:57,280 uh, NAV. Well, yes, but that's not. You said no one. Those aren't commercial products. You said 172 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:02,200 no one has it. You're killing me here. You said no one. Okay. I take things very literally. Yes, 173 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:08,800 you do. 20.09 frames per second at medium settings in the Tomb Raider benchmark. That's not great. 174 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:16,130 Well, no, but we'll counter-strike global offensive run. Is, is Ed still here? We should 175 00:15:16,130 --> 00:15:22,130 get him to play. Oh my God. The, the console looks ridiculous. Yeah, that is really hard. 176 00:15:22,190 --> 00:15:29,220 Valve's high DPI scaling is terrible. Like, it's so inconsistent. I mean, 177 00:15:29,220 --> 00:15:34,680 the crosshair is the, is the butthole in the middle there. 178 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:42,190 I got one. Uh, the frame rate counter is not that accurate. 179 00:15:42,190 --> 00:15:47,110 Actually, you know what? It seems to be, uh, it seems to be settling in a little bit though. 180 00:15:47,110 --> 00:15:50,710 Yeah. And it's saying 60 or 70, but it doesn't feel like it. 181 00:15:50,710 --> 00:15:55,570 It was dipping more before. And this is interesting. So the bottom two are running 182 00:15:55,570 --> 00:15:59,950 off one GPU and the top two are running off another GPU. And there are slight differences 183 00:16:00,670 --> 00:16:08,110 in like the, uh, the response time. So you'll actually see some, like a slight jello effect 184 00:16:08,110 --> 00:16:17,460 sometimes. And that probably could be perceived. Are you trying to snipe with that? Wow. I can't 185 00:16:17,460 --> 00:16:22,800 believe that just worked. So we ran crisis three at medium, Tomb Raider at medium and 186 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,480 counter-strike global offensive on high. We're getting about, yeah, it says like 187 00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:34,200 five frames per second now that it's settled in a little bit, but it really doesn't feel that smooth. 188 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:39,900 So, uh, there you have it. Are we ready for eight K gaming? Well, based on that, 189 00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:45,000 we don't have the displays that can do it without a gigantic bezel in the middle. And based on that, 190 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:52,200 we don't have graphics cards that don't cost less than 2,400 us dollars running an SLI in order to 191 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,980 even have a chance of playing games. I would say the answer is no, but is this a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, 192 00:16:57,980 --> 00:17:05,640 a unique and unreal experience, Ed? It's making me sick. It's making you sick. It is so cool. He's 193 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:12,620 sick. You know what else makes me sick? Phone trees. Yes. My friends, when you call a company 194 00:17:12,620 --> 00:17:17,540 and you spend 20 minutes actually navigating through to the right person who ends up not being 195 00:17:17,540 --> 00:17:22,460 the right person anyway, and Ting hates them too, which is why when you're on Ting, the mobile 196 00:17:22,460 --> 00:17:27,140 carrier that puts customer satisfaction first, and you pick up a phone and call them, you actually 197 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,180 end up being the right person. No robots whatsoever. They're not available in Canada, 198 00:17:32,180 --> 00:17:37,640 unfortunately, but I tried it out just for LOLs and I was like, I knew it was gonna happen. And 199 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,920 I was still amazed. Someone's like, hello, this is Ting. What can I do for you? It scared me. 200 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:48,980 You know what else is scary? The fact that Ting does not have huge bundle packages that they 201 00:17:48,980 --> 00:17:54,260 sell to you for like a hundred bucks a month. You pay only for what you use and you don't have to 202 00:17:54,260 --> 00:17:58,460 try and look into your crystal ball and kind of go, yeah, I might need an extra 500 gigs 203 00:17:58,460 --> 00:18:02,600 of data that month. I guess I better buy like a bigger, more upgraded package. Nope. The average 204 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,460 Ting bill is just 23 bucks a month per device. And they'll even help you out if you are stuck 205 00:18:07,460 --> 00:18:14,480 in a contract covering up to 25%, up to $75 of your cancellation fee. They actually are now 206 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:20,600 lowering mobile data rates across the board too, with data now at just $10 per gig beyond the first 207 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:26,000 gig. So if all that sounds like kind of cool, but you're not sure if you're actually gonna save any 208 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,440 money, all you gotta do is head over to Linus.ting.com, and you're gonna be able to get a 209 00:18:28,460 --> 00:18:32,660 discount.
