WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.020 To game at 8K resolution, 00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:07.380 one GTX Titan, two GTX Titans, 00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:10.920 an entire ARM load of GTX Titans, 00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:14.230 on this, the 12th installment of, holy ! 00:00:14.230 --> 00:00:18.350 We're gonna find out if I drop all these Titans. 00:00:18.350 --> 00:00:30.260 Ooh, no, I won't. 00:00:30.260 --> 00:00:32.460 Cooler Master's Master Case Maker 5 00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:35.080 features their free-form modular system, 00:00:35.080 --> 00:00:38.380 allowing you to customize, adjust, and upgrade. 00:00:38.380 --> 00:00:41.870 Make it yours at the link in the video description. 00:00:41.870 --> 00:00:43.190 Okay, so first things first, 00:00:43.190 --> 00:00:45.910 the answer is not any of these things, 00:00:45.910 --> 00:00:49.630 because these are all old Titan Xs. 00:00:49.630 --> 00:00:52.550 They're, like, gross and ancient and, like, 00:00:52.550 --> 00:00:53.390 I mean, look at this. 00:00:53.390 --> 00:00:56.090 This is an original Titan. 00:00:56.090 --> 00:00:58.190 No, the answer is going to be 00:00:58.190 --> 00:01:02.030 NVIDIA's latest flagship Titan XPs, 00:01:02.030 --> 00:01:03.990 based on the Pascal architecture. 00:01:03.990 --> 00:01:06.310 Now, I've heard of people jury-rigging them 00:01:06.310 --> 00:01:08.790 to run more than two at a time, 00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:11.270 but for the time being, we only have two, 00:01:11.270 --> 00:01:12.710 and that's all that's officially supported, 00:01:12.710 --> 00:01:15.690 and that's all we have SLI bridges for anyhow. 00:01:15.690 --> 00:01:20.550 So the answer is gonna be two of the latest Titan XPs, 00:01:20.550 --> 00:01:24.290 along with one of their fancy new high-bandwidth bridges, 00:01:24.290 --> 00:01:25.730 which looks a little something like that. 00:01:25.730 --> 00:01:26.790 That's how you install it, right? 00:01:26.790 --> 00:01:29.710 Like that, it's a Nicky V SLI bridge installation chip. 00:01:29.710 --> 00:01:30.550 Boom. 00:01:30.550 --> 00:01:32.550 Whoa, I almost dropped that, sorry. 00:01:32.550 --> 00:01:34.550 Let's put that right there. 00:01:34.550 --> 00:01:36.250 Did you get that catch? 00:01:36.250 --> 00:01:38.130 Oh, that's a shame, that was awesome. 00:01:38.130 --> 00:01:38.990 I'm over it now, okay? 00:01:38.990 --> 00:01:39.830 That's fine. 00:01:39.830 --> 00:01:42.710 Okay, so the next thing we're gonna need, of course, 00:01:42.710 --> 00:01:45.610 is an 8K display of some sort. 00:01:45.610 --> 00:01:49.050 And the astute among you are probably already aware 00:01:49.050 --> 00:01:50.510 that unless I could get a company 00:01:50.510 --> 00:01:55.430 to send me some kind of amazing pre-production prototype 00:01:55.430 --> 00:01:59.010 or something, well, those don't really exist yet. 00:01:59.010 --> 00:02:02.790 So instead, I'm going to be tackling this 00:02:02.790 --> 00:02:06.950 in a way that I think will give us the performance results 00:02:07.910 --> 00:02:08.810 that we're looking for, 00:02:08.810 --> 00:02:12.050 without having to source a product 00:02:12.050 --> 00:02:14.010 that straight up isn't available. 00:02:14.010 --> 00:02:19.010 So this, my friends, is the monitor desk mount. 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.500 Here we go, let's get all the pieces out here. 00:02:23.500 --> 00:02:28.500 Made by Vivo, this is a two by two quad monitor mount 00:02:28.700 --> 00:02:32.080 that can accept up to four 27-inch monitors. 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:37.080 And we will be using four of our 27-inch 4K LG displays 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:41.640 that are left over from eight gamers, one CPU. 00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:52.650 So it's actually this one, only I will need a bunch of them. 00:02:52.650 --> 00:02:54.710 Okay, well, I've never done one of these before, 00:02:54.710 --> 00:03:02.560 so consult the manual. 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.860 Oh my God, this is not gonna be easy to assemble. 00:03:04.860 --> 00:03:07.650 I get it now. 00:03:07.650 --> 00:03:11.500 Okay, okay. 00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:15.110 So it is fairly obvious from looking at this 00:03:15.110 --> 00:03:23.180 that I am going to need to make some more room. 00:03:23.180 --> 00:03:26.820 Kinda like that. 00:03:26.820 --> 00:03:27.760 Actually, that's, 00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:34.760 that does seem like it's gonna work pretty well. 00:03:34.760 --> 00:03:36.520 Okay. 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.900 Ah, now it's not going anywhere. 00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:42.990 Okay, let's get some more monitors. 00:03:42.990 --> 00:03:45.530 Wow, this is actually a pretty fast to mount 00:03:45.530 --> 00:03:47.180 by the look of this. 00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:49.600 I thought basically building the multi-monitor stand 00:03:49.600 --> 00:03:53.880 was gonna be like half the video. 00:03:53.880 --> 00:03:55.440 I could have more time to actually use it then. 00:03:55.440 --> 00:03:57.940 I thought, why did I take them out again? 00:03:57.940 --> 00:03:58.780 Oh, I didn't. 00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:00.020 Oh, what am I doing? 00:04:00.020 --> 00:04:03.580 Okay. 00:04:03.580 --> 00:04:04.420 Ah! 00:04:04.420 --> 00:04:08.450 Why does anyone let me near expensive hardware? 00:04:08.450 --> 00:04:09.290 Not sure. 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.270 Oops. 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:19.000 Okay. 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.600 Not bad at all. 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.040 Okay, where's my test bench? 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.800 GTX 1080. 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:28.250 Please. 00:04:28.250 --> 00:04:33.250 We are getting that garbage off of here. 00:04:35.970 --> 00:04:36.810 Okay. 00:04:38.550 --> 00:04:46.400 This is more like it. 00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:51.400 When it goes in, 00:04:51.400 --> 00:04:53.580 who bent this? 00:04:53.580 --> 00:04:56.060 Oops. 00:04:56.060 --> 00:04:56.900 That's fine. 00:04:56.900 --> 00:04:58.660 It's just a very expensive graphics card. 00:04:58.660 --> 00:04:59.660 No big deal. 00:04:59.660 --> 00:05:00.500 Okay. 00:05:00.500 --> 00:05:01.340 Are they beauties? 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 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 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. 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 00:05:36.180 --> 00:05:40.960 Christmas miracle because nothing ever works the first time, especially when you're working 00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:46.080 with some kind of bizarro land experimental setup. Our test bench machine we hope is suitably 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 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 00:05:59.200 --> 00:06:05.020 supply because, you know, YOLO, whatever, right? And even then, I'm still pretty skeptical 00:06:05.020 --> 00:06:11.640 as to whether it is going to successfully run games at 8K resolution. Man, waiting for 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 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 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:43.810 on me here. Okay. There we go. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. 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. 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 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. 00:07:30.030 --> 00:07:31.890 We could have a problem here. 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 00:08:28.970 --> 00:08:35.450 you actually split up which graphics card the displays are plugged into. So hopefully 00:08:35.450 --> 00:08:36.990 that is going to fix this for me. 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 00:08:42.640 --> 00:08:49.540 on DisplayPort. In theory, these are HDMI 2.0 compliant, both of them. But in practice, 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 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 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 00:09:12.860 --> 00:09:24.240 around. Oh, come on. Okay. Configure. That looks right. Wait, what? No. That looks right. 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 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. 00:09:43.790 --> 00:09:48.190 So the NVIDIA control panel crashed just trying to create this monster. 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. 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 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 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 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? 00:10:39.170 --> 00:10:45.970 Well, games are actually coded to support whatever resolutions the system supports. So yes, 00:10:46.250 --> 00:10:49.490 games support 4K without any additional, 00:10:49.810 --> 00:10:56.990 modifications required in some cases. In the cases of poorly coded games, no, they might not 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, 00:11:05.730 --> 00:11:11.190 oh, oh, yes, yes. There it is. And for some reason, afterburner is showing through, 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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. 00:12:21.970 --> 00:12:33.020 Okay. We're running the benchmark. Benchmarking crisis three at 8K medium settings. It's great. 00:12:33.020 --> 00:12:36.060 I love this built-in crosshair into my display here. 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 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 00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:56.160 perfect. Oh yeah. That bezel. Oh yeah. Oh, delicious. Having that right in the middle 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 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 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. 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 00:13:26.530 --> 00:13:34.250 anti-aliasing completely unnecessary. Okay. So Grand Theft Auto, uh, sort of a lesser degree 00:13:34.250 --> 00:13:41.540 of success here. It looks like, yeah, GTA 5 was super unhappy about our 8K. 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. 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. 00:14:08.130 --> 00:14:17.420 Yeah. Brother Bam County. Something, something circuit. Weed. Something is at night. I had some 00:14:17.420 --> 00:14:21.120 spending. Wherever shall call upon the name of the something. 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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, 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. 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 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. 00:15:22.190 --> 00:15:29.220 Valve's high DPI scaling is terrible. Like, it's so inconsistent. I mean, 00:15:29.220 --> 00:15:34.680 the crosshair is the, is the butthole in the middle there. 00:15:34.680 --> 00:15:42.190 I got one. Uh, the frame rate counter is not that accurate. 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. 00:15:47.110 --> 00:15:50.710 Yeah. And it's saying 60 or 70, but it doesn't feel like it. 00:15:50.710 --> 00:15:55.570 It was dipping more before. And this is interesting. So the bottom two are running 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 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 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 00:16:17.460 --> 00:16:22.800 believe that just worked. So we ran crisis three at medium, Tomb Raider at medium and 00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:27.480 counter-strike global offensive on high. We're getting about, yeah, it says like 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. 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, 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, 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 00:17:28.520 --> 00:17:32.180 end up being the right person. No robots whatsoever. They're not available in Canada, 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:32.660 discount. We've got that linked in the video description to try out their savings calculator. 00:18:32.660 --> 00:18:38.600 When you sign up at our link, you'll also get 25 bucks in service credit or towards a new device. 00:18:38.600 --> 00:18:45.170 So again, that's Linus.ting.com.
