1 00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:06,080 I got you a new GPU yay yay it's an arc 2 00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:12,360 it's easy to say we want competition what's not easy is spending your 3 00:00:10,740 --> 00:00:17,940 hard-earned money with an underdog company and your precious time fighting 4 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:22,380 with an inferior product Fall For What so your buddy can just go out and buy 5 00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:26,519 the actually good one and get it for a reasonable price I mean we all complain 6 00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:29,939 about NVIDIA's pricing and we say that we want their Stranglehold on the 7 00:00:28,019 --> 00:00:33,540 discrete GPU Market to end but if the steam Hardware survey is anything to go 8 00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:38,340 by nobody actually wants to be the one to buy something else especially in 9 00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:43,140 Intel Arc and if the rumors are anything to go by Intel's discrete GPU division 10 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:49,020 was already in a precarious position before these things were so difficult to 11 00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:56,160 sell so we've been challenged the 30-day Arc challenge 30-day Arc challenge okay 12 00:00:53,879 --> 00:01:00,300 but only if Luke has to do it too I'm down 13 00:00:57,660 --> 00:01:05,580 so here it is it's the 30-day Arc challenge part one baby where we are 14 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,619 both gonna rip our Superior gpus out of 15 00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:14,159 our gaming Rigs and for the first time ever on this channel perform a downgrade 16 00:01:10,939 --> 00:01:16,979 I really hope this goes smoothly 17 00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:21,600 like this message from our sponsor Boost Mobile Boost Mobile provides you with 18 00:01:19,020 --> 00:01:26,340 unlimited data talk and text for only 25

oh well you know I didn't change out my VR 21 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:47,400 rig and I'm not going to drag my main machine out here which I did do during 22 00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:53,159 the Linux challenge when show viewers demanded that I change out not only my 23 00:01:49,979 --> 00:01:55,079 daily driver gaming rig but also my VR 24 00:01:53,159 --> 00:02:00,360 machine so Alex is here to help me perform one of the two surgeries the 25 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:04,140 choice is yours sir and this is a bit of a trick question 26 00:02:01,740 --> 00:02:09,539 which would you rather the small form factor machine or the Hardline water 27 00:02:06,119 --> 00:02:12,180 cooled one water cool oh crap that might 28 00:02:09,539 --> 00:02:14,940 actually be the easier one way more fun too I thought you were going to take 29 00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:18,660 this one I can take this one if you want no no no no no no by all means you can 30 00:02:16,860 --> 00:02:22,739 have the harder one remember when I stole our first 3080 and I was like 31 00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:27,480 don't worry I'll bring it back and then you didn't I still have it what a dick 32 00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:31,739 now I'm a little torn right now on the one hand the upstairs machine I'm 33 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:38,099 running a 4k monitor which frankly neither of these gpus it's okay enough 34 00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:42,840 it's only 30 days I'll make it but on the other hand this machine is used for 35 00:02:40,379 --> 00:02:46,580 VR where consistent frame times are extremely important you're gonna need a 36 00:02:44,940 --> 00:02:52,200 bucket down here which one should I go a770 and which one 37 00:02:49,620 --> 00:02:54,319 a750 we didn't have enough a770s to go around 38 00:02:55,220 --> 00:03:00,420 I think a750 in this one okay all right 39 00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:03,959 I'll take this then I'm curious which one you got oh well if it says limited 40 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,379 edition on it it's the 16 gig I think right so I'm pretty sure they're both 41 00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:11,700 limited edition oh they're like the same and I don't know yeah well we'll find 42 00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:15,959 out later memes aside when it comes to DirectX 12 or Vulcan titles so that is 43 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:23,280 to say newer games at anywhere from 1080p to 1440p Arc actually performs 44 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:26,180 pretty darn well for the price the issue 45 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:31,500 is that Intel is up against literally Decades of experience on both NVIDIA and 46 00:03:29,459 --> 00:03:37,260 AMD's side when it comes to developing drivers for older apis like DirectX 9 47 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:41,819 and 10. the other big issue is that their Hardware doesn't actually have 48 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,720 native support for some of those older apis which means that they have to run 49 00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:52,140 them through a translation layer that results in a big performance hit so if 50 00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:56,099 all Luke and I wanted to do was play 51 00:03:52,140 --> 00:03:57,599 Anno 1800 do maternal 52 00:03:56,099 --> 00:04:03,360 you know in a handful of other newer titles we'd probably be fine the problem 53 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:10,680 is that many popular games even today were built for older apis Counter-Strike 54 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,540 League Legends well and even DirectX 55 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:16,680 games don't necessarily play very well okay all right all right he was pretty 56 00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:20,400 bullish on Arc until he actually sat down and tried to Game On It Master 57 00:04:18,660 --> 00:04:25,740 Chief Collection is what did it for me it was so bad getting my machine out is 58 00:04:23,340 --> 00:04:29,460 a little bit of a chore because the USB fiber boxes that go to some of the other 59 00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:34,380 computers in the house uh rest on it 60 00:04:32,460 --> 00:04:37,740 um and also we put a big radiator behind it yeah so getting at the i o is a 61 00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:42,419 little bit more challenging than it used to be big radiator is not great 62 00:04:40,259 --> 00:04:45,919 what I'm thinking then is you're gonna pull from the front and then I'm gonna 63 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,199 kind of Juggle all of that stuff in the back and 64 00:04:47,940 --> 00:04:52,979 make sure that nothing comes crashing down okay cool what could go wrong one 65 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:58,199 potential speed bump that I hadn't thought of before accepting this challenge I have two full sets of 66 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:02,639 peripherals monitor keyboard mouse and speakers upstairs and in the basement so 67 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:06,900 that I can sit and game with my kids when they don't have a friend over who's 68 00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:09,960 using that station or whatever else I have no idea how Arc is going to 69 00:05:08,699 --> 00:05:16,680 handle that like cloning to two 4K 120 hertz 70 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:18,900 displays should be fine sure should 71 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:22,440 I mean it should have had a great price to Performance ratio if Intel was to be 72 00:05:20,699 --> 00:05:27,120 believed I'm going to tape all these together so that I don't lose track of 73 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:33,120 which ones go into my PC because I'm a smart boy like that and Alex I think 74 00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:35,160 you're ready to start pulling uh okay 75 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,880 does this just like Fallout or does it no no it'll stop they're Stoppers okay 76 00:05:37,139 --> 00:05:42,600 yeah you should be good do you have it yeah I got another bag okay okay all 77 00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:48,780 right it's a little heavy and end 78 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:54,240 oh goodbye there's a story behind that screw my PC is kind of a ship of Theseus 79 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,919 it has no clear beginning and end it's 80 00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,180 kind of fun for me to keep little bits and Bobs from previous iterations of the 81 00:05:57,780 --> 00:06:07,680 machine and these thumb screws from my antec p160w case are the oldest pieces 82 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:10,740 of this current iteration however 83 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,900 I lost one of them but then I finally 84 00:06:10,740 --> 00:06:17,100 found it when we moved so I put it somewhere safe with the intention of 85 00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:22,500 restoring it to its rightful place I'm regretting saying that I'd upgrade this 86 00:06:18,539 --> 00:06:24,660 one yeah yeah you screwed up yeah I uh 87 00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:28,380 doesn't seem too difficult but it seems like a whole lot of 88 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:33,539 potentially filling your boss's computer with water yeah yeah hey do you like my 89 00:06:31,139 --> 00:06:38,100 cooling fan for my Nick oh that is nice yeah yeah I just kind of screwed a thing 90 00:06:35,940 --> 00:06:42,060 into like kind of a thing and it's like kind of on there I can't believe I'm 91 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:46,740 replacing a 30 90 with an arc to be clear we are not Hardline water 92 00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:50,520 cooling this thing and if we did I mean it took me forever to get around to 93 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:55,500 changing it out does anyone even have blocks for this I don't think so the 94 00:06:53,160 --> 00:07:00,000 plan is just to bypass the existing card take it out tubes and all and then flunk 95 00:06:58,020 --> 00:07:08,340 it back in when we're done what do you have here exactly my bypass idea 96 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:12,680 cool all right yeah sure I've actually 97 00:07:08,340 --> 00:07:12,680 done this before so don't freak out 98 00:07:13,620 --> 00:07:19,860 it's a werewolf Thing Once I bite them they start dropping things here's what 99 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:25,220 we're gonna do gravity works right gravity is great so 100 00:07:22,740 --> 00:07:30,120 theoretically if the bucket is under the computer the 101 00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:35,039 water cannot reach the computer so we'll go car oil change yeah easy uh 102 00:07:33,780 --> 00:07:41,419 yeah either you know what let's do both okay here we go 103 00:07:37,620 --> 00:07:41,419 and one two three 104 00:07:41,599 --> 00:07:49,199 one okay uh this one man 105 00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:49,199 gusher 106 00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:57,419 oh I was gonna yeah not that way oh okay 107 00:07:53,940 --> 00:08:01,440 flip it this way it should be fine 108 00:07:57,419 --> 00:08:04,560 can I help you oh he's got this he's got 109 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:09,000 this oh well we also have to get these 110 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:11,340 off I got those or like oh 111 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,120 or like a towel or something no I got it I got it I got it 112 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:19,620 yes for those of you who are just tuning in the computer is vertical because the 113 00:08:17,460 --> 00:08:24,419 loop is full of water but we need to remove a water cooled GPU from it and we 114 00:08:21,900 --> 00:08:26,720 don't want the water to fall all over everything 115 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:33,060 whoa RGB cable see you later buddy you've 116 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,760 been good to me some of you probably think that we're Hamming this up a 117 00:08:34,740 --> 00:08:40,500 little bit and that's fair you know we're making a 118 00:08:38,339 --> 00:08:44,580 video here but if you feel that way you probably didn't watch the video where we 119 00:08:42,300 --> 00:08:49,440 tried like a couple dozen games on Ark and had problems almost across the board 120 00:08:47,459 --> 00:08:52,800 at least you have a buddy though yeah it's very nice that Luke is doing this 121 00:08:51,180 --> 00:08:57,600 with you yeah misery does love company Brandon just asked if we could run it at 122 00:08:54,959 --> 00:09:02,100 like 720 but the problem is that the frame times are the biggest issue and 123 00:09:00,060 --> 00:09:07,260 there seems to be Hardware problems where whatever you're getting at 1080p 124 00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:10,860 is probably what you're getting at 720p because it doesn't necessarily scale 125 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:15,959 it's like a problem with the scheduler and that's why you can't get more FPS's 126 00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:20,040 what are the odds Alex that since the last time we looked at it it's gotten 127 00:09:18,180 --> 00:09:22,519 way better and I'm gonna have no trouble this month 128 00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:33,420 crap are these both eight pins too oh balls I've gone Arc and you know what 129 00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:35,940 they say once you go Arc 130 00:09:33,420 --> 00:09:38,640 you've gone Arc Truman tells credit if you don't have an exotic cooling 131 00:09:37,140 --> 00:09:42,180 solution to work around they've done a great job of making Arc a drop in 132 00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:47,459 replacement for pretty much any system with a discrete GPU compared to the RTX 133 00:09:44,580 --> 00:09:51,420 3080 you can see it's shorter the same height and it uses standard eight plus 134 00:09:49,740 --> 00:09:58,200 six pin power connectors which means I can actually take out NVIDIA's single 135 00:09:54,360 --> 00:10:00,120 generation only 12 pin power adapter and 136 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:04,860 go ahead and throw this blade I think we have a problem 137 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:09,959 these are eight pins oh these are not six plus twos no the 138 00:10:07,260 --> 00:10:15,060 good news is wherever those cables are could be where these cables are 139 00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:18,000 not at the office I don't know no that's the bad news I don't know where either 140 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:23,339 of them are I thought we might have another sacrificial six pin 141 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:29,339 we don't on that doorstop power supply no dice but there's other good news I 142 00:10:27,180 --> 00:10:31,740 have an ATX pin removal tool here the plan for this one is pretty 143 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:36,300 straightforward in my emergency Tech Supplies bag I found an old Molex to six 144 00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:41,160 pin adapter what we're going to do is we're going to pull these pins out of here and put them in here it's going to 145 00:10:38,820 --> 00:10:47,220 take a little bit of time but I happen to have an old ATX removal tool which is 146 00:10:44,339 --> 00:10:50,399 good for PCIe and theoretically they should all be about that quick yeah 147 00:10:48,899 --> 00:10:54,480 this is a really good quality one I got it from Charles from murder box not what 148 00:10:52,980 --> 00:11:02,279 I was expecting to be difficult we're already done the part that was supposed to be hard PCI Express EPs and 24 pin 149 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:07,140 connectors all have the same little square pins in them and what you'll find 150 00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:11,160 is that they go into here and then there's two little flanges on the edges 151 00:11:09,060 --> 00:11:15,180 that hold them into place so I have a pin removal tool from way back in the 152 00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:19,320 day when modding your power supply was a thing that people did it goes down into 153 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:23,519 the connector and basically pushes those sponges down so you can extract the pin 154 00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:26,459 without damaging either the connector or the PIN 155 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:31,620 what we're going to do then is we're going to take our connectors 156 00:11:28,860 --> 00:11:35,579 here extract all the pins we need put them into our sacrificial connector and 157 00:11:33,779 --> 00:11:39,720 we take our eight pin and turn it into a six pin PCIe because the other two pins 158 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,120 are just extra grounds anyway okay so you have these all numbered in a way 159 00:11:40,980 --> 00:11:47,160 that makes sense to you and I can go ahead and remove them yep cool I will 160 00:11:45,660 --> 00:11:50,820 only remove the six that you need that way we can just leave this connector in 161 00:11:48,899 --> 00:11:53,000 here and it could be reassembled in the future 162 00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:59,339 no no that's a good thing you're clear you officially have something to do I'm 163 00:11:57,300 --> 00:12:03,600 gonna go look for another six pin in the meantime but this card can go in this 164 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:07,260 system can fire up Wicked there oh there was one other thing I wanted to do while 165 00:12:04,860 --> 00:12:13,220 we were at it my multi-controller USB card here appears to have died 166 00:12:09,779 --> 00:12:13,220 so I would like to replace it 167 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:25,019 the sonnet one is even better this thing is super cool it's got eight USBC ports 168 00:12:21,180 --> 00:12:27,120 on it oh damn and four controllers 169 00:12:25,019 --> 00:12:32,640 is that sick or what look that's an m.2 that's PCA by four so it's a by 16 card 170 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:37,320 that has a buy four little Riser here for half of the things so uh what that 171 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:43,079 means is you can do I think it's full 10 gigabit per second USB 3 172 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:46,320 times four on this card so wait how expensive is one of those oh it's very 173 00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:50,459 expensive the reason that you might want multiple 174 00:12:48,420 --> 00:12:54,300 USB controllers is that for VR applications sometimes whether it's with 175 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,180 cameras or sensors having too many of them plugged into a single controller 176 00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:02,519 can cause problems so I was using this old one from sonnet 177 00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:07,860 but it's it's having some issues now because USB is shared right 178 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:11,820 which means that if you want to get the full bandwidth or if you want to have no 179 00:13:09,839 --> 00:13:15,720 interference from other USB devices that are connected they actually do need 180 00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:20,160 their own controller any luck this just goes in connect the power and it turns 181 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:25,500 on or it goes boom those are the two options right now 182 00:13:22,740 --> 00:13:28,980 here we go I'm gonna feel like such an idiot when I figure out where my cables 183 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,279 are that's the thing about being in a new place is everything's perfectly 184 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:36,480 organized which means there's no hope when you don't immediately find 185 00:13:33,839 --> 00:13:40,560 something like that thumb screw fortunately over the years I've gotten 186 00:13:38,820 --> 00:13:45,660 pretty good with this tool I'm proud to be Linus when we run over time people 187 00:13:42,959 --> 00:13:48,899 start to get pretty snarky since I'm doing both sides on this one I'm not 188 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:53,399 going to bother labeling anything all right this one's all good to go back in 189 00:13:50,339 --> 00:13:56,399 really yeah okay we got this wait why am 190 00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:58,200 I excited surgery number two complete 191 00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:03,120 it's not like Yvonne needs a six pin for her computer she's not getting 192 00:13:59,579 --> 00:14:05,700 downgraded okay this one's done too you 193 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:09,500 know how you went from type A to type c no that's fine I'll be back 194 00:14:11,339 --> 00:14:17,760 hi C cables in the context of how much VR 195 00:14:16,079 --> 00:14:23,940 costs overall with the full body tracking setup it's a lot of money but 196 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:26,399 sunk cost fallacy baby let's go if this 197 00:14:23,940 --> 00:14:31,560 is what it takes to reduce the Jitter on my limbs then yeah you'll be having 198 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:36,000 dinner other places now yeah super cool case though it's the Cerberus from 199 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:44,639 sliger to my knowledge it is still the smallest matx case here we go 200 00:14:39,779 --> 00:14:47,240 it's Arc time how exciting I'm excited 201 00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:49,860 cool that's fine 202 00:14:49,860 --> 00:14:53,959 um oh okay 203 00:14:54,199 --> 00:15:00,480 oh no that is not fine oh crap 204 00:14:58,380 --> 00:15:06,120 that is extra not fine that is inside the computer there's a cable in a fan 205 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,019 where is it 206 00:15:09,420 --> 00:15:16,100 oh come on are you in there yep 207 00:15:13,620 --> 00:15:20,519 all right ah yes there's your problem 208 00:15:18,899 --> 00:15:24,779 uh case was that 209 00:15:22,199 --> 00:15:28,260 seems fine cook yay 210 00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:34,500 okay and no extracting it from the cabinet 211 00:15:32,940 --> 00:15:38,220 black brilliant now I just need to put more 212 00:15:36,660 --> 00:15:43,500 water in this line is what what you have most 213 00:15:40,980 --> 00:15:48,180 acceleration on this is the first time a mouse has been connected to this 214 00:15:44,820 --> 00:15:51,660 computer still no no it doesn't matter 215 00:15:48,180 --> 00:15:54,420 no no no I won't take it wait do you 216 00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:59,579 have over scan on as well what overscan well yeah but you just put a new GPU in 217 00:15:56,100 --> 00:16:00,720 no no I do not have overscan I blame 218 00:15:59,579 --> 00:16:06,120 Intel well he does that I'm going to properly set up this when you're swapping between 219 00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:10,800 different GPU vendors it's really important to go and do display driver 220 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:15,720 uninstaller or ddu that gets rid of the old stuff so in this case we ran it on 221 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:17,880 NVIDIA now it restarts and we should be 222 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:22,560 able to put on the Intel drivers now and it all works out fine you should do it 223 00:16:20,339 --> 00:16:26,880 in safe mode I never have but you should one fun thing about Intel Arc is that 224 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:32,399 they have like a 1.3 Gigabyte download for their drivers so that's very big and 225 00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:36,240 videos are like 500 megabytes now and that's like stupid large one thing 226 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:41,339 that's super important about Intel Arc and it also just reminded me of it is 227 00:16:38,759 --> 00:16:46,199 that we need to enable resizable bar if you don't you have a really bad time on 228 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:50,820 Arc how to enable a resizable bar oh you have to have CSM enabled Advanced PCI 229 00:16:49,079 --> 00:16:57,420 configuration is there even PCI configuration there no 230 00:16:53,639 --> 00:16:59,579 uh oh oh no you can't use CSM with 231 00:16:57,420 --> 00:17:02,579 resizable bar and this is an ancient boot drive that I just kept carrying 232 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:08,699 forward with me it's not a UEFI boot Drive 233 00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:12,319 I'm gonna have to reformat my whole computer for this 234 00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:20,339 oh we should buy us update first maybe 235 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:25,799 it'll just work I don't think so I don't know if you have to disable CSN 236 00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:27,179 I am so unhappy right now 237 00:17:25,799 --> 00:17:32,580 and I don't even know if the other machine is working yet oh look at that 238 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:35,039 it just is 239 00:17:32,580 --> 00:17:39,900 well that's good it's funny this video started out as will upgrading to Arc be 240 00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:43,799 a challenge and ended up just being hey upgrading your computer can be sort of a 241 00:17:41,940 --> 00:17:47,580 pain in the butt none of the things I was expecting to be a problem like the 242 00:17:45,660 --> 00:17:50,820 dual monitor setup have been a problem things I wasn't expecting to be a 243 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:54,960 problem like oh I gotta find my power supply cables and oh does my motherboard 244 00:17:52,919 --> 00:17:59,640 support this new thing have totally been a problem okay 245 00:17:57,299 --> 00:18:03,720 it looks like resizable bar is already enabled on this system so we shouldn't 246 00:18:01,559 --> 00:18:07,559 have any issues another issue I hadn't foreseen is I'm in the middle of working 247 00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:11,280 on my review of the gcloud which I have no idea if Intel's encoders will 248 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:16,320 work well for a network gaming device but I guess I'm 249 00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:19,140 gonna find out yeah yeah I see you got 250 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:26,400 resizable bar enabled yeah so that works but well I had to disable CSM okay and 251 00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:28,440 now it doesn't boot well I don't know 252 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,980 I don't think it's going to boot I think it's going to boot into my boot Drive 253 00:18:30,299 --> 00:18:35,460 probably oh you put a boot Drive in there well 254 00:18:33,419 --> 00:18:42,440 I have a boot drive on my keys your USB IC so that doesn't help me well it helps 255 00:18:38,460 --> 00:18:42,440 you if we need to reinstall Windows 256 00:18:43,620 --> 00:18:51,120 oh no I don't want that right now all my 257 00:18:49,380 --> 00:18:55,799 like stupid beat saber mods and everything are all set up exactly how I 258 00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:59,640 like it and like it's pain in the butt to like back up a custom songs and like 259 00:18:57,780 --> 00:19:03,120 it's obvious all solvable I just like I could find a directory and then I gotta 260 00:19:01,260 --> 00:19:08,880 copy everything over do you want to explain to the people what having to 261 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:13,919 disable CSM does why that's a problem sure disabling CSM is a problem on this 262 00:19:12,179 --> 00:19:19,679 system because I originally installed Windows on an older motherboard using an 263 00:19:16,140 --> 00:19:22,440 MBR partition well newer motherboards 264 00:19:19,679 --> 00:19:26,940 UEFI motherboards want a GPT partition you can convert an MBR to a GPT 265 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,840 partition but the process is a bit of a pain in the butt 266 00:19:30,539 --> 00:19:36,539 and you can lose data I found a thread though should we do that first before we 267 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:41,220 try for our fresh Windows so we enabled CSM and it should boot 268 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:46,919 and then there's a link here how to convert Legacy BIOS to UEFI in Windows 269 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:52,320 there's a tool whoa whoa whoa apparently this has gotten easier there's a tool 270 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:54,960 called mbr2gpt introduced in Windows 10 271 00:19:52,320 --> 00:20:00,299 that lets you convert Legacy files to ue5 with just two commands what make 272 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:03,840 Tech easier.com shout out apparently this tool is in the advanced startup 273 00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:11,880 screen so we need to restart while holding shift okay let's see here 274 00:20:07,940 --> 00:20:15,000 mbr2 GPT validate meanwhile upstairs 275 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:17,460 it's been 20 minutes and these drivers 276 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:22,140 are still installing that's a good sign even ignoring my missing cables we're 277 00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:26,340 off to a pretty bad start here we've got the one machine that has an older 278 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:30,240 install of Windows that's not compatible with resizable bar which is going to 279 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:35,760 hurt performance even more and then a second machine that is completely 280 00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:37,919 compatible and just is crapping the bed 281 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:43,140 just trying to install the driver you think it worked Maybe 282 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:46,679 okay about to find out enabled enabled if this boots that would be incredible 283 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:50,940 because it means we all get to go home I mean I'm home but I get to enjoy my 284 00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:56,120 home oh you might have done it that's pretty good yeah that's pretty good what 285 00:20:52,679 --> 00:20:56,120 we're seeing right there we like this 286 00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:06,600 oh come on it's bad magic come on get it 287 00:21:04,620 --> 00:21:13,020 together uh all the fans quieted down 288 00:21:10,140 --> 00:21:16,380 hold on hold on maybe it's just a little confused 289 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:21,480 and it's going to the VR headset I've seen that before 290 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:23,760 it's here we did it holy crap we're in 291 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:27,360 we hacked the Mainframe uh now I just got to put that display 292 00:21:25,140 --> 00:21:33,900 port back in come on baby oh yes good good oh uh it was there briefly that TV 293 00:21:31,740 --> 00:21:37,320 just turned off I think so yeah oh there we go we did it hey 294 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:42,000 okay let's go this is not good at all the 295 00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:45,720 only reference I can find to someone trying to run an arc GPU and a valve 296 00:21:44,039 --> 00:21:49,260 index is asking if anyone else is having problems 297 00:21:47,580 --> 00:21:55,440 because they can't get it to launch yeah I had a little bit of searching and the only thing I could find was someone that 298 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,659 tried to use a rift s with an a750 and 299 00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:02,640 could not they would just get a display board and unknown USB device error no VR 300 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:07,260 for a month I feel like this can only go uphill from 301 00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:13,080 here but maybe Intel will find a way to prove me wrong 302 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:15,419 this sucks unlike our sponsor uh no Luke 303 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:23,039 and I are still gonna game tonight this is extremely choppy for me 304 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:25,740 whoa my FPS is at uh nine right now what 305 00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:31,559 the heck this is not good my GPU encoding just outright crashed so I'm 306 00:22:28,679 --> 00:22:34,679 back with CPU encoding I mean it like Works 307 00:22:32,940 --> 00:22:39,720 um it seems to be kind of
