1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,640
so my original plan for the obutto Revolution was to find the most ba

2
00:00:05,359 --> 00:00:12,320
monitor setup on the planet and take a look at this thing from a productivity

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:17,119
and gaming perspective allinone shot unfortunately and this is a super duper

4
00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:22,960
first world problem I ended up with a surround setup of three LG 31 muu 97

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:27,960
displays which are absolutely beautiful 31-in monitors but uh all add up to an

6
00:00:26,439 --> 00:00:33,120
ungodly 26.5 million pixel resolution that no

7
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:39,360
current graphics card setup could even hope to drive in modern AAA titles so in

8
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:45,079
my unintentional part one I talked about productivity and comfort because that

9
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:49,559
screen real estate and that flexibility of the setup and you can check that one

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:54,800
out here while I waited for auss to send me three Rog Swift pg278 Q gaming

11
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:58,440
monitors so that I could actually play some games on the bloody thing and by

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:03,559
the way that stick and throttle that you see uh the x55 the review of that is

13
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,559
coming

14
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:17,200
soon you can ensure Swift Victory with Corsair's highly responsive lightweight

15
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:21,280
gaming mouse their saber RGB click my face hopefully if Nick remembers The

16
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:26,520
annotation to learn more so I'll start with why I picked the

17
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,720
pg278 Q out of all the 1440p monitors on

18
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:34,520
the market it features Lightning Fast pixel response times a 144 hzz refresh

19
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:39,320
rate NVIDIA gsync um while I wouldn't recommend it for a pro photographer for

20
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,600
a TN monitor really not bad color reproduction in viewing angles the

21
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,040
second of which is especially critical in a surround setup and you know what

22
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:50,119
just screw it if you want to know more about this monitor it's great check out

23
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,399
my review of it here the next thing I'd like to address about this setup is that

24
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:58,240
while the pg278q aren't impossible to

25
00:01:55,399 --> 00:02:02,640
drive three of these suckers is still about 11 million pixels hardly Child's

26
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:07,479
Play so everything you're seeing demoed is on a very high-powered machine

27
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:13,080
running an Intel Core i7 5960x 8 Core Extreme Edition processor at 4.2 GHz

28
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:19,560
even overclocked 16 gigs of ddr4 memory and two gtx980 graphics cards in SLI so

29
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:24,599
with that out of the way the first step is to gear up the cockpit with my G25

30
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:29,640
racing wheel setup this process taught me a lot about both the versatility of

31
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:34,599
the oo um I ended up moving the chair back back quite a bit further moving the

32
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:38,959
foot pad down and reducing the angle of its incline so away from my feet I ended

33
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:43,519
up moving the wheel Mount closer to me tweaking shifter height and then I was

34
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:47,120
able to finally Bolt the wheel and foot pedals onto the revolution with the

35
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,680
conveniently pre-drilled holes and clipped the shifter into place and then

36
00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:55,720
with that down I sat down and promptly accidentally wrenched the shifter off

37
00:02:53,360 --> 00:03:00,120
the mount not because the mount is any less secure than it ever was before you

38
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:05,720
know when I had it clipped on to the table but because driving in the

39
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:08,799
revolution feels truly different from

40
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:11,120
driving at your desk my usual racing

41
00:03:08,799 --> 00:03:16,000
game complaints will all still exist until driving cockpits with motion

42
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:22,959
compensation get a lot more affordable but with everything so securely mounted

43
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:25,080
and a more carlike sitting posture I

44
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:29,599
definitely found myself falling into my real driving habits of slouching with

45
00:03:27,799 --> 00:03:33,760
one hand on the wheel and just throwing the shifter around into gear so I'd

46
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:38,000
recommend drilling your own holes for your shifter because accidentally

47
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,280
pulling it off was the one complaint that I really had about this config

48
00:03:39,799 --> 00:03:45,879
because everything else about it is just

49
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:50,799
better than doing this kind of thing at your desk I mean one of the reasons my

50
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:56,079
G25 mostly sits in a closet is that it is so inconvenient to set up and I

51
00:03:53,200 --> 00:04:01,560
always end up tearing it down when I do because it takes up so much space the

52
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:07,200
Evolution takes care of that by making your keyboard and mouse much more easily

53
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:11,560
accessible something that can be a huge Boon even when you are racing since so

54
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:16,079
many games are a pain in the butt to navigate with the buttons built into

55
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:20,239
your wheel so my final thoughts on using the obutto and the default racing

56
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:26,040
configuration are these this is the first time I've ever really felt like

57
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:28,639
the g25s toy grade build quality is just

58
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:32,800
not good enough it takes the experience to another level like to the point where

59
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:37,680
I found myself needing to wear shoes for better control and craving force

60
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:42,360
feedback pedals and a much more robust shifter unit and just it generally gave

61
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:46,840
me an understanding of why people get really really deep into this stuff but

62
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,160
with that said driving has never really been my thing anyway so the next step

63
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,880
for me was to use the optional flight stick Mount and convert to a flight Sim

64
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:59,680
cockpit the whole process took about half an hour including watching the one

65
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,960
minute guide on aut's website and involved removing the shifter Mount

66
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,280
adding the mount on the left for the throttle portion of my x55 and mounting

67
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:12,520
the joystick Mount you can put the joystick over on the right if you want

68
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,680
but I went with the center mount for a couple of reasons it does make the seat

69
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:21,520
a little more difficult to get into and out of but I find the center Mount more

70
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:25,600
natural and more authentic feeling with my hands on it and I found a great

71
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:29,919
solution to my complaints about the keyboard and mouse tray from my

72
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:34,479
productivity video having it mounted on the right hand side puts more support

73
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:39,520
under my mouse hand and causes it to shift around a lot less during use it

74
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:44,000
also makes the keyboard and mouse very accessible with the joystick in for

75
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:47,759
games that have FPS and flight elements so you can switch between them really

76
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:49,919
quickly and when you're done playing out right and you don't want the joystick in

77
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:55,240
the way and you want to bring the keyboard mouse a little closer you just pull one Knob Off put it aside and

78
00:05:53,919 --> 00:05:58,880
you're ready to use it as a normal computer one thing that sketched me out

79
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:03,919
a little bit about all of this was the double-sided mounting T tape that o

80
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:08,680
expects you to use to Mount Your hotas but I was pleasantly surprised when I

81
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:12,680
simply placed the throttle down on its Mount to check the location and almost

82
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:17,280
couldn't get it off to reposition it this is some serious business tape and

83
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:20,919
it should hold out for a long time so let's talk about actually using it

84
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:26,039
though right well um if you're into flight games and all I can really say is

85
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:30,039
loads of fun and then I can try to find different ways to say loads of fun for

86
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:34,639
the next couple of minutes it's cuz it's freaking awesome I fired up Star Citizen

87
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:39,720
Elite dangerous and an old favorite of mine X-Wing and everything I said about

88
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:43,319
racing games definitely applies here except to a genre of games that I

89
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:48,160
generally find a lot more entertaining and interesting even if I also suck at

90
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:52,319
these I definitely found Star Citizen a little tough to play Because at this

91
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:58,080
resolution I was dipping well under 30 FPS even at low details but Elite

92
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:02,840
dangerous ran at over 60 FPS which especially with gsync looks butter

93
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:07,240
smooth and was just a blast to play around with so it's time to draw my

94
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:11,199
final conclusions about the abuto revolution cuz there won't be a part

95
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:16,160
three to this after my first video I wasn't completely sold on it as a daily

96
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:20,960
driver workstation it's an okay chair on an incredibly versatile seemingly

97
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:26,800
infinitely adjustable monitor SL peripheral Mount thing which is cool

98
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:33,120
really cool but not cool enough to justify how much space it takes up in my

99
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:35,000
house after gaming on it I'm really

100
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,560
trying to figure out a way to get my wife to let me keep this thing even if I

101
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:44,000
have to put it in the garage and wear a jacket when I use it it's really really

102
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:48,879
freaking cool once you've done it up right with the correct displays and

103
00:07:46,479 --> 00:07:53,199
accessories and if you're a racing or flight Enthusiast with a couple Grand to

104
00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:56,759
burn then there's two things I have to say to you number one can I be your

105
00:07:55,159 --> 00:08:02,199
friend you seem like a pretty cool baller sort of individual and two don't

106
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:07,120
even think about trying one of these things because your Enthusiast status is

107
00:08:04,919 --> 00:08:11,560
about to reach newer crazier Heights and that money you had to burn well you

108
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:14,759
won't have it anymore so guys that's pretty much it thanks for watching like

lonus tech tips Forum I'm going to be monitoring that much more closely than

111
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:26,400
the comments on YouTube um for a variety of reasons many of which will become

112
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,879
clear in the future one of which has to do with if you sign up for our Forum
