00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:07.640
so my original plan for the obutto Revolution was to find the most ba

00:00:05.359 --> 00:00:12.320
monitor setup on the planet and take a look at this thing from a productivity

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:17.119
and gaming perspective allinone shot unfortunately and this is a super duper

00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:22.960
first world problem I ended up with a surround setup of three LG 31 muu 97

00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:27.960
displays which are absolutely beautiful 31-in monitors but uh all add up to an

00:00:26.439 --> 00:00:33.120
ungodly 26.5 million pixel resolution that no

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:39.360
current graphics card setup could even hope to drive in modern AAA titles so in

00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:45.079
my unintentional part one I talked about productivity and comfort because that

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:49.559
screen real estate and that flexibility of the setup and you can check that one

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:54.800
out here while I waited for auss to send me three Rog Swift pg278 Q gaming

00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:58.440
monitors so that I could actually play some games on the bloody thing and by

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

00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:03.559
coming

00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:17.200
soon you can ensure Swift Victory with Corsair's highly responsive lightweight

00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:21.280
gaming mouse their saber RGB click my face hopefully if Nick remembers The

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:26.520
annotation to learn more so I'll start with why I picked the

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:28.720
pg278 Q out of all the 1440p monitors on

00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:34.520
the market it features Lightning Fast pixel response times a 144 hzz refresh

00:01:31.720 --> 00:01:39.320
rate NVIDIA gsync um while I wouldn't recommend it for a pro photographer for

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.600
a TN monitor really not bad color reproduction in viewing angles the

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:46.040
second of which is especially critical in a surround setup and you know what

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

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

00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:58.240
while the pg278q aren't impossible to

00:01:55.399 --> 00:02:02.640
drive three of these suckers is still about 11 million pixels hardly Child's

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:07.479
Play so everything you're seeing demoed is on a very high-powered machine

00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:13.080
running an Intel Core i7 5960x 8 Core Extreme Edition processor at 4.2 GHz

00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:19.560
even overclocked 16 gigs of ddr4 memory and two gtx980 graphics cards in SLI so

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

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:29.640
racing wheel setup this process taught me a lot about both the versatility of

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

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

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:43.519
up moving the wheel Mount closer to me tweaking shifter height and then I was

00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:47.120
able to finally Bolt the wheel and foot pedals onto the revolution with the

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:51.680
conveniently pre-drilled holes and clipped the shifter into place and then

00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:55.720
with that down I sat down and promptly accidentally wrenched the shifter off

00:02:53.360 --> 00:03:00.120
the mount not because the mount is any less secure than it ever was before you

00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:05.720
know when I had it clipped on to the table but because driving in the

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:08.799
revolution feels truly different from

00:03:05.720 --> 00:03:11.120
driving at your desk my usual racing

00:03:08.799 --> 00:03:16.000
game complaints will all still exist until driving cockpits with motion

00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:22.959
compensation get a lot more affordable but with everything so securely mounted

00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:25.080
and a more carlike sitting posture I

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:29.599
definitely found myself falling into my real driving habits of slouching with

00:03:27.799 --> 00:03:33.760
one hand on the wheel and just throwing the shifter around into gear so I'd

00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:38.000
recommend drilling your own holes for your shifter because accidentally

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:43.280
pulling it off was the one complaint that I really had about this config

00:03:39.799 --> 00:03:45.879
because everything else about it is just

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

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

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

00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:07.200
Evolution takes care of that by making your keyboard and mouse much more easily

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:11.560
accessible something that can be a huge Boon even when you are racing since so

00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:16.079
many games are a pain in the butt to navigate with the buttons built into

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:20.239
your wheel so my final thoughts on using the obutto and the default racing

00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:26.040
configuration are these this is the first time I've ever really felt like

00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:28.639
the g25s toy grade build quality is just

00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:32.800
not good enough it takes the experience to another level like to the point where

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:37.680
I found myself needing to wear shoes for better control and craving force

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:42.360
feedback pedals and a much more robust shifter unit and just it generally gave

00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:46.840
me an understanding of why people get really really deep into this stuff but

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:51.160
with that said driving has never really been my thing anyway so the next step

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:55.880
for me was to use the optional flight stick Mount and convert to a flight Sim

00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:59.680
cockpit the whole process took about half an hour including watching the one

00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:02.960
minute guide on aut's website and involved removing the shifter Mount

00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:08.280
adding the mount on the left for the throttle portion of my x55 and mounting

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:12.520
the joystick Mount you can put the joystick over on the right if you want

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

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

00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:25.600
natural and more authentic feeling with my hands on it and I found a great

00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:29.919
solution to my complaints about the keyboard and mouse tray from my

00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:34.479
productivity video having it mounted on the right hand side puts more support

00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:39.520
under my mouse hand and causes it to shift around a lot less during use it

00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:44.000
also makes the keyboard and mouse very accessible with the joystick in for

00:05:41.880 --> 00:05:47.759
games that have FPS and flight elements so you can switch between them really

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

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

00:05:53.919 --> 00:05:58.880
you're ready to use it as a normal computer one thing that sketched me out

00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:03.919
a little bit about all of this was the double-sided mounting T tape that o

00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:08.680
expects you to use to Mount Your hotas but I was pleasantly surprised when I

00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:12.680
simply placed the throttle down on its Mount to check the location and almost

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:17.280
couldn't get it off to reposition it this is some serious business tape and

00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:20.919
it should hold out for a long time so let's talk about actually using it

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

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

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

00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:39.720
Elite dangerous and an old favorite of mine X-Wing and everything I said about

00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:43.319
racing games definitely applies here except to a genre of games that I

00:06:41.400 --> 00:06:48.160
generally find a lot more entertaining and interesting even if I also suck at

00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:52.319
these I definitely found Star Citizen a little tough to play Because at this

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:58.080
resolution I was dipping well under 30 FPS even at low details but Elite

00:06:55.240 --> 00:07:02.840
dangerous ran at over 60 FPS which especially with gsync looks butter

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

00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:11.199
final conclusions about the abuto revolution cuz there won't be a part

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

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:20.960
driver workstation it's an okay chair on an incredibly versatile seemingly

00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:26.800
infinitely adjustable monitor SL peripheral Mount thing which is cool

00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:33.120
really cool but not cool enough to justify how much space it takes up in my

00:07:29.960 --> 00:07:35.000
house after gaming on it I'm really

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

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

00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:48.879
freaking cool once you've done it up right with the correct displays and

00:07:46.479 --> 00:07:53.199
accessories and if you're a racing or flight Enthusiast with a couple Grand to

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

00:07:55.159 --> 00:08:02.199
friend you seem like a pretty cool baller sort of individual and two don't

00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:07.120
even think about trying one of these things because your Enthusiast status is

00:08:04.919 --> 00:08:11.560
about to reach newer crazier Heights and that money you had to burn well you

00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:14.759
won't have it anymore so guys that's pretty much it thanks for watching like

00:08:13.280 --> 00:08:18.400
this video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment on the

00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:23.159
lonus tech tips Forum I'm going to be monitoring that much more closely than

00:08:20.440 --> 00:08:26.400
the comments on YouTube um for a variety of reasons many of which will become

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
