1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,080 you may recall that we were one of the first to get our hands on an 8k monitor 2 00:00:06,319 --> 00:00:12,960 it was from dell and the thing is a creator's dream thanks to its 100 3 00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:17,680 coverage of the adobe RGB color space and true 10-bit color 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:22,080 the only problem is that come on to be truly creative especially when you've 5 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:28,480 got a bunch of different design tools and file explorers and web browsers open 6 00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:31,439 you really need a multi-monitor setup 7 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:36,239 and now we have just that today we're going to be 8 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:41,840 showing off a badass workstation with not one but two 8k monitors and we're 9 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:48,399 going to be powering those things with NVIDIA's brand spanking new nine 10 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:51,039 thousand dollar quadro gv 11 00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:55,199 100 and this video is brought to you by mack 12 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:59,280 weldon mack weldon makes high quality shirts socks wallets and more they 13 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:04,680 believe in simple shopping and if you use code tech tips you'll get 20 off 14 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:12,720 through the link below 15 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:19,520 so let's start by having a look at what we would consider to be basically an 16 00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:26,240 ultimate workstation at this point we ended up choosing a very subdued case so 17 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,080 this is the Corsair 600 q and unlike a 18 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:34,880 lot of the really popular options that are out there right now it's got no RGB 19 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:37,680 no tempered glass no nothing it's just a 20 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:42,079 plain black box with a nice included fan controller and 21 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:47,560 ample room for any kind of cooling you could possibly want to put in it for our 22 00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:50,320 CPU we went with obviously the core i9 23 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:55,799 7980xe so that's an 18 core processor turbo's up to 4.2 gigahertz or something 24 00:01:52,799 --> 00:02:01,040 crazy like that we've got 25 00:01:55,799 --> 00:02:02,799 128 gigs of g-skills tridency RGB RAM 26 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:07,439 okay yes i know it's RGB but that's not why we chose it it's just one of the 27 00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:12,959 only kits that we had a 128 gig kit of for our motherboard we've gone with ASUS 28 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:16,640 ws x299 sage now we could have gone with 29 00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:19,120 the ws c422 pro sc that we checked out 30 00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:22,480 recently but we determined in our video covering the xeon w for the 2066 31 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:28,879 platform that the value just wasn't really there 32 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:33,120 unless you need ecc RAM and besides the 33 00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:35,120 x299 sage has seven pci express slots 34 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:40,720 meaning we can put basically anything we'd want in here for our ssds we went 35 00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:43,680 with two samsung 960 pros each of them 36 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:49,040 512 gig running in raid 0 and then for our power supply we went with a c sonic 37 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,140 80 plus titanium unit it's only 750 38 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,440 watts but quite frankly 39 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:59,280 quite frankly that's more than we really need anyway 40 00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:05,440 bringing us to of course the centerpiece the quadro gv100 we've 41 00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:10,239 only got one of these so we won't be using the nv link connections that you 42 00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:14,400 can use to not only double your processing power but also share RAM 43 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,000 between them but for the kinds of workloads that 44 00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:23,280 we're going to be able to put on this thing anyway it's improbable that we 45 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:27,280 will actually need more RAM than one of these cards has 46 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:33,319 each of them is equipped with 32 gigabytes of high-speed hbm2 memory to 47 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:40,480 go along with their 5 120 cuda cores and 640 tensor cores so 48 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:46,080 these are designed not just for your sort of traditional workstation usage 49 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,760 but also for ai and deep learning 50 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,680 applications let's go ahead and get it installed 51 00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:56,959 all right now that we've got it in we can see we're going to be using every 52 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:05,040 single one of the displayport 1.4 outputs on this card because each of our 53 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,040 8k monitors requires two of them 54 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:15,280 okay so while we wait for this to power up i want to take you guys for a little 55 00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:20,239 tour of our desk here because as you might have noticed it looks really 56 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:24,560 different from one of our more typical gaming setups because when your focus is 57 00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:29,040 productivity the kind of gear that you're using needs 58 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:33,919 to be a little bit different so first of all obviously we'll get to 59 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:38,320 the visuals in a little bit here is sound 60 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,720 now gamers might want speakers and the 61 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,040 same actually goes for their headphones that 62 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:48,560 accentuate details that are important to gameplay 63 00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:53,280 like say for example the frequency of footsteps so that they can pick out 64 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:58,160 where opponents are around them not so for content creators so these 65 00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:04,080 here are audio engines a5 plus bookshelves they have a flatter response 66 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:06,800 curve not quite like you would consider 67 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:11,600 you know a studio monitor grade response curve but a flatter response curve and 68 00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:17,199 they represent a good value because they can connect directly to your pc unlike 69 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,360 some other monitors that used balanced xlr inputs for example 70 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:25,840 now for audio again for the typical gamer pretty much 71 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:30,720 anything will do you can actually use your onboard audio no issues there but 72 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:35,600 we've gone with a combination from audio so yes that is what they're 73 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:40,639 actually called i know so we've got our emoji ii this is a dac and then we're 74 00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:48,160 using a valhalla 2 amp that should pair really nicely with our audeze lcd 2s now 75 00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:50,000 to be clear the lcd 2s are especially 76 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:56,720 now that they've been replaced by other models not necessarily the be-all and end-all 77 00:05:54,080 --> 00:06:02,000 of headphones but what they are is an open-backed design giving a very natural 78 00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:06,479 sound stage and they use planar magnetic drivers so 79 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:14,000 to put it in layman's terms they sound absolutely bitchin 80 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,120 i mean this is something else obviously 81 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:22,160 we've seen one of them before but this amount 82 00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:29,039 of real estate so i mean we are scaled at 300 right now come check this out if 83 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,039 i change it to a hundred percent 84 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,280 look how small the cursor is 85 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:39,360 look how small the start button is like 86 00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:43,280 here you open a web browser this is the default window size 87 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:54,240 so while unlike the early days of 88 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:56,479 monitor resolutions increasing 89 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,840 we don't necessarily get to benefit from it just 90 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:04,319 scaling linearly the amount of desktop realistic date that we have the pixel 91 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:08,080 density though the fineness of the image is 92 00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:14,840 absolutely incredible so each of these is 7680 by 4320 meaning 93 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:22,240 that we've got a total of 67 million pixels total and of course 94 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:24,319 it's being driven at 60 hertz 95 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:28,319 like you can see individual feathers moving around i'm actually impressed 96 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:32,400 we're running this at full resolution right now is this 8k footage brandon 97 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,880 the computer's definitely feeling the burn check this out 98 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:45,240 82 CPU usage 99 00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:45,240 but it's not buckling 100 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,880 not bad now that we've got a bigger project 101 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:56,080 loaded up it is definitely suffering a little bit more 102 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,759 but i think part of that might be a network bottleneck that's one thing that 103 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,599 we're still missing on this particular config but i think that we could fix 104 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:07,520 pretty easily with a 10 gig card or something along those lines 105 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,160 it is definitely nice to have all this real estate though like being able to 106 00:08:09,039 --> 00:08:14,479 watch at the maximum size of a preview 107 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,879 like what is effectively probably what like a 108 00:08:16,479 --> 00:08:25,879 720p video as you scrub through it like this 109 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,879 that's pretty incredible 110 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:33,279 check this out we can pick exactly the right moment for a thumbnail 111 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:37,599 without even ever opening it i could actually watch a video like this 112 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:43,599 oh how did it remove virus again okay boom 785 bucks i gotta say i do wish 113 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:49,680 there was a way with our building layout to reconfigure our editor's machines 114 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:53,120 so that they can use monitors like this cause like all of a sudden you can 115 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:58,080 actually feel the stereo sound where applicable 116 00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:02,560 so like in the game for example and it sounds so much more natural than 117 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,959 when you have it pipe through headphones even really good ones 118 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:12,720 but i don't think any kind of extensive renovation like that is on the horizon 119 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:14,800 anytime soon and 120 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:20,080 neither is an upgrade to dual 8k monitors and a5 pluses for all of our 121 00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:23,760 editors anyway so 122 00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:27,200 yeah unless of course 123 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,040 we can do it with the help of sponsors like freshbooks freshbooks is the small 124 00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:34,880 business accounting software that's custom built for how
