WEBVTT 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 00:00:06.319 --> 00:00:12.960 it was from dell and the thing is a creator's dream thanks to its 100 00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:17.680 coverage of the adobe RGB color space and true 10-bit color 00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:22.080 the only problem is that come on to be truly creative especially when you've 00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:28.480 got a bunch of different design tools and file explorers and web browsers open 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:31.439 you really need a multi-monitor setup 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:36.239 and now we have just that today we're going to be 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:41.840 showing off a badass workstation with not one but two 8k monitors and we're 00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:48.399 going to be powering those things with NVIDIA's brand spanking new nine 00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:51.039 thousand dollar quadro gv 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:55.199 100 and this video is brought to you by mack 00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:59.280 weldon mack weldon makes high quality shirts socks wallets and more they 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:04.680 believe in simple shopping and if you use code tech tips you'll get 20 off 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:12.720 through the link below 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 00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:26.240 ultimate workstation at this point we ended up choosing a very subdued case so 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:28.080 this is the Corsair 600 q and unlike a 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 00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:37.680 no tempered glass no nothing it's just a 00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:42.079 plain black box with a nice included fan controller and 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 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:50.320 CPU we went with obviously the core i9 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 00:01:52.799 --> 00:02:01.040 crazy like that we've got 00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:02.799 128 gigs of g-skills tridency RGB RAM 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 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 00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:16.640 ws x299 sage now we could have gone with 00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:19.120 the ws c422 pro sc that we checked out 00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:22.480 recently but we determined in our video covering the xeon w for the 2066 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:28.879 platform that the value just wasn't really there 00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:33.120 unless you need ecc RAM and besides the 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:35.120 x299 sage has seven pci express slots 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:40.720 meaning we can put basically anything we'd want in here for our ssds we went 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:43.680 with two samsung 960 pros each of them 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 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:51.140 80 plus titanium unit it's only 750 00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:53.440 watts but quite frankly 00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:59.280 quite frankly that's more than we really need anyway 00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:05.440 bringing us to of course the centerpiece the quadro gv100 we've 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 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:14.400 can use to not only double your processing power but also share RAM 00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:18.000 between them but for the kinds of workloads that 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 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:27.280 will actually need more RAM than one of these cards has 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:33.319 each of them is equipped with 32 gigabytes of high-speed hbm2 memory to 00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:40.480 go along with their 5 120 cuda cores and 640 tensor cores so 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:46.080 these are designed not just for your sort of traditional workstation usage 00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:47.760 but also for ai and deep learning 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.680 applications let's go ahead and get it installed 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 00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:05.040 single one of the displayport 1.4 outputs on this card because each of our 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:05.040 8k monitors requires two of them 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 00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:20.239 tour of our desk here because as you might have noticed it looks really 00:04:17.440 --> 00:04:24.560 different from one of our more typical gaming setups because when your focus is 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:29.040 productivity the kind of gear that you're using needs 00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:33.919 to be a little bit different so first of all obviously we'll get to 00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:38.320 the visuals in a little bit here is sound 00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:40.720 now gamers might want speakers and the 00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:43.040 same actually goes for their headphones that 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:48.560 accentuate details that are important to gameplay 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:53.280 like say for example the frequency of footsteps so that they can pick out 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:58.160 where opponents are around them not so for content creators so these 00:04:55.520 --> 00:05:04.080 here are audio engines a5 plus bookshelves they have a flatter response 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:06.800 curve not quite like you would consider 00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:11.600 you know a studio monitor grade response curve but a flatter response curve and 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:17.199 they represent a good value because they can connect directly to your pc unlike 00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:21.360 some other monitors that used balanced xlr inputs for example 00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:25.840 now for audio again for the typical gamer pretty much 00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:30.720 anything will do you can actually use your onboard audio no issues there but 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:35.600 we've gone with a combination from audio so yes that is what they're 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 00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:48.160 using a valhalla 2 amp that should pair really nicely with our audeze lcd 2s now 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:50.000 to be clear the lcd 2s are especially 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 00:05:54.080 --> 00:06:02.000 of headphones but what they are is an open-backed design giving a very natural 00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:06.479 sound stage and they use planar magnetic drivers so 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:14.000 to put it in layman's terms they sound absolutely bitchin 00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:15.120 i mean this is something else obviously 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:22.160 we've seen one of them before but this amount 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 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.039 i change it to a hundred percent 00:06:29.440 --> 00:06:35.280 look how small the cursor is 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:39.360 look how small the start button is like 00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:43.280 here you open a web browser this is the default window size 00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:54.240 so while unlike the early days of 00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:56.479 monitor resolutions increasing 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:59.840 we don't necessarily get to benefit from it just 00:06:57.520 --> 00:07:04.319 scaling linearly the amount of desktop realistic date that we have the pixel 00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:08.080 density though the fineness of the image is 00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:14.840 absolutely incredible so each of these is 7680 by 4320 meaning 00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:22.240 that we've got a total of 67 million pixels total and of course 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:24.319 it's being driven at 60 hertz 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:28.319 like you can see individual feathers moving around i'm actually impressed 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:32.400 we're running this at full resolution right now is this 8k footage brandon 00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:38.880 the computer's definitely feeling the burn check this out 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:45.240 82 CPU usage 00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:45.240 but it's not buckling 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:52.880 not bad now that we've got a bigger project 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:56.080 loaded up it is definitely suffering a little bit more 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:59.759 but i think part of that might be a network bottleneck that's one thing that 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:03.599 we're still missing on this particular config but i think that we could fix 00:08:01.520 --> 00:08:07.520 pretty easily with a 10 gig card or something along those lines 00:08:05.440 --> 00:08:10.160 it is definitely nice to have all this real estate though like being able to 00:08:09.039 --> 00:08:14.479 watch at the maximum size of a preview 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.879 like what is effectively probably what like a 00:08:16.479 --> 00:08:25.879 720p video as you scrub through it like this 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.879 that's pretty incredible 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:33.279 check this out we can pick exactly the right moment for a thumbnail 00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:37.599 without even ever opening it i could actually watch a video like this 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 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:49.680 there was a way with our building layout to reconfigure our editor's machines 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:53.120 so that they can use monitors like this cause like all of a sudden you can 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:58.080 actually feel the stereo sound where applicable 00:08:55.680 --> 00:09:02.560 so like in the game for example and it sounds so much more natural than 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:06.959 when you have it pipe through headphones even really good ones 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:12.720 but i don't think any kind of extensive renovation like that is on the horizon 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:14.800 anytime soon and 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:20.080 neither is an upgrade to dual 8k monitors and a5 pluses for all of our 00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:23.760 editors anyway so 00:09:20.959 --> 00:09:27.200 yeah unless of course 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:31.040 we can do it with the help of sponsors like freshbooks freshbooks is the small 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:34.880 business accounting software that's custom built for
