4K is all the rage we got the 4K movie
pictures 4K gaming pictures 4K screen
savers 4K small hamsters running on Wheels in my basement to power the
machine that I'm planning to do actually I probably shouldn't talk about that you know what screw 4K anyway I'm over 4K
I'll see your 4K and I'll raise you 1K
to 5K and then I'll sweeten the pot with two NVIDIA GTX Titan X graphics cards
and SLI and well I guess you probably see where this is headed now 5K titanx
SLI performance
baby fractal design listens and the Define R5 case was made with feedback
from you the community click right there to learn more about
that so let's start with a quick recap
of the Titan X just so we're all on the same page it's $1,000 and out performs
the previous fastest single GPU card on the planet the GTX 980 by anywhere from
25 to 40% or more it's also got a
massive 12 Gigabyte gddr5 frame buffer
that I and probably many other reviewers and gamers are looking at going okay
that's cool but why and other than because we can the
best answer that I can come up with is the same one that prompted NVIDIA to put
6 gigs of RAM on the original Titan at the time when the highest end gaming
cards had 2 to three being ready for
higher resolutions and higher quality Textures in the future but the future is
a long way away and I might be dead by then so forget waiting we still haven't
gotten around to sending back the Dell up 275k 5K yes 5120 x 2880 14 freaking
megapixel monitor so when the Titan X rolled in the first thing I said was
well can you send me another one so I can run SLI on this 5K display and
NVIDIA was like no what what this is like the coolest
thing ever and you're saying no well they stuck by their no and uh so
when that whole attempt didn't work for me the instant I got that email I
started calling everyone I knew and within a few minutes
EVGA stepped up and overnighted their Titan X card to us so we could try out
the future of highresolution gaming and let you guys know all about it so I'm
going to hand off to Luke to give you the rundown on the 5K titanx SLI gaming
experience and thank you evj because holy this is
awesome this was my first time playing on 5K on a proper display and it's a
wondrous thing to behold due to the Titan X's SLI performance I was able to
smoothly Run games at an average of 50 FPS and above while getting nowhere
close to the 12 GB frame buffer and not even being overclocked with settings for
most games sitting at Ultra or equivalence my FPS counter never dipped
below 40 for minimums on any of my benchmarking runs and Crisis 3 the only
game that I didn't run at Max settings could have actually had it settings
crank to the max as well if I was willing to sacrifice some FPS but I kind
of thought that if you're spending two grand on your graphics cards that you're
probably going to want a better experience than 30fps gaming please note
that the default SLI profile for Shadow of Mordor is a little wonky on its own
and I would recommend following weed drunken guide on the Steam Community
Forums on how to easily fix this issue I was having quite a few problems with
really awkward frame rates before using this fix and even at relatively low
settings but after this fix everything was super smooth and if super smooth is
something that you're looking for well this pretty much actually sums up the
whole experience it's pretty awesome being able to jump into a fairly hard-
to- Run game at a massive resolution make no settings compromises and still
run at a beast frame rate speaking of
performance things Ting provides their customers with affordable and reliable
wireless coverage they claim that they're pay only for what use model
would save 98% of people money on their monthly cell phone bill but you don't
have to take their word for it if you head over to Linus doing.com you can try
out their savings calculator where you get to enter the information from your
last three Wireless bills letting them know what you used and what you paid and
then they'll be able to tell you how much you would have saved if you were on
Ting they have amazing customer service since employee people actually pick up
the phone where you'll get humans picking up the phone instead of robots
and they let everyone know that their service runs on the Sprint network so if
you check how Sprint coverage is in your area you'll know what kind of service
you'll receive with Ting and now they've opened up GSM compatibility to their now
iPhone 6 or 6 Plus will work on their network but the best part is that if you
use the link in the description down below when you sign up that's l.k.
you'll get a $25 off awesome new device or $25 off a service credit that's a
pretty decent payout for watching this little ad so check out Ting today and
check out the link in the video description for more all right guys what
do you guys think about the crazy Overkill dual Titans you think you'll need something like this for valve Vive
or Oculus or whatever because you'll need some pretty high resolutions at some pretty high frame rates while you
guys are here watching the video click like buttons subscribe buttons follow
buttons all that kind of stuff click all the buttons around the video that helps us out a bunch if you want to comment
down below that's also kind of cool I guess but it's better if you go over to
the Forum we'll actually read it there let me know do you guys think this is
overkill do you guys think this is something you'll need for really really
high frame rate really high resolution VR or something like a 5k display let me
know also while you're on the Forum check out the help us kind of support
Linus Media Group thing and do stuff like buy a shirt get stuff from our
Affiliates and sponsors and change your Amazon link because we'll get a small
Kickback every time you buy something and it really helps out a lot thank you guys for watching I'll see you next time
