so you think your computer's cool with its 150 FPS and doom maybe it is but how
does it fair when you roll 7,000 wheels of cheese down a hill stress testing
with Ida and fermar is for Chumps compared to exploiting hilarious
features of popular game engines you see
every once in a while a video comes out of someone doing something silly in a
video game that looks rather impressive while completely crippling their
computers per performance we've got examples like the classic 3,000 Barrel
explosion in crisis 1 the previously mentioned thousands of cheese wheels
rolling down a hill in Skyrim tons of TNT altering the landscape of the map in
Minecraft and most recently a huge
amount of nuke mines going off in Fallout 4 they're fun because of the
insane amount of physics events usually
cause computers of mere mortals to
figuratively melt but we here at lineus Tech tips have a literal Warehouse of
high-end Hardware so equipped with a 6850k a couple of NVIDIA $1,200 Titan XP
graphics cards and a 10 Core Extreme edition
6950x let's see if we can hold these be
off Intel skull Canyon Nook features a sixth generation core i7 processor and
Thunderbolt 3 you can learn more at the link in the video description first
things first let's start with test subject number one which is what I'm
calling our first test bench there isn't going to be much changes but still it's
got a 5820k for its processor which is cooled by a big dual rad and we have a
Titan XP along with 32 gigs of RAM so
it's a ridiculously high-end system already and we'll be upgrading it later
on moving on down from here we're following the HDMI cable all the way
down to the HDMI splitter as you can see
we have three cables here because I need to see what's going on and we need to
record it so one of these cables comes up to our Avio
4K um epam capture card and that goes
into this laptop which will be capturing the footage so we can show that to you
guys on the green screen and then if we rotate a little bit I have my own
monitor that I can see off to the side so I edited the Island map in Crisis 3
to add like 3,500 explosive barrels I think it is
right now in fraps I'm getting about 60 to 70 FPS but it does feel a little
sluggish you can see all these barrels floating in the air here now if I happen
to bump into one of them that would start a cascading physics event similar
to how dominoes work but because there's so many of them it's going to cause the
computer to have some problems so let's try this I'm just going to bump into the
barrel oh and you can see see I'm just kind of like sliding around here and
physics events are repeating so it's teleporting me back close to the barrels
hurting me a little bit moving all the barrels by a chunk and then teleporting
me back so running into the barrels is actually worse than blowing them up
which is kind of funny so let's blow them up so begin The fraps Benchmark and
fire the bullet you can see the shell on the right side of the gun actually lags
as it's coming out and then as the explo expon happens you'll notice that there's
a little bit of repetition in style that's because each one of the barrels
is blowing up the same way as all the other barrels there's an insane amount
of things just flying around the screen
right now and you can see them moving in chunks and you can actually notice that
the different physics events are being updated at different times because as
big Luke is pointing at right now the barrel explosions are all happening at a
faster rate than the barrel fragments are flying away from them and you can
see the water moving at its own rate as well and now that the explosions are all
done the fragments from the barrels are starting to move at a much higher rate
the overall frame rate of the computer is picking up so we're at about 24 FPS
right now there is still a lot of stuff flying around again I can move somewhat
okay it is very chunky but the swaying
movement of my gun on the screen is actually totally fine the only problem
is my actual movement across the map and
there's still still a huge amount of barrel fragments in the air now if we
can get over to the pile of where the barrels are yeah here we go you can see
that there's just a huge amount of tops and bottoms of barrels this is what I
was talking about how it kind of multiplies the amount of things that are in the scene if I bump into them I even
jutter and get hurt and will probably eventually die and the game's going to
lag out a little bit as all the barrels kind of move themselves anyways this was
cool move on to the next one for our next experiment we will need Elder
Scrolls Skyrim find your favorite Hill or Mountain Side stand up on it save
your game so you can come back to it more easily because your computer May
crash open up your console by pressing one of the buttons in the top leftand is
corner of your computer also known as Tilda and now that we have unlocked the
power of the console we will summon our wheels of
cheese you will do this by typing in
player.pl at me space 0000 6 4 b36 just
think of it of our as our evil incantation then we will put in the
amount that we want to summon in this case 1,000 because we haven't summoned
any yet so we're not super worried about the performance effects we will press
enter you will see cheese appear on the screen but not much happen you then need
to lower the console by pressing the till the button and
then all of the cheese but that is not
enough we have not seen a Major Performance impact on the fraps number
in in the lower corner so we must summon more press the till the Key again press
the up Arrow key to bring back our previous incantation press the enter
button again because we want a thousand more wheels of cheese press the till the
button for it to go away and more cheese is summoned let's move
up to 6,000 this is usually where I start having problems 6,000 6,500 is a
pretty bad time in terms of how the computer's going to be able to manage
things you can see some of the last bits of cheese that are coming from my most
recent incantation are still trickling
down the hill because everything's just going so slowly at this point so we're
now sitting about four or 5 FPS time to be relentless oh NOP NOP NOP we have
apparently been Relentless enough the computer is done there will be no more
cheese summoning today sir so next up we
have Fallout 4 where we're going to throw down uh well the original plan was
5,000 nuke mines okay so one thing I'm going to do right now is just save the
game new save file and then load it just
to kind of make sure that everything's good because I do need to run this test
twice okay oh dear that doesn't look
good at all uh I'm pretty sure every time I load the
save files oh okay yeah I don't know what it's
doing now hopefully it's going to work apparently every time that I load the
save game with my my 500 mines laid down
it explodes so um we're going to pretend
that I wasn't going to do this Benchmark and we're going to move on to Minecraft
our plan here is to suddenly and drastically change a part of the map
we're going to do that with 1,000 blocks of TNT in a 10x 10x 10 column going
straight down into the Earth man this is actually surprisingly easy with creative
mode I've never really played creative mode much and just as a note you will
need Flint
what oh okay I screwed up pull the Flint again right click there we go then I'm G
to oh God fly away please we're going to watch it
explode oh my freaking goodness that
didn't hurt the computer that much we only went down to about 16 FPS minimum
and you can see just how cool that was
we created this like massive well okay
we opened up a massive cave system that was already here and we made this like
huge waterfall which was actually just a river before now the river leads to this
giant waterfall that goes into the cave system that looks super cool and the
computer actually dealt with it pretty well okay so I had all of that prepared
ahead of time but what I don't know is if upgrading the hardware from here by
adding another two CPU cores and another
video card will let us push further so let's swap Hardware to a 6950x and add
in another Titan XP and try all those
tests again rapid fire we're going to drop in here hit it with some Flint go
back up oh jeez there we go and watch as
it goes down oh all the way down to 3
FPS and it completely destroyed everything actually oh yeah it took a
sec there to load the map I don't think I would say that that performed any
better than the previous one to the point where I might actually say it
performed worse 1,000 wheels of cheese
fly down the mountain ah ah ah ah
2,000 wheels of cheese fly down the mountain uh uh uh uh 6,000 wheels of
cheese and we're now dropping down to about 6 FPS we're getting a little bit
lower than before so test subject number two just aired out at about 7,000 wheels
of cheese that is worse than test subject number one but I don't know how
much stock I would take in that as test subject number one usually was erroring
out at about 6500 wheels of cheese okay
so this is the only one that we're actually running fraps for and it begins
you can see the shell lagging just as before all right so that was actually a
pretty huge Improvement we went from 6.4
to 8542 FPS that's pretty significant when
you're at that low of a number so if your use case for your computer is
constantly staring at 35,000 barrels exploding in crisis 1 I would definitely
recommend two Titan x's and a 6950x but
if not you probably don't have to go that hardcore in terms of Hardware I
know this was a ridiculously silly video but I had fun I hope you did as well if
you liked it like it and get subscribed and all that kind of stuff and if you're like this video is useless and adds
nothing to the overall conversation and you should be more intellectual about
your videos and this was terrible you can hit the dislike button that would be
fine check out Amazon in the description down below if this somehow inspired you
to buy something also check out the link in the description down below to find a
shirt we have some cool lus Media Group shirts that you can pick up uh watch
this video which is our review announcement video thing on the 6950x
where we discuss how ridiculously expensive it is cuz holy crap
