today for you ladies and gentlemen i have the privilege nay the honor of
being the first outside of NVIDIA to experience 8k gaming on this lg zx
series 88-inch OLED gaming grade tv with
i can't move this with the rtx 3090 the
first legitimately 8k capable graphics
card in the world it's got 24 gigs of gddr6 memory over 10 000 cuda cores and
i'm gonna be hands on we're gonna actually play games let's freaking do it
oh and this video is sponsored by NVIDIA because
how how on earth else would i get my hands on it obviously
now NVIDIA wouldn't actually clarify exactly what was in here but based on
the fact that there aren't a whole lot of 8k OLED tvs in the world
i'm guessing this is the zx 88 inch which is
i kid you not ladies and gentlemen a 30
000 tv i mean at that point how could you
not afford an rtx 3090
oh you know what it probably is it's gotta be the stand
really that's why this freaking thing weighs so
much because of the stand
yep that's why one two three hup here we go
hold okay
wow so that's what 30 grand gets you
that and a gigantic hunk of aluminum what do you think vaughn tv upgrade for
the living room that's what she said 4hdmi is one with
e-arc i've still got that composite in
love it there it is ladies and gentlemen
8k peel theoretically we're ready
but are you ready for the world's first
8k gaming graphics card
i'm so excited holy sh
oh my god look how big it is
i've seen dual GPU graphics cards like
those ares cards or whatever from back in the day
that are smaller than this damn boy
so this is a 2080 ti strix remember this
is like uh like an add-in card like
third-party design i mean we would mock this thing back in the day for being
triple slots basically cheating this is a 1080 ti for scale so here's an rtx
2060 i mean in sheer weight alone like i
think you're getting about as much GPU per weight here in spite of the price
just like the rtx 3080 which we've already covered extensively this puppy
features a dual fan design with the bottom one so you can see it goes into
your system this way so the bottom one is blowing out kind of this way and look
at that that is a wide boy
pci back plate so also out the back of the system and then the fan on the top
right there actually spinning in a way that's sort of counter-intuitive if you look at it
so it's actually spinning counterclockwise and sucking air out
from under the card you can see right here you can actually get a good look at
them if you look through the card so these heat pipes are running along the
top of the cooler here and it's sucking air through this heat pipe equipped
heatsink right here it uses the same 12-pin power connector that can be fed
with dual eight pins off of i presumably included adapter and it's pci express
gen 4 it's got 24 gigs
of GDDR 6x memory and triple display
port outputs along with HDMI 2.1 so that
is the special sauce that's going to let us run 8k
60 hertz without any adapters or any
weird tricks single cable enough talk now
let's get it installed now for those of you who don't you know play around with
graphics cards every day maybe this will put it in perspective properly for you
this is what this card looks like in a
gigantic like gaming grade case you
might not even be able to have adapter hang out here and still get your side
panel closed some cases just won't be wide enough this is a great case
configuration for a card like this so we've got all our fresh air coming in
from the bottom straight into our rtx 3090 and then yeah the CPU yeah you can
use whatever's left over let's say 10 900 k yeah all right good stuff
so far so good we've got an output to our 8k display but last time i tried to
game at 8k i also got this far without too much
trouble then when i tried to actually apply the settings
it all went downhill hopefully this is as simple as 7680 by
4320 recommended keep changes
and it's running at 60 hertz holy crap
james the default scaling is 500 percent
let's go 400 hey there we go
you want 100 you you want you just want to see it don't you
all right hey what was the screen door effect distance on that uh
uh was an 86 inch right 4k five feet
holy crap i think it's like maybe 18 inches on
this like this is completely usable
at a hundred percent look at that automatic g-sync freaking love it who
needs tearing anyway and let's be realistic if we drop below 60 FPS
we want it to maintain as much smoothness as possible that's going to
help with that actually you know what okay it's different though screen door
effect versus not being able to distinguish an individual pixel so
screen door effect there's just like really nothing on this until you get
within 12 to 18 inches but yeah you're probably right it's probably about two and a half feet
so just shy of a meter before i can't make out an individual
pixel at all like i could conceivably game
right here and not see an individual pixel this is crazy i dialed in the
settings that NVIDIA recommended for this game which shockingly has us
running at 8k nightmare yeah nightmare quality it's so
smooth like what the hell in some ways it's almost too
high-res like it makes it look
more fake when a really really detailed model is sitting up against a less
detailed texture like we are going to need games to have 8k textures
i've never properly appreciated the detail of this model before and remember
i have no anti-aliasing enabled there's like you can find the tiniest stair step
if i'm within 12 inches of these very
high contrast edges from here
anti-aliasing is officially dead totally unnecessary you know what i do
have this sweet foil keyboard shirt ldt
store.com this looks insane
not only that this is running at a locked 60 FPS HDR on this is without a
doubt the highest fidelity gaming i have ever experienced i mean it's objectively
the highest fidelity gaming i have ever experienced there's no real debate to be
had ah HDR recording works now oh come on
don't die don't die Linus no no no no i gotta harvest the health
from the bad dudes i gotta get the ammo
oh oh we saw a little dip we went to 57
FPS you know what forget it throw it in the garbage rtx 390 it's junk now
you can't can't keep it completely locked at 60 the whole time i'm done i'm
out i'm returning it this is freaking crazy the fact that
it's so big and you still can't make out a single pixel brandon what do you think
does that look nuts or what it's 88 inches but it still looks good
look at this look at this i mean under normal circumstances yeah i
would probably you know want higher refresh rate and i
would trade some resolution for that but if i'm playing more of a sightseeing
type game you're never gonna see sites like this
like just so much more appreciation for the detail of these environments at this
resolution look at this that's the great thing about gaming right is like a film
that gets you know retouched and remastered you can kind of go back and
re-enjoy something on you know a fresh upgrade and see it in a completely new
light like i've looked at this level so much
because i use it as a benchmark but i've never seen it like this
define better like i'm not performing better but it's not about that
it's just awe-inspiring so we're gonna run on high really high
and this is without upscaling we're not even using dlss
good luck everybody native ak boys
find me a jagged line i challenge you even in the foliage on
the trees man i mean youtube is not gonna have a chance of even remotely
conveying what this looks like with all the compression
like even a house on the side of the road let alone i mean we know they spent
so much time on the car models for games like this but even the house on the side
of the road looks good
get out of here oh wow okay so you can wreck stuff apparently
hey how's it going there buddy i missed
you global reflections hi sure thankfully
everyone at NVIDIA has the same taste as me none of that
ray traced reflections ray trace transparent reflections
we're not going to try for ray traced contact shadows trace debris or
indirect diffuse lighting okay then
control is going to be the first game that we're trying using dlss so that is
NVIDIA's deep learning super sampling so this is going to be a real test because
we're actually only rendering the game at 2560 by 1440 and then we're counting
on NVIDIA's deep learning technology to up sample it to 8k
now i've got some experience with NVIDIA's up sampling tech from their
NVIDIA shield pretty darn impressive there and dlss
has only gotten better since it first launched what i want to know
is how does it look if i get real up close here because
1440p is a lot lower than 8k
yeah i mean i guess here let me let me move let me move the character around a
little bit stay there i'm just gonna walk because i don't want
the motion blur to color people's perception
pretty fine looking like look at this map over here brandon
we are limited by the quality of that texture at this point i think
i collect rocks all i know is we run it
at 60 FPS boys now for death stranding we're running at
a combination of high and very high settings 8k with ultra performance dlss
enabled let's have a look at how it looks what do you think david does this
uh look a little better than on the playstation uh
about four times better
this is kind of like when we went from giant pixels to
okay if like i moved back and squint a little i won't see the pixels
except i don't have to move back and i don't have to squint where's the pixel
at
oh that's all for now stay tuned on the channel for our performance review where
we're going to be getting in depth with the rtx 3090 make sure you're subscribed
so you don't miss that but for now all that's left to say is thanks
NVIDIA for sponsoring this video thanks you guys for watching it i
this is unlike anything i've ever done before
uh this yeah this was this was a ton of
fun i just can't even i don't even know what else to say about it if you guys
enjoyed this video maybe check out uh i mean what on earth have we done that's
anything like this uh yeah sure check out 16k gaming i
guess but like the performance sucked like it was big but it wasn't
it wasn't beautiful man we could even revisit that with all the outputs on
this you got four outputs
