WEBVTT

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.480
it is a hot day and you know what's refreshing on a

00:00:03.959 --> 00:00:11.360
hot day these guys aren't a sponsor no today what we're gonna be doing is we're

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:17.400
going to be taking gsync so this is the Green Team over here this green graphics

00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:20.519
card and that black monitor with a red lighter okay don't worry too much about

00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:25.760
it that's the Green Team over there and then on the red team we have the R9 Fury

00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:32.239
X which is actually inside this computer right now and the BenQ XL 2730

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:38.200
Z so I would consider that and the Rog Swift pg278 Q pretty much equivalent as

00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:41.320
far as a gsync versus a freesync monitor goes so we're going to be doing

00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:47.600
something pretty interesting we're going to be taking a look at which g-sync or

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:50.680
freesync both with 144hz displays offers

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:53.960
the lowest input leg so the least

00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:58.240
latency between pressing the mouse and

00:00:53.960 --> 00:01:06.640
firing the gun stay tuned

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:12.680
vote for turnup it's a shirt I don't have one so we're going to do our best

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:15.799
to demo what it looks like and this is not what the real shirt looks like it

00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:20.240
looks a little more like this but we didn't have a sample to show you guys so

00:01:17.759 --> 00:01:24.240
this had to do uh you can stay tuned after the outro for bonus footage of the

00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:29.240
creation of this masterpiece if you're into that sort of thing so the first

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:35.000
thing I'll need to do is uh oh yeah guys this just arrived today drop a like on

00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:37.479
the video if you want to see the uh 3dr

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:41.240
solo taken for a test drive we've actually got some pretty good ideas

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:45.600
burkel who just about killed himself recently on his mountain bike wants to

00:01:43.399 --> 00:01:49.680
test the follow feature on his bike so drop a dislike if you think that that's

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:53.680
a terrible idea and we should actually go ahead and just review it

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:59.600
normally so the first thing we're going to need is on my desk over here now one

00:01:56.600 --> 00:02:01.560
of the better uh methodologies that I

00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:04.799
found online and I love those guys over at blur Busters they make my job so much

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:11.599
easier uh one of the better methodologies I found online is to have

00:02:07.399 --> 00:02:13.599
an LED that illuminates on an input to

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:17.800
the computer so in this case we're going to be using the Makey Makey which has

00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.599
indicator LEDs on board and then we're just going to go ahead and we're going

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:25.120
to do a mouse click that's going to light up and then we're going to be able

00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:30.400
to see how many milliseconds it takes with a high-speed camera before our

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:35.239
muzzle flare or Flash whatever the bullet comes out

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:39.800
of the gun so here we go let's head downstairs and get our monitors together

00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:44.560
I like these Vlog Style videos because this is basically what's happening with

00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:49.480
every one of our videos except uh with this style you guys get to kind of come

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:55.239
along for the ride as we go on Voyages of Discovery in The Labyrinth that is

00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:59.400
the LMG headquarters to find the hardware that we need in order to make

00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:04.040
whatever stupid video it is we're trying to make that that day so are you

00:03:01.640 --> 00:03:09.360
standing on a oh dear I am only half standing on a

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:11.239
rotating sphere disc machine ball at

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.560
least it doesn't have wheel oh at least this isn't

00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:22.920
heavy it's actually fairly heavy okay here we go want no I got this don't turn

00:03:18.760 --> 00:03:25.799
don't don't turn don't turn okay and

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:25.799
down never do

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:34.560
that why did I packed this monitor up I knew I wanted to do this

00:03:36.040 --> 00:03:40.680
comparison all of what we do is nothing without

00:03:44.519 --> 00:03:51.159
editing Okay so we've got both monitors

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:58.079
here all right

00:03:55.079 --> 00:03:58.079
competitors

00:03:58.200 --> 00:04:07.840
lovers no one is sure what I'm talking about are you no that's okay that's fine

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:09.280
that's normal everything is fine for

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:13.720
some reason it started working and I don't know why and I'm not going to question it

00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:18.919
okay yes I

00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:26.479
victorious yes yes okay so what made the mouse

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:28.240
work no devices

00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:34.560
detected what do you mean no devices

00:04:32.039 --> 00:04:42.160
detected okay so now that my stupid piece of crap Windows 7 install has

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:44.240
completely itself and won't work with a

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:50.600
keyboard or Mouse which I'm going to diagnose later with my handy dandy PS2

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:52.639
keyboard and mouse uh can install a USB

00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:56.560
keyboard or Mouse trust me we've tried um we're going we've gone ahead and

00:04:54.240 --> 00:05:00.840
switched to my Windows 8 test drive and it is time to get the Makey Makey up and

00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:06.919
running first of all so we've uh We've set it up for click and ground and then

00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:12.080
we're going to position this so we can see the activity LED Boop look at that

00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:16.479
we clicked well hold on hold on well I got

00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:21.039
to put it somewhere useful okay ready so you can watch the

00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.840
LED illuminate just like that see that

00:05:21.039 --> 00:05:29.840
okay so that led is going to be the indicator

00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:31.319
of when the gunfire should start in

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:35.160
Crisis 3 now the reason we're using Crisis 3 is that blur Busters has

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:38.280
already done the groundwork for us those guys are awesome which I think I already

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:43.880
said once but it deserves being said again and have found that Crisis 3 uses

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:46.560
a particularly not leggy engine not as

00:05:43.880 --> 00:05:51.759
much as csgo mind you but CS go requires some fiddling around with uh Max FPS

00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:55.880
settings within the console that we're just not going to do here so we've got

00:05:53.960 --> 00:05:59.199
our Fury X on the bench I've got the latest drivers that just finished

00:05:58.039 --> 00:06:06.400
downloading we're going to go ahead and install those and boom we're going to find out how

00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:07.759
much latency between click and display

00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:11.000
with free sync enabled all right so the first thing

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:15.960
we're going to need to do is enable free sync now this is not quite as cut and

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:20.520
dried as it used to be with gsync because you can also enable or disable

00:06:17.960 --> 00:06:24.360
vsync From Within game so we're actually going to have to look at it four

00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:29.039
different ways we're going to have 144 Hertz with freesync with vsync on or off

00:06:27.479 --> 00:06:35.000
then we're going to do gsync with the same thing with vsync on or off and then

00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:37.319
have a look at how things go okay so

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:44.919
we're in our game um we're going to Target 200 FPS for our uncapped scenario

00:06:42.440 --> 00:06:49.919
and then basically all we're going to do is we're going

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:52.199
to fire the mouse or well fire the mouse

00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:59.599
uh fire the gun like that now this is our Sony fs700

00:06:57.400 --> 00:07:04.520
camera and what it will be doing is recording the screen at 480 frames per

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:09.919
second unless we discover that 480 frames per second is not good enough in

00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:12.240
which case we will record at 960 FPS but

00:07:09.919 --> 00:07:14.879
the image gets very grainy and very dark at that frame rate so it's a little bit

00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:23.080
harder to work with so we're really hoping for the best here so uh let's get

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:25.720
started where where is that damn

00:07:23.080 --> 00:07:30.520
remote it's not under the motherboard it's good it shouldn't have been there

00:07:28.039 --> 00:07:36.400
here it is so the genius is at Sony which I have clearly demonstrated myself

00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:39.400
to be uh uh a more genius than installed

00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:41.720
the remote IR sensor for this camera in

00:07:39.400 --> 00:07:46.520
the back of it so the talent may never actually use it um you know I don't know

00:07:44.599 --> 00:07:51.520
maybe like here and like sticking out so it works from any direction whatever so

00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:58.400
I use reflective tape here and then I can be like B bam bounce it and it will

00:07:55.319 --> 00:08:00.520
start and stop just like that that way I

00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:05.639
will be able to start the slow motion recording which only runs for 4 seconds

00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:09.639
I will be able to take some shots not that kind of take shots what kind of

00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:17.199
videos you think we make around here and then I will be able to review the

00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:22.720
footage and start oh it didn't work and

00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:25.960
start here we go 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:27.520
12 13 14 15 and it's probably done now

00:08:25.960 --> 00:08:33.640
okay so let's check it out let's check it out so here we go here we go here we go you can clearly see a delay and this

00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:37.440
is running faster than the actual footage will be exciting so let's come

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:41.800
back with some numbers so welcome to the next step in

00:08:39.839 --> 00:08:46.600
the process it's actually been it it ended up taking me like 3 hours or

00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:51.279
something like that to run all of the numbers that I needed but basically what

00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:58.200
it amounts to is I've got my folder full of Clips here so these are all slow

00:08:54.120 --> 00:09:00.240
motion clips of here we go so check this

00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:04.399
out so you can see these are at 960 frames per second so like the you can

00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:08.399
barely you can actually see the individual Blades of the fan spinning

00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:15.600
and then what you're going to see here is a significant delay eventually right

00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:19.440
here we go here we go between the

00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:20.920
light and the actual muzzle flash so

00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:26.480
that's not good enough what we need to do is take this footage and dump it into

00:09:23.880 --> 00:09:31.000
Adobe Premiere where we can make an approximate equivalency of one of our

00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:36.880
frames is about a millisecond and then what we do is we actually find the exact

00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:42.839
frame where the top LED begins to illuminate and then we count 1 2 3 4 5 6

00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:47.360
7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

00:09:42.839 --> 00:09:49.040
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:54.880
there we go and then when we see the first hint of the muzzle flash animation

00:09:52.800 --> 00:09:58.640
that's when I make my mark That's when I put down my result and we're already

00:09:56.760 --> 00:10:03.000
getting some really interesting results which is turning the into more like a a

00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:06.440
regular lineus Tech tips at this point not very vloggy with like graphs and

00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:11.160
everything but sometimes I'm just not in control of what video I end up making I

00:10:08.920 --> 00:10:15.120
set out to do one thing and then it's like all of a sudden I'm making videos

00:10:12.959 --> 00:10:19.480
about Subway sandwich napkins in the way that you could actually use one to

00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:24.600
replace the built-in eraser on your dry erase marker if it was too full of crap

00:10:22.160 --> 00:10:31.760
with just a pair of scissors and a doublea battery to help you also some

00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.760
tape ah yes a

00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:39.839
knife it's covered in peanut butter oh my God why am I sitting at taran's

00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:43.360
desk so I'm not sure if it's because they think it improves their job

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:48.560
security but my editors let me sit here for an hour counting frames one

00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:55.560
by one instead of just showing me this super easy way to do it by changing this

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:57.760
to frames and then just marking in and

00:10:55.560 --> 00:11:03.200
out and then getting a frame count right here so that's a faster way to do that

00:11:00.760 --> 00:11:08.240
little do they know that that does not improve job security oh we just told you

00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:12.480
I'm going to replace them all with robots these These are the

00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:18.639
future video editing like that so I feel

00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:25.120
a bit like every Linus Tech tips video is sort of like um like life you know

00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:26.920
you start out with joy and hope and

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:31.639
belief that the world makes sense and then by the end of it you're this jaded

00:11:28.880 --> 00:11:35.839
bitter soul that just what the hell is going on here

00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.720
so all right I'll I'll put all the results up on screen for you guys or

00:11:38.079 --> 00:11:44.000
more accurately I'll have an editor do it since as you obviously know I don't

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:50.240
know how to use Adobe Premiere so um at high frame rate so at 144 Hertz 144 FPS

00:11:47.680 --> 00:11:58.440
remember we're using gsync or freesync regardless of what else is going on with

00:11:52.519 --> 00:12:02.200
vsync or no vsync so with no vsync um

00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:04.120
dsync really does okay but freesync

00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:11.440
actually comes out ahead at 1440p with the xl2730z looking like it's overall a

00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:14.639
lower input leg chain along with the R9

00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.519
Fury X so with vsync however so this is

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:21.040
g-sync with vsync the way NVIDIA intended for it to be used before they

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:27.639
eventually caved and allowed vsync to be turned off now we see gsync really come

00:12:23.839 --> 00:12:29.880
into its own with not only really really

00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:35.079
low latency between LED light illumination and muzzle flash but also a

00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:38.680
really tight grouping of the of the latency here with free sync being a

00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:46.760
little bit sloppier now when we move up to 200 FPS you can see that no vsync

00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:50.160
doesn't actually give us on gsync an

00:12:46.760 --> 00:12:51.880
input leg reduction whereas with AMD

00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:56.519
free sync now that we have desynchronized we are actually getting a

00:12:53.920 --> 00:13:03.279
proportional improvement in our input leg this is what we expect but this this

00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:05.160
is where my brain explodes at 45 FPS

00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:13.560
remember this is the sweet spot for variable refresh rate gaming with bsync

00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:16.720
disabled NVIDIA just cleans up cleans

00:13:13.560 --> 00:13:19.040
house we're talking 72 to 73 frames with

00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:25.199
our camera that is outstanding at only 45 FPS that is an incredible delay with

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:27.480
freesync not only much higher but also a

00:13:25.199 --> 00:13:33.079
little bit all over the place in terms of the latency then we turned vsync on

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:38.199
and I just retested this to make sure I wasn't crazy if we turn vsync on forcing

00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:45.240
it through the driver or turning it on in game I just retested

00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:46.880
it gsync is actually as bad or worse

00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:53.959
than free sync so ultimately today we have raised

00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:57.079
more questions than we have answered uh

00:13:53.959 --> 00:14:00.440
what we do know is that at least on AMD

00:13:57.079 --> 00:14:02.399
free sync you are going to if you're

00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:05.600
going to exceed the maximum refresh rate of your monitor then you are probably

00:14:04.160 --> 00:14:10.759
going to want to go ahead and disable vsync if you want that 10 millisecond

00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:13.279
Improvement in input latency so like the

00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:17.600
responsiveness and on g-sync if you're going to be playing in that 45 FPS sweet

00:14:15.680 --> 00:14:25.079
spot where I guess NVIDIA intended for it to be used then you are going to want

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:26.480
vsync off for some reason but then if

00:14:25.079 --> 00:14:29.880
you're going to be playing at a much higher refresh rate it looks like vsync

00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:35.880
on is the cat's pajamas with g-sync so uh

00:14:34.040 --> 00:14:42.079
let us know in the comments if your interpretation here is uh is different

00:14:39.680 --> 00:14:46.279
than my own and uh thank you for tuning in to this little Adventure I'm just

00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:49.440
going to look at my calendar and it looks like I'm supposed to tell you

00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:53.440
about Mast drop but I have no idea what their featured product is so I'll film

00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:57.959
that at a later time so thanks for watching guys like the or no I have a

00:14:55.720 --> 00:15:02.360
new outro dislike the video If You disliked it you guys know how to do that

00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:06.440
like it if you did like it though also get subscribed and maybe even consider

00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:10.240
contributing to us whether it's directly through our Forum by buying a t-shirt or

00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:13.320
by shopping at Amazon with our affiliate code once you've done all that stuff and

00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:18.680
you're looking for something new to watch uh apparently we just released ah

00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:25.040
yes we just released our Fury X versus 980ti small form factor you know Uber

00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:30.120
gaming machine Showdown so check that out and guess we're done here
