1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,080
you might say our 16k gaming project was

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:09,760
a massive success well you might say that if you measure

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,880
success purely by how many views something gets

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:16,400
on youtube because the usability of that

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,760
thing left a lot to be desired we know

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:25,199
so ever since we first unveiled it we've

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,519
been waiting for the right moment

8
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:34,559
and perhaps more importantly the right hardware to bring it back to life better

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,360
than ever with hopefully a decent

10
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:42,000
actual gaming experience this time and that day

11
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:45,280
thank you Jake has arrived

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,840
lg sponsored this video and sent over

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,039
nine of their flagship curved

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:57,440
ultra wide monitors so all we need to do now then is uh

15
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:02,239
go see how the old setup has survived its long slumber here in the storage

16
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:07,439
unit holy crap

17
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:14,560
this thing is uh scenes of better days eh this is a freaking mess

18
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:20,400
i mean the good news is most of the wiring is still in place but like

19
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:25,439
even the underside is that dirty

20
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,640
all right so let's get this uh let's get this cleaned up

21
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:37,680
for redeployment here

22
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:45,119
as many many of you pointed out the 4x4

23
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:50,640
arrangement of monitors in 16k gaming made the majority of games pretty much

24
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:53,759
impossible to play because any kind of

25
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,159
crosshair ended up being hidden behind

26
00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:58,640
the bezels right in the middle of our display array

27
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,320
and the abominable frame rates didn't help

28
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:09,599
either i mean even though we were running four quadro p5000s one for each

29
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:15,440
of our four rows of monitors last time and those are about equivalent to gtx

30
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:18,720
1080s but with 16 gigs of video memory

31
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:22,000
almost every game ran into some sort of

32
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,560
processing or memory bottleneck it was

33
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,520
just it was just too many pixels csgo wouldn't even run

34
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:34,840
fortunately though a couple of months ago NVIDIA's quadro team

35
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:41,599
launched the gv100 a 9 000

36
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:44,720
beast of a workstation GPU and they

37
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:44,720
graciously lent us

38
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:53,200
a few of them so now we're cooking with gas baby these

39
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:55,280
puppies have about 2.93 times the

40
00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:04,319
transistor count so they are much more powerful and they each come with 32 gigs

41
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:07,120
of high-speed hbm2 memory okay so first

42
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:11,519
things first we need a system thank you that is worthy

43
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:16,879
of those graphics cards so i wanted to use the 7900x but

44
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:22,480
the last one we had didn't survive a d-lid so we're using a 7960x instead

45
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:26,720
poor us first world problem i guess so the clock speeds are a little bit

46
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:30,080
lower on this one but let's be realistic here i mean even in this new

47
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:36,319
configuration every card is still running the pixel

48
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:39,760
count equivalent of a 5k display so the

49
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:42,239
bottleneck is still going to be the gpus

50
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:47,680
and not the CPU for our motherboard ASUS sent over their

51
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:54,959
rampage six extreme which is going to be paired with naturally

52
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,920
128 gigs of vengeance RGB ddr4 memory

53
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:01,040
wow this receipt is uh

54
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:05,680
is getting a few more zeros on it here then i had really hoped good thing of

55
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:12,239
course serenacious graciously provided these things and then for power the

56
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:15,760
obvious choice was Corsair's ax 1600i

57
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:19,680
with some sexy cablemod pro style cables

58
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:22,079
to match our icy table now cooling

59
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:28,160
is actually surprisingly not a huge concern since our desk pc case is quite

60
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:33,199
open for the gpus and we're not going to be overclocking our CPU so we're going

61
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:37,120
to be using an nhd15 now then

62
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:42,400
it's time for the monitors as i mentioned earlier the gaming downside of

63
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:49,280
even-numbered monitor grids easily outweighs any advantage so a 3x3 grid

64
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:52,320
looked like our best option because 5x5 was just not going to be a thing

65
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:58,560
but rather than simply do a 12k setup which

66
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:02,160
was our original plan to make the rig somewhat playable we opted to try

67
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:04,880
something new so these

68
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:15,360
are lg's 34 uc 99w

69
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:18,560
these are 3440 by 1440 curved ips ultra

70
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,560
wides they've got usb type-c input and

71
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:26,800
freesync and this is cool they run it up to 75 hertz

72
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:32,720
so any less demanding games we might be able to get even more than 60 FPS

73
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:38,720
the aesthetic here actually helps our cause a lot too check this out even the

74
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:41,440
bottom bezel is not much bigger than the

75
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,639
sides in the top now this is less of an issue in a standard desktop

76
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:52,560
configuration but when you start stacking them it

77
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:53,840
makes a huge difference quite literally

78
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,560
huge and holy sh

79
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:01,919
that curve hey

80
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:07,280
there we go i don't know why this one's all weird okay your scaling is a little

81
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,520
uh little wonktastic there got that big

82
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:14,000
start button and that small start why do they all have a start menu uh mosaic is

83
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:21,120
not up yet so we need to configure mosaic okay make it one big display oh

84
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:23,360
we can play some games this is beautiful

85
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:28,240
i just love standing right here like the sound of my voice echoes back

86
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:32,080
at me and video why you do okay there we go there we go

87
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:36,080
and then the last piece of puzzle bezel correct bezel correction cool okay so

88
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:40,160
here what we're doing is we're trying to align the road here that's not bad

89
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,440
actually no it's not even close you need like 100 pixels what do you mean not

90
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:47,120
even close no that's off you're too far no stop stop stop stop you can't look at

91
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,919
just one of them no it's not look at them you can look at whichever

92
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:54,880
angle it's a little bit too far on that one but it's not far enough on a couple of i

93
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:58,479
see which means you can do it per month because the monitors aren't aligned

94
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,960
perfectly yeah like so basically because Jake done goofed

95
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:10,639
aren't you just so hyped to play games yeah too bad NVIDIA says no games these are

96
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,560
cool drones these are not for gaming

97
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:15,520
professionals have patience you're kidding

98
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:21,440
the professionals getting paid to set this up are getting paid by the hour anyway what do they care

99
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:25,919
wow i get to really drive Jake pull me

100
00:07:23,599 --> 00:07:31,840
uh we broke another tech accessory out of the uh moth balls upstairs this is

101
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:37,280
our obato revolution cockpit with a logitech g920 racing wheel that is going

102
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:40,400
through its uh pre-flight calibration here

103
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:45,199
and we've got a shifter because Jake assumes that i know how to drive manual

104
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:49,120
don't you which i do yes yeah right no the lambo's manual

105
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:53,680
okay so i stalled do you not know how to drive i know how to drive manual

106
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:58,960
how do you research how do i restart the car whoa he's doing it

107
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:06,160
oh oh no my shifter moved

108
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:06,160
you got a downshift don't go downshift

109
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,680
super duper smooth it's fine that's okay i'm pretty good at

110
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,800
overwatch i've never played overwatch okay

111
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:23,120
it's basically team fortress 2 though right okay like it's a little different

112
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:26,639
oh yeah oh yeah there's like 30 heroes oh yeah everybody they all have unique

113
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:33,519
things whereas oh look at that you've got an endorsement for being a good teammate

114
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:37,039
they dropped right but i have to be in the emoji shoot your left shift at the

115
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,399
at the door there my what left shift

116
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:44,560
see they're going to come and kill you right oh man you're going to die

117
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:53,360
that was nuts oh my god

118
00:08:51,600 --> 00:09:00,720
so worth wow oh come on click your e damn it

119
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:04,320
yes minus is good at overwatch who knew

120
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:08,480
does anyone know how to tell if someone's on my team nobody's on your team

121
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,600
remember we talked about this oh so this is like this is like complete

122
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,839
free-for-all yeah oh like you're gonna get you're gonna

123
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:19,920
get destroyed like oh okay so i just need to hide

124
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:23,440
right here forever okay well that's not interesting like

125
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:27,600
okay that's sort of left i guess jackass

126
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:32,560
all the way left all right whatever this doesn't run that well so let's try something else

127
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:37,519
look at that this is 75 so they're i want to try 100 hertz but i think that's

128
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,600
out of it gorgeous all right okay do we have anything else

129
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,519
to try can it run crisis

130
00:09:41,839 --> 00:09:48,000
law okay what graphic settings are we at whoa that low that system spec low that

131
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:51,680
texture low we're not even trying to like run it

132
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,680
well then hey no all right

133
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:59,120
we're at 48 FPS and we haven't even actually rendered anything other than a

134
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:03,680
black screen with some green text on it yet in this game this game is very

135
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,680
optimized okay

136
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:17,920
oh so it's just the other character models that get completely like your gun

137
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:21,680
is strong your hand is like high quality i don't

138
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:25,600
know oh wow wait what just happened there

139
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:29,920
how did i not fall down you just like searched it

140
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:33,720
those guys oh forget it

141
00:10:34,079 --> 00:10:39,600
where are you going oh my goodness isn't this where i'm supposed to go oh oh oh

142
00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:47,440
oh oh and we're done okay as much as we love using enterprise

143
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:52,399
grade hardware for unconventional things like gaming NVIDIA did ask us

144
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:57,079
very nicely to talk about what these cards are actually made for so

145
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:02,720
uh have you ever seen the multi-hundred-foot video walls in places

146
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:04,880
like times square or in tokyo or while

147
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:10,720
watching your favorite sports teams live well they're usually made up of many

148
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,920
smaller displays like our setup here and

149
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:16,640
even though they're intended to be viewed from far away so their pixel

150
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:21,519
density is comparatively low like all these look great from even just a couple

151
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,279
feet away their overall resolution can

152
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:28,000
get very high along with their demand for video memory

153
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:31,839
and processing power and of course the images all need to be synchronized even

154
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:36,560
if you're just playing back video so the sync card would come in handy there

155
00:11:33,839 --> 00:11:42,320
and for a more apples to apples look at the processing power improvements

156
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:47,040
because gaming at different resolutions it doesn't really mean anything we tried

157
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:52,000
out chronos's v-ray ray tracing benchmark and found that it actually

158
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:57,200
runs in half the time compared to our last setup

159
00:11:54,160 --> 00:12:02,240
and bear in mind guys we are running one

160
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:02,240
fewer actual graphics card in this setup

161
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,600
so that's pretty much it now we just got to pack this thing up

162
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,920
and take it to ltx oh yeah

163
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:15,760
so huge huge thank you to lg for making this project happen if you guys like

164
00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:21,200
what you saw from these monitors you can pick one up or nine at the link in the video

165
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:24,560
description or if you want even more pixels stay tuned because lg is

166
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:29,680
launching their new 5k ultrawide nano ips display soon so

167
00:12:28,079 --> 00:12:34,560
