00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.080
you might say our 16k gaming project was

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:09.760
a massive success well you might say that if you measure

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:14.880
success purely by how many views something gets

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:16.400
on youtube because the usability of that

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:19.760
thing left a lot to be desired we know

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:25.199
so ever since we first unveiled it we've

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:27.519
been waiting for the right moment

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:34.559
and perhaps more importantly the right hardware to bring it back to life better

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:37.360
than ever with hopefully a decent

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:42.000
actual gaming experience this time and that day

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:45.280
thank you Jake has arrived

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.840
lg sponsored this video and sent over

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:51.039
nine of their flagship curved

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:57.440
ultra wide monitors so all we need to do now then is uh

00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:02.239
go see how the old setup has survived its long slumber here in the storage

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:07.439
unit holy crap

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:14.560
this thing is uh scenes of better days eh this is a freaking mess

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:20.400
i mean the good news is most of the wiring is still in place but like

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:25.439
even the underside is that dirty

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:29.640
all right so let's get this uh let's get this cleaned up

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:37.680
for redeployment here

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:45.119
as many many of you pointed out the 4x4

00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:50.640
arrangement of monitors in 16k gaming made the majority of games pretty much

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:53.759
impossible to play because any kind of

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:56.159
crosshair ended up being hidden behind

00:01:53.759 --> 00:01:58.640
the bezels right in the middle of our display array

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:02.320
and the abominable frame rates didn't help

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:09.599
either i mean even though we were running four quadro p5000s one for each

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:15.440
of our four rows of monitors last time and those are about equivalent to gtx

00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:18.720
1080s but with 16 gigs of video memory

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:22.000
almost every game ran into some sort of

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:24.560
processing or memory bottleneck it was

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:29.520
just it was just too many pixels csgo wouldn't even run

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:34.840
fortunately though a couple of months ago NVIDIA's quadro team

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:41.599
launched the gv100 a 9 000

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.720
beast of a workstation GPU and they

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.720
graciously lent us

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:53.200
a few of them so now we're cooking with gas baby these

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:55.280
puppies have about 2.93 times the

00:02:53.200 --> 00:03:04.319
transistor count so they are much more powerful and they each come with 32 gigs

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:07.120
of high-speed hbm2 memory okay so first

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:11.519
things first we need a system thank you that is worthy

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:16.879
of those graphics cards so i wanted to use the 7900x but

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

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:26.720
poor us first world problem i guess so the clock speeds are a little bit

00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:30.080
lower on this one but let's be realistic here i mean even in this new

00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:36.319
configuration every card is still running the pixel

00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:39.760
count equivalent of a 5k display so the

00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:42.239
bottleneck is still going to be the gpus

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:47.680
and not the CPU for our motherboard ASUS sent over their

00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:54.959
rampage six extreme which is going to be paired with naturally

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:55.920
128 gigs of vengeance RGB ddr4 memory

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:01.040
wow this receipt is uh

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

00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:12.239
course serenacious graciously provided these things and then for power the

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:15.760
obvious choice was Corsair's ax 1600i

00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:19.680
with some sexy cablemod pro style cables

00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:22.079
to match our icy table now cooling

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:28.160
is actually surprisingly not a huge concern since our desk pc case is quite

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

00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:37.120
to be using an nhd15 now then

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:42.400
it's time for the monitors as i mentioned earlier the gaming downside of

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:49.280
even-numbered monitor grids easily outweighs any advantage so a 3x3 grid

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:52.320
looked like our best option because 5x5 was just not going to be a thing

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:58.560
but rather than simply do a 12k setup which

00:04:55.919 --> 00:05:02.160
was our original plan to make the rig somewhat playable we opted to try

00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.880
something new so these

00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:15.360
are lg's 34 uc 99w

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:18.560
these are 3440 by 1440 curved ips ultra

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:20.560
wides they've got usb type-c input and

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:26.800
freesync and this is cool they run it up to 75 hertz

00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:32.720
so any less demanding games we might be able to get even more than 60 FPS

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:38.720
the aesthetic here actually helps our cause a lot too check this out even the

00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:41.440
bottom bezel is not much bigger than the

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.639
sides in the top now this is less of an issue in a standard desktop

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:52.560
configuration but when you start stacking them it

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:53.840
makes a huge difference quite literally

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:58.560
huge and holy sh

00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:01.919
that curve hey

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

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.520
uh little wonktastic there got that big

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

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:21.120
not up yet so we need to configure mosaic okay make it one big display oh

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.360
we can play some games this is beautiful

00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:28.240
i just love standing right here like the sound of my voice echoes back

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:32.080
at me and video why you do okay there we go there we go

00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:36.080
and then the last piece of puzzle bezel correct bezel correction cool okay so

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

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

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

00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.919
just one of them no it's not look at them you can look at whichever

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

00:06:53.280 --> 00:06:58.479
see which means you can do it per month because the monitors aren't aligned

00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:02.960
perfectly yeah like so basically because Jake done goofed

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

00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:12.560
cool drones these are not for gaming

00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:15.520
professionals have patience you're kidding

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

00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:25.919
wow i get to really drive Jake pull me

00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:31.840
uh we broke another tech accessory out of the uh moth balls upstairs this is

00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:37.280
our obato revolution cockpit with a logitech g920 racing wheel that is going

00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:40.400
through its uh pre-flight calibration here

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:45.199
and we've got a shifter because Jake assumes that i know how to drive manual

00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:49.120
don't you which i do yes yeah right no the lambo's manual

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

00:07:52.080 --> 00:07:58.960
how do you research how do i restart the car whoa he's doing it

00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:06.160
oh oh no my shifter moved

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:06.160
you got a downshift don't go downshift

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:13.680
super duper smooth it's fine that's okay i'm pretty good at

00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:16.800
overwatch i've never played overwatch okay

00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:23.120
it's basically team fortress 2 though right okay like it's a little different

00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.639
oh yeah oh yeah there's like 30 heroes oh yeah everybody they all have unique

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:33.519
things whereas oh look at that you've got an endorsement for being a good teammate

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

00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:40.399
at the door there my what left shift

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

00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:53.360
that was nuts oh my god

00:08:51.600 --> 00:09:00.720
so worth wow oh come on click your e damn it

00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:04.320
yes minus is good at overwatch who knew

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

00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:11.600
remember we talked about this oh so this is like this is like complete

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:15.839
free-for-all yeah oh like you're gonna get you're gonna

00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:19.920
get destroyed like oh okay so i just need to hide

00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:23.440
right here forever okay well that's not interesting like

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:27.600
okay that's sort of left i guess jackass

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

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

00:09:34.640 --> 00:09:39.600
out of it gorgeous all right okay do we have anything else

00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:43.519
to try can it run crisis

00:09:41.839 --> 00:09:48.000
law okay what graphic settings are we at whoa that low that system spec low that

00:09:46.160 --> 00:09:51.680
texture low we're not even trying to like run it

00:09:49.920 --> 00:09:55.680
well then hey no all right

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:59.120
we're at 48 FPS and we haven't even actually rendered anything other than a

00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:03.680
black screen with some green text on it yet in this game this game is very

00:10:00.880 --> 00:10:03.680
optimized okay

00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:17.920
oh so it's just the other character models that get completely like your gun

00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:21.680
is strong your hand is like high quality i don't

00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:25.600
know oh wow wait what just happened there

00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:29.920
how did i not fall down you just like searched it

00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:33.720
those guys oh forget it

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

00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:47.440
oh oh and we're done okay as much as we love using enterprise

00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:52.399
grade hardware for unconventional things like gaming NVIDIA did ask us

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:57.079
very nicely to talk about what these cards are actually made for so

00:10:55.120 --> 00:11:02.720
uh have you ever seen the multi-hundred-foot video walls in places

00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:04.880
like times square or in tokyo or while

00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:10.720
watching your favorite sports teams live well they're usually made up of many

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.920
smaller displays like our setup here and

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:16.640
even though they're intended to be viewed from far away so their pixel

00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:21.519
density is comparatively low like all these look great from even just a couple

00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:23.279
feet away their overall resolution can

00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:28.000
get very high along with their demand for video memory

00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:31.839
and processing power and of course the images all need to be synchronized even

00:11:30.160 --> 00:11:36.560
if you're just playing back video so the sync card would come in handy there

00:11:33.839 --> 00:11:42.320
and for a more apples to apples look at the processing power improvements

00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:47.040
because gaming at different resolutions it doesn't really mean anything we tried

00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:52.000
out chronos's v-ray ray tracing benchmark and found that it actually

00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:57.200
runs in half the time compared to our last setup

00:11:54.160 --> 00:12:02.240
and bear in mind guys we are running one

00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:02.240
fewer actual graphics card in this setup

00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:07.600
so that's pretty much it now we just got to pack this thing up

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:11.920
and take it to ltx oh yeah

00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:15.760
so huge huge thank you to lg for making this project happen if you guys like

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

00:12:18.880 --> 00:12:24.560
description or if you want even more pixels stay tuned because lg is

00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:29.680
launching their new 5k ultrawide nano ips display soon so

00:12:28.079 --> 00:12:34.560
you can check out the link to that or just google lg ultrawide for more

00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:38.240
information on their latest ultra wide displays

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:42.160
thanks for watching guys if you disliked then you clearly hate technology but if

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:46.480
you like hit like get subscribed or maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link below

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:50.399
also down there is our merch store which has cool shirts like this one and our

00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:55.519
community forum which you should definitely join

00:12:53.040 --> 00:12:59.920
how's it going there uh not great we're running bastion we just can't

00:12:58.079 --> 00:13:04.480
they just can't oh did i get more kills than you oh

00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:08.959
yeah yeah look my team one elim is gold

00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.440
that shows you how long my team is playing right now
