WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:07.439 a high refresh rate monitor a carbon fiber gaming mouse a four sensitive 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.320 keyboard money everyone knows that these 00:00:07.439 --> 00:00:15.679 are the things that you need to be a great gamer or that's what PC companies 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:17.600 want you to think razor Logitech NVIDIA 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:24.920 they all want you to feel like you need to spend big to win big but do you to 00:00:21.560 --> 00:00:27.679 find out we built the most Tri hard PC 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:32.559 setup possible buying into every single claim frame and mind game that PC 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:37.520 Hardware manufacturer's pitch and we're going to see how much of an edge we 00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:41.680 really get compared to the average PC which you know parts are actually worth 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:47.000 splurging on and which are a total waste of money you know let's talk Hardware 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:54.520 naturally we got to start with the best the beastly Intel Core I9 13900 K and 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:58.280 the Behemoth ASUS Rog stricks 00:00:54.520 --> 00:01:00.760 4090 because frames win games we've 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:05.119 proven it and these two pretty much always get the most frames to manage all 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:12.040 that power and heat we've gone with a fractal torrent equipped with a 420 mm 00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:15.360 nice AIO from Corsair 7 140 mm nocta 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:17.000 industrial fans and three NF1 12s at the 00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:20.799 bottom of the case for fresh air to our GPU which we then exhaust through the 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:25.439 front mounted radiator where we've removed the dust filters entirely for 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:29.600 better air flow finally we swapped out the stock retention bracket for a 00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:34.000 thermal Grizzly bracket to give us a few more degrees of cooling on the CPU and 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:39.520 up in the attic lives our power supply from C Sonic who sponsored this video we 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:44.799 chose their PX 1300 because it's 80 plus Platinum certified and so even at 20% 00:01:42.119 --> 00:01:49.799 load this thing will be at worst 90% efficient and all their new psus in the 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:54.560 PX lineup come with a 12volt high power connector so you don't need this stupid 00:01:52.399 --> 00:02:00.680 octopus adapter when you put in the 4090 for the motherboard we are using the 00:01:56.119 --> 00:02:03.920 EVGA z790 dark Kingpin motherboard 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:06.079 specifically meant for extreme 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:10.520 overclockers notice that the RAM has been moved up to the top of the board 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:15.680 this is specifically to reduce the distance from the CPU to improve the 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:21.080 timings we've used the onboard utility to overclock our CPU to 5.8 GHz across 00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:26.599 all cores for that extra oomph you know and of course we have ample fast storage 00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:34.840 in the form of 10 terabytes worth of PCI Express Gen 4 and vme ssds okay now for 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:37.319 peripherals our Guiding Light is latency 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:42.920 reduction latency is the time between input and eventual output and is the 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:47.560 enemy of good gaming every single piece in this setup is focused on reducing the 00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:53.480 time between targeting the enemy and seeing his head replaced with a thin Red 00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:58.400 Mist the biggest source of latency in your system is likely going to be the 00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:01.640 display a typical 144hz gaming display 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:05.200 introduces a whopping 6.94 milliseconds 00:03:01.640 --> 00:03:08.640 of latency compared that to the 390 Herz 00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:10.560 of the Acer Nitro X the fastest monitor 00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:17.680 on the market today where each frame is displayed for just 2.56 milliseconds 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.599 this Nets us a nearly 4.38 millisecond 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:25.239 reduction that is if you can run your games that fast in scenarios where 00:03:22.799 --> 00:03:29.519 performance is CPU limited like we are preventing us from running all of our 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:37.799 games at 390 frames per second you might want to consider the ASUS Rog Swift pg27 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:40.920 aqn which is 1440p and 360 HZ mean you 00:03:37.799 --> 00:03:42.920 can trade 30 HZ for extra image Clarity 00:03:40.920 --> 00:03:47.239 we have both here but to reduce GPU overhead we'll be unplugging our second 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:53.519 monitor while gaming and for peripherals the Aon kig 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:55.599 m2k uh okay this is the m1k but they 00:03:53.519 --> 00:04:01.000 were all out of m2ks and this uses the same sensor and switches so for our 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:03.599 purposes it works at just 24 RS you are 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:08.879 basically holding nothing this mouse doesn't waste time with side buttons or 00:04:06.200 --> 00:04:14.239 even most of the mouse what it does have is two clicks and a scroll wheel or well 00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:15.959 the m2k has a scroll wheel and 8,000 HZ 00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:21.799 pulling rate which means that your inputs will be delayed at most 00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:24.320 0.125 milliseconds eight times faster 00:04:21.799 --> 00:04:29.560 than other piddly Gamers thousand Herz pulling rates and if you simply cannot 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:35.199 stand the shape then maybe recommend the more more Normy razor Viper 8 khz while 00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:40.360 it does come in at nearly three times the weight of the Zan kig it has the 00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:45.160 same polling rate and sensor and it is a lot easier to buy we're using a glass 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:49.600 mouse pad for maximum slage feels like you're moving on nothing at all nothing 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:55.840 at all nothing at all damn sexy Flanders our keyboard is 00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:58.320 the wooting 60 H what makes this so 00:04:55.840 --> 00:05:03.280 special is that each switch is actually an analog input meaning we can do things 00:05:01.080 --> 00:05:08.280 like partially push our keys down to walk rather than run and we can set our 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:16.639 actuation point to 0.1 mm a typical key switch actuates at 00:05:12.479 --> 00:05:19.440 around 1.5 to 2 mm into the keystroke so 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:23.680 that takes about 5 milliseconds more for that key press to register just by the 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:28.680 force of the action alone by setting our actuation point so much higher our key 00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:34.080 presses will register 15 to 20 times faster than the competition 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:36.639 just .25 milliseconds the catch is that 00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:41.600 our keyboard only has a th000 HZ pulling rate meaning that the average latency 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:45.479 will still be 1 millisecond the only way we could improve this is if the next 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:49.960 revision adds 8,000 HZ polling what makes this actually the best for gaming 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:55.520 is that it's an optical instead of a mechanical switch meaning there's no 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:59.800 debounce delay at all so as soon as you 00:05:55.520 --> 00:06:02.039 unpress a key it's instantly un un 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:07.880 pressed to ensure that no inputs get lost in the high polling rate Fray we 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:11.319 plugged our devices into different USP controllers on our motherboard you can 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:17.120 use your motherboard manual to see which ports are managed by each controller oh 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:20.400 wait there is one other input that we 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:22.440 forgot to talk about our foot pedals we 00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:28.039 can't afford to move our fingers away from those was keys so we got elgato's 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:32.039 stream deck foot pedals to quickly and easily map some of our less time 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:36.880 critical inputs to things like reloading or taunting the polling rate on this is 00:06:34.520 --> 00:06:40.520 not nearly as high as we would hope but we might be able to overclock the thing 00:06:38.520 --> 00:06:45.960 for a little bit lower latency that's a whole other can of worms finally we have 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:50.160 our audio solution for the clearest coms we went with an electrovoice re20 with 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:55.639 the dynamite preamp connected to our audient Evo interface for the front end 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:59.599 we went with the Sennheiser hd800s for its incredible Sound Stage which allows 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:06.120 us to pinpoint the footsteps of our enemies with ease oh yeah and we even got the 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:10.520 ultimate gaming router the ASUS Rog Rapture a quadband gaming router that 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:16.000 has tweaks to optimize Network traffic for gaming oh and uh naturally we have 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:21.280 the Herman Miller embody gaming chair for maximum ergonomics and comfort we 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:25.080 also made some tweaks like we disabled background processes like Windows 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:29.720 Defender which is always a good idea we've disabled Wi-Fi on the motherboard 00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:33.800 to reduce Emi and CPU interrupts we've turned on multi-core enhancement set 00:07:31.520 --> 00:07:40.120 Windows to GPU accelerated scheduling and ultimate performance power plan set 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:41.960 XMP on and we've given our CPU and GPU a 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:46.280 slight overclock to get a little bit of extra performance we aren't pushing too 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:51.919 hard as stability is Paramount for the sweaty tryhard gamer okay enough Theory 00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:58.599 crafting let's see if all of this is worth it by testing it with real Gamers 00:07:55.039 --> 00:08:00.879 and by Gamers we mean lonus sup no wrong 00:07:58.599 --> 00:08:05.720 one oh get out of here we're going to compare our two setups this is the most 00:08:03.520 --> 00:08:10.759 average gaming PC we've made one upgrade a 144 HZ monitor sure we're going to 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:15.479 compare that to the full try hard setup the sweatiest gaming PC absolutely get 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:20.000 your bearings here enjoy it play a game with the most common peripherals the 00:08:17.080 --> 00:08:23.599 typical kind of experience a deskmat from LTT 00:08:21.440 --> 00:08:26.879 store.com is there anyone else on this map am I are there supposed to be people 00:08:25.039 --> 00:08:30.879 to fight B to get out of here there's no Bots what the hell Jake okay just press 00:08:29.159 --> 00:08:34.279 Escape go start a bot match or you can play a real match and see how you do I 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:38.519 never used to feel like the g502 was Heavy it's kind of heavy by today's 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:45.200 standards I use a G Pro Wireless at home and it's it's a lot 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:47.000 later okay oh shoot wow uh okay that was 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:52.360 probably the heavy Mouse uh was probably because of the heavy Mouse no no no oh 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:55.360 shoot no come on come on ah 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.360 shoot 00:08:55.880 --> 00:09:04.480 oh ah come on no hold down tab that's where you are 00:09:01.760 --> 00:09:10.000 on the leaderboard well you know what it's hard see that he was at the very 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:12.320 bottom it is hard yeah it's hard what if 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:17.800 we could upgrade your game all right let's try the upgrade all right welcome 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:20.480 to the try hard setup 999 frames per 00:09:17.800 --> 00:09:27.600 second this is the mouse yes it weighs but 23 g wow okay and we have you 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:29.800 equipped with the wooting 60hp wa this 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:34.600 like a hair trigger keyboard because it's an optical and analog switch you 00:09:31.839 --> 00:09:39.399 can set the actuation point as high or as low as you want I've set it to 0.1 mm 00:09:37.920 --> 00:09:44.000 so that the moment you want to make an action you go it also has rapid trigger 00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:47.880 so the moment you relieve any pressure from the key it just stops sending a 00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:54.040 signal you don't have to wait for it to cross back over the actuation point again that's pretty cool what is this 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:57.600 doing here that's your for your comms for your team and also we equi you with 00:09:55.959 --> 00:10:04.360 the best headphones you could find for Sound Stage okay I should definitely try 00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:10.839 without sound first for Apples to Apples here is this a 390 HZ monitor it is it's 00:10:09.079 --> 00:10:17.279 the fastest monitor currently on the market okay okay got 00:10:13.959 --> 00:10:19.760 him come on he's right there what do you 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:23.680 mean I only hit him three times okay here I have a solution no you're getting 00:10:21.640 --> 00:10:28.880 clammy hammed you need to use gamer goo which flavor would you like and it 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:33.200 comes oh I'm liking the weight of this mouse I'm not liking the shape very much 00:10:30.920 --> 00:10:37.800 but not going to lie kind of actually feeling it okay what's the gamer goo 00:10:35.160 --> 00:10:41.279 fine we got we got smells I don't what this got orange peppermint uh we'll put 00:10:39.880 --> 00:10:45.519 some on your hands so you can get improve your grip it's kind of a shiny 00:10:42.920 --> 00:10:50.200 Mouse this is chaos also we've brought you some ghost gamer neotropics what I 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:53.399 don't that's so a neut Tropic it's brain enhancing chemicals these are all legal 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:57.920 what are you even talking about I'm trying to enhance your performance Linus well it's not going to do anything 00:10:56.160 --> 00:11:01.160 instantly well it should have taken it 15 minutes ago cuz the amount of time it 00:10:59.839 --> 00:11:06.200 takes for caffeine to kick in that's the important thing to know about all of these the actual thing that matters is 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:10.000 the caffeine so you can just dry scoop it right now if you want um 00:11:14.839 --> 00:11:20.600 sure I'm going to get him some water oh God he's going to 00:11:18.839 --> 00:11:25.320 die I'm fine very unpleasant not recommended 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:30.600 honestly there's too much Randomness with just people being flipping 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:33.480 everywhere in this tip okay let's go 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:38.279 into aim lab um just press steam it's right there no I won't oh my God how do 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:42.920 I even oh my God how I don't have a mouse wheel I don't know how to use a 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:46.680 computer without a scroll wheel how do you actually the good news is that the 00:11:45.160 --> 00:11:51.880 newer version of this mouse does have a scroll wheel but the company only makes 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:54.079 a certain amount every year and they ran 00:11:51.880 --> 00:11:57.079 out they're like two guys they're working really hard okay all right all 00:11:55.720 --> 00:12:01.600 right I'm probably not going to do very well oh yeah I definitely feel sweatier 00:11:59.560 --> 00:12:09.399 I'm a sweatier gamer for sure okay 68% accuracy so I am above 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:12.399 average barely which means that you'll probably be worse when you're not 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:17.440 performance enhanced but I should have more caffeine in my system with my heavy 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:18.920 ass Mouse here all right I got better 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:22.120 okay now you want to go back and try this test over here what what what did I 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:26.480 get that time or wait I guess it's a different test you had 00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:30.480 45,000 I'm familiar with the test now okay let's try the sweaty setup 00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:47.160 49,27805 kill total nice oh yeah and 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:53.880 just so you know this computer uh this whole setup it's um it's 00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:58.560 $111,000 this one is about uh it's about 00:12:53.880 --> 00:13:01.399 600 so that extra $10,400 probably 00:12:58.560 --> 00:13:04.839 better inest Ed in some coaching yeah yeah or practice practice but that's not 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.760 that's not the point pay yourself to practice but what do you think what do 00:13:06.560 --> 00:13:13.560 you think about some of these parts do you think that any of these actually make a huge difference like this is a 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:18.720 huge difference maker for me a fan yeah yeah oh yeah scores and test asde which 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:23.760 are affected by a human element what is the actual difference in latency between 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:26.959 one system and the other on this system the average end to endend latency so 00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:33.000 from click to when you see something happen on your screen that's 12 00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:38.040 milliseconds really yeah which is a lot 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:41.079 faster than the average PC which is 26 00:13:38.040 --> 00:13:43.360 milliseconds and yet I still can't 00:13:41.079 --> 00:13:46.199 really feel the difference between them huh we are really at a point of 00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:50.399 diminishing returns here aren't we especially when you consider like human 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:55.800 reaction speeds and stuff like that is like around the 180 to 280 millisecond
