1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:08,080
6 years ago I invaded my employees homes and roasted the worst gaming PCs that I

2
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:13,200
could find well guess what we're doing it again but this time NVIDIA sponsored

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:20,640
the video so we could not only upgrade the Winner's rig but their entire

4
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:24,599
flipping setup but there can only be one

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,920
so I'm going in I'm taking notes I'll be

6
00:00:24,599 --> 00:00:32,279
deciding what I think they need and the best part they'll never even know that I

7
00:00:29,759 --> 00:00:32,279
would is

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:39,360
here first up we've got Mr Robert Oaks

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:45,480
editor extraordinaire and big liar because this laptop looks perfectly

10
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,640
good for both gaming and video editing I use it mostly for gaming haven't gotten

11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:54,199
too much editing in on it yet outside a little Photoshop that was not the point

12
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:59,559
ah here's your problem right here uh pre-built yep I thought you work at

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,879
Linus Tech tips I bought it back in 2017

14
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:05,880
it's almost 7 years old now so this is

15
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:08,240
back in high school for me oh my God I

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:14,000
feel so old the real problem honestly speaking though is not the tower a desk

17
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:18,040
seems solid enough but

18
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:21,920
really regardless of whether the upgrade goes to someone more competitive or if

19
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,079
it goes to a sightseer like Robert the first thing they're going to want to do

20
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:29,119
is turn on gsync your display does support it and actually you have an

21
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:32,240
NVIDIA GPU you can turn it on to eliminate tearing

22
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,880
it's just that you don't really have enough FPS this is a little confusing

23
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,799
though you have a much better monitor that by the way I recognize from our

24
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:44,920
warehouse that's not set up did you stage this to try to win a move was imp

25
00:01:43,159 --> 00:01:52,280
pending so I just never set it up and now it's here so you would be powering

26
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:53,759
this off of a GTX 1050 the mismatch

27
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,240
between this Monitor and your system actually highlights one of the reasons

28
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:01,439
NVIDIA insisted that these upgrades should be the full setup because even if

29
00:01:59,479 --> 00:02:05,680
you have have a technological advantage like near instant pixel response times

30
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:10,200
or high refresh rate like on this gigantic OLED monitor if you can't also

31
00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:14,720
take advantage of other Technologies like a fast GPU with NVIDIA reflex to

32
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:20,200
reduce system latency well the next time you go down and rank you might not know

33
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,319
was it my GPU or was it me it's probably

34
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:26,200
me oh well next up we've got Oni Tam

35
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:30,800
senior content writer for Labs of delightful couch and wow look at this

36
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:35,879
couch gaming setup and are you kidding me it's a bit far I

37
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:41,800
don't even know where to begin with this okay first thing y awesome setup I love

38
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:48,800
the case that you have on this you've got the dock and everything external SSD

39
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:51,519
and that straight up USB to SATA just

40
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:56,879
old school style adapter I am loving this oh wow

41
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:03,000
uh it was the cheapest one at Costco yes it was only just moved here for this job

42
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:08,040
so that would explain a fair bit of emptiness one of NVIDIA's big

43
00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:13,799
emphasis points for this setup upgrade is RTX video HDR and I got to say NVIDIA

44
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:18,599
if we choose this one it's going to cost you cuz uh while it's a really cool

45
00:03:16,239 --> 00:03:24,799
technology that takes your SDR content and converts it to HDR on the

46
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:32,280
Fly you're going to need an HDR display is this HDR I'm

47
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:35,000
kidding we're next location is a Vibe I

48
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:40,360
guess this explains who it is I see this is your setup this is not my setup this

49
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:45,640
is my boyfriend's setup I see you can tell by the uh the yamaka the yamaka

50
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,799
there's probably another yamaka and a bedtime routine and a bedtime routine

51
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:54,079
and another bedtime routine this is the same bedtime routine it is the same

52
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:57,959
bedtime routine his diary this also has a bedtime routine in it that is one of

53
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,720
my setups I actually have two uh you'll notice that there is nothing there this

54
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:08,159
is where I sit uh when my boyfriend's lonely uh you'll note that we have uh

55
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:13,360
three different office chairs in here but I use this because the cats like the

56
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,600
office chairs I can see that this is my

57
00:04:15,799 --> 00:04:22,880
setup um your battery is uh running low is it

58
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:27,759
well that's cuz I forgot to plug it in I used to have a worse setup really cuz I

59
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:33,120
used to have a much smaller closet but it was the only place in the

60
00:04:30,039 --> 00:04:35,039
house where I could uh where I could pad

61
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:39,680
everything for podcasting I like that you've got the

62
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:43,800
whole heat and noise isolation from the room that you're working in Vibe yeah

63
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:49,440
yeah that's professional professional braid setup um

64
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,240
oh and if I want some privacy I use that little curtain rod and I put this

65
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,400
blanket on it you have a wonderful selection of headphones most of which

66
00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:02,479
are in one piece that one's the highest spec one it's very dead um here we have

67
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:07,440
a boyfriend's morning routine

68
00:05:02,479 --> 00:05:10,400
yeah I that's good make bed um

69
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:16,800
apparently that one's optional this is something it is yeah um technically it's

70
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:18,919
foam yeah it's not the right kind of

71
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:26,479
foam for acoustic treatment though I know okay this mouse is also

72
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:28,440
experiencing a distended cable um I

73
00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:33,440
think they call that a hernia in humans and this may be the dim monitor that I

74
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:38,280
have seen in 15 years is that on purpose like is it turned way down it might be I

75
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:46,080
am very light sensitive nope it's all the way up okay you do yoga uh I don't

76
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:48,319
uh this is uh this is a board I got from

77
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:52,880
the hardware store but this is a yoga mat that is a yoga mat um but underneath

78
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:57,840
it is a board yeah it wasn't what I was asking the yoga mat was acquired from

79
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,880
Value Village the board blue Gage fancy

80
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:05,120
the board was not why I asked if you do yoga people don't do yoga on a board I I

81
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:10,479
wouldn't know I don't do yoga I think I need to go

82
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:13,960
now wow that was an experience current

83
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:15,360
effort level is a zero how bad is their

84
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:20,960
stuff I don't even know I didn't want to touch it it was very difficult for us to

85
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:25,360
determine a winner you guys uh Robert you showed us some things that you're

86
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,759
grandmother left you I mean these speakers may have belonged to your great

87
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:33,840
grandmother the point is very tasteful desk um he uses it to hold his computer

88
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:39,759
and store his grandmother's ashes on you had the most minimalist of

89
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:44,759
minimalistic setups including the most minimal screen size I think I've ever

90
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:47,720
seen your upgrade would probably involve

91
00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:52,440
binoculars got the webcam so that uh people might be able to see you from way

92
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:57,919
back here as for you Jessica we dubbed

93
00:06:52,440 --> 00:07:00,039
your setup the H um you got zero points

94
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:04,919
for your current level of effort you even made calling Papa John's Easy by

95
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:10,560
having their Flyers all over the place those aren't mine in some ways even more

96
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:13,639
minimalistic than on setup there is a

97
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,879
desk yep I don't just game like on a

98
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:22,039
patch of floor no you've got a chair uh which is good while the effort

99
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:25,440
level was the lowest that we saw I think

100
00:07:22,039 --> 00:07:28,599
your need could best be described as

101
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:31,039
dire and you maxed out your X Factor

102
00:07:28,599 --> 00:07:37,479
score this is where Jess podcasts I think we can all agree that Jessica's

103
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:41,080
need is the most um so as part of yours

104
00:07:37,479 --> 00:07:43,159
and On's consolation prizes uh you don't

105
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:52,080
live at Jessica's house and you will each be taking home a

106
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:53,960
407d super wa wow holy smok thank you

107
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:59,000
for participating and letting us judge you uh you think I want I want to live

108
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:05,960
at my house is that the prize do I get to live some somewhere else now

109
00:08:03,159 --> 00:08:11,560
no but the prize is that we are going to give you an overhaul however there's a

110
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:16,039
catch it's dealer's choice you can give us a rough idea of what you're trying to

111
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:22,759
do which you already have and after that it's completely up to my team of experts

112
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:28,360
we've got the walking Hazard the silent

113
00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:30,240
Enigma and Justin who's just in the team

114
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:35,640
okay you guys ready we have 1 hour before lonus gets here okay that's

115
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:40,959
it go can we put the new panels over top of

116
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:49,720
those yes or

117
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:52,959
no yes yeah do it put them over

118
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:55,959
top all right pull bring it over fits it

119
00:08:52,959 --> 00:09:00,000
perfectly like a glove yeah so this is

120
00:08:55,959 --> 00:09:02,320
their 27 in 360 HZ monitor it's cutie

121
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,160
OLED as well these things are freaking awesome Dell Alienware has been killing

122
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:10,360
it in the monitor game and wait which way is oh this way there you go nice all

123
00:09:08,959 --> 00:09:20,480
right you ready to boot up woo oh tasteful yeah here we go here

124
00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:23,839
we go look we upgraded your shoes oo

125
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:26,040
airflow as you know you need two setups

126
00:09:23,839 --> 00:09:30,200
uh one of which you had already in the podcasting closet and one of which you

127
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:37,760
had a desk for and that's about as far as you got well Jessica here it is your

128
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:41,600
desk but now with a gaming

129
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:45,120
rig an actual computer tower an actual

130
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,920
computer tower and and I personally

131
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:52,880
removed what appeared to be milk from the desk oh no there's no milk on the

132
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:58,519
desk anymore Oh I thought you meant in no no no oh my gosh okay so why don't we

133
00:09:56,839 --> 00:10:02,200
for starter okay so where do where's my second one of these so can stack them on

134
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:07,279
top of each other you know what I will be right back

135
00:10:04,839 --> 00:10:11,519
I have a solution to that it's off the floor now it'll suck

136
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:15,959
in so much less cat hair that actually is a consideration

137
00:10:14,079 --> 00:10:20,839
that we should have considered what I would like you to do is just move the

138
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:27,880
mouse okay do you notice anything well there

139
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:31,880
is a uh there is uh a pad underneath it

140
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:35,680
rather than uh unforgiving

141
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:38,800
hardwood yes do you notice anything

142
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:41,839
else uh it is

143
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:45,079
Wireless yes do you notice anything else

144
00:10:41,839 --> 00:10:49,240
you know about maybe just the experience

145
00:10:45,079 --> 00:10:52,360
uh it is bright enough to see

146
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:54,639
everything without squinting okay or

147
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,399
being in a completely dark room it has extremely low

148
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:02,560
sensitivity okay leave the mouse alone for a second do you notice anything

149
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,959
about the experience it's

150
00:11:07,079 --> 00:11:10,399
better I have

151
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:17,360
autism Jessica and this is something we've observed many times and we've

152
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:22,240
always thought is a little weird I've never actually asked you about it though

153
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:28,200
Jessica usually games on her work computer uh using remote access so after

154
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:32,320
wow Luke and I would frequently come across oh I don't know

155
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:35,680
Dave the diver or other various games it's not that we were trying to Snoop on

156
00:11:33,959 --> 00:11:39,399
you it's just that we go up there to play Super checks that makes sense and

157
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:44,279
your computer would often be on playing games and we're sitting here going it's

158
00:11:41,839 --> 00:11:49,399
Dave the [ __ ] diver she doesn't have a computer at home that can run this so

159
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:54,120
my point is anyway Jessica please grab that window for the

160
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:59,079
love of God grab that window and move it around and tell me you can't tell that

161
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,959
you're at 360 Hertz I've never looked at

162
00:11:59,079 --> 00:12:05,880
a screen with 360 okay let's open a game let's just open a game okay we'll open a

163
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:11,200
game then let's go with Alan WG to why don't we talk about the setup okay she's

164
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:13,839
got an aw 2725 DF cue OLED gaming

165
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:19,360
monitor this thing freaking rocks I can't not click on heads with it I

166
00:12:15,959 --> 00:12:21,360
absolutely love it it's 1440p 360 HZ

167
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:27,440
Lightning Fast pixel response times it's literally one of if not the best gaming

168
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:30,760
monitors on the market and to go with it

169
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:33,680
we've got a whole new machine 13600 k a

170
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:38,079
susb 760 plus motherboard 850 W titanium power supply and to drive all those

171
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:46,160
pixels add up to 360 frames per second NVIDIA sent over an RTX 480 super so

172
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:48,120
this thing is going to absolutely Crush

173
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:53,720
any game you throw at it oh that's a slow run I don't think that's the

174
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:56,880
monitor's fault that is a slow run I can

175
00:12:53,720 --> 00:13:00,320
run faster than that and I have

176
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:03,040
asthma it's HDR

177
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:07,000
yeah looks very nice I'm very happy I don't know if that's

178
00:13:04,839 --> 00:13:11,600
obvious thank you for telling us explicitly we actually do appreciate

179
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:17,399
that I am experiencing very positive emotions this I that is what you get

180
00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:20,040
walking j walking in New York just get

181
00:13:17,399 --> 00:13:26,160
punched by Shadow Demons the best part guys is that we don't have to be limited

182
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:30,240
to just games that support HDR to get

183
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:32,800
these dazzling lights and this level of

184
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:37,160
cool uhhuh see that that's good you're doing good now you'll be hosting Tech

185
00:13:34,199 --> 00:13:42,120
tips in no time yeah let's play an older game and show you guys how RTX HDR

186
00:13:40,279 --> 00:13:48,240
conversion Works did you ever play the Batman games I did originally on uh on

187
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:50,880
Console I did okay well let's fix that

188
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:57,480
woo so the big thing we're seeing here is that this is a game that was never

189
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:59,720
remastered in HDR and yet man look at

190
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:04,440
the lights of Gotham City yeah that lightning flash so that timing

191
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:08,480
couldn't have been any better look thugs go get them those those could be just

192
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:12,000
nice young men they're they're destroying a car this guy's

193
00:14:13,079 --> 00:14:19,680
not did he just take off in the air I

194
00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:24,639
don't know how are you liking the setup it's really cool we got you a new

195
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:27,560
keyboard yes new mouse basically

196
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:33,360
everything just this desk seemed extremely sturdy yes and we felt that it

197
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:40,639
was fine all right there's more check this out table management

198
00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:43,199
wires I know well no not just the the

199
00:14:40,639 --> 00:14:48,920
wires are new they are yes the management of them is also new but the

200
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:50,720
wires themselves are new check this out

201
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:54,120
where do they go let's play Follow the cables by the way you might have noticed

202
00:14:52,519 --> 00:15:01,040
we're using our new magnetic Cable Management arches of store.com here it

203
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,040
is your laptop stack

204
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:07,360
oh oh wow you seem surprisingly unconcerned by

205
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,880
that okay well anyway you're not going to be using them anymore that was my

206
00:15:08,959 --> 00:15:15,639
point and you won't be using these anymore either you'll be using none of

207
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:21,480
that goodbye taada have a seat a closet the closet is

208
00:15:19,839 --> 00:15:29,800
not what's new what's new is the proper acoustic

209
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:32,720
panels which go ahead lean in and talk

210
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:37,920
ah uh also we had pretty limited space to work with in here which got us

211
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,639
thinking what if there was a creative

212
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:44,480
monitor that could give you way more screen real estate but was an

213
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:50,680
unconventional shape yeah so we chose the LG dual up it's a taller than normal

214
00:15:48,319 --> 00:15:54,920
monitor that gives you not only way more space but as you noticed before way more

215
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:58,639
brightness as well and what's really cool about this is that we're using a

216
00:15:56,959 --> 00:16:02,920
fiber optic DisplayPort cable to run the mon Monitor and then we're using an

217
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:07,800
active USB cable to get your peripherals over here so this is the same computer

218
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:13,519
yes which means that if you wanted you could podcast on your I don't have to

219
00:16:11,199 --> 00:16:18,360
drag the whole Tower over here yeah you just drag yourself over here

220
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:23,079
and you're good to go we've got your audio interface uh we've got a usb3 hub

221
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:28,440
so you can run other devices if you need to and you could even game in here if if

222
00:16:25,959 --> 00:16:32,680
I really wanted to feel like Batman you probably also couldn't help noticing

223
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:40,240
that we managed to put a mouse pad in here Justin custom cut this to be

224
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:42,120
exactly the size of your board how do

225
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:47,480
the headphones feel well they don't make my head hurt

226
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:51,399
okay which is good they're very light yes and they're very soft these are the

227
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:54,880
dt770 pros from beay dynamic they are amazing uh they're one of my personal

228
00:16:53,440 --> 00:17:00,199
favorites and the it's all about the comfort and here if you pop them off for

229
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:02,240
a second the noise I ation so they've

230
00:17:00,199 --> 00:17:07,480
got this nice I don't know what the hell to call this fabric

231
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,480
chinchilla chinchilla fur yes Chiller

232
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:13,679
ear cup and then they are a closed back headphone but they still sound really

233
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:17,959
good even though closed back is not generally my preference I cannot get

234
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:22,120
over what a difference in image quality this new monitor is and again shout out

235
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:27,439
infinite cables that active DisplayPort cable I use those same ones at my house

236
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,600
and they are flipping amazing and the

237
00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:35,520
best part is that you know how top fans tend to be kind of whiny right if you're

238
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,520
ever recording a podcast or anything in

239
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:43,720
