1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,200
so valve has released the steam Hardware survey upon the world they've given a

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:12,719
way for us Hardware enthusiasts to weigh and measure ourselves to see if we are

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:15,759
actually worthy of VR and it's left some

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:18,439
of us kind of wanting how it runs this

5
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:21,640
test is it does the portal VR demo where it just expands a little machine and you

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,039
have to try to look at it and whatnot but just has a static camera that moves

7
00:00:23,599 --> 00:00:32,320
around when it's done it will serve you your results whether or not you are

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,320
ready capable or not

9
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:45,680
ready tunnel bear is the easy to use VPN service that lets you use the web as if

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,039
you're in 20 different countries learn more and try tunnel bear for free at the

11
00:00:47,559 --> 00:00:56,120
link in the video description so yeah it's spoiler alert

12
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:58,239
not that good looking only 99.4% of

13
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:02,559
people have actually made it through if you look down below that it

14
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:07,240
will tell you the results the results will tell you how to upgrade your system

15
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:10,479
in order to become ready if you expand lower than that it will tell you how

16
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:14,600
many frames were encoded how many frames were above 90 FPS which is extremely

17
00:01:12,759 --> 00:01:19,080
important considering VR screens are usually 90 HZ plus we'll tell you how

18
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:23,119
many frames were dropped by your CPU and the average Fidelity of the scene or the

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:30,159
graphical quality that it was able to accomplish while running through the

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:32,280
entire scene so yeah 99.4% of people

21
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:37,680
slightly lower than that already based on the steam Hardware survey so get

22
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:42,320
wrecked I guess we've been saying this for a long time online of te tips the

23
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:46,320
hardware Community is not actually up there enough for VR people complain

24
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:51,240
about the cost of headsets but their computers aren't even ready but let's

25
00:01:49,479 --> 00:01:55,960
take a sec and actually analyze where those numbers came from the steam

26
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:59,000
Hardware survey is it up to

27
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:02,000
Snuff the steam Hardware survey is a

28
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,079
simple but very powerful tool you submit

29
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,159
your data to valve they total it put percentages of how many people are

30
00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:11,280
running what on it and make it publicly available great tons of people use it we

31
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,800
at lineus Media Group use it we use it to quantify how many people are going

32
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:20,440
for what card what chip what brand whatever and then discuss that in videos

33
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,720
or the W show from time to time it's a pretty interesting concept and I we will

34
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,800
continue to do that in the future another group of people that uses it

35
00:02:25,519 --> 00:02:33,319
game devs they use it to Target what Hardware they need to prepare game for

36
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,519
is it a very high-end very high fidelity

37
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:39,400
game well they probably need to Target whatever the highest percentage of

38
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:43,440
high-end cards are that kind of makes sense it's a relatively simple concept

39
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:47,959
but does it make sense for VR does the hardware survey actually apply properly

40
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:53,599
to VR I would argue no because there's too much garbage data what is garbage

41
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:58,200
data well I for one fall in this category I have probably about seven

42
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:02,519
computers in the steam Hardware survey but probably one of them

43
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:06,720
actually exactly one of them is only intended for VR none of the other ones

44
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:11,760
will ever probably do anything in the VR space they're there to play stuff like

45
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:16,840
papers pleas or Minecraft or counter- striker Team Fortress and those rigs

46
00:03:13,959 --> 00:03:19,640
should not be in a percentage system in order to figure out the amount of

47
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:25,200
computers ready for VR I understand that's not what the steam Hardware survey is but that's where the 9.4% came

48
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,680
from and people have been saying for a long time including me that the

49
00:03:26,799 --> 00:03:32,879
community isn't ready

50
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:37,439
to get an accurate representation of the gaming community's Readiness for VR you

51
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:41,439
need a lot of data to get a lot of this data you need a lot of people and you

52
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:45,439
need a lot of Hardware I'm only one man so I don't fix that category but I do

53
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:49,080
have a bunch of Hardware there's a problem there as well though I have a

54
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:54,239
bunch of bleeding edge current generation Hardware I don't have the

55
00:03:51,239 --> 00:03:57,640
interesting bits like the I5 2500 in the

56
00:03:54,239 --> 00:03:59,760
GTX 680 which sold a bunch and might

57
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:03,439
actually still be able to skim buy into that ready category that's interesting I

58
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:08,560
want to figure out what is just going to be able to make it here we specialize on

59
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:14,360
things like $30,000 computers and computers that fit into bombs they're

60
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,239
fun but they don't really matter a ton

61
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:21,320
in this data set I don't need to reaffirm that really expensive really

62
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:26,479
overbuilt modern current generation gaming Hardware is able to run VR we get

63
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:30,479
that it's the more interesting data that I'm looking

64
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:35,280
for this is where you come in we need the community to come together and make

65
00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:39,080
a massively collaborative benchmarking project so we can see where the

66
00:04:36,919 --> 00:04:42,800
Enthusiast Community is sitting in terms of VR performance we can do this on the

67
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:46,759
Forum the line of SE tips Community Forum jumper 118 has already done

68
00:04:45,039 --> 00:04:50,520
something similar with cinebench he has an awesome thread with over 500

69
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:54,960
submissions of people cinebench scores that's super cool I've used those

70
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:58,680
results in videos in the past before and I'm not looking to sell this data before

71
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,440
anyone of the comments freaks out this is all publicly available stuff we're

72
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,759
not selling it I just want to host online at se.com forum CU it's easy so

73
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:11,160
yeah please submit your test results there we can see how our community is

74
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:15,320
ready for VR because I'm pretty sure it's higher than 99.4% so don't worry if

75
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:19,639
you have a low-end rig if you're running multiple cards whatever it happens to be

76
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,479
if you're remotely interested in VR or high-end gaming at all submit your rig

77
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:28,280
and let's figure it out crunchy roll is a site created by

78
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,280

80
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:41,880
they also have a large collection of the most popular anime series like say

81
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:45,600
