WEBVTT

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:07.200
so valve has released the steam Hardware survey upon the world they've given a

00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:12.719
way for us Hardware enthusiasts to weigh and measure ourselves to see if we are

00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:15.759
actually worthy of VR and it's left some

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:18.439
of us kind of wanting how it runs this

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

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

00:00:23.599 --> 00:00:32.320
around when it's done it will serve you your results whether or not you are

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:32.320
ready capable or not

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

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:49.039
you're in 20 different countries learn more and try tunnel bear for free at the

00:00:47.559 --> 00:00:56.120
link in the video description so yeah it's spoiler alert

00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:58.239
not that good looking only 99.4% of

00:00:56.120 --> 00:01:02.559
people have actually made it through if you look down below that it

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:07.240
will tell you the results the results will tell you how to upgrade your system

00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:10.479
in order to become ready if you expand lower than that it will tell you how

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.600
many frames were encoded how many frames were above 90 FPS which is extremely

00:01:12.759 --> 00:01:19.080
important considering VR screens are usually 90 HZ plus we'll tell you how

00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:23.119
many frames were dropped by your CPU and the average Fidelity of the scene or the

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:30.159
graphical quality that it was able to accomplish while running through the

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:32.280
entire scene so yeah 99.4% of people

00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:37.680
slightly lower than that already based on the steam Hardware survey so get

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

00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:46.320
hardware Community is not actually up there enough for VR people complain

00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:51.240
about the cost of headsets but their computers aren't even ready but let's

00:01:49.479 --> 00:01:55.960
take a sec and actually analyze where those numbers came from the steam

00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:59.000
Hardware survey is it up to

00:01:55.960 --> 00:02:02.000
Snuff the steam Hardware survey is a

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:04.079
simple but very powerful tool you submit

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.159
your data to valve they total it put percentages of how many people are

00:02:05.399 --> 00:02:11.280
running what on it and make it publicly available great tons of people use it we

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:15.800
at lineus Media Group use it we use it to quantify how many people are going

00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:20.440
for what card what chip what brand whatever and then discuss that in videos

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

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:27.800
continue to do that in the future another group of people that uses it

00:02:25.519 --> 00:02:33.319
game devs they use it to Target what Hardware they need to prepare game for

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.519
is it a very high-end very high fidelity

00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:39.400
game well they probably need to Target whatever the highest percentage of

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:43.440
high-end cards are that kind of makes sense it's a relatively simple concept

00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:47.959
but does it make sense for VR does the hardware survey actually apply properly

00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:53.599
to VR I would argue no because there's too much garbage data what is garbage

00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:58.200
data well I for one fall in this category I have probably about seven

00:02:55.480 --> 00:03:02.519
computers in the steam Hardware survey but probably one of them

00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:06.720
actually exactly one of them is only intended for VR none of the other ones

00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:11.760
will ever probably do anything in the VR space they're there to play stuff like

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:16.840
papers pleas or Minecraft or counter- striker Team Fortress and those rigs

00:03:13.959 --> 00:03:19.640
should not be in a percentage system in order to figure out the amount of

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

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.680
from and people have been saying for a long time including me that the

00:03:26.799 --> 00:03:32.879
community isn't ready

00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:37.439
to get an accurate representation of the gaming community's Readiness for VR you

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

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

00:03:43.640 --> 00:03:49.080
have a bunch of Hardware there's a problem there as well though I have a

00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:54.239
bunch of bleeding edge current generation Hardware I don't have the

00:03:51.239 --> 00:03:57.640
interesting bits like the I5 2500 in the

00:03:54.239 --> 00:03:59.760
GTX 680 which sold a bunch and might

00:03:57.640 --> 00:04:03.439
actually still be able to skim buy into that ready category that's interesting I

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

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:14.360
things like $30,000 computers and computers that fit into bombs they're

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:16.239
fun but they don't really matter a ton

00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:21.320
in this data set I don't need to reaffirm that really expensive really

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:26.479
overbuilt modern current generation gaming Hardware is able to run VR we get

00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:30.479
that it's the more interesting data that I'm looking

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:35.280
for this is where you come in we need the community to come together and make

00:04:33.039 --> 00:04:39.080
a massively collaborative benchmarking project so we can see where the

00:04:36.919 --> 00:04:42.800
Enthusiast Community is sitting in terms of VR performance we can do this on the

00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:46.759
Forum the line of SE tips Community Forum jumper 118 has already done

00:04:45.039 --> 00:04:50.520
something similar with cinebench he has an awesome thread with over 500

00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:54.960
submissions of people cinebench scores that's super cool I've used those

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

00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:02.440
anyone of the comments freaks out this is all publicly available stuff we're

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

00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:11.160
yeah please submit your test results there we can see how our community is

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

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

00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:23.479
if you're remotely interested in VR or high-end gaming at all submit your rig

00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:28.280
and let's figure it out crunchy roll is a site created by

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:32.280
anime fans for anime fans they offer the most current episodes of new shows

00:05:30.400 --> 00:05:36.919

00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:41.880
they also have a large collection of the most popular anime series like say

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:45.600
