1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:08,320 all right so we've got our oh just so happens we start the video exactly when 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:14,879 it goes like down to the dungeon but we've got our MD 230 X3 monitor setup so 3 00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:21,680 that is the uh monitor setup you see back there so it's the three 23in 4 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:24,840 Samsung narrow bezel LCDs on this base I 5 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,640 did a full unboxing as well as a as a 6 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:31,720 sort of overview of this you know what here I'm just going to start the Benchmark over because this is all the 7 00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:35,760 dark scenes you can't see anything uh so we'll go to like the uh the town and the 8 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:40,200 ship that's a little bit better so uh I showed all the wiring in the back that's 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:45,760 quite complicated but now we've finally got it set up with our ultimate AMD 10 00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:51,160 machine which I have updated and I've installed the brand new 5970 graphics 11 00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:56,719 card so this is a fully ifinity direct X11 all that good stuff card it is the 12 00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:02,239 replacement for the 5870 but faster better stronger more 13 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:06,880 powerful all that good stuff so we've got that in our machine that we also did 14 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:13,240 a couple full Tech tips episodes on which has our Phenom 2 X6 1100t turbo 15 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:20,720 processor it's got uh 4 gigs of Corsair Dominator GT memory Corsair h70 cooler 16 00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:23,400 ax850 power supply dual Corsair 40 gig 17 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:29,439 ssds which are hiding back there somewhere as well as an assus Crosshair 18 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:32,159 4 formula motherboard in the Corsair 19 00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:36,840 graphite 600 TK so it's a very cool machine and you can see we're running 20 00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:41,399 the heaven Benchmark here right now I actually don't have a score yet because 21 00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:43,439 I'm just prepping this episode of ncx 22 00:01:41,399 --> 00:01:51,119 tech tips that's going to focus on the new 6970 as well as the MD 230 X3 monitor 23 00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:54,280 setup so it's pretty impressive and here cameraman I'll get out of your way for a 24 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:58,039 second so what I want you to do is go in a little bit closer so that the camera 25 00:01:56,039 --> 00:02:01,880 angles yeah yeah actually that's perfect is kind of like sitting in front of it I 26 00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:05,920 mean it's a different experience when these are angled correctly towards your 27 00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:09,239 face and you're kind of looking at it like that's your peripheral vision and 28 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:14,599 that's your Center Vision now remember guys you can also set this up so that 29 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:19,800 the monitors are up this way but the way that I bolted it together we're going 30 00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:23,000 for the super wide Panorama view versus 31 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,000 the uh the taller less wide Panorama 32 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:31,160 View and also you can adjust the uh the hinges here so if you don't want the 33 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:37,239 monitor um facing in towards you then you can also 34 00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:41,840 just make the whole thing flat if you prefer that although it's not going to 35 00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:47,000 look as good cuz if that's flat you'll you'll find that uh that most games will 36 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:50,920 actually kind of um uh stretch this image a little bit so that it makes more 37 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:55,000 sense out of your peripheral vision so if you put it flat then it'll look kind 38 00:02:52,360 --> 00:03:00,319 of weird because really what's right here is actually beside you so it's a 39 00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:04,440 lot closer to you than you know the the wall in front of you in all likelihood 40 00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:07,920 so it'll it'll look weird if you don't uh if you don't do it like this so 41 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:13,080 that's pretty much it I'm just showing you guys sort of some of the some of the prep work I'm doing for this episode and 42 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:19,959 don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips ncixcom both of my channels for 43 00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:22,159 more cool videos about this sort of good 44 00:03:19,959 --> 00:03:26,519 stuff now I should also mention while it's probably not ideal for gamers there 45 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:31,560 is a six monitor version some people commented on the unboxing video for this 46 00:03:29,239 --> 00:03:37,280 well can you can you stack two of them you can't but there is a six monitor 47 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,879 skew that comes preset up to do six 48 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:43,720 panels so it looks like this uh the stand is a little bit taller but it's 49 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:47,200 otherwise the same panels you just have uh double the number of them and check 50 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,360 out the wiring at the back of it cuz I showed you guys the wiring on the back 51 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:55,480 of this one well it gets even more complicated when you're looking at six 52 00:03:52,920 --> 00:04:01,079 panels instead of uh instead of three panels so yeah it's not cheap but I 53 00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:04,760 guess you you got to pay to play for uh for this kind of uh this kind of 54 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:13,959 product and actually our Heaven Benchmark is uh finished running so you 55 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:16,000 can see here with a single 6970 at stock 56 00:04:13,959 --> 00:04:20,239 speeds with the actually here well you can see my full system configuration 57 00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:26,199 here as well as all of my settings we get 24.3 frames per second which is 58 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:29,199 pretty darn impressive for a single card 59 00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:34,919 at this kind of resolution that is 60 00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:34,919 triple HD resolution very cool
