all right so we've got our oh just so happens we start the video exactly when
it goes like down to the dungeon but we've got our MD 230 X3 monitor setup so
that is the uh monitor setup you see back there so it's the three 23in
Samsung narrow bezel LCDs on this base I
did a full unboxing as well as a as a
sort of overview of this you know what here I'm just going to start the Benchmark over because this is all the
dark scenes you can't see anything uh so we'll go to like the uh the town and the
ship that's a little bit better so uh I showed all the wiring in the back that's
quite complicated but now we've finally got it set up with our ultimate AMD
machine which I have updated and I've installed the brand new 5970 graphics
card so this is a fully ifinity direct X11 all that good stuff card it is the
replacement for the 5870 but faster better stronger more
powerful all that good stuff so we've got that in our machine that we also did
a couple full Tech tips episodes on which has our Phenom 2 X6 1100t turbo
processor it's got uh 4 gigs of Corsair Dominator GT memory Corsair h70 cooler
ax850 power supply dual Corsair 40 gig
ssds which are hiding back there somewhere as well as an assus Crosshair
4 formula motherboard in the Corsair
graphite 600 TK so it's a very cool machine and you can see we're running
the heaven Benchmark here right now I actually don't have a score yet because
I'm just prepping this episode of ncx
tech tips that's going to focus on the new 6970 as well as the MD 230 X3 monitor
setup so it's pretty impressive and here cameraman I'll get out of your way for a
second so what I want you to do is go in a little bit closer so that the camera
angles yeah yeah actually that's perfect is kind of like sitting in front of it I
mean it's a different experience when these are angled correctly towards your
face and you're kind of looking at it like that's your peripheral vision and
that's your Center Vision now remember guys you can also set this up so that
the monitors are up this way but the way that I bolted it together we're going
for the super wide Panorama view versus
the uh the taller less wide Panorama
View and also you can adjust the uh the hinges here so if you don't want the
monitor um facing in towards you then you can also
just make the whole thing flat if you prefer that although it's not going to
look as good cuz if that's flat you'll you'll find that uh that most games will
actually kind of um uh stretch this image a little bit so that it makes more
sense out of your peripheral vision so if you put it flat then it'll look kind
of weird because really what's right here is actually beside you so it's a
lot closer to you than you know the the wall in front of you in all likelihood
so it'll it'll look weird if you don't uh if you don't do it like this so
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
don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips ncixcom both of my channels for
more cool videos about this sort of good
stuff now I should also mention while it's probably not ideal for gamers there
is a six monitor version some people commented on the unboxing video for this
well can you can you stack two of them you can't but there is a six monitor
skew that comes preset up to do six
panels so it looks like this uh the stand is a little bit taller but it's
otherwise the same panels you just have uh double the number of them and check
out the wiring at the back of it cuz I showed you guys the wiring on the back
of this one well it gets even more complicated when you're looking at six
panels instead of uh instead of three panels so yeah it's not cheap but I
guess you you got to pay to play for uh for this kind of uh this kind of
product and actually our Heaven Benchmark is uh finished running so you
can see here with a single 6970 at stock
speeds with the actually here well you can see my full system configuration
here as well as all of my settings we get 24.3 frames per second which is
pretty darn impressive for a single card
at this kind of resolution that is
triple HD resolution very cool
