WEBVTT

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

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

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:21.680
that is the uh monitor setup you see back there so it's the three 23in

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:24.840
Samsung narrow bezel LCDs on this base I

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:26.640
did a full unboxing as well as a as a

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

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

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

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:45.760
quite complicated but now we've finally got it set up with our ultimate AMD

00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:51.160
machine which I have updated and I've installed the brand new 5970 graphics

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

00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:02.239
replacement for the 5870 but faster better stronger more

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

00:01:04.360 --> 00:01:13.240
a couple full Tech tips episodes on which has our Phenom 2 X6 1100t turbo

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:20.720
processor it's got uh 4 gigs of Corsair Dominator GT memory Corsair h70 cooler

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:23.400
ax850 power supply dual Corsair 40 gig

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:29.439
ssds which are hiding back there somewhere as well as an assus Crosshair

00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:32.159
4 formula motherboard in the Corsair

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

00:01:34.399 --> 00:01:41.399
the heaven Benchmark here right now I actually don't have a score yet because

00:01:38.399 --> 00:01:43.439
I'm just prepping this episode of ncx

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

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

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

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

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:05.920
mean it's a different experience when these are angled correctly towards your

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:09.239
face and you're kind of looking at it like that's your peripheral vision and

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:14.599
that's your Center Vision now remember guys you can also set this up so that

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

00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:23.000
for the super wide Panorama view versus

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:25.000
the uh the taller less wide Panorama

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

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:37.239
monitor um facing in towards you then you can also

00:02:34.959 --> 00:02:41.840
just make the whole thing flat if you prefer that although it's not going to

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

00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:50.920
actually kind of um uh stretch this image a little bit so that it makes more

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

00:02:52.360 --> 00:03:00.319
of weird because really what's right here is actually beside you so it's a

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

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

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

00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:19.959
don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips ncixcom both of my channels for

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:22.159
more cool videos about this sort of good

00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:26.519
stuff now I should also mention while it's probably not ideal for gamers there

00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:31.560
is a six monitor version some people commented on the unboxing video for this

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

00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:39.879
skew that comes preset up to do six

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

00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:47.200
otherwise the same panels you just have uh double the number of them and check

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

00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:55.480
of this one well it gets even more complicated when you're looking at six

00:03:52.920 --> 00:04:01.079
panels instead of uh instead of three panels so yeah it's not cheap but I

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

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:13.959
product and actually our Heaven Benchmark is uh finished running so you

00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:16.000
can see here with a single 6970 at stock

00:04:13.959 --> 00:04:20.239
speeds with the actually here well you can see my full system configuration

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

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:29.199
pretty darn impressive for a single card

00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:34.919
at this kind of resolution that is

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:34.919
triple HD resolution very cool
