so our ultimate employee lounge has been up and running for quite some time we
got xbox we got playstation we got nintendo switch but the one thing
missing is a freaking gaming pc now you guys
might remember that we actually had one here before but that had to be taken
apart so that we could scavenge parts from it for gaming at every price point
which we showed off at ltx so we've actually had no functioning vr setup in
here at all fortunately that changes today the mad
lads over at origin pc just sent over
what they are calling the tetris pc
why tetris you might ask well apparently there's like a vr
version of tetris that's like super
amazeballs or something and they built an entire themed pc
around this game for us to check out install and take for a test drive so
let's get it deployed and let's try out some uh
tetris vr shall we should we give them a sneak peek
oh come on just take care yeah man there you go that's all you get
that's it just just roll the intro
i got it oh wow it's heavy holy crap
oh one two three
oh wow not bad is that the name of the game
tetris it's a free kick awesome oh no that wasn't the cool side
this is the cool side
we got it wrong Jake
that looks freaking awesome so this
config is about as crazy as it gets so
we've got a 3900x that's a 12 core AMD
processor in there we're running on MSI's x570 god like motherboard which
about it is about as fully featured as it gets it's like a 700 800 motherboard
like that something crazy like that we've got a terabyte of pci express gen
4 storage courtesy of Corsair we've got Corsair's dominator pro RGB memory which
apparently has been configured with like a tetris block falling effect we've got
dual rtx 2080 supers and these are a really interesting one to me because the
2080 super actually inherits the pcb of the 2080 ti so
compared to buying a single 2080 ti if your game supports sli two of these is a
very cost effective way to get mondo
frame rates so i'm really excited to try this out in vr hilariously though as top
of the line as this thing is uh the first thing we're gonna do before we
play any vr games is upgrade it
not because the hardware is not fast but because rather than just running our vr
with a tether like you know a bunch of plebs
we're going to be using y gig so this right here is the 60 gigahertz y
gig card that comes with the vive wireless kit so we're going to be taking
this headset over yeah
and turning it into one that doesn't have all this you know
i didn't want to have too much yeah too much meow
okay so we have to maintain these two slots
for sli um i think we're gonna have to use this riser for the middle
and then we're gonna have to add a riser right so here's the thing even though
AMD has more pci express lanes on their consumer chips than Intel does
it comes down to the motherboard manufacturers and the way that they
implement the splitting because even AMD doesn't have enough for you know a 16x
graphics card another 16x graphics card and then like all these other slots to
have their full lane allotment so in order to get sli working which means we
need a minimum of an 8x link on each of our graphics cards we need to plug this
one into a slot that is wired through the chipset so that's why Jake is moving
the risers around right now so we've moved our second graphics card into a
middle slot so that we can put our wireless adapter there and then move the
other end of this adapter right here into the bottom slot that's wired up
through the motherboard chipset then we've added our own pci express riser
right here in the middle we're going to plug this one into the other what will be an 8x
slot and then our second graphics card is going to plug in to this one which
wait where are we going to put it it goes through here i actually had to cut
this to make it fit i see that okay well that should work i mean it's
mostly supported by it's supported by this and the envy link connector
card number one what that was fine you gotta hold this back plate i did hold
the back plate i was holding it from the bottom look like that you're a liar not lying i was
holding it right like that i was holding it from the back and i just squeezed my
hand like that i'm holding it for you now no you're not holding it i'm holding
it see look see how i can move it away from your hand like that see like holding the graphics no no i'm holding
the bottom where oh you got your little finger in there i see i have small hands
so ah right it's a it's an evolutionary
pc building advantage i was born to do this all right so now
our wide gig card goes right there so the bad news is that it's got a
graphics card right up against it that is going to be making this heatsink work
like it's never worked before the good news is that there's a fan right next to
it that should at least give it some airflow across it that looks freaking
awesome and it's upgraded now
the shirt is also a wipe lttstore.com so
there it is guys our dual graphics cards our y gig adapter and then that is that
is it that is all the expansion that we'll be doing here and that's really
one of the best parts about buying an origin pc not only do mods like this not
void your warranty but origin pc support is there to help with them they offer
upgrade recommendations available direct from their inventory and even free
installs if you're not comfortable doing upgrades yourself you just have to ship
them over your system if you don't want the hassle and worry of sending in your
system they can even walk you through the upgrade over the phone email or live
chat for free 24 7 with their us-based in-house customer service
the antenna on this thing is uh i'm picking it up now pretty crazy payments
oh we're going we're going there you go okay that's not too bad
i am gonna i'm gonna put these back down here all right let's get our peripherals
hooked up okay so i was trying to find the uh the breakout box but we don't
need this we're gonna pull this off right i think it goes forward yeah oh
yeah i've done that a few times really yeah cause um
i replaced my cable with like a thinner one or something
it's not actually that much thinner it's just oh don't leave that one you want
the headphones right oh yeah yeah we still need the headphone jack
okay so this is the wireless receiver it's going to supply both power usb
audio and our display through the wide gig antenna up there and you can go
pretty far and you can actually have up to three of these things operating at
the same time in the same space i actually didn't know that yeah but we're
just gonna use it for us because we don't have friends now this adapter is actually compatible
with the vive pro as well but you need the vive pro
cable which only comes with the vive pro version of the kit which
we don't have and then the last component
so you don't actually have to use these vibrant battery packs although that's all that's going to fit in this little
strap thing you just have to use something that has qualcomm quick charge
3.0 which coincidentally we have a massive one before
wow that would run for a while maybe not the most comfortable thing you
might need a belt oh that's heavy but this one works pretty good so yeah why
don't we just go with that stick with that for now there we go
hey that's more like it oh no way
wait what they went and they put tetra stuff on the motherboard as well
what the heck that's awesome
i'm actually really interested to see how this performs like do you think it's gonna be crappy
i don't know i mean they've let me point the antenna a little better if the
marketing is to be believed it should be basically the same latency as
the regular vr experience you know i don't notice a difference
do you know if it's got to compress the video stream a little bit right i've
been playing a lot on the index so i will say that the image quality is a
significant step down compared to what i've been used to lately but in terms of the
latency it feels great i mean this is so much better than wearing one of those
backpacks just because you just got a little thing clipped and like
it does the horns here do make the headset feel
a little bit heavier but it's not bad
okay so are we gonna do this tetris thing first yeah i guess so
have you played this before tetris what do you mean have i played tetris
before i'm old of course i've played tetris oh wait wait oh come on
it's just the controls i'm having trouble with
three times what you've got you know what the music's really good though i can see how people could kind of just
like you know groove to this these visual effects are getting more intense
oh oh oh shoot that was close
shoot i keep i just keep pressing the wrong buttons like that's the issue
whoa oh no no what are you doing
i keep pressing up instead of down you're committing sudoku right now this
is not good okay this one changes it this one there we go
this one changes you might actually lose the first level
he might yeah okay this is not my finest
gaming performance here what was that that was me not knowing where to put
that okay you got one wow you only need 10 more lines oh wow
oh boy oh boy this is not good
i'm sure all the tetris nerds are like wow Linus wtf yo
right about now i'm sure all the normies who don't play tetris are like yo Linus
wtford oh no no i wanted to turn it one more time
you need seven more lines i can't i can't do the controls i can't
ah you heard it here first Linus can't even
play the first level of tetris and we literally have the performance metrics
like right on the screen i can't blame the computer or the lag at all
it's like perfect
people are giving me a hard time about like being winded after playing vr but
like if you're not winded you're not doing it right
have you done this song before a little bit
what the hell
154 combo he hasn't screwed up a single one yet
yeah these are quite a bit heavier
man that was butter that was butter smooth it's not 120 hertz but uh
it'll do i gotta say i am
shocked how smooth this is
the performance or the wireless i mean
the performance with this much horsepower i was expecting it to be good
but this is a game that i'd be particularly sensitive to latency in
just because the timing is pretty tight for a lot of stuff
but it's i can't tell
like if i didn't know i was wireless
i would have no idea yeah i wonder if even in a blind taste
test if you'd be able to tell no you don't think so absolutely not
yeah there's no way i'm like
yeah more frames per second would be better more resolution would be better
but it's definitely not a latency issue
this is definitely a little more demanding than uh beat saber we're up
around eight milliseconds eight and a half milliseconds but we're still
comfortably under 11 which is all you need for 90 hertz
pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow wow the accuracy sucks
there's like recoil and stuff what do they want from me the real gun
no way when a demon is staggered from taking
enough damage you can teleport into it simultaneously obliterating it um okay
okay sure so that's the equivalent of a glory kill oh
okay that's gross blood everywhere
oh god ah oh god
use the explody thing oh what the crap oh boy
oh what you're getting wrecked
yeah this is awesome i'm not seeing more than like seven milliseconds here in this like
relatively simple environment oh dang it these guys lunge at the last
second that is pretty good
i mean we're only standing in the spawn area right now pull left trigger
to walk but you don't want to watch oh my god
that is very not that one
trey disorienting
which way do i go to the right that portal over there that one okay oh i'm
gonna get sick isn't this insane somebody collected these resources by
hand and like wow built this in a day
it's pretty impressive how do i move again oh yeah there you go
okay you're flying okay and then oh there's all the beacons so if you double
tap the
pad again it'll make you go down
it's weird it's chugging but it's not like GPU limited it feels like because
it's only like four milliseconds your spss
oh no yeah it's only 47. huh
that is um actually feels very high
all right we're doing it boys
oh wow like my legs were like braced for
impact oh there you go oh man i gotta like
crouch just wait until you get outside
this has been quite the adventure
oh that is so much better i am so much
more comfortable right now okay go back around to the buttons it's
fine now okay where are we going um
where are we going boys there we go okay
oh oh wow oh that is so nauseating
oh my god this is a bad experience
okay it's running really smoothly and that's cool but these stair step rails
i didn't try this before i don't know what hurts more my head or my stomach
okay this is okay when i'm just on a straightaway
this is pretty cool no oh wow
okay i'm done i'm out i'm done oh
oh i feel so sick
why is it with videos with me you always end up on the ground i don't know
i'm pretty sure you do it on purpose i didn't i thought it would be
well cool that's left now is a massive shout out to origin pc for sending this over and
sponsoring this video and uh an admission that we might not have
hooked it up just right when we like mashed down on this cable uh that was
unnecessary they actually included a right angle HDMI in the box so that you
can just go like that whoops well now we know
yep that's a little better so thanks for watching guys check out my
review of the valve index if you haven't had quite enough LTT for one day
