so the point of this video is just to quickly demonstrate the uh the power
0:04
consumption of the four-way SLI 6 core machine while running a typical game so
0:10
I have race driver grid running at 1280x
0:14
800 um on my projector here and um this
0:17
is actually I I mentioned this in another video I'm not sure if I ever uploaded it or not though but this is my
0:22
first time gaming on a projector and so I got my G25 wheel set up here and uh
0:29
it's actually pretty cool I don't know how many inches this screen is but it's
0:33
a lot um just projecting onto a white wall and it's actually kind of this
0:37
projector is just a a demo unit that I get to have a look at for a couple days
0:42
but uh I think it's pretty much got me convinced to oh that kind of failed it's
0:46
got me pretty much convinced that I need to go out and buy a projector now so
0:50
anyway I'll get the uh cameraman or uh
0:53
to go have a look at the uh the energy
0:57
meter that I have sitting on the wall I'm crashed so I'm going to get up and turn on the light in the room here so
1:02
that you can actually read it so anyway there that gives you some idea this is
1:06
not a worst case scenario this is running a fairly
1:10
non-demanding game uh grid isn't sort of
1:13
the worst that you'll see um but what I saw before was typically in the sort of
1:19
1,000 watt range so something to bear in mind is that means the system's probably
1:23
pulling about 850 Watts during a typical
1:27
gaming load so I'm going to actually update this with some synthetic
1:31
benchmarks which should give us some more realistic absolute maximum power
1:36
consumption but what this does tell us is that the 1500 wat power supply is
1:40
more than comfortable with the load that this system can put out
