 To game at 8k resolution One GTX Titan two GTX Titans an entire armload of GTX Titans On this the 12th installment of holy shit We're gonna find out if I drop all these Titans. Oh No, I won't Cooler Masters MasterCase maker 5 features their freeform modular system allowing you to customize adjust and Upgrade make it yours at the link in the video description Okay, so first things first the answer is not any of these things because these are all old Titan X's They're like gross and ancient and like I mean look at it. This is an original Titan. Yeah No, the answer is going to be Nvidia's latest flagship Titan XPs based on the Pascal architecture Now I've heard of people jury-rigging them to run more than two at a time But for the time being we only have two and that's all that's officially supported and that's all we have SLI bridges for Anyhow, so the answer is gonna be two of the latest Titan XPs along with one of their fancy new High-bandwidth bridges which looks a little something like that. That's how you install it right like that It's a Nikki V SLI bridge installation tip boom. Oh, I almost dropped that. Sorry. Let's put that right there Did you get did you get that catch? Oh, that's a shame. That was awesome. I'm over it now. Okay, that's fine Okay, so the next thing we're gonna need of course is an 8k display of some sort and the astute among you are probably already aware that unless I could get a company to send me some kind of amazing pre-production prototype or something well those don't really exist yet, so Instead I'm going to be tackling this in a way that I think will give us the performance results That we're looking for without having to source a product that straight-up isn't available So this my friends is the monitor desk mount Here we go. Let's get all the pieces out here made by Vivo this is a 2x2 quad monitor mount that can accept up to four 27 inch monitors, and we will be using four of our 27 inch 4k LG displays that are left over from eight gamers one CPU So it's actually this one only I will need a bunch of them Okay, well I've never done one of these before so Consult the manual Oh my god, this is not gonna be easy to assemble I get it now Okay Okay So it is fairly obvious from looking at this That I am going to need to make some more room Kind of like that Actually that's uh That does seem like it's gonna work pretty well Okay Now it's not going to work Okay, ah now it's not going anywhere. Okay. Let's get some more monitors Wow this is actually pretty fast to mount by the look of things I thought basically building the multi-monitor stand is gonna be like half the video I thought why did I take them out again? Oh, I didn't oh, what am I doing? Okay? Why does anyone let me near expensive hardware not sure Oops Oh, okay, not bad at all Okay, where's my test bench GTX 1080 Please We are getting that garbage off of here Okay, this is more like it When it goes in What the hell who bent this oops It's fine just a very expensive graphics card no big deal, okay, are they beauties or are they beasts? Maybe that was the moral of the story all along You can be both beauty and beast If you're a $1,200 graphics card, okay So our quad monitor quad 4k monitor effectively 8k worth of pixels Setup is now complete So the next step is to hook up our test bench Here we go To the monitors and see if she fires up the first time which would be a frickin Christmas miracle because nothing ever works The first time especially when you're working with some kind of bizarro land experimental setup our test bench machine We hope is suitably badass. It's got a core i7 5960 x 8 core extreme edition 128 gigs of dominator platinum Corsair memory and a suz x99 deluxe 2 motherboard a 1600 watt power supply because you know yolo whatever right and Even then I'm still pretty skeptical as to whether it is going to successfully run games at 8k resolution waiting for a computer to post is like Torture, I'm not sure if it's gonna work I don't know if that's a good sign This could just sign in any time now hey hey there we go, okay It keeps kind of bailing on me here Okay, there we go Uh-huh, uh-huh, okay there we go Oh for crying out loud hey there we go No Are we good this time no no we're not how long until it isn't funny anymore Ah ha ha ha still funny, that's good. That's good that it's still funny. Oh That it we good now, thank you Geez wow this is something else We could have a problem here it didn't even occur to me for a second that I can't tile the displays in a 2x2 Oh here we go here we go here we go 2x2 phew Okay, oh I was having like a panic attack There okay? Okay, it's confused It's a little confused. It's still figuring out its confusion. It hurt itself in its confusion Oh, this is terrible Why is this so hard? Why is it saying 1920 by 1080 is my only yeah disable? Yeah, I want to disable it Piece of junk so I think I made a small configuration error. You'll have to forgive me It's been a very long time since I've set up an Nvidia surround setup But it looks like the way it works these days is you don't want to plug All of the displays into the top graphics card and run SLI. It looks like you actually split up Which graphics card? The displays are plugged into so hopefully that is going to fix this for me and I will not continue to have trouble here And that means that I can run all of them on display port in theory. These are hdmi 2.0 compliant both of them But in practice I was not able to run at 4k 60 Hertz on one of my displays so Not sure exactly what any of this means Yet, but stay tuned it is not even letting me click on the Nvidia control and it crashed. Nope. Never mind It's back and it crashed And it's back Okay span with surround oh come on okay configure that looks right wait what no That looks right 7680 by 4320 60 Hertz Come on be oh, I got it wrong. Oh shoot Might be easier to just swap the cables on these ones at this point Come on baby Okay, I think we're good Okay, so this is the Nvidia control panel crashed just trying to create this monster, but there it is 7680 by 4320 And if we pop into our adapter properties boom 60 Hertz This is 8k Yes, this is 8k my friends. Let's just put the whole Nvidia control panel Yellow here is uh gotta put her down there take her behind the barn there you go you're done So this is a first for me Let's fire up a game But can it my friends can it run crisis? Running at 1080p That's 1080 that's 580p That's a joke so this is a common question that people will ask is do games even support 4k? Well games are actually coded to support whatever resolutions the system supports so yes Games support 4k without any additional Modifications required in some cases in the cases of the system support Games support 4k without any additional modifications required in some cases in the cases of poorly coded games No, they they might not support future resolutions, but in theory Crisis is gonna fire up in a moment here At 8k oh oh oh yes. Yes there it is and for some reason Afterburner is showing through but hopefully that will go away We minimize it there it is There it is my friends 8k crisis running at 60 fps in the menu only mind you but Here we go I could get used to this Let's see what kind of performance we can get out of two Titan xps crisis 3 very high And we crushed it Yes, my friends 24 fps fully cinematic In crisis 3 I may need to turn on bezel compensation if i'm going to play for any kind of extended period of time Okay, i'm also gonna adjust some in-game settings here What do you think is that gonna be playable? Hey, hey, whoa Okay, medium system spec we're looking at about 50 fps. I am liking that I'm not oh, oh hold on run the benchmark. Okay. We're running the benchmark benchmarking crisis 3 at 8k medium settings It's great I love this built-in Crosshair into my display here You just aim at the thing you can't see right Oh, that's funny the crosshair is a little to the left. Okay. Well, that'll be that'll be trippy as all hell Wow, this is a gigantic display and wow it looks Perfect. Oh, yeah that bezel. Oh, yeah. Oh delicious having that right in the middle like that. Yeah, just getting my way perfect I mean, i'm not saying this is an ideal game I mean, i'm not saying this is an ideal gaming experience. I'm just I'm saying we're gaming at 8k. That's all so if we had like a multi-cable 8k display today This is how crisis would run on a couple of titan xps Benchmarks done. Okay, let's find out 54 fps average medium settings no anti-aliasing I would make the argument anti-aliasing completely unnecessary Okay, so grand theft auto Sort of a lesser degree of success here it looks like Yeah, gta 5 was super unhappy about our 8k resolution Yep, okay Maybe we'll try some other games I Can read I can read this one too. Yeah, the town folks were something uh monday the 16th rode about 50 miles to brother Wow, yeah brother band county something something circuit weed something is at night I Had some spending Wherever shall call upon the name of the something saved probably the lord. Yeah, you really got to move your head All right. Let's run the benchmark I gotta say this does look like look at the hair This truly is the future of gaming 8k gaming friends So do we not have an 8k monitor? Uh, no one has an 8k monitor. What about that television? Uh, that's not 8k. That's 4k Each we have nothing that's 8k. No one has anything that's 8k. That's not true. Yes. It's a bunch of them at NAB well, yes, but that's not no one those aren't commercial products. You said no one has you're killing me here You said no one okay things very literally. Yes, you do 20.09 frames per second at medium settings in the tomb raider benchmark. That's not great. Well, no But will counter-strike global offensive run Is is ed still here? We should get him to play. Oh my god, but The console looks ridiculous Valves high dpi scaling is terrible like it's so inconsistent I mean The crosshair is the is the butthole in the middle there And I got one Uh the frame rate counter is not that accurate Actually, you know what it seems to be uh, it seems to be settling in a little bit though Yeah, and it's saying 60 or 70, but it doesn't feel like it It was dipping more before and this is interesting So the bottom two are running off one gpu and the top two are running off another gpu and there are slight differences in like the uh the response time So you'll actually see some like a slight jello effect sometimes And that probably could be perceived. Are you trying to snipe with that? Wow, I can't believe that just worked So we ran crisis 3 at medium tomb raider at medium and counter-strike global offensive on high We're getting about yeah, it says like 65 frames per second now that it's settled in a little bit But it really doesn't feel that smooth So, uh, there you have it. Are we ready for 8k? Gaming? Well based on that we don't have the displays that can do it without a gigantic bezel in the middle And based on that we don't have graphics cards that don't cost less than 2400 us dollars running an sli in order to even have a chance of playing games. I would say the answer is no But is this a unique and unreal experience ed? It's making me sick. It's making you sick. It is so cool. He's sick You know what else makes me sick? Phone trees. Yes, my friends when you call a company and you spend 20 minutes actually navigating through to the right person Who ends up not being the right person anyway? And Ting hates them too Which is why when you're on Ting the mobile carrier that puts customer satisfaction first And you pick up a phone and call them you actually talk to a real live person no robots whatsoever They're not available in Canada, unfortunately But I tried it out just for a lull and I'm not gonna lie I tried it out just for a lulls and I was like I knew it was gonna happen and I was still amazed Someone's like hello. This is Ting. What can I do for it? It scared me. You know what else is scary? The fact that Ting does not have Huge bundle packages that they sell to you for like a hundred bucks a month You pay only for what you use and you don't have to try and look into your crystal ball and kind of go Yeah, I might need an extra 500 gigs of data that month. I guess I better buy like a bigger more upgraded package Nope, the average Ting bill is just 23 bucks a month per device and they'll even help you out If you are stuck in a contract covering up to 25 percent up to 75 dollars of your cancellation fee They actually are now lowering mobile data rates across the board too with data now at just ten dollars per gig Beyond the first gig So if all that sounds like kind of cool But you're not sure if you're actually going to save any money. All you got to do is head over to linus.ting.com We've got that linked in the video description to try out their savings calculator When you sign up at our link, you'll also get 25 bucks in service credit or towards a new device So again, that's linus.ting.com So thanks for checking out this video guys if you disliked it hit that dislike button But if you like it hit that like button get subscribed maybe even consider checking out the products we featured today your Titan xp's your test bench your LG 4k 27 inch monitors at our link to amazon in the video description Also linked in the video description is our merch store where you can buy cool shirts like this one as well as our community form Which you should totally join now that you're done doing all that stuff.
