Gaming on the ULTIMATE 10K ULTRAWIDE Display!

you might say our 16k gaming project was a massive success well you might say that if you measure success purely by how many views something gets on youtube because the usability of that thing left a lot to be desired we know so ever since we first unveiled it we've been waiting for the right moment and perhaps more importantly the right hardware to bring it back to life better than ever with hopefully a decent actual gaming experience this time and that day thank you jake has arrived lg sponsored this video and sent over nine of their flagship curved ultra wide monitors so all we need to do now then is uh go see how the old setup has survived its long slumber here in the storage unit holy crap this thing is uh scenes of better days eh this is a freaking mess i mean the good news is most of the wiring is still in place but like even the underside is that dirty all right so let's get this uh let's get this cleaned up for redeployment here [Music] as many many of you pointed out the 4x4 arrangement of monitors in 16k gaming made the majority of games pretty much impossible to play because any kind of crosshair ended up being hidden behind the bezels right in the middle of our display array and the abominable frame rates didn't help either i mean even though we were running four quadro p5000s one for each of our four rows of monitors last time and those are about equivalent to gtx 1080s but with 16 gigs of video memory almost every game ran into some sort of processing or memory bottleneck it was just it was just too many pixels csgo wouldn't even run fortunately though a couple of months ago nvidia's quadro team launched the gv100 a 9 000 beast of a workstation gpu and they graciously lent us a few of them so now we're cooking with gas baby these puppies have about 2.93 times the transistor count so they are much more powerful and they each come with 32 gigs of high-speed hbm2 memory okay so first things first we need a system thank you that is worthy of those graphics cards so i wanted to use the 7900x but the last one we had didn't survive a d-lid so we're using a 7960x instead poor us first world problem i guess so the clock speeds are a little bit lower on this one but let's be realistic here i mean even in this new configuration every card is still running the pixel count equivalent of a 5k display so the bottleneck is still going to be the gpus and not the cpu for our motherboard asus sent over their rampage six extreme which is going to be paired with naturally 128 gigs of vengeance rgb ddr4 memory wow this receipt is uh is getting a few more zeros on it here then i had really hoped good thing of course serenacious graciously provided these things and then for power the obvious choice was corsair's ax 1600i with some sexy cablemod pro style cables to match our icy table now cooling is actually surprisingly not a huge concern since our desk pc case is quite open for the gpus and we're not going to be overclocking our cpu so we're going to be using an nhd15 now then it's time for the monitors as i mentioned earlier the gaming downside of even-numbered monitor grids easily outweighs any advantage so a 3x3 grid looked like our best option because 5x5 was just not going to be a thing but rather than simply do a 12k setup which was our original plan to make the rig somewhat playable we opted to try something new so these are lg's 34 uc 99w these are 3440 by 1440 curved ips ultra wides they've got usb type-c input and freesync and this is cool they run it up to 75 hertz so any less demanding games we might be able to get even more than 60 fps the aesthetic here actually helps our cause a lot too check this out even the bottom bezel is not much bigger than the sides in the top now this is less of an issue in a standard desktop configuration but when you start stacking them it makes a huge difference quite literally huge and holy sh that curve hey there we go i don't know why this one's all weird okay your scaling is a little uh little wonktastic there got that big start button and that small start why do they all have a start menu uh mosaic is not up yet so we need to configure mosaic okay make it one big display oh we can play some games this is beautiful i just love standing right here like the sound of my voice echoes back at me and video why you do okay there we go there we go and then the last piece of puzzle bezel correct bezel correction cool okay so here what we're doing is we're trying to align the road here that's not bad actually no it's not even close you need like 100 pixels what do you mean not even close no that's off you're too far no stop stop stop stop you can't look at just one of them no it's not look at them you can look at whichever angle it's a little bit too far on that one but it's not far enough on a couple of i see which means you can do it per month because the monitors aren't aligned perfectly yeah like so basically because jake done goofed aren't you just so hyped to play games yeah too bad nvidia says no games these are cool drones these are not for gaming professionals have patience you're kidding the professionals getting paid to set this up are getting paid by the hour anyway what do they care wow i get to really drive jake pull me uh we broke another tech accessory out of the uh moth balls upstairs this is our obato revolution cockpit with a logitech g920 racing wheel that is going through its uh pre-flight calibration here and we've got a shifter because jake assumes that i know how to drive manual don't you which i do yes yeah right no the lambo's manual okay so i stalled do you not know how to drive i know how to drive manual how do you research how do i restart the car whoa he's doing it oh oh no my shifter moved you got a downshift don't go downshift [Music] super duper smooth it's fine that's okay i'm pretty good at overwatch i've never played overwatch okay it's basically team fortress 2 though right okay like it's a little different oh yeah oh yeah there's like 30 heroes oh yeah everybody they all have unique things whereas oh look at that you've got an endorsement for being a good teammate they dropped right but i have to be in the emoji shoot your left shift at the at the door there my what left shift see they're going to come and kill you right oh man you're going to die that was nuts oh my god so worth wow oh come on click your e damn it yes minus is good at overwatch who knew does anyone know how to tell if someone's on my team nobody's on your team remember we talked about this oh so this is like this is like complete free-for-all yeah oh like you're gonna get you're gonna get destroyed like oh okay so i just need to hide right here forever okay well that's not interesting like okay that's sort of left i guess jackass all the way left all right whatever this doesn't run that well so let's try something else look at that this is 75 so they're i want to try 100 hertz but i think that's out of it gorgeous all right okay do we have anything else to try can it run crisis law okay what graphic settings are we at whoa that low that system spec low that texture low we're not even trying to like run it well then hey no all right we're at 48 fps and we haven't even actually rendered anything other than a black screen with some green text on it yet in this game this game is very optimized okay oh so it's just the other character models that get completely like your gun is strong your hand is like high quality i don't know oh wow wait what just happened there how did i not fall down you just like searched it those guys oh forget it where are you going oh my goodness isn't this where i'm supposed to go oh oh oh oh oh and we're done okay as much as we love using enterprise grade hardware for unconventional things like gaming nvidia did ask us very nicely to talk about what these cards are actually made for so uh have you ever seen the multi-hundred-foot video walls in places like times square or in tokyo or while watching your favorite sports teams live well they're usually made up of many smaller displays like our setup here and even though they're intended to be viewed from far away so their pixel density is comparatively low like all these look great from even just a couple feet away their overall resolution can get very high along with their demand for video memory and processing power and of course the images all need to be synchronized even if you're just playing back video so the sync card would come in handy there and for a more apples to apples look at the processing power improvements because gaming at different resolutions it doesn't really mean anything we tried out chronos's v-ray ray tracing benchmark and found that it actually runs in half the time compared to our last setup and bear in mind guys we are running one fewer actual graphics card in this setup so that's pretty much it now we just got to pack this thing up and take it to ltx oh yeah so huge huge thank you to lg for making this project happen if you guys like what you saw from these monitors you can pick one up or nine at the link in the video description or if you want even more pixels stay tuned because lg is launching their new 5k ultrawide nano ips display soon so you can check out the link to that or just google lg ultrawide for more information on their latest ultra wide displays thanks for watching guys if you disliked then you clearly hate technology but if you like hit like get subscribed or maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link below also down there is our merch store which has cool shirts like this one and our community forum which you should definitely join how's it going there uh not great we're running bastion we just can't they just can't oh did i get more kills than you oh yeah yeah look my team one elim is gold that shows you how long my team is playing right now
