oh man what's up guys it's been a long week at CES and we're back in the office and we're here for the final installment of our pc build video the last time you saw us we showed you how it was actually building it and now I want to talk to you guys a little bit about what performance has been like and what we've been doing on the software side so we're running Windows 10 and got a number of things going on here obviously we've got a few proprietary things for some of the stuff that we've got plugged in we ran through all of what's inside the PC already so if you guys want to see what's inside the PC you can head over there running from mere of course that's what I switch to premier fairly recently and I've been quite enjoying it and what we decided to do was just do a quick few rough tests not comprehensive not super scientific but just wanted to give you guys an idea of what this is doing for us in terms of our workflow so we tested on a few computers just on the computers basically that we wind up using the most here in the office for actual exports my iMac which is running an nvidia card and has cuda cores installed takes about 7 minutes 51 seconds to export this very same razor video from CES oh you can click up here and actually watch this video it's a good video and ron's imac takes about six minutes 25 seconds this computer the rig we've just been calling it the rig takes same same video same clip it's about a two minute long video takes four minutes 2 seconds on this rig now if you turn on previews which means essentially rendering out the video is going to actually make a difference if you turn on previews it'll generate the previews and then you go to export obviously those are two separate things and if that's going to take time in and of itself as well because when you get an export it's going to generate the previews but if you do do the previous verse that gets the export time down to two minutes five seconds so if you're in the habit of doing a full render to do a watch through before you export that you're going to be pretty happy with this because it's essentially exporting it one to one that's exactly what we wanted out of this machine we haven't done any testing in terms of gaming just yet so seeing what we can run in terms of frames per second but this thing has just been screaming I realize also that's not that big of a differential between this machine and the other machines but the other thing that is really worth noting is that playback on this has always since they won been crazy crazy smooth it has no problem just crunching through 4k video and the rest of the computers in the office just cannot handle that and it becomes enormously frustrating to to have to work with a computer in that can't even show you what you're working on all right as you guys may or may not be aware I'm not crazy about benchmarks but I did run a couple here for you so you guys can take a look and see for yourself the performance that we're getting from each of these components the overall score is pretty low because it did also test you know some of the other stuff an older hard drive that we have for storage and our card reader stuff like that but you can see each of the components individually did test quite favorably except for our ram the ram i think needs to be upgraded sooner rather than later then we also did go ahead and run a cinebench test as well so you can see performance on opengl and the cpu performance all very good exactly what we expected out of the box i'm very very happy with that the only thing that we're behind is on is the cpu on this one and there's just two or three better cpus on the market so i'm very happy with the performance overall alright let's check out those sweet razor for referrals this right here is the razer diamondback mouse this thing is super cool it's really lightweight but this thing is ambidextrous that super nice we have a few people in the office who have hands more than one hand so that way you can use it to handedly I'm just kidding that's not what that means underneath that Mouse is the razor Firefly and this is a hard mouse pad and it's connected to USB why you ask well it lights up along the bottom I realize that seems a little superfluous but I think it's super dope right now I have it set to reactive so when you click it lights up pretty darn cool last but certainly not least is the Black Widow chroma and that is the keyboard that razor sent us it's incredibly comfortable it's a mechanical keyboard if you've never used a mechanical keyboard before try it out it might be for you might not it's not for everyone but it's a very very comfortable way to type especially when you're typing along articles or typing scripts or whatever on also excellent for gaming purposes they have the razor has their own switch mechanism the fees and all their keyboards guaranteed for like a really high high life span this is not sponsored by razor they were just kind enough to send us some stuff to use for the rig obviously origin as well big thanks to origin thank you guys so much for sending us this case i love this case every day if you guys want to see a little bit more about the pc if you guys have questions please do let me know i'd be happy to answer them for you and on that note i just want to take a second really quick to answer some of the questions that you guys have had on some of the comments pertaining to these videos i can't believe you haven't got a fan on the radiator make sure you check that your temps aren't too high like we mentioned in the last video we were actually missing a few screws because origin doesn't make these cases for sale so they had to just send us some components so we didn't have the screw that we needed to mount the fan to the radiator and then to mount that set up to the actual case so the radiator as it says right now is still up here we still just need to give another Fanta haven't gotten around to emailing origin maybe you guys see this video maybe you guys could just send us the screws please dude you don't need that fan on the RAM unless you have a crack in it I know we don't need the fan on the RAM it just looks cool that okay with you guys Thanks yeah serious video producers choose a video Bertha doesn't even have 10 bit color that doesn't really matter for us we don't shoot intended color so as nice as it would be to have it definitely seems like overkill for us we shoot in 4k so that we can crop in I know that I get that question a lot so I feel like it's worth answering often and yeah we know that most most graphics cards have fans on them we're just trying to be funny and entertaining for you guys so take a breather anyway thank you guys so much for watching it has been a blast building this thing together with you guys and saying what you guys think and and what what your feedback has been positive or negative is there something else that you'd like to see us build another another thing another like kind of a nerd rite of passage that we've yet to attempt that we could do for you on camera let us know in the comments I would be only too happy to do that for you and with you guys so thank you guys so much for watching be kind of one another and i'll catch you in the next video Oh
