7 Gamers 1 CPU is back! But does it ACTUALLY work!?

2016-01-31
the seven gamers one CPU system is back from CES 2016 where Kingston the proud sponsors the original video which you can check out here had it on display at their booth and of course I have wasted no time creating the linus Media Group land center where the seven gamers one CPU machine will be powering seven high powered gaming stations for the pleasure of the employees here at Linus Media Group so let's see if anyone wants to play some games shall we whether you run a small business or a billion dollar enterprise Rackspace has your dedicated storage environments covered start a conversation with them at the link in the video description hey it's Johnny the network guy come on in play some video games let's do it all right John you don't Crysis 3 C what do it who wants to play video games I didn't ask you Tarun but okay sure uh it's okay honey you don't have to Oh Oh Luke do you have time to play video games oh wow um okay Vaughn you're in Wow yep you're in let's go take hold got time to play some games yeah you're fired cuz you should be busy but actually no we're gonna go play games now okay come on what are you guys waiting for let's go I'll show you to your stations this is our new and improved boardroom no one will ever be bored in here again okay so guys I do not jump down the hole yet please so this is it this is officially the first time the seven gamers one CPU rig has actually had seven gamers sitting at it and I think the most notable thing about it probably is the fact that you guys are each looking at an FPS number in the top corner something in the neighborhood of 80 to 90 frames per second so some quick napkin math would tell us that that is somewhere between 600 to 700 frames per second running at medium settings high details in Crysis 3 at 34 40 by 1440 resolution it is actually working but of course staring at a wall is not the ultimate benchmark so I'd like you guys to all gather around I'm going to show you how we benchmark Crysis 3 at - tech tips and we are all going to try and do the benchmark together yes that's why I told you not to fall down the hole Tarin yes I will help you in fact let's go do it on Teheran station since he has to go back to the starting point anything yes its crisis you're wearing up Oh for crying out loud Bolton oh no no it doesn't okay everyone come watch the benchmark run okay don't stare into the hole just look at it then you're going to press the apostrophe key boom that'll start the benchmark and your FPS numbers will go away drop do not jump down the hole if you jump down the hole you will die this is unique stuff nope nope because you will need bullets for when there are actual enemies Terran that is how games work then you hold shift to leap across and then you just kind of stand here and like shoot of stuff and it's done everyone got that everyone ready to execute it perfectly on the first try easy peasy alright okay ready and three two one benchmark so left at the first fork there can you go right I don't see before this one I hit it and I did that needs you okay open up file explorer' we need file explorer me explorers own amusement I mean file explorer go to the C Drive then perhaps are you benchmarks then open up the Crysis 3 min max average ha rekt competition John you should see your GPU core clock what was it running at while we were gaming a gigahertz thousand a thousand one thousand gigahertz put those in and it's still running it a thousand thousand megahertz so zero throttling and what's your GPU temperature while we were running the game forty seven forty four what are you five - forty five very nice so our water cooling is holding up just fine with everyone in the mid to high 40 degrees on the video card very very cool so now let's fire the game back up and you guys can just kind of mess around in game and we're gonna have a look at what our power consumption is like running seven legitimate high-end games versus just some synthetic benchmarks like we did last time oh what a dick it's not a multiplayer game can you guys be slightly more on earth so power consumption is anywhere from around 1400 watts from the wall to up to 1600 watts from the wall pretty bananas a nenets so this is interesting with every VM running we're hitting every CPU core pretty much it looks like our CPU clock speed settles in around three gigahertz which is actually still a fairly significant turbo up from the 2.6 gigahertz base clock more interesting facts another really cool thing if you want to pop over to your graphics card tab here is that when we originally ran this we were having some GPUs show up as very low link speeds even Gen 1.1 speeds this time around every single one is PCIe gen3 8 X which is definitely more than enough we actually reseated the graphics cards and got some better stability that way well how else does anybody at whoa I've got 200 frames per second everyone else has steam accounts that's why I said guys log in to your steam right here right kugo sniper when it's like three on three Wow can I jump in and point out that at about 200 to 250 FPS each we are literally pushing over 1,400 frames per second and Team Fortress 2 right now Oh - you're right - you know I know you guys know Oh somebody hit me with an ass okay actually it was a sword but I mean you're dead so it doesn't really make much of a difference at that point in time can it turned out to be tearing I got killed by sarin you're on fire someone's on fire come on bring your lies yeah whatever you're you're you're dead you're dead done already right you're done already I didn't want my damage I don't even care I don't even have to be lay down no no I tried to hold them I'm sorry guys what's going on so there you have it we have officially laid to rest the most common criticisms of the seven gamers one cpu video first of all that we didn't actually show seven gamers gaming on it which has now been officially done and second that we called it seven gamers one CPU which actually I'm going to continue to do in spite of the fact that there are indeed two CPUs in the system so that was pretty fun guys a huge shout out again to Kingston on raid Intel a sous AMD EK water blocks case labs oh sure primo chill provided some tubing hope I don't miss anyone Acer for providing all these monitors for making seven gamers one CPU possible in the first place and thank you to tunnel bear for sponsoring this episode of Linus tech tips if you guys are looking for a way to browse the web as though you are browsing from a different country and anonymize yourself online tunnel bear is the easy way to do it they've got applications for Windows OS 10 Android iOS they've even got a Chrome extension and they take all the tomfoolery out of the entire VPN experience making it as simple as just going yeah yeah a little Bears I want you to tunnel through the USA this time so I can access all those cool US websites and services that I would otherwise be geo blocked from so all you got to do to get started is check out the tunnel bear link in the video description and the best thing about it is that the first 500 Meg's a month is three after that for just a few bucks a month you can check out an unlimited plan also available at the link in the video description if you're having any trouble there friendly support Bears will be happy to help you so again Tunnel bear check it out so thanks for watching guys if you disliked this video I think you know what to do but if you liked it hit that like button get subscribed to Linus tech tips or even consider supporting us you can buy a cool shirt like this one at the link in the video description you can check out our community forum at the link in the video description or you can just shop on Amazon and use our affiliate code which helps us out a fair bit by following the instructions in the video at the top right of your player if you're done doing all those things and you're wondering what to watch next don't miss what's a video we've done recently help don't miss Luke's video where he outlines the oculus rift versus the HTC vive and runs through the benefits and drawbacks of each in relation to each other it's a pretty darn good one also up there them too I see you guys next time okay so you guys are welcome to get back to work anytime now I think very strong die all right
