GRID Running on a Projector with GTX 480 4-way SLI Linus Tech Tips

2010-05-30
so the point of this video is just to quickly demonstrate the power consumption of the four-way SLI six core machine while running a typical game so I have race driver grid running at 1280 by 800 on my projector here and this is actually I mentioned this in another video I'm not sure if I ever upload it or not though but this is my first time gaming on a projector and so I've got my G 25 wheels set up here and it's actually pretty cool I don't know how many inches this screen is but it's a lot just projecting onto a white wall it's actually kind of this projector is just a demo unit that I get to have a look out for a couple days but I think it's pretty much got me convinced to all that kind of build it's got me pretty much convinced that I need to go out and buy a projector now so anyway I'll get the camera man or to go have a look at D the energy meter that I have sitting on the wall uncraft so I'm gonna get up in turn on the light in the room here so that you can actually read it so anyway there that gives you some idea this is not a worst-case scenario this is running a fairly non demanding game great isn't sort of the worst that you'll see but what I saw before was typically in the sort of 1000 watt range so something to bear in mind is that leads the system's probably pulling about 850 watts during a typical gaming load so I'm gonna actually update this with some synthetic benchmarks which should give us a more realistic absolute maximum power consumption but what this does tell us is that the 1500 watt power supply is more than comfortable with the load that this system can put out
