to game at 8k resolution one gtx titan to gtx titan an entire arm load of gtx titan errs on this the 12th installment of holy shit we're gonna find out if i drop all these Titans who know i won't cooller masters master case maker five features they're 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 tight nexus they're like gross and ancient and like I mean look at it this is an original Titan ya know the answer is going to be nvidia x' latest flagship titan x peas 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 going to be two of the latest Titan XPS along with one of their fancy new high bandwidth bridges which looks a little something like that is how you install it right like that it's a Nikki V SLI bridge installation chip 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 going to 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 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 2 by 2 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 game one CPU so it's actually this one only I will need a bunch of them ok well I've never done one of these before so consult the manual okay oh my god this is not going to be easy to assemble I get it now ok ok 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 ok ah now it's not going anywhere ok let's get some more monitors wow this is actually pretty fast to mount my - look at this I thought basically building the multi monitor standing is going to be like half the video more time to actually use it than but why did I take them out again I didn't Oh what am i doing okay app doesn't even let me near expensive hardware not sure look Oh kick not bad at all okay where's my test bench GTX 1080 which please we are getting that garbage off of here okay this is more like it um when it goes in what the hell who bent this oops it's fine just 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 your $1200 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 testbench here we go to the monitors and see if she fires up the first time which would be a freaking Christmas miracle because nothing ever works the first time especially when you're working with some kind of bizarro land experimental setup our testbench machine we hope is suitably badass it's got a core i7 59 60 X 8 Core Extreme Edition 128 gigs of Dominator platinum Corsair memory and a soos 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 going to work oh I don't know if that's a good sign this could just sign in any time now hey there we go okay keeps kind of bailing on me here okay there we go uh-huh uh-huh okay there we go oh so crying a lot hey there we go no are we get this time no no or not how long until it isn't funny anymore ah that's still funny that's good it's good that it's still funny Oh got 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 two by two oh here we go here we go here we go two by two sure okay 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 yet disabled 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 them on DisplayPort 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 nevermind it's back and it crashed and it's back okay it's bad with Surround oh come on okay configure that looks right wait what no that looks right 76 80 by 4320 60 Hertz come on boa 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 the Nvidia control panel crashed just trying to create this monster but there it is 76 80 by 43 20 and if we pop into our adapter properties boom 60 Hertz this is 8k yes this is 8k my friends let's just put that old Nvidia control panel Yeller here is uh got to 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 full HD that's a joke so this is a common question that people will ask is do games even support 4k well games are actually coated to support whatever resolutions the system supports so yes games support 4k without any additional modifications required in some cases in the cases of poorly coded games no they might not support future resolutions but in theory crisis is going to fire up in a moment here at 8k oh oh yes yes there it is and for some reason afterburner is showing through but hopefully that will go away when 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 ah I could get used to this let's see what kind of performance we can get out of to Titan XPS Crysis 3 very high and do we crushed it yes my friends 24 fps fully cinematic in Crysis 3 I may need to turn on bezel compensation if I'm going to play for any kind of extended period of time ok I'm also gonna adjust some in-game settings here what do you think is that gonna be playable Hey whoa ok medium systems back we're looking at about 50 fps I am liking that I'm not Oh hold on from the benchmark okay we're running the benchmark benchmarking Crysis 3 at a K medium settings it's great I love this built-in crosshair into my display here you just aim it the thing you can't see right oh that's funny crosshairs a little to the left ok 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 get in my way perfect 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 ok let's find out 54 FPS average medium settings no anti-aliasing I would make the argument aunty a listen completely unnecessary ok 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 people try some other games I can read it I can read this one - yeah the town folks were something on Monday the 16th Road about 50 miles - brother Wow yeah brother BAM 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 no one has an 8k monitor what about that television now that's not 8k that's 4k each I have nothing that's 8k no one has anything that's 18 that's not true yes it's a whole bunch of them at NAB well yes but that's you see I know one those aren't commercial products you said no one is killing me here you said no one okay very literal yes you do 20 point oh nine frames per second at medium settings in the Tomb Raider benchmark that's not great well no but we'll Counter Strike global Offensive run is is Ed still here we should get him to play oh my god but the console looks ridiculous really Valve's high DPI scaling is terrible like it's so inconsistent I'm using the crosshairs the what is the butt hole in the middle air I got what the frame rate is not that accurate actually you know what it seems to be it seems to be settling in a little bit though yet I did sing 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 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 Crysis 3 at medium tomb raider at medium and Counter Strike global Offensive on high we're getting a boat yeah it says like 65 frames per second now that it's settled in a little bit but it really doesn't feel that soon so there you have it are we ready for a K 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 24 hundred 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 edie 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 lols and I was like I knew it was going to happen and I was still amazed someone's like hello this is ting what can I do for a blob 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'd 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% up to $75 of your cancellation fee they actually are now lowering mobile data rates across the board too with data now at just $10 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 King comm 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 ENCOM so thanks for checking out this video guys if you
