so you think your computer is cool with its hundred and fifty FPS and doom maybe it is but how does it fare when you roll 7,000 wheels of cheese down a hill stress testing with Ida and fer Marcus for chumps compared to exploiting hilarious features of popular game engines you see every once in a while a video comes out of someone doing something silly in a video game that looks rather impressive while completely crippling their computer's performance we've got examples like the classic 3000 barrel explosion in Crysis 1 the previously mentioned thousands of cheese wheels rolling down a hill in Skyrim tons of tnt altering the landscape of the map and minecraft and most recently a huge amount of nuke mines going off and fallout 4 they're fun because of the insane amount of physics events usually cause computers of mere mortals to figuratively melt but we here at Linus tech tips have a literal warehouse of high-end hardware so equipped with a 68 50k a couple of Nvidia $1200 Titan XP graphics cards and a 10 Core Extreme Edition 69 50 X let's see if we can hold these beasts off intel skull Canyon Nook features a 6th generation Core i7 processor and Thunderbolt 3 you can learn more at the link in the video description first things first let's start with test subject number 1 which is what I'm calling our first test bench there's going to be much changes but still it's got a 5820k for its processor which is cooled by a big dual rad and we have a Titan XP along with 32 gigs of ram so it's a ridiculously high in system already and we'll be upgrading it later on moving on down from here we're following the HDMI cable all the way down to the HDMI splitter as you can see we have three cables here because I need to see what's going on and we need to record it so one of these cables comes up to our Aveo 4k epifanio card and that goes into this laptop which will be capturing the footage so we can show that to you guys on the green screen and then if we rotate a little bit I have my own monitor that I can see off to the side so I edited the island map in Crysis 3 to add like 3,500 explosive barrels I think it is right now in fraps I'm getting about 60 to 70 FPS but it does feel a little sluggish you can see all these barrels floating in the air here now if I happen to bump into one of them that would start a cascading physics event similar to how Domino's work but because there's so many of them it's going to cause the computer to have some problem so let's try this I'm just going to bump into the barrel oh and you can see I'm just kind of like sliding around here and physics events are repeating so it's teleporting me back close to the barrels hurting me a little bit moving all the barrels by a chunk and then teleporting me back so running into the barrels is actually worse than blowing them up which is kind of funny so let's blow them up so begin the fraps benchmark and fire the bullet you can see the shell on the right side of the gun actually lags as it's coming out and then as the explosion happens you'll notice that there's a little bit of repetition in style that's because each one of the barrels is blowing up the same way as all the other barrels there's an insane amount of things just flying around the screen right now and you can see them moving in chunks and you can actually notice that the different physics events are being updated at different times because as big luke is pointing at right now the barrel explosions are all happening at a faster rate than the barrel fragments are flying away from them and you can see the water moving at its own rate as well and now that the explosions are all done the fragments from the barrels are starting to move at a much higher rate the overall frame rate of the computer is picking up so we're at about 24 fps right now there is still a lot of stuff flying around again I can move somewhat okay it is very chunky but the swaying movement of my gun on the screen is actually totally fine the only problem is my actual movement across the map and there's still a huge amount of barrel fragments in the air now if we can get over to the pile of where the barrels are yeah here we go you can see that there's just a huge amount of tops and bottoms of barrels this is what I was talking about how it kind of multiplies the amount of things that are in the scene if I bump into them I even shutter and get hurt and we'll probably eventually die and the game's going to lag out a little bit as all the barrels kind of move themselves anyways this was cool move on to the next one for our next experiment we will need Elder Scrolls Skyrim find your favorite hill or mountain side stand up on it save your games you can come back to it more easily because your computer may crash open up your console by pressing one of the buttons in the top left-hand ish corner of your computer also known as tilde and now that we have unlocked the power of the console we will summon our wheels of cheese hahaha you will do this by typing in player dot place at me space zero zero zero six for b-36 just think of it afar as our evil incantation then we will put in the amount that we want to summon in this case 1000 because we haven't summoned any yet so we're not super worried about performance effects we will press enter you will see cheese appear on the screen but not much happen you then need to lower the console by pressing the tilde button and then all of the cheese but that is not enough we have not seen a major performance impact on the fraps number in the lower corner so we must summon more press the tilde key again press the up arrow key to bring back our previous incantation press the Enter button again because we want a thousand more wheels of cheese press the tilde button for it to go away and more more Jesus summoned let's move up to 6000 this is usually where I start having problems six thousand six thousand five hundred is a pretty bad time in terms of how the computer's gonna be able to manage things you can see some of the last bits of cheese that are coming from my most recent incantation are still trickling down the hill because everything's just going so slowly at this point so we're now sitting about four or five FPS time to be relentless Oh nope nope nope we have apparently been relentless enough the computer is done there will be no more cheese summoning today sir so next up we have fallout 4 where we're going to throw down while the original plan was 5000 nuke mines okay so one thing I'm going to do right now is just save the game new save file and then load it just to kind of make sure that everything's good cuz I do need to run this test twice okay oh dear that doesn't look good at all I'm pretty sure every time I load the save files oh okay yeah I don't know what it's doing now hopefully it's going to work apparently every time that I load the save game with my 500 mine's laid down it explodes so we're going to pretend that I wasn't going to do this benchmark and we're going to move on to minecraft our plan here is to suddenly and drastically change a part of the map we're going to do that with 1000 blocks of TNT in a 10 by 10 by 10 column going straight down into the earth man this is actually surprisingly easy with creative mode I've never really played creative mode much and just as a note you will need Flint what oh okay I screwed up put the Flint again right click there we go then I'm going to go God fly away please we're going to watch it explode oh my freaking goodness that didn't hurt the computer that much we only went down to about 16 FPS minimum and you can see just how cool that was we created this like massive well okay we opened up a massive cave system that was already here and we made this like huge waterfall which was absolutely just a river before now the river leads to this giant waterfall that goes into the cave system that looks super cool and the computer actually dealt with it pretty well okay so I had all of that prepared ahead of time but what I don't know is if upgrading the hardware from here by adding another two CPU cores and another video card will let us push further so let's swap hardware to a 69 50 X and add in another Titan XP and try all those tests again rapid fire we're going to drop in here hit it with some flint go back up oh geez there we go and watch as it goes down oh all the way down to three FPS and it completely destroyed everything actually oh yeah it took a sec there to load the map I don't think I would say that that performed any better than the previous one to the point where I might actually say performed worse 1000 wheels of cheese fly down the mountain ah ah ah mm wheels of cheese fly down the mountain uh 6000 wheels of cheese and we're now dropping down to about 6 FPS we're getting a little bit lower than before so test subject number 2 just aired out at about 7,000 wheels of cheese that is worse than test subject number one but I don't know how much stock I would take in that as test subject number one usually was airing out at about 6500 wheels of cheese okay so this is the only one that we're actually running fraps for and it begins you can see the shell lagging just as before alright so that was actually a pretty huge improvement we went from six point four to eight point five for two fps that's pretty significant when you're at that low of a number so if you're use for your computer is constantly staring at three and a half thousand barrels exploding in crisis one I would definitely recommend to tighten X's and a 69 50 X but if not you probably don't have to go that hard core in terms of hardware I know this was a ridiculously silly video but I had fun I hope you did as well if you liked it like it and get subscribed and all that kind of stuff and if you're like this video is useless and adds nothing to the overall conversation and you should be more intellectual about your videos and this was terrible you can hit the dislike button that would be fine check out Amazon in the description down below if this somehow inspired you to buy something also check out the link in the description down below to find a shirt we have some cool lines Beauty groupie shirts that you can pick up watch this video which is our review announcement video thing on the 69 50 X where we discuss how ridiculously expensive it is because holy crap
