I JUST WANT TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES (testing a $900 gaming/streaming PC)

2018-05-17
yes of course I would like to start this live event the good old all right cool beautiful it looks like it looks like according to this I am live hey oh cool there I am alright beautiful I love when things actually function so hey everyone and welcome to Paul's hardware today's video is a little bit different than a normal video for one thing the video quality that you're watching right now might not be the best and that's because this entire video is being hosted and controlled by my $900 gaming and streaming builds that I set up actually been kind of working on this build since the beginning of this year I originally put it together as a $500 PC and then I upgraded it just a month or two ago and now I'm actually using it to do gaming and streaming at the same time so this is kind of my different take on a test a follow-up test video for this build is to just actually livestream to my youtube channel playing games on the system my plan is to go for about an hour today and to try out four different games and to show you guys the performance of the games as I play them and I this is the first time I've done this so I have to double-check and make sure everything is going alright hey hey YouTube chat how's it going I'm hearing that I'm a bit quiet I don't know that there's much I can do about that my mic is turned up all the way excuse me my mic has turned up all the way here well it's at 98 now it's at 100 I don't want to do the boost because the busca tends to add some distortion so cool yeah I'm not going to fix the screen ratio let me continue my explanation here so you guys know exactly what's going on the system I put together is a $900 PC and there are the specs for it so you guys can take a look now I'll admit to you guys up front here this PC aspect out right here is a little bit heavy on the cpu side a little bit light on the GPU side the reason is because when I put it together well graphics cards are very expensive graphics cards are still very expensive but I do want to point out that if you're looking at this system and you're considering about a $900 PC if you're if you've got a couple hundred more dollars if you if you can spend $400 on a graphics card rather than $200 you can easily swap out this gtx 10:50 TI for a gtx 1070 right now and at least if you go to Best Buy you can buy founders Edition 10 seventies for $400 at least right now hopefully 10 70s will continue to be reasonably priced and will will continue to have a reasonable way of getting more graphics processing into our systems for now though the system is admittedly a little bit weak on the GPU side but since I'm only using it to play at 1080 it should be just fine and since I've got the more powerful CPU with the 2600 X which is a 6 core 12 thread as well as some decent memory in there and I've also upgraded to 16 gigs now from the 8 gig kick kit that I had in the $500 version of this build and also now since there's a 1050 Ti a discrete graphics card we're not giving up some of our system memory in order to power the graphics cards so that's one of the nice upgrades and differences as well so need to not lose track of what the heck I'm talking about I am planning and doing a follow up video that's going to be a more edited concise video going over this performance referencing this stream as well and everything but for now I wanted to show you guys that for nine hundred bucks you can build this system I'm using a few extra pieces of equipments here in order to game and stream on the system at the same time so of course you're going to need a decent internet connection with a decent uplink speed depending on the settings that you're using right now I'm streaming at 1920 by 1080 and I'm doing 60 frames per second and because I'm just showing you the webcam right now it probably doesn't look all that sharp but there it is 59.94 and I'm about 7500 kilobits per second when it comes to my encoding settings I can possibly show you my Obi set up here let me just clean up my desk top slightly first okay so oops wrong one alright so here's a look at the desktop and we've got the picture in picture because I'm using OBS to stream OBS so we can see everything going on there but I thought I'd at least really quickly pull up my settings so I can show you guys that's for the stream oh sorry for the outputs 1920 by 1080 oh you know what this adjusted this just changed itself this is supposed to be 7500 glad i double-checked this to confirm for you guys I hope it can update that on the fly hey it did cool all right maybe the stream looks cleaner now because I just I just improve the bitrate let's go back to settings here that again so x264 means that it's using the CPU to encode and that's part of the reason why going with a more powerful CPU like 2600 X 6 cores and 12 threads does a better job at something like this gaming and streaming at the same time as opposed to something like say 7700 K 7600 K those quad cores even the quad cores with hyper-threading from intel and this has been demonstrated by gamers Nexus and a few other people who have tested it out they're just not as good at game gaming and streaming at the same time so that's part of the reason why I felt like for this system in particular it's a good use case scenario to try both gaming and streaming let's go back to this alright now apart from the hardware that you see listed here I have a few other components that I have added to this setup just so I can actually do this all at the same time speaking of which I haven't even plug this one in I'm going to play some GTA 5 which means I have a controller this is just an Xbox controller Xbox 360 hold on plugging in bingo alright so that's good and then what I'm actually showing you is the webcam so I'm using a Logitech c920 there's different updated upgraded solutions for streaming video at the same time a webcam is a good way to start because they're generally plug-and-play they're not too difficult to control I will point out that if you're using the logitech webcam you probably do want to possibly grab their software for it which you can kind of see right here this will allow you to for instance go in there and manually control like turning off autofocus so you don't get that breathing going the whole time and then you can also go in here and adjust the gain brightness and everything set it to a standard settings so while you are streaming you don't get stuff moving around and at least try to give yourself the best possible situation you can with the webcam beyond that I just have a mouse and keyboard that I've added to the setup I'm using a master keys light l-little mouse which is actually very tiny and inexpensive mouse coolermaster sent over I like this mouse because it's super basic you got all the buttons you need standard forward and back gotta have forward and back it's got decent tracking with the optical sensor and it's even got like RGB lighting on it so so there we go so that's pretty much all you need for this setup for what you for what I'm doing right now and then of course the software OBS and then you can get yourself going with a streaming career and yeah that's pretty much it drivers listed on here in video 3 97.6 4 and then finally to show you guys what's going on with the system itself as I'm playing I also have rivatuner as well as MSI Afterburner going so oh gosh the one thing that is a challenge for me right now is I'm also doing this all on a single 1920 by 1080 monitor which does make it slightly more confusing depending on what I'm doing alright let's get that out of the way so I can show you guys this actually let's move this to for really quickly all right so task manager over here we can see what's going on with the CPU I like to keep this up and running especially when I'm testing a system for the first time we can see all of our cores and threads right click on the graph if you want to change from overall to logical by the way and here we can see if like is the CPU getting bogged down that kind of thing we can also see the memory that's currently being used so pull that up right there and you can check it out I can also check your Ethernet and and all that good stuff not too worried about that but over on the right side here I've got hardware info 64 this is giving us some more detailed information about the system so for instance we can see all of our core speeds over here it's gonna ramp up when it's we're using a single one or two cores at the same time and it'll actually get the CPU stock I'm just using the stock CPU cooler too right now up to 4.1 or 4.1 5 gigahertz which is pretty nice overall when we're running it's gonna be running more about 3.9 to 4 gigahertz when it's using all cores at the same time down here we can also get a look at like the voltage that's going it'll peak pretty high like one point four one point four seven but you also notice most of the time it's in a more nominal range of 1.3 to 1.4 and then finally here we can also keep track of important stuff like our CPU temperature we can scroll down over here and we can take a look at some of the details about our graphics cards such as the graphics card temperature clock speed and all that good stuff now I have been doing too long of an intro now so give me just a minute here and I will switch back over let's do that first right now I just realized I can't I can't adjust things at the same time that I'm doing that so there we go alright I need to load up a game though which is we're gonna start out with Grand Theft Auto and my mo here is to play for about 15 minutes per game and to play the same games that I played on this system when I tested it and it's $500 orientation I'm also going to be showing you guys as I play on screen statistics and top left-hand corner of the screen so you can sort of follow along and monitor what's going on and the performance all that stuff pretty much is being pulled by rivatuner the software from from hardware info 64 and then there's there's a control panel you can go in there to adjust things and make it look pretty and slightly more legible so GTA 5 is loading up right now I'm just gonna play single-player mostly gonna be doing single-player here except we're multi I guess GTA 5 I'm going to be doing the single-player pub G fortnight and overwatch will be multiplayer alright let's try to figure out why my why this is so laggy here and can you guys see anything that's on screen right now maybe not hold on oh wait yes you can see that's my problem with them my problem with this being delayed a little bit hold on I need to check one more thing guys bear with me some reason there's a bunch of nvidia oh alright thank you how's it go chat this is an AMD console it's kind of it I mean it's a it's an AMD based system all right let's start off by taking a look at my settings we're at full screen 1920 by 1080 60 Hertz is our first rate for the monitor set so grain before fxaa is on oh all this stuff is way too high I forgot to turn all this down hold on I'm gonna try to switch back to the same settings I was using for that original test system which was pretty much no wait I wrote it down over here so I could double-check FXAA on sliders at minimum and pretty much normal settings for everything else okay normal this is probably gonna make me we're gonna make it restart once I switch this okay okay yes it's making me restart it means I get to regale you guys with stories again or something like that well well GTA 5 restarts GTA 5 takes way too long to restart it's been a constant issue for me if you're running lots of benchmark so for some reason when you run the GTA 5 benchmark little awkward for me but anyway thanks you guys for watching wow we got like twelve twelve hundred and almost thirteen hundred people going on right now so thank you guys so much I also want to point out the reason I decided to stream this directly to my youtube channel as well is because we didn't do the live stream this week that's usually goes on Tuesday and it's usually a little bit looser and longer and a live stream so I wanted to follow that up with with an actual live stream replacement okay beautiful we've got a restart here let's go back to the game and let's actually try some stuff out I'll also try to point out to you guys these settings that you're gonna see in the top corner and what how to interpret them I guess is what I'm trying to say yeah also if you guys are watching this on youtube all the all the products at least the hardware that I'm streaming on is listed in the video description so there's links down there to Amazon and stuff too oh yeah that's much smoother alright so if you're taking a look at what's going on here and the top left direct3d 11 is the frame rate so 45 frames per second is what we're achieving right now our goal is to get above 60 frames per second depending on the gamer playing and everything you also might notice CPU frequency so that'll update as the CPU frequency changes again should be around 3.9 gigahertz or so also CPU load is listed right there that's the percentage and CPU temperature Braham as far as how much memory is being used is up there and again remember I'm not just playing the game right now I'm gaming and streaming at the same time so the CPU is also handling the encoding of the video stream and then the shooting it back out over to YouTube so you guys can can watch it GPU is below that we can see the GPU temperature frequency that's running at percentage load then GPU vram finally how much VM is being used and how much total leg right now it's it's capping it at one oh no it went up a little bit there I wanted to make sure it wasn't somehow capping it amounts of memory that I don't like forget now let's have to turn the radio off too so I make sure that I don't get this video content all right here we go I'm sorry about that this is the Trevor section of grand theft auto 5 you know I feel kind of sad about is when GTA 5 originally originally came out whenever the heck that was like five years ago I played through the whole thing on Xbox 360 and then it finally came out on PC and I've played it a lot on pc but i still haven't actually gotten through the entire storyline which sometimes i but yeah we're getting a real solid 45 frames per second here which I will have to say is decent it's not ideal because I do sense a little bit of tearing but you know what you'll find when you're not using like g-sync or precinct or something like that and you're playing a game and the frame rate is less than fresh rate in the monitor is eventually you'll see tearing potentially stuttering usually stuttering occurs when there's actual drop-off I'm not sure how much of this you guys are seeing although I will say because I'm trying to monitor not just I'm trying to monitor not just what I'm seeing here in front of them also what you guys are seeing on the stream which I'm watching on a different computer right over here so it's not interfering with the performance of the system that I've used but yeah that framerate is I almost feel like that oh no it's moving and moved a little bit I'm into 46 frames per second alright let's run down the other stuff CPU temperature is fluctuating a little bit it is peaking it's getting up towards the upper 70s and I think what you might notice there is the frequency drop off so if the CPU gets a little bit warmer it'll it'll knock down the frequency a little bit when that happens I can't say this for sure right now but when it happens in real life depending on the settings using for a stream at the same time you might notice a little hiccup or something like that but of course it depends on the CPU again I'm using the stock cooler the Wraiths expired that came with this CPU so there's definitely some upgraded CPU performance that could be had by the cooling solution with this I also want to point out memory usage we're hitting pretty close to eight Meg's of RAM so this is definitely not something I would really attempt or try out with that original system that only had a quad core or even potentially well talk about the memory so that original system only had eight gigs of memory so obviously reusing all right streams asking about GPU percentage usage it does seem to be only hitting about 34 percent 32 percents a little bit higher so I can't exactly tell you what's going on with that such a fight wait why are people shooting it I should play the game he's trying to kill me why why are you trying to kill me dude jump out he's dead all right so I get this change I don't think there's anything wrong with the heatsink I just I just installed this just steal this guy's motorcycle no okay now the cops are on me now someone in chat pointed out the rise in CPUs have a 20-degree offsets that's actually not the case for the rise of two CPUs they they got rid of that for the rise and to stuff although maybe that would help in this situation cranking up to the fan speed for the CPU cooler I keep it a little bit cooler right now I have headphones on so you know it's making a decent amount of noise but it's not too bad okay not sure how long I should spend in gta5 that's making me so nostalgic though for all the hours that I have spent playing GTA 5 in the past that I don't do anymore but all right I think that is at least since I spent too much time doing an intro for this entire thing today I said I was going to spend 15 minutes playing HD and good night okay I want to oh yeah I'm in single-player so I can pause how useful all right let's see what the game settings are there's anything in here that might be affecting ignore suggested limits is on so that's usually what causes it to cap things where a full-screen automatic aspect ratio and I say is on vsync is off yeah I'm not seeing anything in here that immediately indicates to me that for some reason we're getting caps somehow my guess would be when it comes to that CPU CPU usage is that there's some sort of load balancing going on right now operating system because there is a decent amount of CPU time that's being used by OBS to do the encoding apply GPU usage I have less of an explanation for but that might be something that actually turning up the settings on the game could affect although I don't know if I want to do that right now getting about 45 frames for a second if I was speaking to you as a game streamer who was playing this and thinking like alright what can I do here to maybe change some things if you want to actually get up above 60 frames per second you might consider streaming out at 720 instead of 1080 that's usually pretty acceptable for streamers I decided to stream this one at 1080 60 frames per second because I'm planning to pull the footage off of YouTube once it's streamed to there to use for a follow up video on the system that's part of my decision-making process there so you might be able to take a little bit of load off the CPU and then give the GPU a little bit something more to do but then again sometimes it just depends on the game and Grand Theft Auto is a game that does like a decent amount of CPU horsepower here we go oh my gosh someone's watching for Trinidad and Tobago Tobago I say Tobago you say to Bob oh thank you thank you for joining and I think that's probably about good for grand theft auto 5 so guys I'm going to jump out of the game here switch back to the full screen and we'll move over to the next game get out an exit Grand Theft Auto game exit yes yes okay yeah I thought the FPS Center counter might be stuck there too but it was really really steady at 45 it was it was ticking up to 46 here and there I'm not 100% sure what the deal was with that play but that there it is all right let's try some pub G little player unknowns battlegrounds thank you guys for joining the stream though this morning I I I'm glad you're here I'm gonna be streaming for hopefully another half hour 45 minutes I'm gonna jump into a few more games give you guys a little taste of the actual live gaming and streaming performance of this little $900 system that I've put together it's got a 2600 X CPU from AMD and it's got a GTX 1050 Ti GTX 950 ti4 MSI is there an arrow OC version okay I'm just gonna hit start going I should sue efficiency sakes alright so for pub G again I'm just going with the I'm starting off with the same settings that I used for the five hundred dollar version of this building's integrated graphics so overall quality is just very low that pretty much since everything's very low here motion Florida's office just search go randomly into a match Jason was wondering I'm not in any way trying to tell you guys I'm good at video games I'm very mediocre at video games but hopefully my mediocre video game play will show you guys at least how the game performs even if I am doing poorly at playing the game that shouldn't affect the actual systems the capability for rendering the game yeah doesn't matter if you die dying doesn't affect your frame rate from my understanding lucky luke asked why I picked the 650 watt PSU I was just trying to list the actual hardware that's in the system the build itself if you look at the it's the $500 system and then I upgraded it to and then I tested it I listed it as a $400 470 dollar system in the testing video because it's how much it was selling for at the time and then I did a follow-up upgrade of that system so the power supply I recommend is a 550 watt Corsair ZX unit that's 80 plus bronze raid which will power the system no problem even if you were to upgrade to like a gtx 1070 or even a 1080 i wouldn't have a problem with in this system just to tell you guys more specifically what i'm using in this actual build I listen to actual power supply that I used which is a cooler master v6 50 which is a bit more expensive so I don't necessarily recommend getting that specific power supply you can get away with the Corsair units all right if any of you guys are just joining this livestream thank you very much before hopping in the saying hello wow we're up to 1,500 people thanks you guys so to recap if you're not aware I am streaming and gaming on the same system it's a $900 PC the gtx 1050 Tianna 2600 X I'm using MSI Afterburner and rivatuner to show you guys on screen to to statistics while I play so up at the top top left hand side at screen there you can see the frame rates it's the CPU performance including frequency percentage load and temperature you can see the RAM usage you can see the GPU usage when it comes to temperature frequency load as well as be RAM usage code below that so I'm just playing some pub G and I'm probably gonna suck at this so here goes I didn't even look at where I was ejecting I'm nowhere near anything towards these ruins here brilliant maybe there's something in the ruins alright beyond the $900 system that I put together I'm using the keyboard and mouse of course a 1920 by 1080 monitor which is also the only thing I'm using the street and I have connected up a headsets so I can hear stuff and it has a microphone so I can talk to you guys and then I plugged in an Xbox controller but I'm probably not gonna use that anymore because I really only use that for grand theft auto 5 apparently works for pub G as well Hey look boxes oh my gosh Andrew it wasn't expecting donations but thank you hey I got a police vest already which means I'm already winning I also have what is this it's just like a a grenade of some sort and I'm being shot at running towards nothing in particular right now guys settings are pretty low on this game and my main goal is to try to live Wow look how this water looks alright I'm gonna attempt to hide over here for a quick second I hope I hope nothing's trying to chase me and see if I can change my settings we're getting up in the ATV frames per second range so I'm gonna see overall quality view distance I'm gonna move too low I just move overall quality low let's see let's see how that works see if that gives us much of a hit slightly less horrendous there's some opacity to it now that's nice and we're only lost it looks like maybe 10 10 ish frames per second there so that's that's cool playing on a 60 Hertz monitor so the goal is to be playing at about 60 frames per second or ideally a bit above that so that when there's dips we don't get tearing or that kind of thing and then of course since I am gaming in Street on up there's gunshots of course since I'm gaming and streaming at the same time there is an additional workload on this system what is that again crowbar yeah I can't even remember yeah okay yeah I have a gun all right super useful no one's gonna mess with me now fortunately I am inside the drop zone so that's cool too and we're staying above sixty frames per second so that's nice oh look at that CPU temperature thank you for pointing that out chat we are getting pretty warm in the CPU temperature modern CPUs have the capability built into them to throttle themselves just a little bit so you'll notice when it's getting really hot you'll see a little bit of drop-off in the frequency which should allow the temperature to even out just a little bit I'm using the stock heatsink fan that came with the CPU so bear that in mind this is just a race fire so it is an adequate CPU cooler if not the best and definitely some additional cooling would probably keep that cooler or abetik and aftermarket cooler something like that heck liquid cooling even but for someone who's looking at a 2600 X I would recommend checking out the 2700 X before you bother doing something like spending you know hundred bucks on a liquid cooler I would rather have the raw CV performance before I go for the overdone coolie some fly drop or one of the things where they drop bombs on everyone it's hard to tell sometimes I look I found a building I kind of wish I didn't have my xbox controller plugged in because it's giving me all the Xbox a backpack another backpack helmet is that a helmet no that's a pot well they make pots look like helmets I do at least now know that if I find a frying pan I should pick it up just usually when I play player knowns battlegrounds it ends up with me just hiding in a bathroom somewhere doesn't look like energy drinks stock extended mag all right this is where I am never should give me a highlight right if I can actually use this lightweight grip but I can't use that oh I hear someone I hear someone they're right there where'd they go what I'm out of ammo why didn't I put ammo in this thing I could've sworn I put ammo in this in this gun I'm surprised I'm still alive I have four bullets left and I'm going to chase this person down and kill them everyone's like reload did I switch I think I switched guns without even without even paying attention to it because I'm pretty sure that first pistol I pulled up I put I reloaded sorry for the dog barking and I lost I lost that person all back okay hold on one sec guys sorry sorry sorry okay trying to do multiple things in one day and how am I still alive I have no idea I'm still alive this is not going well alright so utility inspectors are here which should be a good thing because they're inspecting my solar system and everything that it's just got installed and they gave me a four-hour window from noon to 4:00 and they showed up at 11:30 so like that's normally the type of thing I should be happy about it how did I do that i MLG oh my god how did I do that I take back everything I said about sucking at video games where is this person I must loot their body should I be taking all your stuff person who I shot I don't know what any of this stuff is totally built and then I died from who who killed me thank you thank you I got headshot that's my that is yeah okay that seems like a good place to end I at least gotta kill showed off my mad skills I didn't reload I wouldn't yeah alright exiting to lobby hold on one sec guys yeah I don't okay that's like that's like me playing golf I'm not good at golf I don't play golf often at all but whenever I do play golf like out of an entire round I'll have like one shot that'll actually go where I want it to and that'll make me feel like a while good at golf okay continuing on thank you guys all for sticking with me here and I'm now switching over to petting the dog because he has decided that he wants attention here oh don't don't do that okay next game what is the next game we're gonna do overwatch and for tonight let's do let's do for tonight first hey epic games I'm cha all right I did attempt to to update and install these games oh I don't do that don't tell me that fortnight I have to do this yesterday I updated this yesterday and now there's a 2.4 gig patch super awesome fortunately I have fiber so it's going relatively quickly and I'm just going to keep the livestream going so I guess in the meantime I can answer questions if you guys have them or something like that ok what's going on CC is working good on YouTube that was that close closed captioning yeah ok no I'm playing for at night sorry I got a I got a play for tonight sorry it's it's just just briefly I it's there's there's there's a constant ebb and flow with games it's like a game gets popular and or and then it's too popular and so people start to like beg no it's just too many people playing that and it's always kind of interesting people's like how long it takes for something to for people to get over something like like yesterday the the Laurel was at Laura Lyle Laurel and Yandy or whatever the heck that thing was I was immediately over that thing first my first thought I was like no this isn't doing me much no the solar is not working yet that's part of where the inspection is here today they need to inspect the system excuse me they need to inspect the system and then give me permission to operate hopefully coming soon my fiber connection speed is a hundred up and a hundred down right now so I got plenty of bandwidth yes it could be faster than that because it's fiber but it's frontier and they charge you more for more bandwidth so that's how that goes and now halfway done done downloading the fortnight patch so thing for being with me there and yeah I don't have battlefield one installed so sorry we're gonna do fortnight and then overwatch or my two plans to follow the reason I'm playing the games that I've chosen to play today is because they're the same games that I played on this system when it was in its earlier form when it was about a $500 PC before I updated it updated and upgraded all right how is it that's my question is downloading at about 10 megabytes per second and somehow writing to the disk at 480 megabytes per second it's confusing epic games anyway it's probably does some compression and then it decompresses it and stuff alright that's what's going on hero is here has actually just gone over and settled in his bed so I'm gonna let him stay there cuz he he's when he when he gets in the mood for attention he can be very pushy and especially when I'm playing if I'm playing a video game like with my my mouse hand over here he comes over to my my elbow and just kind of like pushes his head up into the elbow and it makes it difficult to click on things just challenging Patrick asked what webcam I'm using I can I can do this again so for anyone who's just joining this livestream thanks for being here it looks like we got about 1400 people watching right now so you guys are all awesome this livestream looks a little bit funky because the entire stream is being handled by the $900 PC that I just recently built actually built it as a $500 PC with an AMD risin 2200 G the APU then I updated it upgraded it with going from 8 gigs to 16 gigs of memory going from the 2200 G to the 2600 X processor so going from a 4 core for thread processor to a 6 core 12 thread processor and then also adding a discrete graphics card in the form of a 1050 Ti now I didn't want to just build that system I wanted to show you guys how it performs while using it and one of the main reasons or I say a good reason for somebody to update from I say a quad-core to a six core with simultaneous multi-threading like the 2600 X is if you're going to do more with your CPU doing more with your CPU is a good use case for doing more with your CPUs to play games and stream at the same time because the game will be rendered by the graphics card well let's just let me click launch launch yay excuse me so the game will be rendered by the graphics card but then it needs to take that flat video that the graphics card outputs and then it needs to encode that the CPU encodes that at least if you're using the CPU for encoding and then it sends that out to twitch or to YouTube or wherever you are streaming to and that takes more CPU processing horsepower and it's been proven by several people have done some pretty in-depth testing that going with a higher-end six core processor it's gonna do a lot better than the quad cores especially well depending on the game you're playing in settings and all that kind of thing but that's the idea for today so this is gonna be a long and so much wandering stream because I'm loading of games in between this current delay has been caused by Fortnight needing a 2.5 gig update that apparently just popped up this morning very good timing and then I also wanted to point out besides the system all I have added to it to complete the streaming setup is ten any butter made since when gamecontroller is optional I like to use that for gta5 also added and webcams that's the somewhat potato quality webcam you're looking at right now the Logitech c920 but a good webcam for like 50 60 have an updated version that's for cable and finally have an awesome keyboard of course air the cooler master it's the CM storm I wrap a tie and the master master key flight which is actually very like great budget Mouse all right let's play some battle royale for tonight need to load the game up and make sure that's okay it's just a quick look at settings again aiming for 60 frames per second since I'm playing on a 60 Hertz refresh rate monitor 1920 by 1080 right now I'm using the same settings that I was using with a few votes everything is up low I have a feeling like for tonight I'm going to be able to it's update that and possibly give us some better video settings but I'll jump into the game for now to show you guys hopefully how much better framerate we're getting sound is loud I was the sound loud for fortnight that and look at my nose skin gotta break down that car and okay see if I remember how to play for all right people seem to appreciate the sound volume being turned down they Wow they've also been I haven't played for tonight in a few weeks now these for anything beyond some quick benchmarking so I am NOT under percent sure what all the changes are that have been made there's a big old gash in the middle of the map now I don't know where I should go hopefully somewhere that gives me quick and painless death that's what I'm expecting because if you're just joining you can you can check out the stats for the system in the top left corner remember it's not just playing the game it is also doing the stream at the same time so framerate and the top line there CP performance in blue just below that Ram performance and usage so basically RAM usage just below that and then we got GPU overall settings and hopefully see in fortnight the they come pre-loaded the weapons need to like build stuff I've barely played fortnight so you're probably gonna see me doing lots of new stuff then like you know like I don't know what's going on that's okay me sucking will not affect the game performance I'd it does seem like we're capped at 60 frames per second now right now so I'm gonna hope that nobody follows me in here let's see if oh yeah frame rate limits on unlimited let's do that there we go that's that's slightly better that jumped up just a little bit we're now up over 200 frames per second and what is this another pistol can I do wield I'm inside the zone of of death so that's good I guess I'm inside the zone of staying alive no no person's gonna kill me awful gaming Pro alright so obviously frame rate that was pretty good so I think I'm going to update to medium look at that let's try another match you guys can't see the frame Oh No why isn't that why isn't that picking up uh-uh hold on guys I am not sure why that is doing that come on rivatuner wake up yeah cuz I can see the overlay for me but apparently you guys can which which sucks let's try this I'm going to reload the game it might have been something to do with that update but we'll see doo-doo-doo-doo here come the friends requests all right see if that fixed it yeah III wasn't aware that the framerate wasn't going out to you guys because I can see it on my screen so it's got something to do with rivatuner has to hook for tonight and it does like it's supposed to automatically detect the game it also might have something to do with OBS yeah it also it's still not showing their shucks all right I have an idea we'll see if it works shoot still not over lay well that certainly hurts my abilities here to show you can perform in Sanskrit and everything alright I think what I probably will need to do just because time is of the essence here and I am like live streaming right now is just move on to overwatch so sorry about that guys I'm gonna switch over to overwatch and hopefully that will play nice with the rivatuner overlay so you guys can see what's going on cuz it's kind of the whole point to login to battlenet now and yeah I guess I know there is an in-game framerate counter that can be turned on but um I my whole goal was to show the entire system performance as well as memory usage and all that kind of stuff so you guys could get an idea of what's going on and stupid another patch wow I I was way too confident in my setup abilities prior to now because I had loaded up all these games thinking like I'm gonna make sure all these games are loaded and none of them have patches that are gonna try to apply while I'm live and they all have patches that are trying to apply while I'm live so that's how it goes that's how it goes it's okay though this is only a 500 Meg patch for overwatch so hopefully it will just completely nerve fall my favorite heroes stuff like that of this video and this livestream is to do a video that's completely powered by this $900 PC that I have just just recently put together put it together as a $500 system with an APU upgraded it with the discrete graphics card and a 2600 X CPU and now I'm just trying to use it for what I deemed to be a good use case for this PC which is to game in stream at the same time and if you didn't catch the beginning I also pointed out we're running out of GTX 1050 TI which I recommended for this system because it was one of the more reasonably priced graphics cards discrete graphics cards when I set the system up which is a couple months back now that prices have dropped down this is this could go from a pretty solid 1080 gaming $900 PC to like a really nice mid to high-end gaming system for $1100 just go from 200 bucks for the 1050 Ti to 400 bucks for a gtx 1070 and right now at least well as of yesterday on Best Buy you could get a Founders Edition 1070 for $400 and they were in stock and everything so that's nice I don't want pink mercy but apparently I got a reward for breast cancer okay let's see if this say this is working all right I can see my rivatuner overlay well OBS pick up my rivatuner overlay that is the question I'm double checking the livestream to make sure everything's okay oh it's not there gosh well I'm not positive what I need to do in order to get that up and running again I have a feeling that this has something to do with the fact that rivatuner is trying to grab the video stream to put the overlay on it but OBS is also trying to grab the video stream so maybe OBS got out of order and I don't know how I would update that so I guess I could just the overlay was their OBS is not on display capture it's just using the game capture but um I know I know the like the way I would normally do this is I would actually play on hit here and I would I would capture with the other system and that would all you know that would make sure the overlay was always there but um shoot all right display capture might get the overlay so I guess I could try that I have display capture setup hold on my third layout oh I haven't even been showing this either I should show this more often there's my actual testing hard Christopher and some more details about my current setup if you guys want to take a look but what I'm gonna do is get rid of that just show display capture which I should be okay sure right now always never showing the whole display all right let's see let's see how this how it likes that all right I can see the game and the capture you guys can now see it worked oh my gosh thank you to whoever said that in chat it has scrolled by now beautiful alright I'm happy about that let me let me just adjust my my webcam yeah all right I do this copy that and delete it and then paste it back yeah let's I love I love one copy and paste worked properly okay I'm now overlapping into my schedule time for an inspection to be here for let's just do quickly glorious alright so guys now playing some overwatch although it looks like the framerate thing might be on again top left top left-hand side of the screen you will be able to reference the frame rates up top there's also the CPU usage just below that in blue RAM usage and green GPU usage in light red and vram GPU VRAM usage in darker red and as I go along and play you should be able to you should be able to see how the system performance that's the whole idea here yeah I think fps it's either FPS capped in the menu or it might just be in the game having a quick play this used to is used to like jump you into the game in like seconds so much for quick yeah if anyone's watching and you're referencing like the system performance CPU usage GPU usage that kind of thing bear in mind that the system is running the game so we're playing the game itself and also the system is running OBS in the background to capture the game and stream it out I'm also using rivatuner to monitor the statistics I'm also running MSI Afterburner little MSI Afterburner and rave a tuner kind of tied together I'm using hardware info 64 for a lot of these readouts that are on the screen right now and apparently Blizzard knows that I'm live streaming right now so it's just taking its sweet time to have me join a game I'm a single player I'm a single player trying to join the game if player rating of 63 it's not exactly all that hot so a stack attack I have not heard about the next stack attack although Kyle does try to do them every month just fun to go and play last time just switch to full screen CPU is not overclocked I am using the stock rate spire cooler for its oh there's the game music the stock stock race fire spire cooler for it so you'll notice the temperatures are a little on the high side they have gotten up over 80 I think I think when I was in pub he was getting it got close to 90 at some point but hooray for a game to join that's really all I was looking for I think we have confirmed that the frame rate cap isn't on because we just jumped up to 70 what the heck happened to the overlay oh my gosh doesn't seem right at all dang it let me try to get closer to the start here so I'm not abandoning my team and then let's see if I can fix this really quickly oh that's why I am stupid all right that should have fixed it sorry guys I switched back to the Game Capture instead of the screen capture sending the objective hope that worked yes it worked dying the heck is that thing I'm not familiar with that thing it's it's been a little too long since I played overwatch yeah hey I hope to kill someone all right whoever watches fun so we're still capped at 70 frames per second so maybe I should shed video phew that's why custom okay alright sorry about that framerate lock is off that's better that's much more reasonable yeah a bit it went back to the defaults display based limit I also forgot to show you guys I've forgot to show you guys the settings that I'm using so again I don't want to abandon my team or anything like that so I will try to catch up to them before I mess with any of my settings that I might mr. dying there yeah kill the game Oh No okay trying to slightly pay attention to chat every now and then yeah so again gtx 750ti and it looks like in the heat of battle we're getting maybe eighty on the low side and the framerate and 100 on the high side which is very nice actually I know we're about to lose less nice and we're not losing look we're just being pushed back you can check junk rat these moving shields I'm fascinated with do the moving shields hurt you okay all right what I feel bad having that done is showing you guys my system settings like there's a battle going on and I could I could be changing but I'm I am I not doing well with Farah I try to mix up who I use from time to time but I find Farah and Zarya are the ones who I tend to go back to triple kill least I made use of my ultimate my ultra their press Shift what am i just but okay forgetting to press shift oh yeah settings settings let me show you settings really quick video settings alright we're at full screen custom graphics quality is set to high and we're at a hundred percent render scale so there you go high quality is what we're playing out here so this has even already better settings than that original system had had on it so that's cool and also forgetting that I could I could change characters at some point but so much to keep track of right now oh that was a junk rat thing right yeah let's feel slightly less bad getting killed by my Ultimates oh I forgot to change characters again hi that's a good thing it's a good thing for them I was reloading right there oh she killed me you're super chat I'm sorry I'm sorry it's very challenging to keep track of all this going on right now paladins paladin's as paladin's explain to me what you mean by paladins well maybe no what'd you talk about yay I'm helping yay killstreak okay sorry sorry I was distracted by gameplay there no fire in the hole he'll hate jump crap oh I launched right into it apparently so it goes yes playing all right if you're just now joining I'm playing at 1920 by 1080 60 frames per second is frame rate and aiming for I'm gaming and streaming on the same system and this is the system I recently upgraded it's about a $900 system total if you're gonna buy everything straight up GG x 1050 TI for the graphics card and a AMD Rison 520 600 X for the CPU which is a 6 for 12 turret processing all the parts are listed in the video's description if you're interested and yeah I'm just I'm Emily just wanted to play some video games today so that's why I set this all up I think I will hold out until the end of this round if I can and then I will probably call it quits because I have system I believe Tesla has a person here and there's also a city inspector here for my solar system that just got installed I think they're waiting on me hey I killed the turret it's always useful no stupid dragons all right we can do it it can win house he's not dead I could die haha no all right this is an intense final part of the game so give me just a second and I'll try to catch up a chat then I will see if I can explain what's going on I had defend defend Oh No aah damn it so close all right there it is overwatch Oh should we watch the play of the game guess that was an okay play of the game all right well guys you just exit the game here and we will finish things off with a look at stats right that's that's my that was my plan this whole time there's hardware info Oh and there's CPU performance all right cool all right so hardware info 64 has been running this entire time and I just wanted to look at some of the max specs so in this chart you got current min max an average currently it's just sort of settling down after having finished the epic round of overwatch we can see that maximum we're hitting about four point one to four point one five gigahertz per core you guys of course were probably watching on the livestream to see the performance does it kind of bounced up and down in between temperatures were a little warm you can see up in this chart here max it peaked that was eighty eight point five degrees Celsius which is a little on the warm side but um you know see people throttle off a little bit when that happens so it might be something to consider if you were actually gonna put together a system like this for gaming and streaming at the same time to maybe consider some additional cooling for the CPU especially for long sessions if you're gonna try to game in stream for hours and hours at a time it's important to make sure that that CPU stays cool so you have a decent amount airflow on it going through your room or that kind of thing finally we have the graphics card stats which are over here GPU max 70 degrees Celsius and it was running at about seven well 1800 megahertz max frequency on the GPU clock so cool hardware in 464 is a nice little piece of software for monitoring stuff it also ties in and hooks with rivatuner if you want to do on-screen statistics and stuff like I have been showing you guys today but that is pretty much going to wrap it up for this live stream you guys thank you so much for joining me today I am gonna be doing a follow-up on this where I actually have an edited piece of content that's a little bit easier to find out about and digest comparing the system to the original system some of the performance numbers and that kind of thing so stay tuned for that when it comes out if you enjoyed this video hit the thumbs up button of course and links to all the products in this build are down in the video description thanks Lyle you guys you join me live as well was super super helpful today for pointing out when things weren't operating the way they should such as not showing the right stuff on screen with the overlay and everything like that but guys thanks for watching I'm going to end the stream now you guys can even watch me do that on OBS I hit stop screen streaming bye
