okay chances are you've probably played minecraft at least once on that fancy new gaming PC of yours or maybe on that console in your living room or bedroom or I don't know can you play minecraft anywhere else I'll be honest it's a pretty cool game it's open source you can add texture pack you can add add-on packs and completely change the physics of the game it's it's just an open platform you can do whatever you want and I love games like that that's why I played GTA 5 all the time you can do whatever you want you can play with friends you can play by yourself build anything I'm not in GTA but you can build anything in Minecraft that's pretty cool but there are things in Minecraft that definitely take a toll on either your apu or your GPU or whatever you have running in whatever rig you're running the game on I should also mention that this entire video is based on a single youtube comment that I received from a fellow youtuber who said well if you really want to test just how powerful your CPU is then need a bunch of T&T and minecraft and see how low your frames per second dip so I said I wonder just how well our 4690k will be able to handle tons of T and T being detonated at the same time so here's how things went down for the first test I took a single one by one by one block of TNT set it in the middle of a pasture set a lever next to that and then opened up fraps what I did with fraps was I started the frame per second counter ten seconds before I pull the lever and then I waited until the lever was pulled let the explosion happen and then I counted for ten more seconds until stopping that frame per second recording I repeated the exact same procedure for a three by three by three block of TNT next so in this case you know multiply three by three by three simple volumetric calculations there and that was 27 blocks and then for the third test I stacked five by five by five blocks of TNT into a cube that's a hundred and twenty five blocks of TNT in this case and then also detonated that course remember doing the same recording procedure 10 seconds before is when I start and then I pull the lever and then I wait 10 seconds apiece recording and then for the final finale of sorts I took a 10 by 10 by 10 lakh yes that it is 10 times 10 times 10 that's 1,000 blocks of TNT in one cube that took about 30 minutes to put together and I detonated that and I did the same procedure for that one as well you're welcome I know you were wondering we were like 5 by 5 by 5 is not enough I was I I know what you're thinking so I did 10 by 10 by 10 just to satisfy those of you who and I also recorded those results so here are the results so you can see right away that the one by one by one block of TNT only barely dented my FPS rate from about 600 to dip to about 400 frames per second so one single explosion cut my friend per second rate into two thirds of what it was before so it went from 600 400 that's Wow for one block of TNT it's actually kind of scary when you think about it one explosion in Minecraft shredded my frames per second rate that's that's not that's actually kind of discomforting things get further discomforting when you take a look at the three by three by three line this line resulted in an FPS dip down to nearly 200 frames per second so my friends per second rate was literally cut into thirds with that I went from about 600 200 not cool at all things got even worse with the 5 by 5 by 5 125 T&T block explosion which resulted in a severe FPS dip from about 650 to is about a 100 so yeah it literally got cut from 600 to 100 slice into 1/6 of the frame rate that I was receiving before that is not cool and then finally the grand finale the 10 by 10 by 10 1000 TNT block explosion resulted in a disgraceful FPS dip from about 600 frames per second to 12 that's right an $850 gaming see dipped in frames from 600 to 12 all because of one fairly large explosion that is discomforting but that is pretty awesome at the same time so there you have it what you can take away from this if you're wondering what what kind of test is this Greg is that even if you have a super super beefy computer we're talking sixteen hundred seventeen hundred dollars of you know six core twelve thread gtx 980ti you have all the goodies in the super awesome gaming pc if you play minecraft and you decide to blow things up things will get pretty pretty bad take it from me I've got a 4690k overclocked to 4.4 gigahertz and that machine behind me in an EVGA four gigabyte gtx 960 super super clock edition and i experienced some pretty drastic framerate dips it was as pretty disgraceful and i really did not expect that at all but uh thank you mr. youtuber for suggesting such an interesting video if you guys would like to see more videos like this give me a thumbs up let me know in the comments below what else you have in store for you know pushing our CPUs and GPUs to the limit if you didn't like the video though dislike it and let me know in the comments why you didn't like it maybe just because I decided to use minecraft as my test bench of sorts I don't know don't hate on minecraft it'sit's an okay game for most people most people also be sure to subscribe to the channel if you haven't already we do cool things like this all the time this is science studio thanks for learning with us you
