  • Okay, yes, I know last episode

  • total Cliffhanger with some of you expressing frustration that we left you with

  • these apparently whatever that means

  • Anyway, we never meant to lead you on but between the desk

  • the monitors and the

  • Troubleshooting it was just way too much for one video

  • But we're back at it with 16k gaming and this episode will be the last and it's going to work

  • we hope

  • Synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard

  • Between multiple computers at once check it out now at the link in the video description

  • Okay, so here's where we left off some of the monitors are running correctly 4K 60 hertz some

  • Of them are not working at all and some of them are somewhere in between at this

  • God-Awful

  • 1024 by 768 resolution with pillar boxes

  • So troubleshooting we reseated our graphics cards. We double check the connections on our quadrille sync card and

  • finally it might be the

  • painstakingly cable managed 25 foot Generic displayport cables

  • I've got the new ones

  • freakin fantastic okay, so while jake

  • Works on swapping the cables out I want to get into a little bit more detail about the 16 K experience

  • We are trying to create here

  • we wanted to update our last insane resolution gaming setup in every possible way, so

  • We reached out to aether who graciously provided

  • 16 of their 4k Predator xbone gaming displays

  • We weren't able to make use of all of their gaming features like G-sync in our config

  • But their IPs panels are an absolute must for a monitor array

  • that's so large that in regular youth you could actually be looking at it from

  • 30 to 50 degrees

  • Off-Center

  • Let's move around to where Jake's working and take a closer look at the cabling even with some clever

  • Cable management using these stealth power bars that we've got here. We needed four

  • Pounds of power cord, and we actually need to wall circuits in order to run this monstrosity

  • Because with a typical power consumption of around 70 watts each

  • our monitors alone draw more than

  • 1,100 watts from the wall and

  • Sending an image to the monitors was no easy battle either so our original setup had a whopping

  • 300 feet of

  • displayport cabling all nicely managed into the desk save for a

  • Little bit, that's kind of hanging out the back here dick

  • drinking that down to

  • 240 feet now basically a lot of displayport cabling, and I think we've got all the replacements in right yep, okay?

  • Wait for it wait for it. Oh

  • What is this?

  • This isn't sixteen gamers one CPU is it no

  • Yes, yeah, wait. Are they all 4k butt-fuck again?

  • Alright

  • There it is

  • Sixteen k's of soon to be gaming Glory, and this is probably even more

  • Impressive than you realize because remember

  • 16 K is not twice as much as eight K and 8k is not twice as much as 4k

  • we are talking about a

  • 4x increase in pixel count as we move up so to put this thing in perspective

  • Look at the 1080p full Hd monitor that you're probably watching this video on right now

  • 16 K is

  • 64 times the total pixels your 1080p monitor would be this big

  • That's it

  • Now let's talk about how we're planning to drive them

  • We learned a lot from our last crazy

  • Experiment when we were the first to game at 8k on YouTube and there were three problems

  • We needed to solve one

  • We are running a mere two graphics cards last time with consumer amounts of video memory

  • That needed to be rectified to NVIdia is consumer grade display standing

  • Envy surround is not very flexible and free when you run a 3D application

  • across multiple cards there can be a desync Rijn eyes

  • Jelly effect when you move left and right, that's pretty nauseating

  • thankfully

  • Guardian-Angel NvIdia saves the day supplying us with four of their quadro P5

  • thousands valued at a total of about

  • 10,000 u.s. Dollars I saw a lot of comments on the last video with why quadrants quadros are for gaming

  • Okay, if you went to linus university you would know that they gain just fine

  • And you'd also know that they address a lot of those problems for us each of our P5

  • Thousands has similar performance to a GTX 1080 but with a whopping 16 gigs of vram

  • But it's 64 gigs total for all dim pixels since we're not running an ethical I also

  • professional Quadro cards have a

  • different display combining utility called mosaic that can scale to far more

  • displays than NB Surround and

  • Finally to address the Jelly effect and keep this entire

  • wall of monitors in sync

  • They have this extra little connector to plug into a quadro sync to cards and it works

  • hopefully

  • This looks like the last video you told me it was going to work. It is gonna work

  • And is well. I'm a bit worried

  • and

  • And it works

  • ok now to be clear this feature is really designed for

  • jumbotrons and large Format, digital signage like a time square video wall versus gaming

  • But we appreciate NvIdia agreeing to let us showcase it for that

  • Which is coming?

  • Very very soon now

  • See you can tell I'm going to be gaming because I have a gaming chair oh

  • Okay, my leg is recovered and more importantly we've got all the monitors arranged correctly now so check this out each

  • Row of monitors is running off of an individual card

  • So what we should see if we wiggle something back and forth is we should see some

  • jelly in this line here, but because of the sync card

  • It's actually pretty darn clean, okay also since we're in here holy crap

  • That's right my friends

  • 15000 360 by

  • 8640 and we are going to launch some freaking games

  • After we take a closer look at the table

  • So if you didn't see it in part one this custom version of I see tables desk

  • extends their normal design from 6 to 16 monitors

  • But everything else about it is actually this cool even if you just get a regular one

  • so the entirety of the desk is

  • customizable from the Bluetooth

  • Controllable RGB lighting to the swappable Fascia panels which might I mentioned come in a variety of colors

  • The tempered glass desk can also sport a graphic under it just pretty 6 you can shop your favorite game car or waifu

  • If that's your mojo, and there's built-in cable management for the integrated case that they call the t-con

  • This is from desk PC. Final form

  • s**t

  • right here

  • so

  • Are you ready to launch a game now? What should we do first?

  • First minecraft here do some Minecraft yeah

  • You almost need a separate desk, so you can guess while your desk, or oh?

  • Okay, hold on I got this

  • It's like oh my goodness. That's a lot of pixels

  • loading world

  • Wow, whoa, holy?

  • Actual balls, I will confess to you. I have never played Minecraft do we have a frat counter

  • This is probably what like 800 by 600 so F11

  • So we were at 400 FPS. It's just gone

  • Click F3. I think you can see up this there we go there we go

  • No

  • So we're running at like oh

  • Sonic's there we're running it like 40 to 50 frames per second at

  • 16k

  • 16k

  • It's like 5 billion pixels a second or something like that

  • No, we can't see as you randy's. I'm just going to hit get over here area

  • No way

  • but every GPU is using exactly

  • The same amount of memory it might be shared jake yeah

  • Alright next game. Let's do one that

  • We haven't tried yet

  • Right rise of the tomb Raider go low settings just so we like have some vram possibilities there sure ok

  • Here we go you ready. Yeah, oh

  • whoa

  • Ok game launched. No way

  • 3 fps

  • There never start Benchmark remember there's more there's more to lag about a game than just the framerate

  • quick

  • oh

  • Yes

  • Holy Crap like the game's not even running in real time right now like you notice how long that pain took yeah?

  • Yeah, I mean looks great

  • Even like up close right because this is this is still

  • 4k level of detail on every screen right yeah, I think this is about one frame per second

  • Lara croft is actually like on your side all over the moon look at this. This is actual size

  • You heard it here first. This is video games in real size. Maybe I didn't hold the escape key for long enough. Oh

  • Wow, yeah, oh wow?

  • holy Balls, I

  • Got a know what video memory. I mean it must have just been pin. Yeah

  • Oh, we were purely limited by vram like it was swapping out to system memory

  • So that's interesting that means so we were at 65% so there was 30% more performance in there

  • We could've been running at one point 3 frames per second look at the Power usage

  • You only ever went up to 50 on the hall that's really interesting, so this is like frame frame frame frame

  • frames like frame system Memory

  • frame system memory

  • very interesting great there we go. I mean this is running on this dough. Oh

  • Damn, no way

  • whoa, oh

  • haha

  • Look at these tiny options

  • We're at the right resolution. Go to advance the bottom right now. Hell. Yeah can we try oh my God?

  • It's like way over here. Oh

  • Sorry, I mean give me the mouse

  • But you know I can do it you could do it and then once you get this our frame rate uh

  • 100 now 70 no way. That's totally playable - - like insane tearing
