fucked up the title but w/e
I can't even imagine spending $16k on a gaming pc
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;52502767]I can't even imagine spending $16k on a gaming pc[/QUOTE]
if I had 16k I'd just build the best possible PC with SLI 1080ti's (may as well sli, fuck it) and then a ultrawide 2160p
Then idk, PCI-E SSD? 1TB? I don't know, I could even buy enough RAM to run a 160gb RAM disk and still have memory left over.
I wouldn't even know what I'd buy. At that point you just kinda, spent it on increasingly silly monitors

make a few bitcoin rigs obviously

I probably would have enough money left over to make several ethmining rigs tbh :v:
the amount of stuff Linus gets is almost scary

Great job only reading the title.
The 16k refers to the resolution, as in 4k, 8k, 16k...)
Not the price tag. The monitors alone were almost 16.000usd. Let alone the rest of the build.
4k Monitors cost around 400usd these days
why did they [B]have [/B]to go with $880 monitors anyways :v:
[editline]24th July 2017[/editline]
then again at that size gsync is probably totally and completely required
imagine the screen tearing on basically ANY game
i mean i'd wait for 4k 144hz before spending that kind of dosh almost exclusively on monitors.
132 million pixels
holy shit
What do they do with these builds after the video? This belongs in a museum lol
it looks crazy but playing games on an even numbered row of screens would be terrible in practice. the reticle on the 8k was smack in the middle of panel gaps and so will this.

Because you don't want some cheap 4k 60hz panel, you want some amazing 4k 144Hz G-Sync panels.
The monitors are also sponsored, so money is not really a problem anyways.

But it wasnt 144hz
That would be even more costly
Anyone else have a hard time listening to Linus? His content is so informative and well edited but his voice is so different.

at first sure but it's not too abrasive that you can't look past it

He's gotten more obnoxious as time goes on, which is unfortunate because I enjoy the content. He's become less tolerable over time for me.
I wonder how long it would take to play a fullscreen version of classic Minesweeper on it with a grid as big as it can display. Or playing Cities Skylines and building your city without ever having to move the camera as you can see every citizens face from a wide shot.
So. Will he drop it in the next part?
[QUOTE=yellowoboe;52504293]So. Will he drop it in the next part?[/QUOTE]
It'll fall over on him, all those years of dropping things finally karmatically paid off!
I thought about them doing this a week and half before this video came out, Weird. Some can correct me, but is the reason they didn't go with Titan's because Nvidia dropped support for 4 way SLI?
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;52502767]I can't even imagine spending $16k on a gaming pc[/QUOTE]Well it's an investment for Linus tech. They make back the money with people sharing and going 'Look how mental this setup is' .
Imagine spending 16k on a single PC.
Here's the real dream:
-beefy as FUCK main game/rendering rig, triple monitors, XLR desktop microphone, the works
-fully passive seedbox/NAS with stupid-big all-copper heatsinks, receiving torrents, data backups and a music/video library
-enough home automation and streaming sticks to be able to hear any song or watch any show by just saying the command out loud, anywhere in the house

Official SLI is now 2, you can do more, but if it doesn't work, nVidia won't bust their ass trying to help you.
Off topic and I know '16K' is the resolution, not the price of the PC, but extremely expensive gaming PC's confuse me. First we have oblivious people going "omg don't game on PCs, it's super expensive and you have to spend like 2 grand to get a decent one", and then other people elsewhere going "yeah dude I just spent 3.5K on my gaming PC alone". And I'm just left there going "???", in my experience, ~2K USD is about as high as you can go as far as gaming performance is concerned, beyond that and it just becomes pointless.
Case in point:

Decent cooler that'll likely be able to get you up to 5+GHz (it [I]is[/I] a 7700K though so a delid may be required, but that's what you want to get if you want to reach near the highest framerate currently possible), memory rated for 3.2GHz to really squeeze out those extra frames, a 512GB M.2 SSD coupled with a 2TB WD Black HDD, a 1080Ti, and an overkill but also extremely reliable power supply. We haven't even reached 2K yet, and we're already pretty much at the top. What can we really do in order to burn even more money? Sure we could replace the 1080Ti with a TITAN XP, but that's going to make us pay, what, another 500USD to give us like a maximum of 10% extra performance, not really worth it. We could also spend a bit more money on the motherboard and throw in an additional 1080Ti for some SLI action, not really worth it either IMO considering most titles have lackluster, if any at all, multi-GPU support. Though it's good if you just want to brag about your benchmark scores, I guess. The 7700K is the best gaming CPU you can get, and the 1080Ti is the best gaming GPU you can get, if you have those two, it doesn't really matter if you throw another 2, 3, or 10 grand at your build, it's still going to perform the same, because you've essentially reached the top of the mountain at that point.
But as I said, this is just in regard to [U]gaming[/U] performance, then we have people who really enjoy tinkering, setting up massive custom liquid cooling loops and what not, spending massive amounts of money on massive amounts of storage, spending 2K on a CPU alone for professional tasks, etc. etc.

Yup, there comes a point where spending more money for gaming is only for things like faster drives, SLI / crossfire setups, or just because you can.
Workstations can easily cost a lot more as you WILL want the stupid expensive components and sometimes that wont even be enough depending on your workflow,
for example:

why not use amd's SSG?
Jeeze those video titles and thumbnails.

Not to mention your ridiculously expensive build becoming outdated in about a year when the next generation of GPUs come out, and while I understand building a top of the line PC and then upgrading in a couple of years when you actually start noticing poor performance, I don't think the kinda people buying ridiculously overkill setups are the ones that are okay with framerate dips and not staying at the absolute bleeding edge regardless of whether they actually need that much power or not, at which point it's just a constant cycle of wasting money

Well, they're enthusiasts, it's their hobby. So is it really wasted money if they enjoy constantly getting top end hardware?
With that said, I've got older friends who spent around 1500 dollars back in 2009 on Core i7 920's and Radeon HD 4890's. They didn't upgrade up until 2015 when they bought new graphics cards, and they didn't upgrade the rest of the system up until just a couple of months ago when they all went with Ryzen.
I know console gamers who've spent way more than that in the same timeframe by first buying the PS3, then the PS4, then for whatever reason getting the PS4 slim, then getting the PS4 Pro, and they still have the audacity to claim that PC gaming is "expensive". They're good people, but regarding that they're morons

I went from a Nvidia 780GTX to a evga 780Ti. To then a 980 which I returned as soon 980Ti came out then as I owned that card for more than a year. I decided to watercool my pc and also buy a full waterblock for my 980ti that was about 220 euro with a backplate included only to sell it 3 months later when titan XP came out and also watercooled that. Yeah there's people like me who like to waste money to keep on the bleeding edge. What is wrong with that?.. Im not filthy rich. I dont have millions. I have a decent job and able to afford this. I might not be making money at this point or saving up money but atleast, I dont have framedrops and like my games to perform as best they can at all times. And more importantly im having fun and joy having all these things.
Can't wait to see those super-expensive computers being sold like 30$ in a thirft shop in 20 years from now on.
