    Colleague of mine got a ThinkCentre M91P (i5 2400, 8 GB RAM) from work and put a 1050ti low profile video card in it (currently the best low profile card that doesn’t need additional power), and it is a BEAST. You should review a setup like that, your results will go through the roof.

    inb4 we have to wait another 5-6 months for a video. Would be well worth it though. Although I think his fanbase would slowly forget about him due to UA-cam unsubscribing people from channels.

    6:19 "4k is double 1080p"
    4k is 4x the pixels of 1080p. Roughly 8 megapixels vs 2 megapixels
    other than that, and the frame rate mistype, great videos!

      Would've been better if he used a Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF, looks better and the weird-PSU is a little stronger.
      He could've definitely mated a 1TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD/2TB HDD, to a 32GB-DDR31866, running a 4GHz Core i7-4970 and a GTX 1050 Ti-4GB-LP at stock speeds.
      More powerful than a PS4 Pro, but still shy of a modern Gaming PC. All of that in a box which is around the size of the original Xbox One. And one that will continue gaming in 1080p/60fps in Medium graphics for the next 3 years on the cheap... unlike the consoles like the Xbox One X.

  • @cybercat1531

    4K is not just double of 1080p. Its 4x of 1080p.
    Do the math:
    1920x1080 = 2073600pixels.
    3840x2160 = 8294400pixels.
    8294400 ÷ 2073600 = 4 times more pixels.

    • @joeygreathouse3029

    • @timpedra
      @timpedra 6 років тому +88

    • @beagletv6054
      @beagletv6054 6 років тому +27

      The x86 based system architecture of modern consoles is virtually identical to regular PCs. CPU, GPU and RAM are just integrated into one chip in order cut down power consumption, heat development, DIE size and manufacturing cost. The main difference here is that consoles have to rely on shared memory for CPU and GPU, meanwhile PC uses dedicated RAM/VRAM. This is also primarily an effort to reduce cost and size, despite its crippling effect on memory bandwidth.
      The CPU powering PS4/Xbox1 is essentially two tablet processors packed together. Due to the nature of its AMD Jaguar architecture, the advertised "8 cores" are actually 2 modules with one additional integer unit each. PS4 features an auxiliary ARM processor which handles background tasks more efficiently.
      The GPUs are based on AMD's GCN v2 (or v4 for PS4Pro/Xbox1X), but with some extended features. This includes the ability to process Xbox 360 instructions to enable a more efficient 360 emulation on Xbox1, or the efficient checkerboard rendering technique as a supplement for true 4K. Interestingly, Xbox1 features a 32MB cache of super fast ESRAM, which can be used to save memory bandwidth and speed up some parts of the rendering pipeline. This is why e.g. Forza Horizon 3 outputs at a full 3840x2160 with additional (usually framerate-crushing) 4xMSAA on 1X. But taking full advantage of it is very complicated for developers, therefore it's usually left unused. Modern consoles also feature hardware-based image upscalers.
      PS4's OS is a derivate of freeBSD, which means that it shares common ancestry with macOS and iOS, and is well streamlined for the console. It offers two graphics APIs; GNMX, a simple, high level interface, as well as the low level equivalent GMN, which is more powerful and complex. XBox1 runs on Windows 10 and offers Direct3D 11.x as well as Direct3D 12.x. Every Xbox1 application (except games) runs on a separate virtual machine. It aims towards maximum compatibility between PC and console, but is known for poor overall performance.
      TL;DR: PS4/XB1 are just compact PCs with sub-par memory performance and custom-tailored operating systems.

      Old comment I know
      The video is encoded by the codec to compress it and store it in a uniform standard.
      Playback is taking this squished data and converting it to the correct format for display.
      Playing games at 4k is a case of the GPU calculating and rendering the scene on its own terms. The CPU just wasn't up to the task of media playback.
      Ironically, the PS1's CPU isn't up to the task of playing an MP3, it simply doesn't have the horsepower, but it certainly has audio, just that audio was never compressed to such a high degree, I'd say it's similar here.

    • @jashelps
      @jashelps 6 років тому +4

      That is not how it works. Just because you have more cores doesn't mean that an application will be able to use them. Also parallelization of processes is not perfect and will always have a small performance hit. Also the q9550 is lower clocked then an e8400 so not double in the best case.

    • @AeRiaL_
      @AeRiaL_ 6 років тому +1

      Yes, that's how it works with the Core 2 architecture. It is exactly double and 99% of applications gaming related use 4 cores or more. The 170mhz clock speed difference doesn't matter.

      No, actually if you measure the dimensions it's only 2x dimensionally, 4x the pixels. That's actually how 'doubling' works when you double both dimensions.4x the surface area, but it is still 2x.

      Yeah, the Core 2 Duo is a little too extreme, but you can totally get away with this. There's plenty of AMD Athlons, FX's, or Intel i5's from older generations that are both readily available and up to the task. As long as you can take a normal form factor and don't buy the Vega with its absolutely godawful drivers, you can just crank up the res on a 1070 and game away at 4K. Bottlenecks aren't as problematic at high resolutions.
