Sweet.
The way Linus handles expensive gear makes me cringe every time.

Isn't 8K totally worthless for the average consumer? I thought our eyes can't see more detail than 4K.
8 K is the max if our entire periphery is covered. 8K 90FPS is kind of the end game for engineers.

Crazy, it reminds me of the footage I've seen of a guy running a 4 way Titan X Pascal SLI setup, some people found a way to get it to work.
He ran Battlefield 1's Open Beta at 8K on this insane setup!

We can have this conversation once we hit 32K native. Until then, let us enjoy these tiny pixels.
He starting an 1080p game is really absurd. Makes you think of how little 1080p can be.

That means literally nothing. There are so many factors that need to be considered; screen distance, screen size, etc.

I need a monitor setup like that, it reminds me of this scene in No Game No Life.

Pretty cool. Shouldn't he have been able to find a monitor with a smaller bezel?
It seemed like Crysis ran well enough with the settings on medium.
Also, them being able to read the piece of paper on the tomb raider menu was ridiculous.

I hope this is a meme.
It's just a demonstration of 8k. Nobody plays like this. Since there aren't any 8k monitors available, this is the only way to test it.

PS5 will be a beast
I thought I heard this before but couldn't dig up a source. It's incredible to think that one day television image quality will be at the point where it will look indistinguishable from reality. I just don't know what resolution and associated specs are required to create that.
You mean PS5 pro,right?
This will never get old, lol.

And we can't see more than 30fps.

By 2018 they'll be a single GPU that's over 10x more powerful than the PS4's GPU, it would be a great fit for a next gen console, seeing as the PS4 Pro is in the mix if there's a 10x jump from that then 2019-2020 may be the best best.
It will be interesting to see if there will be another resolution jump to something like 8K.
In 2018 yes,but will Sony put that gpu inside PS5 and charge $400/$450 for it?
also,how many games right now will support true 4K on PS4 pro?

Most likely not, seeing as we're potentially talking about the power of a next generation flagship GPU.
They'll be other GPUs though which could serve as affordable alternatives, especially if the next generation consoles release in between 2018-2020.
Neither Sony or Microsoft utilized the pinnacle of GPU hardware for the PS4 or Xbox One so they could quite possibly do the same again to provide an affordable console.
Right now less than 10 games have been announced which support true 4K on the PS4 Pro.

Great video, as always.
Good to know even someone who makes a living throwing these builds together still struggles with putting a GPU in.

8K, brought to you by socks with sandals.

Just look at your phone.
It's not the number of pixels that matters, it's the density. The bigger your display, the more pixels you need to avoid aliasing.

Yeah I can believe that because I've seen some reviewers say 4k UHD blu-ray can give a 3D depth like effect to the image, so if 4k can give that effect, 8k should give an even stronger feeling of that.

Gonna freeze myself and come back when 8k 60fps is the standard on a single GPU.
That difference is insane.

I had that with high-quality 60fps 4k already.

I just came from a shop that had some 4k HDR monitors with some ammmmaaaaaazing videos of animals and nature running on it and, man, it really looked like it was 3D at times, it's crazy. Also black levels were great.

I still don't understand how people play with multi-monitor setup. The bezels are a dealbreaker!
PS. A good percentage of that video is Linus trying to sell me something.

This train won't stop until maybe 32K VR
