    How to Build the ULTIMATE 4K Gaming PC: 1. Wait 5-6 years. 2. Make sure 4K is the new standard. 3. Buy ANY mid-range GPU, ANY mid-range CPU, ANY mid-range motherboard, RAM, PSU, case, etc. and build your PC. This is like trying to build a 1080p gaming PC in 2006. It was possible back then just like a 4K gaming rig is now with ultra high-end parts. Back then, you had to drop at least a couple thousand dollars on just the bare-bone PC components to get decent frame rates in the few 1080p games that were out. The best thing to do, even if you have a shit load of disposable income, is to just wait until 4K is the new standard HD gaming resolution and until you don't need 2x or 3x $600 GPUs and a $600 CPU just to get barely 30 FPS in a 4K game on a single monitor. Unless you are a professional photographer or something, 4K just doesn't make sense even for the wealthy gamer.

      By then there will probably be 8k. To me 4k isn't worth investing in yet. But in a few years it will be the standard, but most likely there will be 8k or something.

    • @FuglyFatt
      @FuglyFatt Před 9 lety +18

      JordanTheYTGuy Actually, there already is 8K, but it isn't for sale yet: (www.engadget.com/2014/09/04/lg-8k-tv/), many companies are currently working on it: (www.engadget.com/tag/8k/) By the time 4K is the standard and all of our TV channels, movies and games are displayed in it, there could be any number of even higher resolutions being developed or on the market. Right now, the best resolution to build your gaming PC around is 1080p which is achievable with a single reasonably priced GPU such as a GTX 750ti. Or, if you want something prettier, go with 1440p. 4K just doesn't make sense for gaming right now or for the next few years unless it can be achieved with a single GPU that costs less than $300. By the time everything is displayed in 4K or whatever UHD resolution is the next standard, you will be able to play those games on a PC using a single $120 GPU and use WAY less power than 2x GTX 780tis in SLI. If you choose 8K at that point you would need to spend more than 10x that $120 on GPUs alone much like you would have to do today if you want 4K. Look at the rig in this video. When it was made, those 2x GTX 780tis cost nearly $600 each and were $700 at launch. You need TWO of them to get barely 30 FPS in a 4K game. Now, the GTX 980 is the top GPU and even it can barely give you 30 FPS in a 4K PC game and they are a huge improvement over Kepler and currently cost $600 each as well. It is all about price and power efficiency as well as the actual availability of games that allow you to play in 4K in the first place, not just the fact that we have the technology. 100+ years ago, the fastest cars in the world were slower than my grandma's 2004 Camry - the land speed record for a gasoline powered car stood at around 91 MPH in 1904 and was held by Henry Ford. Now, a car with performance like that makes sense for the average driver because they are cheap, dependable, safe, not to mention extremely efficient and achievable with a tiny 2 liter 4 cylinder motor and we have modern paved roads everywhere. Back then, for a car to do 91 MPH, you needed a large 19 liter engine and a frozen lake. Just because 91 MPH was possible in 1904 didn't mean everyone had to have a car that could go that fast. Just because 4K is out now doesn't mean your PC needs to be able to use it now. And just because 8K is out a few years from now doesn't mean you need it then.

      I saw another video with this same guy where he tried playing Crysis 3 on a 4K monitor using 3 GTX Titan graphics cards in Triple SLI and it still wouldn't run at an even close to playable rate on ultra settings even with that much GPU power. Maybe it would run using 3 $3,000 dual-GPU Titan-Z cards?

    • @FuglyFatt
      @FuglyFatt Před 9 lety +25

      MilitantAntiTheist LOL. Probably 3x Titan Zs all running @ PCIe 3.0 x16 thanks to a PLX chip on a dual CPU LGA 2011 server motherboard with two 12-core Xeon E5-2697 v2 CPUs and 64GB of RAM. Yeah, you only need a $17,000 PC with 24 cores, 48 threads and 17,280 CUDA cores that uses about as much electricity as a Tesla S to run Crysis 3 maxed out in 4K on a single monitor. Very wise investment.

      @superclaw900 Před 7 lety +7

      780 ti: you can find for $150 or less (same price as a budget card).
      4930k: still relatively expensive but can be found at $260 (less than half of what it was new)
      32gb ram: fast ram that is >2000mhz at ddr3 can be found used under $100
      asus x79: can again be found used for MUCH less than it was new.
      ssd storage: is cheap now
      psu: still need to buy a good psu which depends on you

    This video has a lot more subtle video editing in it, a lot of it quirky. I'm loving it, and appreciate the work I know went into it. How long did you spend motion tracking? :p
    It also goes a lot more in-depth than previous videos. A good example is the RAM demonstration, how he explains exactly how to put it in and all.
    And the explanation for each part, *each and every part*, is very welcome.

    • @LinusTechTips
      @LinusTechTips  Před 10 lety +17

      This is the first build guide that was fully scripted and shot listed beginning to end before we started production. We also did all B-roll as we went instead of doing the main shot, undoing the work, then taking B-roll of it.
      It took a lot longer to prepare, but I believe the end result is totally worth it. This is our best build guide yet.

    • @JustJessDev
      @JustJessDev Před 10 lety

      LinusTechTips I absolutely agree. It's the little things, and you guys went microscopic. I love the professionalism mixed with an approachable quirkiness. I'm looking into applying for a job at a retailer soon, just graduated, and making tech videos myself, and I'd like you to know that you're a huge part of "why". I really don't like the sit-on-a-couch and talk-about-the-product-features-you-can-see-on-the-box approach, because, it's an UN-boxing. Take it away from the box and tell us how the damn thing applies in the real world; You do that. Cheers, Linus.

    • @a.c.vermillion
      @a.c.vermillion Před 10 lety

      fahad bin shuwaysh sorry I'm not Linus , but I think he used the reference ones because of the blower style cooling and when those are put in sli they push the warm air outside of the case keeping the tempretures in the case low + the reference cards of gtx 780/780 ti actually overclock better that the reference ones in Linus' expirience

    • @NoahAgosta

      budget gaming is pretty much all the same... 8 gb ram, i5 4670 or fx 6300, r9 270x or gtx 760/750, ssd if you want, hard drive is up to you.

  • @FxntaClaws

    Linus I hope you see this! This build is what my pc is based off and I am still running to this day. I was doing it on a budget purchasing parts on ebay. I was in school when this video was released.
    I started with SLI 780Tis and then went to SLI 980Tis. I am now running an RTX 3090 in here.
    To this day it still holds up running windows 11 overclocked i7 4930k, the ripjaws ram and I did also swap out the PSU for the V1000 as I ran into the V850 being overwhelmed and shutting down my system when running the 3090. I didn’t expect this but it did.
    Overall this build is a mint build to this day with modifications made to it over the years. I know I am CPU bottlenecked with the 3090 but we live on.
    Thank you very much Linus for making this pc for me and allowing my own customisations as times have changed!

    I think it would probably be better to use a 1440p monitor with is so you can have decent frame rates and AA. Hardware just isn't up to par for native 4k yet and this rig is around $4000.

    • @amr1t_

      And the cost of the monitor, which is plenty

    • @tmar23
      @tmar23 Před 10 lety +5

      A) AA isn't as needed on at higher resolutions.
      B) AA is overrated. Larger performance impact for minimal quality improvement. Really edges are that important? At best it improves a fraction of a percentage of the overall image.

    • @Alegiance
      @Alegiance Před 10 lety

      Pull out one 780ti and you'll still max out games with AA in 1440p.

    • @archererlink3
      @archererlink3 Před 10 lety

      Alegiance not at 60 fps you won't. Google some benchmarks.

    • @archererlink3

      tmar23 you still need AA even at 4k. You can definitely notice the jagged edges, AA is simply a must even if it is only FXAA.

  • @HaydnJeffries
    @HaydnJeffries Před 9 lety +37

    I would have thought that, nowadays, two GTX 970's are a superior solution due to their comparable performance with the 780ti's, significantly lower power consumption and better price. Not to mention the additional gig of VRAM that they provide.
    Also, I would probably swap out the processor / motherboard combo with the X99 Deluxe from Asus and the 5820k. RAM would obviously need to be changed to accommodate this (DDR4) and personally I feel safer with an air cooler, so I'd go with a Noctua NH-D14. I'm also personally a big fan of Crucial and their MX100 SSD's, for me, offer better value with 2 512GB variants in RAID 0.
    Power supply is fine, love the fan choice, and the case is also outstanding.
    Just my thoughts on the build a few months on... would anyone else make any changes?

    • @personal_penguin

    • @traiwitz2736
      @traiwitz2736 Před 9 lety +3

      A gtx 970 can't even come close to a 780 ti , I think you meant gtx 780. Remember, 780 ti has 2,880 cuda cores, 780 has 2,303 cuda cores, and a 970 has around 1600 but because of the architecture running on maxwell it's about equal to a 780's 2303. But it's not even close to a 780 Ti

    • @HaydnJeffries
      @HaydnJeffries Před 9 lety +19

      Safwat Khan ***** What on earth do you both mean? A 970 is roughly the same performance as a 780ti and even surpasses it when overclocked. Not to mention the extra GB of VRAM, which is absolutely essentially for additional stability when it comes to gaming at 4K. Add to that the superior power efficiency and pricing, and the 780ti is, at this point, irrelevant when it comes to this build as far as I can see.
      Need evidence of the performance similarities? Here: www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2014/09/19/nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-review/12
      Look at other websites for benchmarks and you'll see that this is no fluke. An overclocked 970 can also beat out a 980 stock. Not everyone on the internet is terribly misinformed, you know.

    the board has labels for the ram slots, like 1-a 1-b 1-c and 1-d then 2-a 2-b 2-c 2-d. if you use the number 1 slots, the memory bus is physically shorter than the number 2 slots so it is accessed faster.

      minesweeper needs Intel Core i9 8970x @39Ghz ,32 cores,256GB of RAM,Geforce GTX TITAN 9 ULTRA 8 way sli,90TB SSD to run in 0.01 fps.If you want to run in 120fps,get a 128000 node of Xeon E19 (98th Gen) of supercomputer

      Eugene Yau But the Titan 10 Ultra Ti just came out, get it instead. It is only $30,000 more then the Titan 9 Ultra non Ti.

      Windows comes with Windows Defender. Better than any antivirus program out there.

      Yeah, but don't go to a website that looks infested. It's not hard to see if a website will be shitting on your computer. That's not to mention, if you scan your computer regularly, it will detect any viruses that you have downloaded. I personally don't need Norton up my ass every 5 seconds telling me some website is untrusted.

    I'm really curious to see Linus Tech Tips do a future safe budget build. Curious to see the components and what the price would come to. (By future safe I mean, being sure that the PC won't be obsolete in the next 3 years.)

    • @AmosDohms
      @AmosDohms Před 5 měsíci

      It would've been a decent build with an i7 and a gtx 970 or 1070, not too hard really.

    How did it go with the EA Live chat? Did you get into the Hardline Beta?

    • @EdzelYago
      @EdzelYago Před 10 lety +14

      Haha... You weren't supposed to be able to read that. I had to balance it being too much effort and it still looking good. Anyway, I got into the beta almost a week before my account got accepted via the signup so definitely a success.
      Game's not worth the asking price though. $35? Absolutely. Anything more and you're just getting gouged for a minor mod.

    • @DanSteve64
      @DanSteve64 Před 10 lety +2

      Hahaha. I loved that little filler. Made me smile so thanks for including it. Hopefully Linus doesn't read this stuff so he doesn't know your filling his videos with random ramblings.
      I agree with you about hard line though. Has been fun but just not different enough (yet it's still early) to justify buying it straight off the bat!

      Personally I think BF4 should have been pushed back several years and that they should have released BF2143 and BC3 first. I'm not a fan of what EA has been doing to the franchise lately =/.
