Jeez. 2 threads this is perfect for. Double posting, sorry admins/mods.
So I watched the video, and signed up just to make this post. (Compensator 2.0)
We already knew the outcome was going to be less than great for gaming when we saw the 4 NVIDIA cards. I don't think rigs like this should only be tested with games, and LTT is missing out on a huge opportunity to put these machines through the fires of something far more demanding than videogames, being creative software.
Where are the Adobe AE benchmarks? What about Octane render in Cinema 4D?
You don't understand how flaccid I get as a 3D motion graphics guy to see these machines being built with batshit crazy amounts of CUDA tech, only to see it be tested in Witcher 3 or Tomb Raider, only to run like garbage, only to see the video end, and know how much potential there WAS inside of that batshit crazy machine.
Can Linus start doing content geared towards creatives? An AE benchmark? Or a GPU rendering benchmark? Something that will really put these machines through their paces?
I know that LTT is looking for video content ideas.. There you have it. You'd be attracting creatives to the channel with new content, expanding your audience. We'd REALLY be able to see what these machines can do. It's a Win Win Win for everyone and everything.
