I just... wow. This is incredible. Really shows off what can be done with the PC.

 

Although, I have to ask... why G-Sync monitors with AMD GPUs? Why not the FreeSync version of the G34 Predator, the XR341CK? Because of the higher refresh rate of the G-Sync version?

Wouldn't work.

 

The rear I/O is two slots in width and the PCBs are too long for Linus to get the cards out ever again.

K|NGP|N 980 Ti ftw with SuperFlower 2000w. or Dual PSUs! :)

Technically it's 7 Gamers, 2 CPU.

 

Change the title to 7 Gamers, 1 Gaming Tower @LinusTech @nicklmg @Slick.

PS : it's 7 GPU 2 CPU

wait... Xeon doesn't have integrated GPU. Does the motherboard gets the video from a video chip on motherboard?

this is awesome man! Could someone make a guide on how to easily do this for 2 or 3 gamers on a moderate gaming machine with a mid range graphics card? I would love trying it out!

Main - SPEEDTEST
CPU AMD FX-8350 | RAM Kingston HyperX 12GB @1866MHz | GPU Gigabyte HD 7850 | Mobo Asrock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 | HDD 1863GB Seagate ST2000DM001-1CH164 | PSU 550W | Case VENTO A8
Le Petite Frankenstein (First build, only original part is GPU)
CPU AMD Ahlon II X2 260 | RAM 2x2GB @1333MHz | GPU Sapphire HD 3650 | Mobo Gigabyte 78LMT-S2P | HDD 500GB | PSU 500W | 1998 Case
I support AMD because I support competition in the hardware market. We all know if the "other guys" had a complete monopoly, things wouldn't get any better for ANYONE..

Maan!! Whoow!

 

@LinusTech I expected a really long video of this one. Especially considering that it is a $30k PC.

 

You could have asked Super Flower for their 2000w PSU and throw in 7 x 980 Ti in there.

 

Not sure but I think that might end up performing not as high as it normally would since even though at the level he's at it's ok the overhead would start hurting performance a bit above it. 

 

Plus I haven't seen any 980ti that can be configured as a single slot card, meaning it would turn into a mess of PCI-E raiser cables everywhere.

Is it possible to run Firestrike on 7 way crossfire? The score would break records I bet.

 

Don't think so but I think it will be possible with Direct X 12 async compute, meaning this same rig will probably be able to play like a wall of 4k monitors.

The video was not so good, Way to short. No details into problems. No good testing.

The rig is awesome btw, but with all the teasers, i expected a better video. Even if it was a two part video. Lack of time isnt a excuse when you have so many people working a LTT.

Lolz
