Unigine heaven Showcased On the LTT Channel is fake

[RadiatingLight]

at 7 minutes in Linus's alienware laptop review you can see that the benchmark is a paused video. this could be misleading if Linus is reviewing a laptop that can't run unigine heaven.

What do you guys think?

[RGProductions]

Probably for ease of filming. I know for a fact that that laptop can run heaven. Do not bite the hard that feeds you.

whys it matter. and the laptop can run heaven fine so why bother.

Credibility.

That being said, it's likely for filming purposes.

maybe it's the desktop wallpaper

They were probably filming for more than an hour, and didn't want to have it plugged in for aesthetics purposes.

at 5:50ish you can see its got a different wallpaper, unless they changed it mid recording.

Win 10 can switch between wallpapers

yeah but it was in a video player

Why does it need to be running heaven while he is talking about it? Preparing the set probably takes 15-30 minutes and then he has to actually film the video which means you are looking at easily an hour that the laptop is running. There are very few laptops that can run heaven for more than an hour on battery. Additionally, the fans ramping up could cause a bit of background noise. The laptop can clearly run heaven, they probably didn't think it was all that important to be actually running it when linus is standing there talking

My guess is that it's about sound.  In my experiences running sound on set, you want to minimize all ambient sound possible.  You would be surprised what your microphones can pick up.  I've been on honest to god sound stages in Canada in December and we can't run the heat, why?  It causes the metal to 'pop' and 'crack' as it expands and contracts from temperature change in the radiators 30 feet above us.  So the heat would be turned off an hour before filming to ensure it cooled off entirely.  Filming in the home?  You're usually unplugging everything.  Even the fridge.  No joke, in fact a common trick is to put your car keys in the freezer so that you don't leave somebody's home without remembering to plug the appliances back in.

 

A laptop running a benchmark full tilt would run the fan up pretty loud and it'd give you more noise to deal with in sound editing.  It makes sense to run the laptop when it's only serving as a 'prop' next to Linus while he talks as idle as possible and a pre-recorded benchmark video would put a little load on the GPU's hardware decoder and not much else.

 

...I do not miss working on set.  I like my office job in post production.   And don't I look so happy freezing my butt off?

Nailed it. 

 

Gaming laptops are generally not quiet enough to have actually running a benchmark on the table without interfering with audio. 

 

Im more surprised no one noticed my hair changed and I aged 7 days in the shots where the benchmark is not running. Those were done today and the rest of the video was shot last week (long story)

You don't look happy but you look nice and cozy wrapped up in that cute Hello Kitty blanket.  ?

I actually never thought about the noise they would make. Even my laptop (which is running an i5 5200U) is loud under full load, let alone a beast like that.

You don't want to know how loud my old Sager laptop is simply being on...  Worse: it seems the fans are at just the right frequency to have a nails on a chalkboard effect on my ears.  I hate it.  (The noise.) Thankfully I only use it for schoolwork and my much quieter main desktop for daily use along with my wonderfully silent iPad.

STOP THE PRESS!!!! LINUS PAUSED BENCHMARK BECAUSE LAPTOP CAN'T RUN IT!!!!!

 

Who cares? It could be running demo mode in the background for all it matters. If anything, running video/benchmark on screen while talking is about showcasing screen, nit the performance. There's reason why benchmarks are presented as graphs, they tell much more than some pre-rendered video playing.

Gosh, it's almost like you basically make some kind of television show or something and you have to employ 'The Magic Of Television' at times.
