[Music] tonight tech yes citizens we're going to
be building a pc to play microsoft's new flight
simulator now i've heard that people are struggling to get the
fps in this game they are having problems and this has been going on for
forever in flight simulators flight simulators have always had problems
getting really high fps so don't be surprised that microsoft's 2020
flight simulator isn't getting you the fps that you want
like other potato games like say for instance valeran or fortnite
they're very easy because there's not a whole lot going on in that
game with the engine as opposed to a flight sim with so many
different variables going on at the same time though if
you've got fps problems the first thing you can try and
this is a big important part of tonight's build
is that we've got seven rgb fans in total three at the front we're going to
be putting one at the back and then three on this 360 mil radiator
which can be mounting at the top so we all know if you're enthusiast tech
we all know rgb gives you more fps and it's going to
be giving us more fps in this case because we're using the i5 10 600 k and
that's because flight simulators at least the ones from microsoft have
typically been very single thread heavy and dependent
though we will check that out once we installed the game
but i have a feeling the 10600k coupled with the z490
aorus pro ax motherboard and 4 400 megahertz
ddr4 memory is going to give us the best shot at getting the best fps
on this game but for the graphics card with the rtx 2080 super here for morris
and i'm hoping in this game at least the this graphics card won't be the
bottleneck at least at 1080p but from what i'm
hearing the cpu is the bottleneck in this game
so we're going to give it the best shot it can and another thing as well aura
sent over because they knew i was doing a microsoft flight simulator gaming pc
they sent over two nvme drives to put in raid 0 because
they've heard that these levels they've got massive levels and they take a long
time to load so if you've got raid 0 that's
going to speed up your load times for all the levels within flight
simulator now with that aside today's video is sponsored by gigabyte
and nvidia let's get on with this build and then install flight sim
[Music]
and here is the finished product with seven rgb
fans ready to go now we've overclocked the cpu to 5.1 gigahertz and then we've
left it on overnight stress testing as well as downloading all the games so
i decided to download a couple more games
because your first month on the xbox game pass pc is a dollar
so that means you can play microsoft flight simulator 2020
for one buck like it's actually a really good deal right now
anyhow it's finally time now to start benchmarking this game
okay we've got to download web [Music]
um okay so we've got to now download another 91 gigabytes of storage
after we downloaded the initial 150 gigabytes this is
really weird uh yes uh hello i've just come to australia and i've
experienced your for aussie
internet so now this game is installed we can go from a comparison here from
all the way on the low preset to the medium to the high end and then lastly
to the ultra preset what we can see here is that straight
away low settings is so taxing on this game it's
incredible how taxing this game is on not just your cpu but your gpu too
this is a 2080 super it's being taxed at 60 percent and the graphics kind of look
like on low settings at the very least they look like something from back in
2010 so if you can try to keep the settings
on medium or above that's my recommendation but still
you will want to have high-end hardware to get the most out of this game
though if you've got the hardware and you've got the ability to turn the
graphics up and get a decent playable experience
then this game really does come to life even just flying around in this plane
on my beautiful home city of the gold coast things like reflections off the
windows and then outside just the lights coming
on really are reminiscent of flying at night in a plane like it's
scary how sort of realistic this game can get
however this is for me personally where this game sort of
does have that initial wow factor but it's really is geared up towards someone
who is so enthusiastic about flying me
personally i sort of just benchmarked it for you guys
i've built a pc up but my passion doesn't lie in flying so
i'm probably just gonna maybe jump into this game
for a couple more days and then i'm pretty much
done with it unless there's some really cool sort of like
jet fighter stuff that i can kind of get into and maybe try and do some top gun
stuff and uh pretend like i'm back in the
1980s in that tom cruise film but if someone's got like a top gun wingman
package i would love to check it out please link
it in the description below because i think that would be the most
fun thing for me in this game or if you've got
some kind of dog fights that you can have going on that would be really cool
or if it's just strictly flight simulators only because
yeah i kind of just i get bored and then i start trying to do tricks and i end up
just doing some really bad crashes like
you're seeing on the screen here the next up here is a game that
took me by surprise if you guys remember way back in the day there was
the original mech warrior and i actually played this on pc
and then i went into a lot of different other games as time went on and
now i'm coming back to this all these years later and there's mech warrior 5
aka mechwarrior 3015. now this game has rtx and when i was asked by nvidia
and gigabyte to do a pc build that featured rtx i was kind of like well i
want to play something that i actually enjoy
like the actual game before we even look at rtx
and this game really wasn't so enjoyable and then
if you want you've got the option to turn on the rtx features which of course
will drop the fps at 1080p here when we go from high
settings without rtx on to high settings with rtx on
we do drop a lot of fps roughly 30 but of course we do gain visual fidelity
from that and it just makes the game just more
immersive especially when there's a lot going on and believe me in this game
there is a lot going on it's extremely difficult to play where
you've constantly got to be moving strafing left and right
watching to make sure you don't overheat and then
making sure that you don't get overheated by the enemies just
laying into you too so even on like a difficulty of one
quarter this game is extremely difficult so i really impressed with this i
definitely want to play it more after i'm finished up with this video
because it's it's just that exciting and there we have it with the flight
simulator gaming pc that has rgb it actually ran the game
well from what i'm comparing it with other videos out there
and the 10600k at 5.1 gigahertz this is overclocked and the memory
speeds are clocked quite high so if you guys are serious about playing
flight simulator then you're probably gonna have to be
serious about the amount of money that gets extracted from your wallet
because this game is very taxing on the cpu side of things and also on the gpu
side too where even on low settings at 1080p
it's still utilizing a lot of resources from 2080 super
but one thing i've straight away realized from this game is you'll either
want to keep the settings between medium or ultra i find those two presets are
the best in terms of visual experience but then if you're in a really heavy
city with lots of cars moving and lots of stuff going on
in big buildings then it will tax the fps even on one of
these setups we had today which is kind of like the
best hardware you can throw at it and we were still going into like 30 fps
where if we dropped it into medium settings we then gained a lot more fps
and then depending on the map so when i was flying on the gold coast the
fps was a lot better so depending on the country and the
flight route you take you will get a lot more fps going down
and dropping the settings but then dropping down the settings to
low showed us that the graphics between low and medium
the presets was absolutely huge so my advice would be if you can stick to
medium preset over low and if you can also take it up to ultra
then you're going to gain a bit more visual fidelity over medium
and then high end i found that was very close to ultra but ultra didn't tax it a
whole lot more than the high settings though another
thing i've learned from microsoft flight simulator is that
you should never ask me to be your pilot because i'm hopeless at flying both in
the pilot seat at least in this game and when it comes to being a passenger
irl i'm not a big avid enthusiast of flying and it's funny
because neither is dead man he's always sort of just
never really wanted to fly too much so that said if you are getting into flying
or you're a pilot then you can lose yourself in this game
for most likely days months or even years because it is just
massive where you can make your own custom flight routes fly over different
areas of the world so it's definitely impressive what
microsoft have done here with this game in terms of the gameplay itself though
the optimization of the game itself does leave a little bit to be desired
i see a lot of people comparing this game to crisis on the internet
and it definitely is similar in terms of needing
high-end hardware to run it properly just like crysis did but
if i look back at crisis 3 specifically that game
was very well optimized on the cpu side at least from
my memory where it would max out the gpu at 100 a lot of the times
even on ultra settings on this game i couldn't see
most the time my gpu sitting at 99 percent near 100 percent
and so that means that there is a little bit more to be desired
in terms of optimization on the cpu side and we've got a 10 600 k here
overclocked to 5.1 gigahertz with some high speed memory too so
one thing about this game is if you do want to get the most fps possible
then you definitely want to get an overclockable cpu combo
with a good cooler and start getting into the world of overclocking
especially if you're going to sink hours and hours of time into this thing
then it will give you a nice sizable boost
so after that i jumped into the mech 3015 and that was a lot of fun
especially the difficulty i found this game very difficult to play like it had
a lot going on where if you're looking for a i guess a
hard to play mech game that's got the ray tracing
involved and it's got all the graphics and it
looks really good and plays really well then i can recommend this game it's
definitely a lot of fun and then because i'm on my first month
of game pass i saw the new battle toads there
and i started to jump into that and start playing that for a bit
so the game's definitely on this platform at least if you're going to
join for just say a three month stint you're
going to get a lot of value worth out of that game pass in
the first three months at least anyway so
there's some really good games on the platform they're not just cheap crappy
games that no one's playing anymore these are games that are really like in
demand and have a high price tag so it's good to see microsoft doing some
good with not just flight simulator but also the game pass itself anyhow if
you guys enjoyed today's video then be sure to hit that like button also if you
want to build a pc similar to this then i will leave some links in the
description below for you and let us know in the comment section below have
you played microsoft's flight simulator 2020 yet if
so what did you think of it are you into flying yourself unlike me
love reading your thoughts and opinions as always just like this question of the
day here which comes from mario stabik and they ask hi i have a question is it
worth to upgrade from the 750 ti to the gtx
1050 ti i have a feeling that is not much of a
difference and at first i was going to say
no but then i thought about it a bit more and the temper ti
is actually a sizeable upgrade over the 750 ti
though i wouldn't go out and pay market rates for a 1050 ti
because they're currently in my opinion quite overpriced where
a lot of people at least where i live are just going out and buying 1650
supers brand new off the shelf because a lot of
people are trying to ask too much for a 1050 ti so
if you can get one for a really good deal locally whether it's off a friend
or off someone in the marketplace locally where you are
then you can snap it up and you will get a sizeable boost but if you're looking
for market rate prices i'd either stick to say an rx 470
which can be really cheap on the used market or go with the 1650 super
because i'm guessing you're going with a 750 ti or a 1080 ti
you've probably got a rig that doesn't have a high powered sue in there
or a leaser in there and you um are looking to
looking just to get a quick and easy upgrade so hopefully that answers that
question and if you guys have stayed this far and
you're enjoying that content you want to see at the moment it drops
monitors just run out again that's a weird one that's two videos in a row now
if you want to see the content the moment it drops be sure to hit that sub
button and ring that bell and i'll catch you in another tech video
very soon peace out for now bye
