Will definitely become sentient one day
I’m currently in that exciting rush of upgrading my gaming PC. I’ve picked out the parts, and I’m waiting for it to be delivered, and I’m super excited to have a PC strong enough to handle even the most intensive upcoming games. Seriously, it’s going to berad.
And then I see this $30k gaming PC, wonder why I bothered, and slink away to cry in a corner.
The result was probably the most intensive gaming PC I’ve ever seen. Using two 14-core CPUs, a total of 256GB of RAM, and seven high-end video cards, this would bewayoverkill for regular gaming use. This is one of those things that someone builds just because they can.
I want to see how it handles something likeThe Witcher 3when all of its power is focused onto a single game. Plenty of games these days don’t handle multiple video cards or large amounts of RAM very well, so seeing how this machine scales down to running only one Windows at a time would be interesting.
Linus doesn’t give a definitive price, probably because the parts were donated by their various manufacturers, so I’ve done a quick and rough price breakdown usingthe part listhe released on his forums:
Total cost:$27,220.64
At last, there is finally a PC that could potentially runArkham Knightat a playable framerate!
