The Performance of the Intel Skull Trail with an NVIDIA Titan RTX and GTX 1060

It works, yeah it does work you could play this, yeah it's not a great experience no we're definitely not getting the most out of our titan rtx. Time for our last game, the appropriately named Doom oh yeah, we can probably play ping pong no i'm trying to snipe the corner there i think it's my serve well actually we just got to the main screen wow that was just launching the game that's fantastic.

Okay so we're vulcan ultra 1440p hey that looks better this is actually not that bad now it's not great to be clear and you can also really see like the gpus serving frames about every three to four milliseconds and the cpu is taking about every 20 or so. That is what is known as a severe cpu bottleneck, yeah i'm pretty confident that if we put like a 1060 into this the performance is going to be exactly the same low ammo yes glory killed like this is actually quite playable.

Given how bottlenecked we are, I guess that's the point of this then yeah, I'm very confident that we'll get the same performance with a 1060 as we did with the titan. So we were looking at about 50 to 60 frames per second in that level of doom so why don't we fire it up with a gtx 1060 and see if we're looking about the same okay, and that's it.

Fire it up yeah, i mean it's now a good opportunity to talk about what this is actually for sure. I made this because it's the first sensor that I could find there, we go and I think it's just running right now so going back to what I said earlier, what have you had to eat today? uh, I had a subway sandwich and a crepe this morning hmm.

So I have built a fart detector so this light right here turns on when this detects methane gas fascinating. So is the main benefit of this then that you can program your arduino on the machine that also contains your arduino yeah, and I think it would be really useful if you're doing like iot stuff and you just had your arduino like stuffed behind a mirror or something in your house and you could just have ethernet going to it and then you could change everything right on your little computer from far away.

Now the intent was to use this in the bathroom right but it's not sensitive enough yeah, so we wanted to make the bathroom that never smells so instead of turning a light on like on a breadboard it would turn it on outside of the bathroom and turn the fans on so you'd know like someone really dropped a bomb in there yeah, but the problem is that methane only about 50 of people really produce it when they flatulate so you want what is it um dihydrogen oxide or dihydrogen sulfide there we go which it turns out is really hard to get sensitive sensors for got it that are like cheap so it would have been like two grand or something dumb like that, is that worth it? I don't know maybe like I have definitely like walked into the bathroom and it's some unfortunate times recently so and there we are.

We're running at anywhere from 50 to 60 frames per second exactly the same as we were on the rtx titan that's pretty brutal. So that my friends is what a cpu bottleneck looks like you install a graphics card that's literally half the performance and you get zero change in fps so all that's left for this video then is to light up that blue light, is it weird to message the group chat if anyone like has gas today? yes but I think that if you acknowledge that it's weird it's fine. Okay, all right well no one heated our call so it also detects propane and butane so we're just gonna blow some gas at it.

So if you guys are into this kind of like iot maker stuff we actually have a really cool video coming on pie hole which is a way of using a raspberry pi as a better than a normal ad blocker ad blocker, so uh make sure you're subscribed speaking of being subscribed if you're subscribed to this channel this segway probably won't surprise you at all.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ennow this doesn't look very much like a macbook because it's actually the latte panda alpha but in terms of the actual hardware on this thing it is nearly identical to the 2015 macbook so it's got a dual core intel processor eight gigs of ram and what's very interesting is that it has two pci express expansion slots on it so we're going to be using one of those for storage and the other to simulate what it would be like if you could hook a titan rtx graphics card up to a 2015 macbook bottleneck city here we come oh yeah oh speaking of bottlenecks this segway was bottlenecked by me not remembering who the sponsor is ruggable rugs are machine washable spill and stain resistant and they're non-toxic they're great for protecting your hardwood floors and with code fun linus 15 you can get 15 off your order and free shipping at the link below they're available in the us and canada now the latte panda alpha is more than just you know the original macbook on a single pcb here in fact it's not intended for what we're going to be using it for today at all do you want to walk us through some of the things that make this particular device kind of special here i don't know i guess there's only really two things it's really small and there's an arduino right here along with rs there's a 232 and just a bunch of general input output stuff so what this is is effectively like the same kind of computer as uh something like a raspberry pi where everything is very very embedded so there's your micro st expansion there's your display output with a little nice little ribbon cable there and all that good stuff except it is way more powerful so this thing runs a core m3 7y30 cpu like i said before eight gigs of ram and there it is on the back the magic special sauce we're going to be using today the dual m.2 adapters in terms of the rest of the i o we've got touch interface for the display intel wireless over here nice got that rj45 ethernet this hdmi port can do up to 4k 60 which is really nice to see we've also got a headphone jack usb type c and over on the other side three usb 3 type a's cooling is taken care of by this heatsink fan up here and that's pretty much it so we can go ahead and uh get this thing set up on our box test bench here shall we yeah sounds good to me what what you doing yes we have the same shirt on do do we want to address that or just keep going lttstore.com that's the good stuff right there literally costs more than 2x the entire rest of the computer literally so let's see here this is my old nemesis the exp gdc beast that thing's back yeah this thing's back we had so much trouble with this thing the first time we tried to do a project with it and by we i mean alex yeah it turns out that although it uses an m.2 adapter the signal is kind of crap so depending on what laptop you put it in and how long the traces are between the m.2 key and the cpu it can just not work sometimes for no reason okay so we want to use our m.2 key m for our graphics card is that correct yeah and so this is where the keen among you have probably realized that we have a bit of an issue because that is not an m.2 key or it is an m.2 key yeah but it's not an m it's not an m key yeah it's a m.2 key e so anything that you would want to put in there basically you can't the main difference between a key m and a key e m.2 is actually the number of well aside from the number of pci express lanes the position of the notch so there's a notch right here to ensure that you don't plug the wrong thing into the wrong slot and the key e ah so the notch is way over here now key m is intended for things like nvme storage and in this case our adapter to this pci express 16x slot which should theoretically now have a 4x worth of bandwidth key e is generally used for like wi-fi cards so obviously we're not going to have any storage if we don't find a way to put an ssd in here there actually are 32 gigabytes of storage on the latte panda but that's enough not enough for like a game or anything so oh well we could have just plugged an external drive in and ran our steam library off that that would been slow no that would have been perfectly fast you mean we waited around for this adapter for nothing i didn't know it had storage on it it has storage on it well speaking of waiting around we had to wait around because like you'd think that this would work it's a wi-fi adapter to pci slot thing yeah you use that use this guy right here plug it in like so you'd think it would work but it just doesn't okay cool which is why we need this right here did you just like stash pieces of this project all over the room yes all right so this is from syntek electronic co-limited and it appears to be an e key to m key adapter this is definitely increasing the bulk of our solution a little bit but if it works then i'll be i'll be pretty pleased curiously even though latte panda has a key e here which normally is actually used with short cards like this one they don't actually have like a mounting spot for it they've got an 80 millimeter mounting spot just like if you were to plug in an ssd what were they thinking um i just turned it over and figured that gravity would keep it in good guy gravity all right so now that we've got our single board computer our unnecessary storage and our pci express slot all that we need to do now is plug in our 330 watt power brick to the beast here look at this thing it's awesome so then we get power for our car have you noticed a problem here yeah we need two eight pins yeah let me guess you stashed it in a drawer somewhere oh do you want to know where it is can you find it okay um not in the banana cup not in there no you're like way off we can play hot and cold if you want you're getting hotter much hotter and a bit hotter you know you're getting colder now you're getting colder in your pocket no it's not okay you're like pretty close that's no you're you're colder now do you want me to just get it for you this is painful yeah oh we need a second yeah we have a whole power supply so then can i summarize for the people at home now yep we've got the single board computer with the e key to m key adapter for the unnecessary storage we've got the m-key 2 pci express slot adapter for our titan rtx now the beast down here is powered by this dell power brick and then the plugs at the top of the card are handled by this seasonic prime gold power supply 850 watts now we can turn it on well that's not plugged in but other than that yeah type c power and i'm assuming this is the power button here yep hey there we go nice okay so now it's just time for gaming yeah you know what i don't see anything wrong in the menus so far yeah it's going not bad everything here seems fine i'll just hit r and go the uh the fan's definitely ramping up though yeah so you might have noticed that we have a ping pong table over here yeah i did uh that's because the loading times are absolutely atrocious so we're supposed to play games while we wait for our video games yeah there's no point in like just sitting in front of it like now my understanding is you're actually pretty good at ping pong i'm like not bad oh nice shot ah oh it's loaded now that's actually not that bad yeah it's not great i was running these settings on an rtx 2080 mobile with a mobile core i9 and i was getting about anywhere from double to triple that this part's not bad with fewer people in the scene it's actually keeping up a little bit better the part that i'm more concerned about is you can see some real stutters like that like it says 50 but it's like the frame times are not necessarily keeping up here yeah it gets pretty hot yeah it actually smells hot you know like the smell of hot electronics not really so technically we got a benchmark score there uh but i get the feeling that this is kind of where the system wasn't running properly okay we're going to call that a fail oh wow our cpu was pinned at 100 the whole time yeah holy banana sacks okay you want to go ahead and fire up game number two all right well we have city skylines here this is a trip this is even more cpu intensive yeah also ram what are you trying to do to this poor thing we're pushing its limits you could say cities on the brink of bankruptcy except the bailout i just reject it reject the bailout yeah we're already 34 million dollars in the hole so i don't think there's much coming back wow this is running at crud-tastic details how's it doing about the same as before looks like about 10 fps 15 fps that might have been no it might have been more like 18 or so yeah i've seen worse but like it works yeah it does work you could play this yeah it's not a great experience no we're definitely not getting the most out of our titan rtx time for our last game the appropriately named doom oh yeah we can probably play ping pong no i'm trying to snipe the corner there i think it's my serve well actually we just got to the main screen wow that was just launching the game that's fantastic okay so we're vulcan ultra 1440p hey that looks better this is

on a breadboard it would turn it on outside of the bathroom and turn the fans on so you'd know like someone really dropped a bomb in there yeah but the problem is that methane only about 50 of people really produce it when they flatulate so you want what is it um dihydrogen oxide or dihydrogen sulfide there we go which it turns out is really hard to get sensitive sensors for got it that are like cheap so it would have been like two grand or something dumb like that is that worth it i don't know maybe like i have definitely like walked into the bathroom and it's some unfortunate times recently
