She rebuilt her entire streaming setup, and loaded all of her assets and programs, and practiced/tested her presentation within days of a hard deadline… without dying of anxiety. That’s wild.
She's a mama, she's had to deal with hard deadlines before, getting an illustration done, getting the rigger to finish the rigging, presenting the final product to a client before their debut or redebut. That's the norm for these very hard working Live2D artists
I mean its definitely a worth it investment and as soon as the monetization and later memberships open she will make it back quickly and later on with the merch aswell.
@@vyor8837 it can happen when ur current one just isnt good enough and cant handle the load and to prevent further dmg PC will just crash etc so getting a better PC now as a whole is good too to sorta have a fully clean one with nothin slowing it down. And she can still use the old one for her personal stuff without being afraid of anythin "leakin/showin" by accident.
@@Inuyashaya8 it means, while you are chill, there are certain schizos in the world who might think it would be a good idea to track a vtuber down irl via that method. So people say it for those weirdos. It's unfortunate it has to be said at all
Good thing that she wasn't getting scam. I'll be drooling if my customer only knows how to throw money, but not how to prove if it was worth the price tag.
It would be good if Cover had a tech guy who maintains a hardware recommendation list for all of their talents so they know what to expect at what price.
Considering they need pretty good machines to work, it would be really good. Building a PC can be hard if you know very little, you might spend money on unnecessary parts, or just overbuild for no good reason. Sometimes PCs can also just... not work, for reasons only clear to the priests of the Machine Spirit. So it's good to have one in your tech company. As an initiate Adeptus Mechanicus i know how hard it can be... @@T33K3SS3LCH3N
@@T33K3SS3LCH3N though prices can change quite a bit, depending on sales, and the location of the talent a better option is to have some IT staff or some contract with some system integrator with providing pcs with maybe even a discount for the talents
I got a decent bonus this year at work and thought “heck yea time to update from my 1070ti, I’ll get a 4090”. Took one look at the price and said “ok 4070 it is” (they’re like $1700)
I was thinking of buying something along those lines as well at one point. That was before my sister's family dropped a gift card to my favorite IT store in my e-mail for my bday. Combined that with a bit more gift money and I ended up paying only 800 € (taxes included) for the cheapest 4080 Super.
@@vyor8837 Not entirely true. A lot of the performance advantages that Nvidia have are from the software side. Like DLSS, Ray tracing and so on. AMD certainly is doing well, and if they continue the same pace, no doubt they can surpass Nvidia
I remember watching the clips of Wtames Internet connection. Imagine having to move after debut cause your internet is garbage, that means packing everything up fast moving and then unpacking everything. I wonder how many of the JP girls helped probably quite a few.
@@depressedTrent To be fair she can alleys upgrade if she needs it for the monitors really depends on budged and if its necessary. Especially with space while running 3 monitors + a big drawing tablet and stream OBS set up having 3 big monitors to use the graphics cart to the full isn't really the priority.
Could be a really nice color calibrated monitor for her art related work. She's not that much of a hardcore gamer from what I've seen to want high frame rate. Though I do agree on what not at least 1440p for higher resolution work.
I mean it's not really the same as us casuals. Her PC is her business tool, so it's an investment. Better graphics and smoother gameplay for her streams mean higher viewer and revenue
I saw the title and had to watch this video. As someone who has built his first pc recently, I went with a 4090. I spent nearly a month researching and picking out parts, then like a week building it. Honestly, it was frustrating at times and a real pain, but I'm happy with the end results. It looks so nice, and there is just a special feeling you get knowing that you built yourself. The only thing that I'm not happy with is the pain my bank account is feeling. It's ain't cheap getting a beefy machine as I intend to use it for other than just gaming. It's also so much quieter than my last pc, which was from Dell.
Congrats on your new PC! I also built my first PC a year ago. I decided to go the midrange route and did a lot of research to make sure all the parts are compatible and I don't have any issues booting it up for the first time. I'm very proud of my build, there's some things that I would change, but honestly I learned a lot from my first time putting together a PC.
@@LadiesMan217.0 Thanks! Yeah, it is really important to check compatibility. I know when I had finished building mine, I was worried about it booting up to. The researching part was something as it felt like I was taking classes on computers, but it was classes that I enjoy unlike back in high school. I know what you mean about changes. I feel like a lot of PC builders feel that way that they could have done something different (me included), but as long as you're happy with the end result and it works, then it's definitely something to be happy about.
Both are the same the differents is you can pay less for the same and you can out in the things you need the most . I woud say for her a 4090 is the rar situation were it makes sens all the stuff running that need tones of Vram pluse playing a game on top
On the other hand, if you don't know what you're doing, you can easily break things. I've seen videos where a youtuber finds a viewer had connected a cable in the wrong connector which then fried one or more components. You really don't want to break anything expensive. Especially when you have a very short deadline.
I imagine her in that Daniel Radcliffe meme with handguns, except she's running up to the PC store with two Italian finger gestures up and just going "Gimme the best right now and fast!"
ahh okay.. so i came in around this timing and i didn't have context on what she was talking about... this clip was in the 30 minute mark from her start stream time
It's good to have some sort of nest egg, or a real job, when not a big name yet. She should get that investment back decently soon now that she's in Hololive.
She was decently well known artist in the Vtuber community and Mama to some pretty famous talent. So she was doing pretty good money on her commisions already. But debuting in Holo as she said is the big moment of your career and pretty much guranteed return on investment.
She doesn’t necessarily need a 4090, but at the same time, I don’t understand how Vtubers as professionals who are constantly using computers, don’t all have beefy computers.
@@ericp631 I mean, Raora happened to have upgraded at the beginning, but IIRC Suba and Watame had been doing it for a while with potato PCs before they upgraded.
You don't need a 4090 for that you need a better cpu with more cores. all the overlays take up cpu resources not gpu. if your video encoding or gaming then yes a better graphics card will help.
believe me (a vtuber rigger) a vtuber model is quite heavy to the gpu im currently with a r5 5600 and a RTX 3060 12gb and 32gb ram and my pc still suffer to run: game, obs with tons of overlays and scenes, vtuber model at 60 fps stream at 1080p 60fps and with an iphone tracking it still has even more work due to itunes app in the background 💀 i actually recomend most people to use a streaming dedicated pc to run obs and the vtuber model and a powerful one to games, it works way better and you dont rlly need a 4090 in this case just a medium GTX for the stream pc and a 3060 or 4060 to the gaming one to have good gaming quality
@@Cynderfluff so why do vtubers use an iPhone for their models? But it's a case by case and in her case she needs a better CPU id recommend thredripper. But if her model was the lag then yes but she said it was her background apps.
@@doriansanchez1961 iPhone camera can face-track you with the SoC that has that process accelerated. You just send the coordinates to your PC, so that the rig knows where your face is. Then the rig has to be transformed based on the coordinates. Doing face tracking on PC would be even heavier.
@@kaminekoch.7465 so my point still stands that you can use an iPhone which is less powerful than a PC. It's a case by case scenario. She said after turning on the overlays it started to lag that's a CPU issue she said it was a couple years old I can quarantine she was running an Intel i7 quad core. I had a friend that played great games but couldn't stream using an and quad core upgraded him to a six core and streaming while gaming had no issues.
She mentions she bought a whole new pc, not just a gpu, even if the gpu is what she is comfortable with revealing the most. If she spent all her savings on a prebuilt-pc that had a 4090 I'm willing to believe it'll probably have a more than adequate cpu alongside other things.
Most likely we are talking about a custom build, not just buying a ready-made one, no one will build you one of these in half a day and have it delivered to your home the next day. But in general I agree that 3 weeks is too much, a normal time would be about a week including receipt from the supplier, assembly, testing and delivery
