Rating: 7.5.

With the recent release of the new AMD RX 480 graphics card, system builders are keen to start shipping out PCs with the new GPU inside. We have already seen one such desktop with a RX 480 from PCSpecialist – review HERE – and today DinoPC have sent us their Primal GT0 rig for review. It boasts an FX-8320 CPU, Gigabyte 990X motherboard and 16GB RAM.

It has been a while since I have seen the FX-8320 CPU, so it will be interesting to see how it gets on with the latest games. Aesthetics are also emphasised within the DinoPC Primal GT0 – there are red, braided PSU extensions, an RGB LED strip and red LED fans in the roof of the case. All-in-all, it looks good so let's crack on with the review.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.

Why are there no FPS results shown for the other systems?

I know FX-8320 is kinda dated cpu and architecture, but that idle load power is way off the normal scale, usually these cpu’s idle at less than 100W total system draw.

Also the GTAV results seem weird as fuck, I’ve seen even FX-6300 get better FPS than that, let alone any of the 8 core FX cpus. So may that was a faulty unit?
