Aria GLADIATOR Sparta i5 4.40GHz Overclocked Bundle Review

According to EA, Battlefield 3 garnered 3 million pre-orders by the day of its release. It is unknown at present whether these figures are worldwide or just for the US. The pre-order total makes it “the biggest first-person shooter launch in EA history”, according to the publisher. The engine is beautiful on the PC and very demanding of the partnering hardware.

We used the game's demanding ‘Ultra' setting and a 1920 x 1080 resolution to push today's gaming hardware.

Due to being tested in an open-air environment where ambient temperatures are lower than those for the inside of a chassis, the Aria Gladiator Sparta i5 bundle's sneaky frame rate victory in Battlefield 3 is likely related to our GTX 760's higher boost frequency.

Even with the possibility of different GPU frequencies taken into account, the average frame rate difference between Aria's system bundle and our 4770K-based test system is less than 3%.
