Now let’s look at our graphics card results. Looking at 3DMark Time Spy we can see the system performed well overall and excelled in the CPU part of the test.
3DMark Fire Strike also shows great scores across the board here too, excelling in the physics portion of the test.
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra saw the same consistency but once again keeping those physics scores very high.
Now let’s move onto some real-world gaming examples. As I mentioned at the start of the review, I’ll be comparing the test results from this system against the Cyberpower system that is almost £1000 cheaper to show you what performance to expect from a much cheaper system but with similar specs.
Forza Horizon 5, Ultra preset saw us hit 115 FPS average and 94 FPS for the 1% low at 1080p, and still performs well at 1440p with 95 FPS average and 81 FPS for the 1% low. However, when we look at the Cyberpower system's results, they’re almost identical. We see a dip of 3 FPS average in both 1080p and 1440p.
Gears 5, Ultra preset and vsync set to off, held up well almost getting 156fps at 1080p and it’s not too far behind at 1440p too. Looking at the Cyberpower system we do see a larger drop in FPS here with 15 FPS less in 1080p and 9 FPS less in 1440p but that’s not a significant drop in my eyes for the price difference.
The Division 2 is usually quite a tough one on GPUs, but at 1080p we got a solid 150 average and didn’t go below 100 FPS in the 1% lows either. In 1440p as it stays just above 100FPS average. Again, the Cyberpower system is hot on its heels though with just 13 FPS less in 1080p and just 7 FPS less in 1440p.
Now a game that is demanding is of course Shadow of the Tomb Raider, on Highest settings with Vsync off we saw excellent results with 156 fps at 1080p and 110 at 1440p. Comparing the Cyberpower results we see, once again, it’s very close. 9 FPS less in 1080p and 5 FPS less in 1440p.
Lastly, our final game was DOOM Eternal and as you’re probably expecting we get a great performance here with a huge 270FPS at 1080p and just shy of 215 FPS at 1440p. This sees our biggest dip in FPS when comparing the systems though with the Cyberpower coming in with 37 FPS less at 1080p but only 18 FPS less at 1440p. Despite that both systems achieve amazing results here.
Overall, both systems here are incredibly capable as modern gaming machines and as you can see, the £1000 cheaper Cyberpower system really kept up with the custom system from Box. Are you surprised by these results? We’ll talk about this more towards the end before the conclusion.
