CyberPower has packed the latest and greatest gaming hardware in their Ultra 5090 Custom Gaming PC. At the centre we have a mighty MSI GeForce RTX 5090 32G Suprim SOC which is supported by an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D on an MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi motherboard. Add in 64GB of fast DDR5 Kingston memory with 4TB of Gen 5 Corsair SSD and the result is bonkers gaming performance along with the expected hefty price tag that creeps past £5k.

Performance and Testing: System
Cinebench 2024 Multi Core
In Cinebench 2024 Multi Core we see the CyberPower system running at exactly the same level we saw in our review of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This is what we expect to see and reinforces the point that the Ryzen 7 is a mid-level CPU for general compute duties.
Cinebench 2024 Single Core
Cinebench 2024 Single Core shows more of the same behaviour. The CPU and PC do well but land slap in the middle of the chart.
Geekbench 6 Multi Core
Geekbench 6 Multi Core yields no surprises with the CyberPower delivering the expected level of performance, once again landing in the middle of the chart.
AIDA64 Memory Bandwidth
In AIDA64 we see decent Memory Bandwidth that are helped by CyberPower's choice of Kingston Fury Renegade DDR5 6400 where we used DDR5 6000 in our Zen 5 reviews.
Performance and Testing: Gaming
3D Mark Time Spy
Moving on to gaming tests we start with the synthetic 3D Mark Time Spy which shows a great result for the CyberPower. This is an unfair competition as our test PC is using the MSI RTX 5090 where the other systems had an RTX 4090 and the results speak for themselves.
Far Cry 6 at 1440p
Far Cry 6 at 1440p delivers a fine result for the CyberPower, thanks to the combination of Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU and RTX 5090 graphics.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora shows a smaller margin of victory for the RTX 5090 PC however a win is a win and the performance is stellar.
Assassin's Creed Mirage
Assassin's Creed Mirage runs at breakneck speed at 1440p on this CyberPower system and the MSI RTX 5090 does a fine job.
Total War Pharaoh
We finish with Total War Pharaoh which gives a huge frame rate beyond 300fps at 1440p. Wow.
The specification of this CyberPower Ultra 5090 Custom Gaming PC is dominated by the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 32G Suprim SOC graphics card in terms of price, performance, power draw, thermals and aesthetics. In essence the rest of the hardware exists to support the graphics and if you don't intend to use the full grunt of the RTX 5090 in 4K gaming we have to wonder exactly what plans you might have.
We added up the cost of the parts in this PC and hit a total of £4,850 inc VAT which is heavily weighted by the huge cost of the MSI Suprim SOC and feel the price of the PC at £5,299 with warranty represents decent value for money.
The quality of the build carried out by CyberPower is absolutely fine, the end results are good and we have zero causes for complaint with their work.
Our two issues start with the enormous cost which is due to the choice of MSI RTX 5090. If you can find a Founders Edition you will save at least £500, but of course if you choose a lesser graphics card you will save even more and will have a completely different PC.
Our second concern is that right now the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU is the obvious choice for gamers, however in the next few weeks we will see the launch of Ryzen 9 9950X3D which will likely deliver the same gaming performance as the Ryzen 7 but with better all-round performance. Watch this space for reviews.
You can buy the CyberPower Ultra 5090 Custom Gaming PC for £5,299.20 inc VAT HERE.
Pros:
- Very high gaming performance.
- Effective cooling for all the hardware.
- Plenty of scope for future upgrades.
Cons:
- Epic price tag.
- AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is coming soon.
- Loads of power, loads of heat..
