OcUK Ultima Finesse Blackhole Gaming PC Review

3DMark

We used 3DMark‘s ‘Fire Strike’ benchmark which is designed to be used on gaming PCs. We opted for the Normal setting, NOT the Extreme mode.

We have already reviewed Intel's Haswell-E Core i7 5820K and found it to be notably quicker than the slightly cheaper 4790K. Those same findings hold true when OcUK's X99-based machine is pitted against Z97-based contenders.

3DMark heavily rewards the Ultima Finesse Blackhole for its pair of GTX 970 graphics cards – the Fire Strike score hit almost 17,000 points. Quad-channel, albeit relatively slow and with loose timings, memory gives the Blackhole a distinct advantage when it comes to pure memory bandwidth.
