Corsair One ELITE Review (W/ i7-8700K and GTX 1080 Ti)

For this test, we ran the Corsair One Elite through Time Spy, Fire Strike and Fire Strike Extreme. We have listed results for the overall score, the CPU only score, the GPU-only score and physics.

Corsair One Elite 3D Mark

Corsair One Elite 3D Mark 2

The GTX 1080 Ti is a powerful graphics card that demonstrates its ability keenly in these 3D Mark tests.

Its Fire Strike result of 22,735 opens up a huge lead over the admittedly cheaper MSI Trident 3 machine, and it also proves quicker than the Mesh Liquid system. In the tougher Extreme and Ultra tests, the Corsair maintained its lead.

The Corsair also outpaced its predecessor in every test, with a healthy gap between this system’s GTX 1080 Ti and last year’s GTX 1080.

The only two PCs that beat the Corsair were the two PC Specialist machines that have GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards with beefy overclocks – and, even then, they weren’t far ahead.

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.
