Where possible I’ve compared our results against the PCSpecialist Gladius i7 system that Luke reviewed last year. At the time of his review the system cost £2000 and the specs are:
- Intel Core i7-10700K, an 8-core CPU with base clocks of 3.8GHz and boost of 5.1GHz
- 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 RAM
- 10GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080
- 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus PCIe NVMe SSD
- Corsair RM750x PSU
Of course, our system has slightly more grunt with our 12-core Ryzen 9 CPU vs the 8-core i7, and we not only have faster RAM but we also have double the capacity at 32GB 3600MHz vs 16GB 3200MHz.
Synthetic GPU tests against the PCSpecialist system with 3DMark Fire Strike show the 6800XT and 5900X take a strong lead, but the 3DMark Time Spy results are much closer, with the scores almost neck and neck.
As for real world gaming examples I tested at all of the above games at both 1080p and 1440p with the highest presets available and with V-sync turned off. As you can see from the results this system absolutely flies through all these games at both resolutions, even hitting 333 FPS in two of our games at 1080p! Our AMD RX 6800 XT graphics card can definitely handle itself throughout a variety of games and would be a great pairing for a high refresh-rate 1440p monitor.
