Gladiator SuperNova (i5 Kaby Lake) System Review

Dominic Moass January 20, 2017 Featured Announcement, Gaming PC, Reviews

For ‘idle’ power draw, a reading was taken after having Windows open on the desktop for 30 minutes. A reading under load was taken with Prime 95’s SmallFFt test running alongside 3DMark Fire Strike.

As you can see, the SuperNova pulls barely a third of the CS650M's rated capacity when the system is under 100% load. This ensures good efficiency, as well as a near-silent PSU fan. It would also mean there is enough headroom for SLI in the future, but sadly the GTX 1060 does not support SLI in the first place so that is not an option.

Games Emulation

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
