There is very little to separate the graphics cards in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Once again 1080p and 1440p play very nicely while 4K is pushing the limits.
Performance overview
The message here is crystal clear; PC Specialist’s Fnatic PC can storm through games at 1080p and should be able to manage 1440p without problem. If it can also play your chosen game at 4K then you should consider that as a bonus.
Cooling Performance
Cooling Performance Overview
Under extreme load using AIDA64 we saw the CPU run at 76 degrees in AIDA 64 with 82W CPU package power, which demonstrates the 120mm AIO cooler was working satisfactorily well.
The reference RX 5700 XT graphics card hit a temperature of 74 degrees in Time Spy and 79 degrees in AIDA64 which is acceptable, however we can expect temperatures around ten degrees cooler when the graphics card is made by a company such as Sapphire. This would be a significant upgrade by PC Specialist and we urge them to make the change.
Noise Levels
Under load you can clearly hear the six Corsair LL120 fans working hard. If you use a headset this won't be an issue but you can expect to annoy anyone who is sitting near you when you have a gaming session.
