3DMark is Futuremark’s latest benchmark. It can be used to benchmark and compare everything from mobile devices, such as smart phones, tablets and laptops, to high-end gaming systems. The benchmark is available for Windows, Windows RT Android and iOS.
With 3 separate tests, each of which is intended to be used alongside a specific classification of hardware, 3DMark is a very versatile benchmark. Ice Storm is intended to be used with mobile devices, Cloud Gate is good for use with laptops and home PCs, and Fire Strike can be used to push the performance of gaming PCs.
We used the ‘Fire Strike’ benchmark which is designed to be used on gaming PCs. We opted for the Normal setting, NOT the Extreme mode.
Again we see impressive scores from the system in this test.
£1500 is very expensive for that really.
Yeah, not a great selection of components. especially the memory. thats not really forgiveable in 2013.
£1,500? I dont think so, I could build a much better system for that price.
Nothing I really like about that build, I normally like the pcspecialist builds you feature on this page, and the mesh one was even nice, but this ? nah. pass.
I am glad that didnt get an award, because its pants. The whole build looks like its sagging inside and the component selection is dire. unnamed memory? entry level PSU and poor cooling, for £1,500? serious? id have gave it 5 out of 10. not 7, but as I said, no award, so im letting you guys off with it.
TBH i would rather have a gaming laptop than a gaming pc these days.oo00 that reminds me i’ve just bought a samsung seris 7 gaming laptop.laptops for the win in my book 🙂
wow, thats a system I wouldnt have myself. a last gen SSD, crap memory and an entry level cooler master PSU? temps are terrible too.
Thats embarassing. thumbs down from me.
