Performance: Gaming Benchmarks

To measure the PCSpecialist Vortex S3 performance during gaming sessions, we ran a series of tests from a selection of current, popular games using their built-in benchmarks, testing both DirectX 11 and 12 performance where applicable.

The RTX 2070 Super installed inside the Vortex S3 records performance levels roughly as we expected. At 1080p (1920 x 1080) resolution, most games produce over 100 FPS, even with ultra quality settings applied. 1440p (2560 x 1440) gaming will also offer high frame rates in most current AAA titles. However, to maintain over 100 FPS, graphics setting may need to be dialled back a little.

4K (3840 x 2160) gaming, even on high-end PCs often becomes difficult to maintain high FPS levels, especially with the eye candy turned up. We again see this pattern with the Vortex S3, the more demanding games struggle to reach an average of 60 FPS at 4K and ultra graphics presets. Therefore, either 1080p or 1440p is our recommended resolution for gaming with this system and paired with a high refresh rate monitor, it should be a smooth gaming experience at these resolutions.
