Building The Ultimate 4K Gaming PC 2016 - Part 3

The Benchmark Numbers You Can Expect from this Gaming Computer

Those are the Benchmark numbers you can expect to get from this gaming computer and they are very impressive even when you're only using a single card in games like Batman Arkham Knight. However, we don't stop there. This is the part where we talk about the actual real-world game performance and what it's like to use this PC with both G-Sync monitors, TVs, and Ultra wides.

The Rog Swift 4K G-Sync Experience

When you pair it with the Skylight build, and it's really impressive. It genuinely is. Don't for it's got an IPS panel as well, even games like Batman Arkham Knight that only utilize a single card with Gsync you can still get some pretty smooth and stutter-free gameplay. And anything where you're going to want to use a controller, this is my go-to monitor of choice. It really is. Having said that if you want to play mouse and keyboard games like Civilization, this is still going to be the best place to do it. 4K super Sharp Images really do come into their own, however, if you want to play a mouse and keyboard first-person shooter in 4K, it's simply too demanding in my opinion, and even 60 Hz is not enough for me, and I would probably rather play at 120 Hz on a monitor with a lower resolution.

Moving Over to the Ultra Wide Camp

We have an ACA running at 85 Hz at a resolution of 3440 x 440 on an IPS display, and the experience in the right title really can be pretty breathtaking. Because we've got two cards running SLI, we can really push some pixels sadly, it's the same story as Batman Arkham Knight with just CA 3 though, where we only get the benefits of one card. But I believe SLI might come in the future. Having said that, it still fares really well, and we can get some nice high frame rates, and have your games looking amazing.

Getting the Most out of an Ultrawide Display

To get the most out of an ultrawide display, I think you really do have to start playing some racing games. The immersion that you get from an ultrawide display is probably my favorite place to play these games rather than say a 4K TV or a 4K monitor, and of course, they're a bit easier to run as well. So, you're going to be able to push every single pixel at a really high frame rate on your ultrawide display. But my absolute favorite experience with the Skylight build has to be with the Rog Swift 1065 Hz G-Sync IPS display. It is truly mesmerizing how smooth Call of Duty Black Ops plays when you put it on this monitor. SLI is supported correctly, and the experience is just amazing. It really is.

The Importance of Monitor Choice

Everything is buttery smooth, there's no stutter, there's no tearing, and it's just the game you are in the game. And properly immersed if you switch over to Star Wars Battlefront, it's a very similar story, you get a very high frame rate, and this is where having two 980s comes in handy rather than having two 980 TI throw two 980 TI in here and you're not really going to see much of a benefit. This would cost you an extra £300.

One Last Experience

This is gaming bliss but I have one more experience to talk to you about, and that's the Skylight build plugged into over HDMI 2.0 to a 4K TV. Once again, boot up Batman Arkham Knight, and it looks fantastic, but of course, we're not going to see the benefits of SLI here, and you might be wondering why are you testing Batman Arkham Knight if you know it doesn't support SLI, that's the point if you're getting into SLI, you're going to need to know that there will be drawbacks.

The Skylight Build on a 4K TV

Boot up The Witcher III though, and the experience is so so good. It really is having such a large epic game on a bigger screen I think really does help to magnify how good the game looks. But because we don't have G-Sync, we are going to see stutter and tearing, and you're going to want to run your game at C 60 frames a second. And so with that, it brings us towards the end of the video, sadly the end of the series.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwelcome to the scarc build in this three-part series we'll show you everything you need to create the most ultimate gaming PC as well as show you how it's done if you've ever wanted to get into PC gaming or whether you want to ramp it up with some 4K gsync gaming this is the place to start in this video part three we're turning on the Skylock build and showing you exactly what it's capable of yes it's beautiful both inside and out but it's more about what it can produce on screen that really makes the difference and really is why this is an ultimate gaming computer we'll be benchmarking this PC with both synthetic benchmarks as well as real world games that way we'll show you exactly how you can expect this thing to perform at both 4K and 1440p resolutions but that's not all we're using a whole host of different screens to show exactly what this thing is capable of no matter how we want to use it so how do we start benchmarking an ultimate gaming PC we use the most ultimate Benchmark we can find which is of course fir strike Ultra which is a 4K Benchmark that absolutely tortures your gaming PC and this thing smashed it with a score of 5,716 very impressive we also ran a 1080p Benchmark and this was the unen valley extreme HD benchmark Mark and we got a score of 4,800 running the same settings for at 4K and we got around 40 frames a second though this wasn't properly benchmarks moving on to the real world game benchmarks we started with Batman Arkham Knights and we managed to get a score of 79 frames per second at 1440p and a 31 frames per second average at 4K this was tested using the built-in benchmarking tool which somehow we managed to fail and die at it's important to note that Batman Arkham only used one card as SLI is not supported on this title next on the list was dirt rally and this is the code Master's latest and greatest rally racing title and we managed to get 121 frames a second average at 1440p and 9 at 4K with gsync enabled this got a very smooth experience and now moving over to the firsters shooter Corner we have Star Wars Battlefront and to Benchmark this I use my usual 60-second clip from the Survival on Endor Mission and in terms of numbers we got 124 frames a second at 1440p and 40 at 4K I would advise taking the 4K number with a slight pinch of salt as the frame rate seem to drop unusually low during the cut scene portion of the Benchmark but obviously it's a set Benchmark I do so I didn't want to change it during just normal gameplay you can expect to get about 60 and so there you have it those are the Benchmark numbers you can expect to get from this gaming computer and they are very impressive even when you're only using a single card in games like Batman Arkham Knight however we don't stop there this is the part where we talk about the actual real world game performance and what it's like to use this PC with both g-sync monitors TVs and Ultra wides and so let's start by talking about the Rog Swift 4K g-sync experience when you pair it with the Skylight build and it's really impressive it genuinely is it blows me away how good this thing looks because don't for it's got an IPS panel as well even games like Batman Arkham Knight that only utilize a single card with gsync you can still get some pretty smooth and stutter-free gameplay and anything where you're going to want to use a controller this is my go-to monitor of choice it really is having said that if you want to play mouse and keyboard games like Civilization this is still going to be the best place to do it 4K super Sharp Images really do come into their own however if you want to play a mouse and keyboard firstperson sh 4K is simply too demanding in my opinion and even 60 HZ is not enough for me and I would probably rather play at 120 HZ on a monitor with a lower resolution but more on that in a minute moving over to the ultra wide camp we have an ACA running at 85 HZ at resolution of 3440 x440 on an IPS display and the experience in the right title really can be pretty breathtaking and because we've got two cards running an SLI we can really push some pixels sadly

well and we can get some nice high frame rates and have your games looking amazing to get the most out of an ultrawide display in my opinion though I think you really do have to start playing some

run as well so you're going to be able to push every single Pixel at a really high frame rate on your ultrawide display but my absolute favorite experience with the sky build has to be with the Rog
