Asus G11DF Gaming Desktop - Hands On Review

The ACS G11 DF is one of the cheapest gaming desktops you can buy, actually it's about as low as you can go without seeing some major cuts to gaming performance, still it's not exactly cheap so let's see what you get for that thousand dollars.

Our review model features an AMD Ryzen 5 1400 processor clocked at 3.2 gigahertz eight gigabytes of RAM and NVIDIA GTX 1060. A 256 gigabyte SSD and a one terabyte hard drive internally, it's a little cramped but that's to be expected for PC of this size.

There's one extra Ram slot for future expansion but to upgrade the graphics card you will have to remove the internal brackets which kept the hardware in place during shipping. Asus claims the G11 DF features an exterior design with Mayan like markings, but really it just looks like a gaming rig from the mid-2000s.

Luckily it's a small desktop so you can cram it under your desk and out of sight easily enough. The i/o is fairly standard if a bit limited, the case features four USB ports, an SD card on the front side, and six USB ports, an Ethernet port, and the USB type-c port on the back side along with three audio input/output ports.

With a GTX 1060 this thing performs as well as it should. You'll be able to run most new games on high or ultra settings at 1080p without any problems though you might need to tune your settings a little to get the most out of brand-new games in Battlefield One, the G11 DF managed about 77 frames per second on ultra high settings at 1080p.

It slowed down a bit at 1440p topping out at 51 frames per second on ultra high settings. That's about what we'd expect from a system running a GTX 1060 good reliable performance but nothing to write home about, thanks to the rise in Sport cores and mate thread it won't slow you down no matter how many spreadsheets you have open at once.

The Asus G11 DF also comes with a keyboard and mouse which is a plus if you're just getting into PC gaming. But if you already have a mouse and keyboard chances are they're higher quality and probably feel better in the hand, these aren't exactly high-end gaming peripherals at $1000 you could do a lot worse than the Asus G11 DF.

It runs the latest games well enough and it keeps up beautifully during everyday use so if you're not quite ready to jump into the deep end the G11s will be well worth your time.
