The Power of Nvidia DLSS: A Benchmarking Experience like No Other

We've been eager to try out Nvidia's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology, and what better way to do so than with one of the most popular and graphically demanding games on the market - Modern Warfare 2. With our system consisting of a 4090 GPU paired with an AMD Ryzen 7000 Series CPU, we were excited to see how DLSS would perform.

We started by enabling DLSS on balance mode in Modern Warfare 2 and adjusting everything else to its highest settings. We then recorded the game using Nvidia ShadowPlay, allowing us to showcase exactly what our system was capable of. To further test the limits of our setup, we activated Benchmark mode, which pushed our system to achieve frame rates that were previously thought impossible.

As expected, DLSS worked its magic, allowing 4K resolution to become even more playable than it would have otherwise been. The frame rate skyrocketed, with average performance reaching an astonishing 200 frames per second. To put this into perspective, the game's frame rates in Benchmark mode continued to rise, eventually hitting a solid 211 frames per second. This was a testament to the incredible power of our system, particularly the 4090 GPU.

Even more impressive was the low-end performance, with first percentile lows of 167 and 143. While there were some dips in frame rate during areas of high action, they were largely manageable, and overall, the game looked amazing. This was a significant achievement, considering that we were running at 4K resolution with DLSS enabled.

Moving on to our next title, F1 2022, we were eager to see if we could replicate similar level frame rates. We began by reducing the resolution to 720p and then quickly discovered that applying these settings to a game designed for higher resolutions was surprisingly simple. Enabling 4K mode and setting the ray tracing quality to high seemed like a straightforward task.

Our goal was to hit 60 frames per second or above, as this would provide an ideal balance between performance and visual fidelity. We were not disappointed, as we soon found ourselves enjoying one of the best-looking most realistic racing games we had ever seen. The graphics were stunning, with crisp details that made every aspect of the game feel incredibly immersive.

To put our system's capabilities to the test further, we took a closer look at some of the game's performance metrics. We were thrilled to discover that we could hit 8283 frames per second in this title, which felt incredibly smooth and responsive. This was a testament to the incredible power of our system, particularly the 4090 GPU.

Of course, not all games are created equal, and we wanted to test our setup on some other titles as well. We started with Fortnite, a game that has become synonymous with high frame rates. Our results were impressive, with an average of 333 frames per second at 1080p competitive settings. This was a significant achievement, considering that we had tuned down all but one setting to its lowest value.

We also tested our system in COD Warzone, both at 1080p and 4K resolutions. Our results were consistently positive, with average frame rates of 223 frames per second and up to 233 frames per second in some cases. This was a testament to the incredible power of our setup, particularly when paired with Nvidia's DLSS technology.

Finally, we tested our system in Apex Legends, a game that has become known for its demanding hardware requirements. To put this system to the test, we reduced all settings to their lowest value except for one setting - render distance. We were delighted to discover that we could hit 232 frames per second at 1080p competitive settings, which was not far off from the game's hard-capped frame rate of 300 FPS.

In conclusion, our experience with Nvidia DLSS has been nothing short of phenomenal. Our system, consisting of a 4090 GPU paired with an AMD Ryzen 7000 Series CPU, has consistently delivered impressive frame rates across a range of popular titles. Whether we're talking about Modern Warfare 2, F1 2022, Fortnite, COD Warzone, or Apex Legends, our results have been nothing short of breathtaking. With DLSS enabled and our system dialed in, we can confidently say that this is a benchmarking experience like no other.

The future of gaming looks bright, especially when it comes to performance and visuals. Nvidia's DLSS technology has truly revolutionized the way we experience games on PC, and we're excited to see where this technology will take us next. With systems like ours capable of delivering incredible frame rates across a range of popular titles, it's clear that the future of gaming is looking brighter than ever.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit's time to build the ultimate gaming PC build featuring the world's fastest GPU the RTX 4090 the world's fastest gaming CPU the I9 3900k and wait for it at 1200 MSI Godlike motherboard are all of these components terribly overpriced and bad value for money or actually do some of these parts warrant their Hefty price tags let's find out the Corsair IQ 5000t provides the ultimate in airflow RGB lighting and mounting compatibility for PC builds in 2022 with three allow fans included 160 addressable RGB lights in the front roof and floor panels Corsair have really taken things up a notch learn more about the awesome 5000 T in our build videos over on the channel or at the where to buy links in the description below let's start things off a little bit differently and take a look at all of the components that make this build possible and then go ahead and put this behemoth together now this right here can be none other than msi's supremax liquid 4090. if I open up what might just be the world's largest GPU box you'll see that the form factor of this card isn't actually all that massive but someone basically came along and struck an all-in-one liquid cooler to a 4090 and to be honest with you I'm absolutely here for it temperatures are a lot lower is it a bit Overkill yes but isn't that what the 4090 is just all about the I9 13900k the CPU choice in my build today is a similar story 24 cores 32 threads they're not all bull fat cores so some of them are performance some of them are efficiency goals but it's still a beats nevertheless and a TDP that breaks the boundaries of 12th gen and this thing is impressive but does need a bit more cool limb you can see just from the graphs on screen now this CPU just absolutely rocks put it through any application whether it's a synthetic Benchmark your fire strike cinebench whether you're playing games like Formula One 2022 Battlefield 2042 this thing absolutely smashes it awesome for like video rendering two you've got Intel quick sync I mean it just takes so many boxes at a time where amd's ryzen 7000 is a bit of a tricky sell if I'm being completely honest of course using a new Intel 13th gen opens the door up for this as well the MSI z790 godlight now this is the most expensive motherboard I think I've ever seen however it is absolutely crammed with features that should in theory make it awesome for a build like this looking around the board you've got a 28 phase vrm power delivery system with plenty of cooling you've got loads of m.2 SSD Stars let me try and remember them all so there's two gen fours under here a Gen 4 here two more gen 4S here a Gen 5 on the bottom left and the Gen 3 on the bottom right so one two three four five six seven m.2 slots I mean if you put like a four terabyte Samsung 990 Pro in seven slots 28 terabytes of potential SSD storage and obviously if drives get even bigger you can pop those in algae j1700 socket that's obviously very important you've got a very strong rear i o on this board so loads of usbc's Thunderbolt 4 two and a half and 10 gigabit dual ethernet so 12 and a half gigabits of ethernet bandwidth on this board that's a bit Bonkers obviously this board's going to give you widespread PCI Gen 5 and all those sort of features too for upcoming future graphics cards and there's so many peels on this board it's gonna look extra fresh once they've all been taken off released that's the idea while I'm here I might as well go ahead and just pop in the CPU the RAM and the SSD just take a look at the SSD and the ram I've got a Corsair Vengeance RGB ddr5 kit this is 32 gigs but it might pick up a second kit for 64. kind of makes sense for the vibe we're going for and the Samsung 990 Pro this is their brand new fastest Gen 4 nvme drive you can read a full review over on the website two terabytes incapacity gonna do the job nicely and of course with six n.2 slots remaining after the installation of the 990 Pro you've got plenty of room for upgrades if you decide actually you'd like a bit more m.2 storage every year for the next seven years that's how crazy this board is CPU goes into the socket Ram clicks into the dims and the SSD of course is gonna go in the very top slot just above the first pcie x60 Lane very cool observation but this m.2 heat shield is um or at least once a minute ago and I demonstrated it off camera how magnetic so you haven't got to use a screw to unscrew it it's a bit fiddly but I mean it seems to work we can then remove this uh sort of cover another peel uh-huh there we go hey do the same on the underside and then in theory put it back how it was um like that okay fair play MSI that's actually a pretty cool Innovative solution that I've not seen on any of the boards as long as it doesn't fall off but I mean seems pretty solid to me now seems like a pretty good time to take a look at the cooler and the power supply as their two components that you should start thinking about at this stage of the build now the PSU is the MSI AI 1300p this is a smart power supply so you can monitor our power usage in Windows and stuff 1300 Watts might seem Overkill but with the CPU able to exceed 300 with a decent overclock our 4090 graphics card using what 500 550 watts in total you can see already how this build can swallow up 850 Watts like that if energy bills are something you're worried about there may be a full T90 PC is not for you but to be honest with you anyone spending the money on a 49 team must be pretty crackers anyway it's also got uh braided cables this unit too making your build process a bit easier and making everything look a little bit nicer but the cooler is an item I wanted to touch on because starting its installation now is going to make everything else a bit easier later this is the h150i elite LCD from Corsair based on their legendary h100i platform the 50 extra just means we've got a 360 mil rather than a 240mm radiator to three fans rather than two it's got a screen on it so we can monitor like our liquid temperatures and all of that jazz and it's gonna fit in aesthetically and performance wise with exactly what I'm after for this system one thing that also sells Corsair coolers for me is that IQ software whenever anyone says anything's got a screen on it I'm a little bit skeptical because it is actually very easy to control if not it's not really any point I juice fantastic though and gives us loads of information that we can actually do something with and then it's actually quite useful inside the coolest box will find one of these this is a back plate now the back plate is going to basically secure the cooler to the motherboard and you'll see how it does that in a moment you'll also find the quarter itself but we don't actually need to worry about the main part just yet the included ml RGB fans and these male to mail posts and thumb screws now this is where the motherboard actually comes back into play because we're actually going to go ahead and Slide the back plate onto the rear of the motherboard and use these aforementioned male to male posts to secure not only the back plate into place but also provide the mounting basis for the cooler a little bit later with that basic prep done I think we're about as far with the motherboard ahead as we possibly can be and I've covered off all of the components bar one which is pretty handy actually because the case that particular component is what we need to actually get the next phase of the build roll it on now I've picked up the half 700 Evo I'm not going to physically pick it up and show you all the features we'll use cheat b-roll footage instead as this thing is so incredibly heavy I recently featured this case's little brother the half 700 non-evo but I prefer this one as it's got RGB glass panes on the front a customizable screen which while the software is not quite as good we can just set it to one thing and leave it at that you get heaps of RGB loads of fan mount in space this thing is just absolutely awesome on so many levels is it about Overkill yes point of today guys the box of screws oh wow it's split in the Box listen to this oh no no this is no oh no this is so bad there's more oh no a few moments later installing the motherboard like this is always such a kind of a nerve-wracking process it's so heavy trying to find good grip points where you can firmly hold the board but also not break or scratch anything can be a challenge especially when for whatever reason it just doesn't want to line up that is not aligned at all progress update it's definitely something to do with the PCI lens which I've removed that was causing the problem I've now got three screws in at the top and it seems I mean it's not going anywhere I've managed to get two in along the middle row and two down the bottom but these two on the end here I just can't get in now obviously when the graphics card's in that'll help apply some downward pressure and to be completely Frank with you all this thing ain't going anywhere anytime soon so I'm gonna pop back on the removal m.2 heatsink we took off earlier the reason you need to take that off is to get at one of the motherboard screws which has now been screwed in so this system is kind of winning me over bit by bit and I've realized there's a button for actually releasing it you haven't got to just yank it really hard in fact you probably shouldn't yank it really hard anyway that's all in I'm going to pop the radiator in this void up here Push Pull config makes the most sense so I'm going to dig out three extra non-rgb fans they won't be seen at the top and then I'll walk you through how I'm going to install the CPU water block shortly afterwards but provisionally that's all in and looking good a drop of thermal paste onto the CPU is gonna do nicely create that good thermal Bond then the cooler head can go on top of the processor a little something like this we're going to add thumb screws in each corner just go for the corners that are easiest to add on first of all the cooler is not going to sit flat until fully tightened which might make screwing in some Corners just a bit more tricky then you grab your screwdriver and you tighten them up as much as you possibly can don't tighten each one up all the way individually just go around and tighten them up bit by bit so that the cooler starts to sit more flat if you've not quite got it right and you can't now move it because it's tight you can just loosen it and re-tighten later without taking all the thermal paste off or anything like that of course this cooler has a screen a module which you can tallestly put on and take off it literally is like that it's just magnetic no screws involved and we'll run all of those cables out of the way and deal with them later the next component on my proverbial hit list is of course the in the end of the graphics card now the Supreme 4090 as a touchdown oh take a look at the build I think it only makes sense to have the radiator actually go at the front of the chassis that's if of course the tubes will reach something I'm becoming increasingly doubtful of okay so they do actually reach after a quick check it might be a little bit of a squeeze but I think we should be okay I've still left the PCI Lanes off at the rear but I think I'm going to add those back in now when I install the GPU this cool domestic case actually has a tallest system where you just pull this back slide the card in and close it nice and easy let's put the graphics card in first here we are it's in here we go oh nice for all of the right reasons that was very anti-climactic but it is in and that's all that really matters I've decided it's gonna go at the front definitely we'll save the bottom for some extra intake fans which I will add in afterwards for now though I just need to remove there's like a bracket at the front here and use this to secure the radiator into place although the fans are gonna have to be swapped which is the right pain in the ass this bracket that Cooler Master install is good but it's such like a mind-bending confusing Contraption So in theory yes that is exactly what we need to do so we've got to get somehow the radiator on the back side the fans are going to screw through oh it's just a mess it's a mess honestly right after many a trial and many a tribulation I think we should be good we're back in business baby oh yes now that appears at least this time round to actually be working everything seems so far to be fitting all good couple of things I do want to do though before adding the power supply in tidy up the cables is one but also take off the bottom fan belt more laborious fan installations to pop in a couple more sickle flow Cooler Master fans just to make it look a bit more full looks a bit empty and lonely down there right now and now we finally have it time to add in the PSU I think I might have touched on this earlier can't remember if I did here it is again if not here is msi's AI 1300p great power supply we've done a full review over on the website please go and give it a read the website is on fire at the moment people are loving the content we're putting out PC builds reviews Hardware guides chop cases top motherboards you name it anything PC Hardware related geekart.com has he covered the most Shameless of plugs check it out links below links in the cards it's awesome now this unit comes with included braided cables as I alluded to previously and this really nice black and gold aesthetic you can actually not really sure why you can take off the gold bits as opposed to replace them with different colored bits of which none are included or maybe it's just about making it all black you want something a bit more neutral this power supply has got you covered and it does so on both sides you've got that modularity all over the unit Slide the power supply into place and then use these two captive thumb screws to actually secure it down that's right Cooler Master have installed a tallest power supply installation method very very clever then we can spin the case around again it gets tiring when the case is um oh my God this heavy so the CPU one obviously plugs up to the top the motherboard to the right hand side with an auxiliary six pin GPU power connector and then our B fee up to 600 watt pci5 connector yeah the ones that have sort of been catching fire but this one should be okay goes into the Supreme side of the GPU and we can pull through all of the cable to be clear is the adapter specifically that's having some of the problems rather than these dedicated GPU power cables and with that the whole PC pop review front panel cables is finished I'm so excited this took three hours to build this thing it's so complicated but we're gonna go ahead and Boot It Up see if it all works for the first time after of course adding all the side panels on and dealing with the cable management keep your fingers crossed for me ladies and gents two days later after a couple more hours wow two days but we'll gloss over that it's ready let's hit the power button on the motherboard and see if anything's gonna work maybe I didn't press it properly well maybe I did this broken let me just try turning off the switch on the power supply turn that back on then hit the power oh there we go wait I do every on the back the bottom the Rams red which is the wrong color but hopefully a trip to Windows should sort that out the front also looks like it's working the screen on there we haven't programmed yet we can do that at another Point we've even got the liquid temperature of the h150i elite LCD which is amazing will it jump into Windows though huh yes it will on 994 of all the installed Windows on before for a previous build which should in theory make our lives a little bit easier here we go Windows 11. beautiful let's pop in my password hit enter very secure four digits and then we are in let's see how this thing performs and load up a couple of my favorite titles the first game that I want to test out is the latest Cod Modern Warfare 2. I prepared the campaign and I am nearly finished but I'm on that final mission it's very hard anyway uh graphics on this one we're running it full screen on our MSI 4K quantum dot monitor the refresh rate of the display is 144 Hertz but of course we'll be surpassing that in frame rate and 4K is the resolution Nvidia dlss has been enabled on balance mode and everything else is basically on high and Ultra if I record our screen using Nvidia shadowplay you guys can see exactly what I'm seeing on this beautiful panel and we can run the Benchmark mode to see what sort of frame rates are achievable we've done three separate performance guides for Modern Warfare 2 the 1080 1440 and 4K over on our website detailing the best settings for a huge range of gpus but for now all we care about is this 1490 and I have 700 Evo build what is the frame rate and the the performance going to be like to be honest with you I'm hoping for 150 FPS or above 170 so far that's a pretty good start but let's see as The Benchmark intensifies whether that level actually holds up or not interestingly enough the frame rate's actually gone up now about 200 frames per second 211 so the frame rate is actually continuing to rise believe it or not and so far visually the game looks amazing dlss here working it's magic allowing of course 4K to be even more playable than it would have otherwise been frame rate's solid systems performing well our water called 4090 not letting us down just yet in areas of high action the frame rate obviously does drop a bit but a lot of the time where over 200 FPS on average which is mightily impressive aha here is the summary so apparently we've got 210 frames per second on average with Fifth and first percentile lows of 167 and 143. the bottleneck mainly our GPU believe it or not but that's obviously a testament to just how powerful the 13900k CPU is the next title I want to try is a bit of from 2022 the most popular Sim racing game out right now can we get those similar level frame rates let's take a look if one thing's for sure we're not going to miss out on what frame rate we're achieving in F1 2022 my goodness ah the corporate is running at 720p none of that round here let's see if we can apply those changes 4K for me only well hey that worked I was actually surprisingly simple and then we can set the ray tracing quality to high let's just set the preset in general shall we took ultra high let's push the boat out if the 4090 can't do it then frankly no graphics card can I'm pretty happy with all of those settings and here we go so the thing I'm most bothered about here is hitting 60fps or above it's a racing game 200 it's frankly not very useful and it to look obviously as good as possible and so far I don't want to speak too prematurely but this is one of the best looking most realistic racing games I have ever seen the graphics I can't even begin to explain how good this game looks 8283 frames per second it feels incredibly smooth as well which is always a great bonus can we take a cheeky dive down the inside it's very late oh we've made it stick he's made it stick ladies and gents 78 frames per second 80 FPS very solid of course if you wanted more frames you could knock the ray tracing settings down use the high rather than the ultra preset and that would shoot you about 120 frames a second give or take based on some of our detailed testing you can of course see uh full benchmarks in this game over on geekowa.com so for me along 2022 then stacking up very well look stunning same with Modern Warfare 2 remastered what about the likes of Apex Legends and fortnite well let's take a look at some of the other games I've tested on this system in fortnite at 1080p competitive settings I bought an impressive 333 frames per second all the threes on average this was with everything tuned down to low except the render distance which we set to fast for maximum frame rate in COD Warzone it was a similarly positive performance with 4K High dlss we pulled in 223 frames per second Cold War Zone very well looking fantastic and at 4K high with that dlss enabled I was pretty astounded to receive such high frame rates Apex Legends also perform well this is a game that has a hard cap of 300 FPS so 232 well still 70 FPS away wasn't a million miles off delivering pretty much top-end Apex performance the game looked fantastic and the 90 and 99 percentiles were consistent too this is a system that really means business when it comes to Performance and you're sure not to be disappointed when building such an expensive rig to find these great frame rates make sure to go subscribed to the channel to see more from us thanks for tuning in and as always we'll see you in the next oneit's time to build the ultimate gaming PC build featuring the world's fastest GPU the RTX 4090 the world's fastest gaming CPU the I9 3900k and wait for it at 1200 MSI Godlike motherboard are all of these components terribly overpriced and bad value for money or actually do some of these parts warrant their Hefty price tags let's find out the Corsair IQ 5000t provides the ultimate in airflow RGB lighting and mounting

that make this build possible and then go ahead and put this behemoth together now this right here can be none other than msi's supremax liquid 4090. if I open up what might just be the world's largest GPU box you'll see that the form factor of this card isn't actually all that massive but someone basically came along and struck an all-in-one liquid cooler to a 4090 and to be honest with you I'm absolutely here for it temperatures are a lot lower is it a bit Overkill yes but isn't that what the 4090 is just all about the I9 13900k the CPU choice in my build today is a similar story 24 cores 32 threads they're not all bull fat cores so some of them are performance some of them are efficiency goals but it's still a beats nevertheless and a TDP that breaks the boundaries of 12th gen

Benchmark your fire strike cinebench whether you're playing games like Formula One 2022 Battlefield 2042 this thing absolutely smashes it awesome for like video rendering two you've got Intel quick sync I mean it just takes so many boxes at a time where amd's ryzen 7000 is a bit of a tricky sell if I'm being completely honest of course using a new Intel 13th gen opens the door up for this as well the MSI z790 godlight now this is the most expensive motherboard I think I've ever seen however it is absolutely crammed with features that should in theory make it awesome for a build like this looking around the board you've got a 28 phase vrm power delivery system with plenty of cooling you've got loads of m.2 SSD Stars let me try and remember them all so there's two gen fours under here a

this one as it's got RGB glass panes on the front a customizable screen which while the software is not quite as good we can just set it to one thing and leave it at that you get heaps of RGB loads of fan mount in space this thing is just absolutely awesome on so many levels is it about Overkill yes point of today guys the box of screws oh wow it's split in the Box listen to this oh no no this is no oh no this is so bad there's more oh no a few moments later installing the motherboard like this is always such a kind of a nerve-wracking process it's so heavy trying to find good grip points where you can firmly hold the board but also not break or scratch anything can be a challenge especially when for whatever reason it just doesn't want to line up that is not aligned at all progress update it's definitely something to do with the PCI lens which I've removed that was causing the problem I've now got three screws in at the top and it seems I mean it's not going anywhere I've managed to get two in along the middle row and two down the bottom but these two on the end here I just can't get in now obviously when the graphics card's in that'll help apply some downward pressure and to be completely Frank with you all this thing ain't going anywhere anytime soon so I'm gonna pop back on the removal m.2 heatsink we took off earlier the reason you need to take that off is to get at one of the motherboard screws which has now been screwed in so this system is kind of winning me over bit by bit and I've realized there's a button for actually releasing it you haven't got to just yank it really hard in fact you probably shouldn't yank it really hard anyway that's all in I'm going to pop the radiator in this void up here Push Pull config makes the most sense so I'm going to dig out three extra non-rgb fans they won't be seen at the top and then I'll walk you through how I'm going to install the CPU water block shortly afterwards but provisionally that's all in and looking good a drop of thermal paste onto the CPU is gonna do nicely create that good thermal Bond then the cooler head can go on top of the processor a little something like this we're going to add thumb screws in each corner just go for the corners that are easiest to add on first of all the cooler is not going to sit flat until fully tightened which might make screwing in some Corners just a bit more tricky then you grab your screwdriver and you tighten them up as much as you possibly can don't tighten each one up all the way individually just go around and tighten them up bit by bit so that the cooler starts to sit more flat if you've not quite got it right and you can't now move it because it's tight you can just loosen it and re-tighten later without taking all the thermal paste off or anything like that of course this cooler has a screen a module which you can tallestly put on and take off it literally is like that it's just magnetic no screws involved and we'll run all of those cables out of the way and deal with them later the next component on my proverbial hit list is of course the in the end of the graphics card now the Supreme 4090 as a touchdown oh take a look at the build I think it only makes sense to have the radiator actually go at the front of the chassis that's if of course the tubes will reach something I'm becoming increasingly doubtful of okay so they do actually reach after a quick check it might be a little bit of a squeeze but I think we should be okay I've still left the PCI Lanes off at the rear but I think I'm going to add those back in now when I install the GPU this cool domestic case actually has a tallest system where you just pull this back slide the card in and close it nice and easy let's put the graphics card in first here we are it's in here we go oh nice for all of the right reasons that was very anti-climactic but it is in and that's all that really matters I've decided it's gonna go at the front definitely we'll save the bottom for some extra intake fans which I will add in afterwards for now though I just need to remove there's like a bracket at the front here and use this to secure the radiator into place although the fans are gonna have to be swapped which is the right pain in the ass this bracket that Cooler Master install is good but it's such like a mind-bending confusing Contraption So in theory yes that is exactly what we need to do so we've got to get somehow the radiator on the back side the fans are going to screw through oh it's just a mess it's a mess honestly right after many a trial and many a tribulation I think we should be good we're back in business baby oh yes now that appears at least this time round to actually be working everything seems so far to be fitting all good couple of things I do want to do though before adding the power supply in tidy up the cables is one but also take off the bottom fan belt more laborious fan installations to pop in a couple more sickle flow Cooler Master fans just to make it look a bit more full looks a bit empty and lonely down there right now and now we finally have it time to add in the PSU I think I might have touched on this earlier can't remember if I did here it is again if not here is msi's AI 1300p great power supply we've done a full review over on the website please go and give it a read the website is on fire at the moment people are loving the content we're putting out PC builds reviews Hardware guides chop cases top motherboards you name it anything PC Hardware related geekart.com has he covered the most Shameless of plugs check it out links below links in the cards it's awesome now this unit comes with included braided cables as I alluded to previously and this really nice black and gold aesthetic you can actually not really sure why you can take off the gold bits as opposed to replace them with different colored bits of which none are included or maybe it's just about making it all black you want something a bit more neutral this power supply has got you covered and it does so on both sides you've got that modularity all over the unit Slide the power supply into place and then use these two captive thumb screws to actually secure it down that's right Cooler Master have installed a tallest power supply installation method very very clever then we can spin the case around again it gets tiring when the case is um oh my God this heavy so the CPU one obviously plugs up to the top the motherboard to the right hand side with an auxiliary six pin GPU power connector and then our B fee up to 600 watt pci5 connector yeah the ones that have sort of been catching fire but this one should be okay goes into the Supreme side of the GPU and we can pull through all of the cable to be clear is the adapter specifically that's having some of the problems rather than these dedicated GPU power cables and with that the whole PC pop review front panel cables is finished I'm so excited this took three hours to build this thing it's so complicated but we're gonna go ahead and Boot It Up see if it all works for the first time after of course adding all the side panels on and dealing with the cable management keep your fingers crossed for me ladies and gents two days later after a couple more hours wow two days but we'll gloss over that it's ready let's hit the power button on the motherboard and see if anything's gonna work maybe I didn't press it properly well maybe I did this broken let me just try turning off the switch on the power supply turn that back on then hit the power oh there we go wait I do every on the back the bottom the Rams red which is the wrong color but hopefully a trip to Windows should sort that out the front also looks like it's working the screen on there we haven't programmed yet we can do that at another Point we've even got the liquid temperature of the h150i elite LCD which is amazing will it jump into Windows though huh yes it will on 994 of all the installed Windows on before for a previous build which should in theory make our lives a little bit easier here we go Windows 11. beautiful let's pop in my password hit enter very secure four digits and then we are in let's see how this thing performs and load up a couple of my favorite titles the first game that I want to test out is the latest Cod Modern Warfare 2. I prepared the campaign and I am nearly finished but I'm on that final mission it's very hard anyway uh graphics on this one we're running it full screen on our MSI 4K quantum dot monitor the refresh rate of the display is 144 Hertz but of course we'll be surpassing that in frame rate and 4K is the resolution Nvidia dlss has been enabled on balance mode and everything else is basically on high and Ultra if I record our screen using Nvidia shadowplay you guys can see exactly what I'm seeing on this beautiful panel and we can run the Benchmark mode to see what sort of frame rates are achievable we've done three separate performance guides for Modern Warfare 2 the 1080 1440 and 4K over on our website detailing the best settings for a huge range of gpus but for now all we care about is this 1490 and I have 700 Evo build what is the frame rate and the the performance going to be like to be honest with you I'm hoping for 150 FPS or above 170 so far that's a pretty good start but let's see as The Benchmark intensifies whether that level actually holds up or not interestingly enough the frame rate's actually gone up now about 200 frames per second 211 so the frame rate is actually continuing to rise believe it or not and so far visually the game looks amazing dlss here working it's magic allowing of course 4K to be even more playable than it would have otherwise been frame rate's solid systems performing well our water called 4090 not letting us down just yet in areas of high action the frame rate obviously does drop a bit but a lot of the time where over 200 FPS on average which is mightily impressive aha here is the summary so apparently we've got 210 frames per second on average with Fifth and first percentile lows of 167 and 143. the bottleneck mainly our GPU believe it or not but that's obviously a testament to just how powerful the 13900k CPU is the next title I want to try is a bit of from 2022 the most popular Sim racing game out right now can we get those similar level frame rates let's take a look if one thing's for sure we're not going to miss out on what frame rate we're achieving in F1 2022 my goodness ah the corporate is running at 720p none of that round here let's see if we can apply those changes 4K for me only well hey that worked I was actually surprisingly simple and then we can set the ray tracing quality to high let's just set the preset in general shall we took ultra high let's push the boat out if the 4090 can't do it then frankly no graphics card can I'm pretty happy with all of those settings and here we go so the thing I'm most bothered about here is hitting 60fps or above it's a racing game 200 it's frankly not very useful and it to look obviously as good as possible and so far I don't want to speak too prematurely but this is one of the best looking most realistic racing games I have ever seen the graphics I can't even begin to explain how good this game looks 8283 frames per second it feels incredibly smooth as well which is always a great bonus can we take a cheeky dive down the inside it's very late oh we've made it stick he's made it stick ladies and gents 78 frames per second 80 FPS very solid of course if you wanted more frames you could knock the ray tracing settings down use the high rather than the ultra preset and that would shoot you about 120 frames a second give or take based on some of our detailed testing you can of course see uh full benchmarks in this game over on geekowa.com so for me along 2022 then stacking up very well look stunning same with Modern Warfare 2 remastered what about the likes of Apex Legends and fortnite well let's take a look at some of the other games I've tested on this system in fortnite at 1080p competitive settings I bought an impressive 333 frames per second all the threes on average this was with everything tuned down to low except the render distance which we set to fast for maximum frame rate in COD Warzone it was a similarly positive performance with 4K High dlss we pulled in 223 frames per second Cold War Zone very well looking fantastic and at 4K high with that dlss enabled I was pretty astounded to receive such high frame rates Apex Legends also perform well this is a game that has a hard cap of 300 FPS so 232 well still 70 FPS away wasn't a million miles off delivering pretty much top-end Apex performance the game looked fantastic and the 90 and 99 percentiles were consistent too this is a system that really means business when it comes to Performance and you're sure not to be disappointed when building such an expensive rig to find these great frame rates make sure to go subscribed to the channel to see more from us thanks for tuning in and as always we'll see you in the next one\n"
