Digital Storm Vanquish II review: An affordable gamer with limited expandability |
July 11, 2014
That you can buy a capable gaming platform such as the Digital Storm Vanquish II Ultimate for a mere $1269 speaks well of the GPU industry. With Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 770 and its 2GB frame buffer on board, Digital Storm’s Vanquish II Ultimate blazed its way through our 1920x1080 gaming tests, and even had enough juice to maintain playable (if not optimal) frame rates at 2560x1600. The only area where this PC will fall short for some is expansion: It doesn’t have enough memory slots, PCIe slots, or SATA ports.
Styled in an attractive combination of gray with blue lighting, the Vanquish II Ultimate, sports a mid-range Intel Core i5-4570 CPU. A Core i7 would be nice to have, but with 8GB of memory on board a Core i5 feels about the same subjectively, once Windows has done its caching thing. Besides, most games rely more on the GPU than the CPU.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
