On the test, the iBuypower machine ran the game at an average of 108 frames per second (fps), with almost no variation. We also subjected the iBuypower RDY system to our Metro Exodus gauntlet, in which we run the benchmark at the RTX preset 15 times to simulate roughly half an hour of gaming. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen this much of a performance boost generation over generation. We don’t have a full set of test numbers for Red Dead Redemption 2 (medium settings), but compared to the Alienware Aurora and the recent Vybe, the RDY again sailed past the performance of these previous-gen powerful systems, and delivered 30 more performance than the Vybe at 4K. At 4K things were closer, but the 3080 system still slipped by everything we’ve tested with previous-gen GPUs by at least 6 fps. On the Grand Theft Auto V benchmark (very high settings), the trend continued, with the RDY system delivering a class-leading 156 fps. On Far Cry New Dawn (ultra), the RDY’s edge wasn’t quite as strong, but the system still easily dominated, with a 1080p score of 122 fps, 10 frames ahead of the closest competition (again the Maingear Vybe), and 4K performance nearly reached triple digits. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider (highest settings), the top-end CPU and cutting-edge graphics card stomped the competition, delivering 22 more frames per second than the 2020 Maingear Vybe (which had the same CPU and a previous-gen flagship 2080 Ti) at 1080p, and approaching a 30% boost over everything else here at 4K. Because at least in our review unit, the metal iBuypower case badge on the front of the case had sharp edges that snagged our finger more than once. Just be careful when cleaning the front panel. If you’re after a high-end rig that will serve you well for several years to come, the RDY IWBG207 is well worth considering if you can find it in stock. iBuypower (like everyone else these days) is struggling to get enough new Nvidia cards to meet high demand. The main downsides with this iBuypower rig are cramped storage that isn’t as speedy as we’d expect given all the other high-end parts, and the fact that this system is also often out of stock. And at $2,199, the price is quite reasonable - especially considering what you’d likely have to pay to get an RTX 3080 on its own at the moment without getting extremely lucky. In terms of gaming performance, the results are predictively impressive. Nvidia graphics cards have returned to stock previously, but have sold extremely quickly due to the high demand.IBuypower’s RDY IWBG207 is one of those pre-built rigs, which pairs a top-end Core i9-10900KF CPU with an Nvidia RTX 3080 and wraps the system in an attractive (if boxy) In Win case. However, it’s worth acting quickly if you’re interested. This graphics card also features support for the likes of DLSS and ray tracing, but targets a 1080p performance instead, while also being capable of 1440p gaming.ĭuring testing at a 1080p resolution, the Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti achieved 101fps for Horizon Zero Dawn, 259fps for Doom Eternal, 95fps for Borderlands 3 and 128fps for Division 2.Īs you can tell from the star ratings, we highly rate both graphics cards, and recommend a purchase even with the upcoming RTX 4000 graphics cards looming. We also gave the RTX 3060 Ti graphics card a 4.5 out of 5 star rating. If you want to play games in Ultra HD, there really aren’t many graphics cards better than the RTX 3080. During testing, the RTX 3080 was capable of playing the likes of Horizon Zero Dawn, Doom Eternal and Battlefield 5 at frame rates beyond 100fps when playing at a 4K resolution.
