The Skytech Shiva might be one of the reasons why you should just opt to buy a prebuilt gaming pc rather than building it for yourself. The perks of building your own gaming desktop is a cheaper cost but with more high-quality comments. Let’s see why buying a pre-built pc can be more cost-effective.
Crystal clear graphics
This gaming PC comes with a 500G SSID and a USB Bluetooth plugin. But because you can play games at HD 1080 P seamlessly on this desktop, you might want to get an additional 1TB SSID.
This Shiva gaming PC has lightning-fast speed and can handle almost any game we tried to play with it. Thus, you will want to play tons of games. And games can eat up a lot of space. It can easily hog up the 500G SSID that’s included with your purchase.
The graphics are clear and impressive. needless to say, we don’t have any complaints about it. You can virtually immerse yourself while playing and this can level up your gaming experience.
This Skytech gaming PC makes use of a new generation GPU card for NViida, the RTX 2060 6GB. This makes it possible to play ultra-high settings in 1080 p resolution.
The fastest of its kind
This gaming pc built will allow you to play games at 1080 p at acceptable frame rates per second. We tried playing several demanding games and we were able to record quite an impressive output. For instance, it scored 79 fps while the Hitman 2 and 108 fps with Division 2. A record of 60 fps is decent enough for gaming. So anything above 60 is such a treat.
And when you crank the PC up, you can play games at 1080 p with a frame that does not go below 100 fps.
With a PC gaming desktop with its price, you can expect to play games at 60 fps, no lower than that. But with this gaming desktop, you can very well exceed that mark. Needless to say, it performs better than other pc gaming desktops of its kind and price range. Gaming desktops of this range would only allow you to play games at full HD 1080p.
So it might not be the fastest that you will find in the market, but it is for a gaming desktop of this kind.
With the 550 SSD, this PC opens up rather quickly at about 7-8 seconds.
