Building a gaming PC has been the choice for gamers for a long time now. But the advantage of doing so is not much with the entry of new gaming PCs from companies like CyberPowerPC. In this CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR GXiVR8100A review, we are going to discuss this new gaming PC that comes with a modest price tag.

The CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR GXiVR8100A model is mainly made with mid-range gamers in mind. All the hardware choices and cost-cutting have been made to reflect that thought. So how good is this desktop for gaming? Well, we did some testing and the results were interesting. Let’s see them in the full review below.

Design

If you are coming from the boring tower type design, then this desktop will be a refreshing change to you. Not that they have moved from the classic tower design, but you can see that they’ve revamped the design to make it look more stylish. We have tempered glass on both the front and left side. While the other two sides are covered with the regular metal.

The transparent side panel makes it easy to enjoy the insides with the lighting on. If you love gazing the working computer, there is a lot of gazing scope here.

Let’s talk about accessibility. You can find the power and the reset button on the top. They are accompanied by a couple of USB ports and the mic and headphone jack. The remaining ports find the position at the back side of this gaming PC.

The keyboard we have here is a 102-button one with 8 dedicated multimedia keys. You also get a 9-button mouse with a 4000dpi optical sensor which is nice for gaming. While these are not your standard keyboard and mouse, some of you might prefer even better devices. Overall, the desktop comes with a nice design that fits well within the gaming category.

Performance

The CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR GXiVR8100A comes with an Intel Core i7 processor from the 8th generation. This i7 8700 chip is a hexa-core processor that comes with a clock speed of 3.2GHz and can be turbo boosted up to 4.6GHz. In terms of sheer power, this is one of the best processors out there. It even gets a CPUMark benchmark score of 15136 which is fantastic.

How does this processor help real-time performance? For one, this processor can handle all your daily workflow without any hiccups. Even if you are a serious user whose app need a lot of resources, this processor will handle them like a boss. Absolutely no complaints here.

The memory in this desktop is also pretty generous for the price. We have 16 gigs of DDR4 type RAM which is more than enough in a gaming PC like this one. With the CPU-RAM combo, you can do a lot of work without any compromises. Running multiple applications simultaneously is super easy.

For storage, we have a 1TB mechanical hard drive which gives you ample space for all your games and other data. There is also a 120GB solid-state drive which adds a bit of character to the storage of this device. The SSD brings a lot of speed to the equation and helps the overall performance of the CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR GXiVR8100A gaming PC.

The operating system (Windows 10) comes preinstalled in the solid-state drive. The OS loads up in a few seconds, thanks to the fast SSD. You can also install your frequently used applications in the SSD as well. That way the apps will open a lot faster. One minor concern is that we only have a 120GB SSD here.

Gaming Performance

The graphics card we have here is the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060. The GTX 1060 is based on the Pascal architecture and its performance is in line with other high-end graphics cards in the market. Having one of the high-end GPUs means that you can have a good gaming experience. The GPU comes with a dedicated memory of 3 gigs which is pretty decent for a gaming PC like this one.

You can play some graphically intense games in 1080p at high settings with frame rates above 60 without any issues. Some of the games that run well with this GPU are Just Cause, Darksiders III, Battlefield V, Farming Simulator 19, FIFA 19, Hitman 2, Call of Duty Black Ops 4, Assasins Creed Odyssey, Forza Horizon, and more.

Connectivity

The CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR GXiVR8100A comes with all the connectivity options you’d expect in a modern gaming desktop. The desktop comes with both 802.11ac and Bluetooth which gives the user the ability to connect to the internet and external devices seamlessly.

There are also a ton of ports as well. We have 5 USB 3.1 ports, 3 USB 2.0 ports, an Ethernet port, a mic, and headphone jack. You can also find a DVI port and an HDMI port as well. One thing that’s missing here is the optical drive. To be honest, it doesn’t make a big difference as most of the games are just downloaded these days.

CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR GXiVR8100A Review – Our Verdict
