Gaming Performance

The productivity capabilities above are helpful to measure the general processor aptitude, but it’s hard to beat full retail video games for judging a machine’s gaming credentials. Far Cry 5 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, are both modern AAA, high-fidelity titles that can be used to illustrate how a systems fares on real-world video games at different settings. These two games are run on the maximum graphics-quality presets – Ultra for Far Cry 5 and Very High for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, played at 1080p, 1440p, 4K resolutions.

All these tests are meant to identify the sweet spot of visuals and smooth playability for any given system, with the results provided in frames per second. The different presets are based on the fact that Far Cry 5 is DirectX 11-based, while Shadow of the Tomb Raider can be run on DX12.

In our case, targeting a system in this price range means you’re most likely looking to play at full HD (1,920 by 1,080) resolution. Again, not only are 1440p or 4K monitors more expensive, but so is a GPU that will drive games smoothly at those resolutions. As such, our ideal target is 60fps and the Blaze II easily clears that bar with room to spare for more strenuous moments during game play.

In real-world gaming, Far Cry 5 returns impressive scores in Ultra Quality (93 fps – 1080p; 67 fps – 1440p) and the same is replicated on Shadow of the Tomb Raider played at Ultra Quality (66.1fps – 1080p; 35.6 fps – 1440p). On the whole, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is a good GPU for 1080p gaming, not giving you too much or too little.

If your monitor refreshes over 60Hz – can as well consider the Sceptre (C248B-144RN) or the MSI Optix MAG24C both with a 144Hz refresh rate; the extra juice of the 1660 Ti is the way to go. This GPU replaces last year’s GTX 1060, meaning it is VR-Ready so it can run your virtual reality headset (HTC Vive or Oculus Rift) with ease. As you can see, 1440p is much more taxing (unless you’re okay 30fps), and I wouldn’t recommend 4K on this machine.

SkyTech easily accomplishes what it set out to with the new Blaze II: offers a professionally-built platform for enthusiast gaming. The pre-built model we’ve reviewed is reasonably priced as compared to going the DIY (do-it-yourself) route and assembling it yourself from parts. It’s hard to imagine anyone doing a superb wiring job, and the hardware selection in our review unit is simply top-notch. Other highlights in the Blaze II include good cooling, and a spacious design that looks pretty for the price and highly valuable when ordering and upgradeable later. If you’re a semi-pro gamer but not a performance hound, or simply out for a desktop for your kids to play the most popular AAA games without a fuss, this is a great pick.

That said, the iBUYPOWER Element 9260 offers even better performance for around the same price. It boasts a much faster a 9th Generation Core i7-9700F processor, the same Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti, more RAM (16GB) and lots of storage (240GB SSD + 1TB HDD) in a stellar custom chassis. it makes for a recommendable alternative to the SkyTech Blaze II, retaining our Editors’ Choice for the category.
