![]() We likedįor starters, the Tiki packs an impressive amount of power and performance into a small, elegant-looking system. Even under peak performance loads, this is one seriously stealthy PC. What does all this mean in terms of real-world performance? The long and the short of it is that I was able to play any game I wanted on my ultra-wide 2560 x 1080 display at maximum detail levels, and was constantly rewarded with high, smooth frame rates.Įven more impressive is that, despite all this power, I had to try to produce any noticeable fan noise whatsoever. Across the board, the Tiki bested it by 8 to 10%. To date, no system had bested it in neither synthetic nor gaming benchmarks. One of my primary gaming systems is a massive, $5,000 full-size tower PC with a 4770K CPU, 32GB of RAM and a 6GB GeForce Titan card. This is certainly no surprise, given the overclocked Core i7 chip.Īnd, while I won't say I'm surprised by the Tiki's 3D performance – our Nvidia GeForce GTX 780Ti review left me fairly breathless – the sheer might of this rig was nevertheless impressive. The Tiki deftly out-muscled CPU-intensive tasks like Cinebench and PCMark 8. ![]() The long and the short of the above numbers is that in all aspects of performance, the configuration specified above threw off favorable results. Metro Last Light: 132 fps (medium quality).Given the specifications above, it will probably come as no surprise to TechRadar readers that, in this configuration, the Tiki absolutely blew through our benchmark tests. That will net you an Intel Core i5 4570, the same Asus Z87i Deluxe mobo, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and a 2GB GeForce GTX 750 Ti video card. If the relatively high-end price-tag makes your checking account feel bad, it is encouraging to know that at the low-end, you can get into a Tiki at $1,888 (about £1,122, AU$2019). You can even configure these drives in either RAID 0 and RAID 1. SSD options range up to 1TB, and HDD options include Western Digital's 7,200 rpm, high-performance Green drives (between 2 and 4TB). While you must choose solid state for the primary drive, the chassis can fit up to two additional drives for extra storage. At default, the Tiki comes loaded with a Crucial M550 256GB M550 SSD and no mechanical drive. The system comes with either 8GB or 16GB of RAM, which may disappoint buyers looking for 32GB of memory. Video card options are similarly robust, allowing for everything from the default 2GB GeForce GTX 750 Ti all the way up to workstation-caliber Nvidia Quadro cards – at 12GB, no less.
