OCUK Ultima Raptor Review

Futuremark Vantage

PC Mark Vantage

One of the great benefits of testing an entire system, such as the Ultima Raptor from Overclockers UK, is that we get a chance to run all of those tests that are normally specific to certain types of hardware and get a real feel for how well a system performs in daily use rather than solely for gaming or suchlike.

In PC Mark Vantage scores very well indeed. The TV and Movies test is vastly reliant on the storage medium, and with the Western Digital 640MB HDD just breaking through 3000 points then the TV and Movies test score reflects this. However, the rest of the scores handily break through the 6000 barrier, with the gaming result taking advantage of the 5870 to really bang in the numbers.

3D Mark Vantage

Firing up 3D Mark Vantage in its Performance mode provides a good score with over 18000 total marks and the CPU score breaking through the 20000 barrier. This should give us a great High score.

Moving to the much more realistic High settings sees the score drop to a hair under 13000. This will give playable frame-rates at good image quality in all but the most demanding games.

Seems a very tidy prebuilt, and gives very nice results, more or less what im planning for my upgrade in the summer.

Top notch review as allways Mr Tom ,Just a quick note tho bottom of the first page there is a spelling mistake btw it says "4gb or ram"

650w is more than enough for this system, it will be more economical with this psu instead of a 750w.

If you just want to buy it and use it its perfect.

The build quality of their systems never fails to impress me, definitely a pro outfit. If I didn't enjoy putting them together so much I'd choose something like this. They'll even give you phone support for the overclock if it goes wrong (but not if you update the BIOS!).

yep like i said its more than ample / perfect and we both know that but to someone spending that money on a system you'd expect big numbers if you get what i mean? you just expect to see say 1000w !!! or something daft like that

Yep, awesome deal imo. Nice to see AMD providing a hex core for that sort of cash, I am really starting to like AMD, there pricing strategy seems much better for the consumer.

The build looks spot on for the budget aswell.

@AMDFTW you forgot windows in your pricing!!

OCUK give you the option of a OS and cooling

if not £1,260ish for that kinda spec and build is a very good deal,especialy good for first time buyers
