Cyberpower Infinity X123 RTX Gaming PC
PC Pro
|July 2022
A stylish RTX 3050 system that’s great value, although keen upgraders will need a high-end motherboard
PRICE £833 (£1,000 inc VAT) from cyberpowersystem.co.uk
Elsewhere this month we’ve shown what you can buy for around £2,000 in the Box Cube Legendary Elite (see p54) and around £3,000 in the HP Omen 45L (see p50). To complete the triumvirate, meet the more budget-friendly but still speedy Cyberpower Infinity X123 RTX.
Despite its more affordable price, Cyberpower has its eye on gamers with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card. This remains a great choice for 1080p gaming, averaging above 60fps at High or Ultra settings in demanding games such as Shadow of the Tomb Raider (122fps, High), Hitman 3 (119fps, Ultra), Dirt 5 (79fps, High) and Metro Exodus (61fps, High).
You’ll also find more than playable frame rates at 1440p, with scores of 82fps, 77fps, 62fps and 45fps in those same games. And remember, those are with High or Ultra settings. You’ll need a faster graphics card to enjoy 4K gaming in such titles, though, with those scores dipping down to 49fps, 40fps, 37fps and 26fps. The first three are playable, but my keyword in the previous sentence is “enjoy”.
