Medion Erazer Hunter X30

A basic chassis for the price, but you can't argue with the quality of the hardware within or the price

German manufacturer Medion loves to build top-value PCs, and that emphasis on value extends to its high-end offerings. A £1,749 price may seem high, but I wish you luck finding the same specification at a cheaper price. As ever, it's the graphics card that greedily gulps most of the budget: roughly half of it in this case. You'd better be sure you'll use its power or you're wasting your cash. You can see how it compares in our main tests in the graphs below, but here I'll flag its 4K gaming performance: 182fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Highest (preset), 132fps in Dirt 5 (Ultra High), 99fps in Far Cry 6 (Ultra), 92fps in Borderlands 3 (Badass) and 72fps in Cyberpunk 2077 (RT Ultra). Switch to 1440p and those results increase to 210fps, 197fps, 114fps, 155fps and 101fps respectively. That's very much in line with other RTX 5070 Ti PCs we've tested.
