Performance
My testing involved a range of games, from AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2 to esports titles like Valorant and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. At 1080p, the PC handled everything exceptionally well. Even with demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077, I was able to maintain consistently high frame rates, usually above 60fps on medium to high settings. The 1TB SSD ensured near-instantaneous load times, minimizing downtime between gameplay sessions. The 16GB RAM proved sufficient for multitasking and handling background processes without any noticeable lag. At 1440p, I experienced some performance dips in the most graphically intensive games, requiring adjustments to settings to maintain smooth gameplay, but overall, the performance was still very acceptable.
I also tested the system with various demanding applications like video editing software and 3D modeling programs. The performance was surprisingly robust, even for these tasks, although professional-level workflows might require a more powerful machine. The system ran quietly during most tasks, with only minimal fan noise under heavy load.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Excellent performance at 1080p, fast loading times thanks to the SSD, ample RAM, good value for money, quiet operation.
- Cons: Performance at 1440p can be inconsistent in highly demanding games, lack of an SD card reader.
Final Verdict
The PC Gaming TMD (i5/12thgen/16gb/1TB/W10pro) delivers a strong gaming experience that justifies its price tag. It’s an excellent choice for gamers who prioritize 1080p gaming or are looking for a balanced system capable of handling a wide variety of tasks. While 1440p performance may require some compromise on settings in certain titles, it is still perfectly acceptable for most users. If you’re on a budget but don’t want to sacrifice performance, I wholeheartedly recommend this PC.
