I guess with two GTX1080s it should be able to do that without running up a sweat.
#ASTRONEER STEAM VENTS PC#
In terms of games, the Omen XP was able to comfortable handle perhaps one of last year’s most graphically demanding PC games, EA’s Battlefield 1 with aplomb, running the game at its Ultra presets in DirectX12 without skipping a beat. All tests were done in Direct X 12 unless that wasn’t available, where DirectX 11 was used. In UniEngine’s Valley benchmark, the Omen XP returned a score of 5222, with maximum FPS of 183.3, average FPS of 124.8 and a minimum FPS of 38.7. Firestrike returned a graphics score of 36, 949 and a physics score of 12, 033. The lowest frame rates it reached was 16.42. With Timespy, the Omen XP returned a score of 87.65 frames per second on the first graphics test and 77.63 on the second graphics test.

#ASTRONEER STEAM VENTS 1080P#
All games were tested at a resolution of 1080p as that’s the maximum my LG IPA monitor can handle. So, I tested the Omen XP on games Titanfall 2 (EA), Battlefield 1 (EA), the new Tomb Raider and Gears of War 4, and benchmarked it using 3D Mark’s Timespy and Firestrike tests and UniEngine’s Heaven and Valley bench marking tools. The way the Omen X sits on its stand also helps with airflow, meaning your gaming beast will stay cool when the frame rates are ramping up.Ī monster PC needs monster testing, so I found the most graphically demanding game I had to thrown at it. The Omen X also includes support for up to three 120mm liquid cooling radiators with top mounted exhaust vents. HP has thought about all the heat such a monster PC will generate as well and thermal management includes a tri-chamber design to separate components and optimise thermals with dedicated cooling in each chamber. It’s a nice touch, even if the app is a little finicky when you try to fine tune the colours using a wheel interface. The lighting is controlled by a desktop app and you can have all four front panels shining the same colour or have a different colour for each one. Once I’d found the right spot for the Omen, it didn’t look too out-of-place in the lounge were my normal PC lives and blended in with its surroundings, at least until I turned on the in-built LED zone lighting that illuminates it with a variety of colours, that is – then it became a visual focal point. The Omen X’s cube shape isn’t going to endear itself to everyone with the way it looks but it’s nice to see a PC manufacturer looking outside the square (excuse the pun) when it comes to case design.Īs the image shows, the Omen doesn’t sit on a side but is tilted on an angle thanks to a build-in stand at the bottom. That’s a helluva lot of computing power, especially when placed alongside my home PC, which is running an Intel i7, 8Gb of memory and a many generations old GTX660Ti. The review unit came running an Intel Core i7-6700 CPU 32Gb of memory, and – get this – two (yes, two) nVidia GTX1080 GPUs. Seriously, this thing is a monster so make sure you have the room for it. HP’s Omen X desktop computer makes me not want to play games on a console or even my current desktop PC ever again – it’s that powerful and that beastly.Īctually, the Omen X is a beast, both in respect to the hardware inside and the sheer size and weight of the thing.
