Thunder Century Avengers V105: The Performance of GTX1050Ti

[PConline stand-alone evaluation] After the release of the mobile version of the GTX 10 series graphics card, the notebook can also achieve the same graphics performance as the desktop, which makes many desktop players are beginning to shake gradually. Notebook or a gaming platform that is better than desktop computers? No, no matter how the performance grows, notebooks still have an elegant look at power consumption and heat, while desktops with more space can achieve greater performance with higher power limitations. Desktop computers are still the player's first choice. Today we will be evaluating the Thunder V105 with the GTX 1050Ti graphics card.

Thunder Century Avengers V105 equipped with Intel Core i5-6500 processor, memory need to be purchased separately (in order to complete the test, we chose 8GB DDR4 memory), and the aircraft is also equipped with a 128GB solid-state hard drive, support for M.2 interface . The most important configuration is the NVIDIA GTX 1050Ti graphics card. Compared with many expensive GTX 1060 machines on the market, this game console using the GTX 1050Ti graphics card is obviously the mainstream cost-effective choice.

The purpose of choosing a game console is to play games smoothly. So we first test the actual game experience. In the game, we selected three popular games to show players the performance of the Thunder Avium V105, including "GTA 5", "Wizard 3" and the popular online game "watch pioneer." Take a look at the performance of the Thunder V105 Avenger with the GTX 1050 Ti!

GTA 5

"Grand Theft Auto V" is a crime-themed open-air action adventure game published by Rockstar Games. The game background is based on Los Angeles in the real region and Southern California. Produced, the game has almost the same world view as the real world. Players can play three protagonists and switch at any moment. Each protagonist has his own unique personality and story background, as well as intertwined story.

After we turned on the full effects, the Avengers V105 reached an average of 75 frames. The actual number of game frames floated between 50 and 90fps. It can be said that the smooth experience is stress-free.

The Witcher 3

"Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" is a role-playing stand-alone game created by CD Projekt RED and adapted by the same name novel released by WB Games (NA) and Spike Chunsoft (JP). Released on May 19, 2015, it is the third installment of the "Wizard" series of games. In October 2015, he won the 33rd Golden Rocker Award for Best Drama, Best Visual Design, and Best Game Time. He also won the Best Game of the Year award and was the best IGN 2015 game of the year.

The hardware requirements of this game are quite high. In the era of GTX 9-series graphics cards, the test models rarely can open the highest quality, and the highest quality can not guarantee a stable and smooth experience. In the era of the GTX 10 Series graphics card, this problem was ended. The highest image quality was achieved on the Avengers V105. The average number of frames reached 37 frames or so. A smooth gaming experience can be achieved. Of course, if you want a smoother experience, you can lower the quality slightly.

Watch the Vanguard

"Overwatch" (OW) is a first-person shooter game developed by Blizzard Entertainment, which was launched on May 24, 2016. Netease is the agent of mainland China. The game is based on the future of the Earth and tells about the entanglement of humans, watchful pioneers and intelligent machinery. The game has 22 heroes, each hero has its own signature weapons and skills.

After we turned on the full effects, the screen effect was very good. With the number of frames removed, the game's average number of frames reached 75 frames, the floating range was 50~90fps, and most of the scenes exceeded 60fps. The experience is excellent.

Intel Core i5-6500 processor, GTX 1050Ti, 8G DDR4 2133, 128G SSD has a good game performance, then the theoretical performance?

3DMark test

On February 4, 2013, Futuremark released The New 3DMark. The new 3Dmark supports cross-platform testing of desktop and mobile platforms and supports testing of windows, Android, iOS and Windows RT system platforms. The new 3Dmark has several different load scenarios, FireStrike (high-end hardware), Sky Diver (high-end hardware), CloudGate (mainstream hardware), and IceStorm (entry-level hardware). In addition to the test scores, the new 3DMark will also give a real-time graph during each test period, recording the frame rate, CPU temperature, GPU temperature, and CPU power consumption.

We tested the Fire Strike Exterm (1440p resolution) for the GTX 1050Ti, which outperformed the previous GTX 960 and was able to handle most of our popular games at 1080p resolution. As for online games, there is no problem at all.

CineBench R15 test

CineBench R15 only supports 64-bit operating systems. Compared to up to 16 cores in the R11.5 release, the R15 version can support up to 256 logical cores. In addition, the new version also enhances the inspection of shaders, anti-aliasing, shadows, lights, and reflection blurring, making the detection of CPU performance more accurate. The final grade of the CineBench R15 version has changed. The final unit is cb instead of the R11.5 version of the pts. The Avengers V105 uses a desktop-class quad-core, four-threaded i5-6500 processor. Single-core/multi-core performance is sufficient for most games.

PCmark 8 test

PCMark 8 is a benchmark performance testing software for Windows system. Home testing is one of the testing modes (5 types in total). It mainly simulates the use environment of common users. The testing project covers web browsing and document processing. Pictures, video chat, light load games, etc., and include both OpenCL accelerated and traditional test modes. PCMark 8 will run a complete set of tests, and then give a score, the notebook's points are mostly around 3,000, the Avengers V105 reached 4903 points, the performance is quite good!

Running points and game data sheet

Lightning century Avengers V105 uses matt black as the main color scheme. The panel on the left is quite personal and uses transparent acrylic panels. The front panel is made of pure black composite material with a piano-lacquered texture. The lower part of the front face is quite double-glazed. Next, take a closer look.

The lower part of the Avengers V105 front uses a pure black metal mesh cover with a composite material, allowing the whole machine to have better heat dissipation conditions. The metal mesh cover also has a Thunder Century logo that highlights the brand. The composite materials on the left and right sides are also molded into a pair of wings, quite impact.

The upper part of the front panel is a smooth paint composite material. The drive is hidden, but the V105 is not equipped with an optical drive. The right side of the fuselage is a conventional metal panel chassis, but it is also shaped, protruding design, a very three-dimensional. The front is not equipped with any buttons/indicators, these are all placed on the top of the fuselage, which allows the front panel to have a better integration.

At the top we can see the power button, reboot button, indicator light, headphone jack, microphone connector, two USB 2.0, and one USB 3.0 of the Thunder Century Avengers V105. The most special feature at the top is that the dust-proof net using magnetic adsorption strips reduces the possibility of the machine getting into the ash under the condition that better cooling conditions are ensured.

The main interface of the desktop computer is placed in the tail, and the interface of the discrete graphics card is also placed here. However, we first look at the overall design of the tail, the Avengers V105's tail has a large number of cooling holes, to ensure a good air intake conditions, especially in the power supply part, in addition to the power supply interface is basically a dense cooling holes.

Looking at the interface again, we never have to worry about the desktop interface. No matter what kind or number of desktops we have, we can meet our needs. And the discrete graphics card will also be equipped with its own set of interfaces. In terms of the Thunder Aviva V105, the motherboard is equipped with four USB 3.0 ports, microphone interfaces, audio output interfaces, audio input interfaces, VGA interfaces, RJ45 and PS/2. The GTX 1050Ti graphics card from Thunder Century Avengers V105 brought us three HDMI, one DVI and one DP video output.

The space inside the fuselage is quite spacious, allowing users to carry out various modifications. In addition, an M.2 interface is integrated between the motherboard and the PCIE slot on the motherboard.
