FPS benchmarks

Resolution

*These FPS figures were measured in-house using real gameplay and/or dedicated benchmarking tools where available. Because game updates, driver updates, and other variables can affect performance over time, these figures aren't a guarantee of the performance you'll achieve — treat them as a ballpark indication rather than an exact result. Please reach out to our staff if you need a more accurate performance estimate for your build.

About This PC

Wrapped in the Koi Pond design, this build turns a serene Japanese garden into a frame around the case panels, with koi carp gliding beneath and between water lilies and Zen ornaments like a raked sand garden, a wooden bridge and a stone lantern completing the scene. The panels are UV printed in-house at Playtech HQ, so no two builds feel quite the same.

Under that artwork sits a genuinely capable 1080p and 1440p gaming machine. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 with 8GB of GDDR6 memory pairs with a Ryzen 5 5600X to handle competitive shooters at high frame rates and big single-player titles at high settings, while a 360mm liquid cooler keeps noise and temperatures in check. A 1TB NVMe SSD gives you fast load times and plenty of room for a full game library.

Every system is assembled and tested by Playtech technicians before it ships, with Windows 11 Home installed and ready to go, and it comes with Playtech's 3-year warranty. If you want more headroom, choose 32GB of memory or a 2TB SSD from the options on this page before you add it to your cart.

Frequently Asked Questions

What games can this PC run, and at what resolution?

You'll get a strong 1080p experience and very usable 1440p gaming from this build. At high settings it clears 60 fps in 24 of the 29 games we tested at 1080p, and 16 of them at 1440p. Competitive titles fly: Counter-Strike 2 runs around 290 fps at 1080p and over 200 fps at 1440p, Valorant and Rocket League sit at their frame caps, and Apex Legends is near 190 fps. Bigger games hold up well too, with Cyberpunk 2077 around 89 fps and Fortnite about 96 fps at 1080p.

Can I buy a PC without a graphics card? 

Yes. If you already have a graphics card you'd like to use, let us know and we'll quote you a custom system without one. If you're near our Rosedale, Auckland workshop, you can drop your card in and we'll install it for you. Otherwise, tell us which power connectors your GPU uses and we'll route and expose the right cables so it's easy to install when your PC arrives.

When will my PC arrive? 

Most PCs take a couple of days to assemble, and the build time for each system is shown on its product page. Once your PC is built and tested, it ships with your chosen delivery option. Delivery usually takes 1–2 days in the North Island and 2–4 days in the South Island. Rural deliveries can take longer because they depend on the local courier's schedule.

Can I customise this PC? 

Yes. Every Playtech PC is built on a modular platform, so it can be upgraded, customised or modified to suit your needs. We're happy to adjust any of our systems, whether that's more storage, a different CPU cooler or a full component swap. Some changes may add to the cost, so get in touch with our team and we'll talk through what you're after and put together a quote.

What Do 1080p, 1440p, and 4K Mean?

When shopping for a gaming PC or monitor, you’ll often see terms like 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. These refer to the resolution of the display, which determines how many pixels are used to create the image on your screen.

Higher resolutions mean more pixels and sharper image detail.


  • 1080p (Full HD) – 1920 × 1080 pixels. This is the most common resolution for gaming and offers excellent performance on entry-level and mid-range systems.

  • 1440p (Quad HD) – 2560 × 1440 pixels. This resolution provides noticeably sharper visuals than 1080p and has become a popular choice for modern gaming monitors.

  • 4K (Ultra HD) – 3840 × 2160 pixels. 4K delivers extremely sharp image quality but requires a very powerful graphics card to run modern games smoothly.

Higher resolutions create more detailed visuals but also require more graphics performance from your GPU. That’s why many gamers choose their graphics card based on the resolution they plan to play at.

What Does Frame Rate (FPS) Mean?

Frame rate, often measured in FPS (frames per second), describes how many images your computer renders every second while playing a game.

The higher the FPS, the smoother and more responsive the game feels.

For example:

  • 30 FPS – Playable, but may feel less smooth
  • 60 FPS – Smooth gameplay and the traditional PC gaming standard
  • 120+ FPS – Very smooth gameplay ideal for competitive gaming
  • 240+ FPS – Ultra-smooth performance for esports players

Fast-paced games such as Valorant, Counter-Strike 2, and Fortnite benefit greatly from higher frame rates because they make movement and aiming feel more responsive.

A powerful CPU and graphics card help your PC generate higher frame rates for smoother gameplay.

What Is Monitor Refresh Rate (Hz)?

A monitor’s refresh rate, measured in Hertz (Hz), tells you how many times per second the screen can update the image.

For example:

  • 60Hz monitor → updates the image 60 times per second
  • 144Hz monitor → updates 144 times per second
  • 240Hz monitor → updates 240 times per second

Higher refresh rates allow you to see more frames from your gaming PC, which results in smoother motion and clearer movement during gameplay.

For instance, if your PC produces 144 FPS in a game but your monitor is only 60Hz, you will only see 60 of those frames each second. To fully experience higher frame rates, you need a monitor with a matching refresh rate.

High-refresh monitors are especially popular with competitive gamers playing titles like Apex Legends or Call of Duty: Warzone, where smoother motion can improve reaction time and accuracy.
