Are games and graphics design apps available on this Skytech Prism II? Despite its appearance, I believe it does quite well at handling both spheres. This kind of computer, with its design and hardware, satisfies more than its price.

In spite of the Prism II getting most of its features right, Nvidia’s RTX GPUs were released before it. AMD Ryzen 9 3900X and GeForce RTX 3090 GPUs are included in the system. This is an unbeatable combination.

Featuring stunning 8K gaming performance and stunning 3D rendering, the RTX 3090 is the most powerful graphics card available today. This video game console has one of the best GPUs and CPUs on the market today. This makes the computer future-proof, just as any modern computer should be.

It’s not an easy task to get current specs into this Skytech ST-PRISM-II-0105, but it’s worthwhile. This is a great gaming computer for 2023.

Skytech Prism II Design

A Skytech Prism II tower is basically a standard tower with a clear-window front and sides when it is not in use.

With the Power button pressed, the system’s RGB lighting is illuminated. The RGB effects are achieved by the three fans being driven independently by separate motors, as well as the random lighting.

Clear glass panels on the side reveal the four fans and radiator at the top of the cabinet. During the illumination, we can see how well the CPU, GPU, and RAM are arranged and how clever the cable work is.

Ports

There are quite a few ports on the Skytech Prism II. There are also two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports, as well as a 3.5mm combo audio/mic jack. A PS/2 port, a USB-C port, a HDMI port, and DisplayPort ports are located on the computer’s back.

  • There are three DisplayPort 1.4a ports on the GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card, as well as HDMI 2.1.
  • VirtualLink isn’t even present on the card, so it’s as if it’s not there at all. Despite not being fully lossless at 8K, these outputs are capable of 8K60 (Display Stream Compression).

The card may have five outputs, most of which have dual HDMI 2.1 if you are buying this computer to connect to multiple monitors.

Gaming & Graphics Performance

  • In terms of GPU performance, Nvidia’s RTX 3090 (24GB GDDR6X) is the most powerful model. A GeForce RTX 3090 is ten to twenty percent faster than its predecessor, the RTX 3080, in terms of gaming performance.
  • As 8K TVs are fairly hard to find, the cards are primarily designed to power high-level gaming and 3D rendering. While the situation may change in a few years, every monitor right now does not support the resolution.
  • When playing at 4K resolution with RTX on high settings, as well as with DLSS enabled, the game can maintain a frame rate of 60 frames per second (60 fps), although the frame rate can drop to mid-50s during heavy combat.
  • Compared to the CUK Mantis, the Skytech Chronos performs even better at 4K than it does in 1080p (151 frames per second). It has substantially greater gains at 4K than the OMEN 30L.
  • At 1080p resolution, Skytech Prism II clocks 162 frame rates, while at 4K, it clocks 63 frames, which is more than most PCs with GPUs from the 20-series. Despite its slightly slower frame rate at 1080p, the Skytech Prism still beats the Chronis by 14 frames at 4K.

Performance

The Skytech Prism we tested is a powerful productivity as well as gaming machine, and Ryzen-based systems perform better than Intel-based ones if you can make good use of their many cores. Our review model with a 12-core and 24-thread AMD Ryzen 9 3900X has more than enough threads and cores for video editing and other tasks requiring high concurrency.

The Ryzen 9 3900X has 12-cores, but it doesn’t have as much power as the Ryzen 9 5950X. A 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, 32GB of RAM, and a fast Nvidia RTX 3090 round out the Skytech Prism II’s performance and workstation functionality.

FAQs On Skytech Prism ii Gaming PC Desktop

Are SkyTech shadow gaming computers good?

Thankfully, the SkyTech Shadow Gaming Computer is a wonderful choice as one of the best gaming PCs for young people who want to play PC games without spending too much money. For great medium-high performance, this machine has a GTX 1050 Ti 4GB paired with a Ryzen 3 1200.

How much do SkyTech PCS have a tendency to overheat?

It runs games very well, is very quiet, and does not overheat. Make sure the space is adequate for it since it is very large. Definitely recommended for streaming and gaming.

Does gaming work well with a 3.60GHz processor?

Gaming performance is more important than having a good clock speed, so it’s generally considered a good clock speed for gaming to be between 3.5 GHz and 4.0 GHz. The CPU of your computer knows how to understand and complete individual tasks.

Conclusion

There is a lot you can get for your money with Skytech’s Prism II. The CPUs are among the best on the market and the graphics card is among the most powerful and quiet.

It is understandable that the Ryzen 9 3900X is no longer available in this economy, considering its almost $4000 asking price, and the fact that even desktops with current-generation graphics cards are hard to find. There’s no way to decide which high-end gaming rig is a better deal when it comes to high-end gaming rigs.

If you have more time to search, you might be able to find a system with similar specs for a bit less. However, that system will not be substantially cheaper than Skytech’s pricing unless and until you find mining craze subsidies.

Therefore, for gamers and productivity enthusiasts who can afford it, the sleek, upgradeable Skytech Prism II offers ‘top-tier performance’ both in gaming and productivity.
