Performance Analysis: How Did It Turn Out?
As everything came together, an impressive build budgeted at around $1,147 was finally ready for testing. The key question remained: would this assembly outperform a previous handpicked configuration secured for a similar cost?
The team compared performance metrics between two different builds—one using Amazon's overall choices and the other constructed using carefully selected components. They engaged in performance benchmarking with demanding games like Horizon Zero Dawn, and while the systems operated, a clear discrepancy appeared: the handpicked configuration outperformed Amazon’s selection significantly, demonstrating nearly double the frames in gameplay.
