The CyberPower and Dino PC systems are both equipped with a Radeon HD 7950 3GB graphics card, so it's no surprise to find that the 3DMark results are almost identical.

What's interesting is the Scan 3XS Performance GTX - it's roughly Ā£150 cheaper than Dino PC's Raptor X79 OC, but more potent in the graphics department thanks to its GeForce GTX 680 graphics card.

As stated earlier in the review, we'd like to see Dino PC provide an option for a GeForce GTX 680 sooner rather than later, but for some users there may be no need. At a 1080p resolution, the Radeon HD 7950 is plenty sufficient for smooth frame rates in Aliens vs. Predator.

The level of performance from a Radeon HD 7950 will vary between titles - and you can get more detail in our in-depth review of the card - but it'll speed through most games with ease. Even with maximum quality settings, DinoPC's Raptor X79 OC is able to churn out in excess of 80 frames per second in Just Cause 2 at 1,920x1,080.
