Starforge voyager pro review

Published:

When it comes to gaming computers, the size is of course everything. Weight too. You just know that you will get a better impressions of something that you can barely pick up, and which takes up as much space as a tiny fridge or drink cabinet than something more slender and – I say it – possible.

There is some truth in this, because the greater case has more space for air flow, and a larger computer can simply take larger components (and the upper part of the hierarchy of graphics cards can become surprisingly vast), but like everyone who used Acer Predator Helios 18 He knows, size is not everything.

All this is a way to determine that Starforge Voyager Pro It’s a bit huge. You won’t want to wear it a lot either. It is not just the fact that Lian Li O11d Evo RGB is high – I am used to the PC box tower approaching my knee – but it is also wide. This is something that can be called a workstation if it did not have two glass panels and RGB lighting edges around them. This makes it look like someone’s corner offices in a corporate tower block, illuminated for Christmas.

Oh, and bathroom scales show this as weighing almost 23 kg or just over 50 pounds, although it is honestly heavier when you try to move it up the stairs and I would not be surprised if the scales lie to me again. Behind the motherboard there is a graphics that shows Saturn – or another ring planet – and which certainly does not belong to the computer of the architect or engineer. There are many revolutions of the boxes in Starforge, binding to games or just nippy, along with platform tiles, wall art and desk mats.

CPU-Aio cooler, which connects to the triple plaque at the top of the housing-has a nice effect engraved in it, which looks like it comes in infinite depths, while RAM and, of course, the cooler is illuminated. It is a computer that you could look at and deserves a place where you can see it, not on the floor. The problem becomes the settlement of a place for its huge size.

The vast housing contains a surprisingly tiny motherboard, which means that there is a lot of space for this planetary background that it will see. There are no front or rear fans, just the upper radiator and another triple section at the bottom, which GPU must be almost completely blocked. It is a GEFORCE 4080 great, and the Tomahawk X670 motherboard comes from MSI, which also supports the A1000G gold power supply. 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM comes from Tr, and CPU is full-fat AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3D. This is a mighty combination, although it may ask for two things: doubles RAM, especially for anyone who wants to operate it as a computer creation computer, and the final update of the RTX 5000 card.

This is incoming, with the RTX 5080 version on sale from the end of January this year, although it will be in a more circumscribed number, at least near launch, and we do not have detailed information about what exactly will do with such a high price of this super version RTX 4080 Considering that they have the same 999 USD MSRP, you would have hope, but the almost inevitable deficiency of the RTX 50 series means that the standard supply and demand rules will probably enhance prices.

The page has a full review of Ryzen 7 9800X3D, if you want, but wide beats are that this octa -core system is probably the best game processor at the time of writing, thanks to its high speed (5.2 GHz Boost, unlocked for overclocking) and its layer of hats V second generation 3D.

Storage is supported by 2 TB SSD, model PCIE 4.0 rated for a minimum reading speed of 7000 Mb/s. In order in tests, at a lower same speed as other PCIe 4.0 disks, but the motherboard supports PCIE 5.0, so another update path is available if it is ever required. 2 TB is quite a lot of games, but time can come when more is required and additional bandwidth is available.

For fun, I put Cyberpunk 2077 into the radiation tracking mode at 4K and DLSS, and I got an average of 57.6 FPS, which we simply emphasized what we already knew: RTX 4080 Super is a highly talented card.

Better than RTX 4070, worse than RTX 4090, exactly where it is to be. Its average temperature under load is lower than the RTX 4070 Super and RTX 4090 cards that were tested, which suggests a combination of the cooling system and housing space, ensures good heat distraction.

However, there is somewhere Voyager Pro exceeds some systems based on RTX 4090, with Baldur’s Gate 3. This is one of the best examples of the game that is beautifully scaled with better gaming processors. And that Ryzen 7 9800x3D is the best in the area and absolutely flies with the Starforge machine in BG3.

Compared to HP Omen 35L, with a similar Super RTX 4080, this machine is ahead of one of the best games of the last few years. Before the next omen HP, which I tested with RTX 4090 and Core i9 13900K. And not in a tiny way; I am talking about almost 50 fps in advance.

This is a disadvantage: it’s raucous. During the Shader compilation in the black myth: Wukong his fans turn to their maximum speed, and although this is not a acute sound that will cut your ears, you will definitely notice it. An additional space in the case can act as a resonance chamber to strengthen noise, but whatever happens, there is a lot of heat dropped. The sound is the sound of anoly bearings turning in perfect alignment and it is really satisfying.

Buy if …

You want a game computer and lenses of money and do not care about the noise level: Voyager Pro is certainly not budget-friendly or subtle, but it absolutely performs the task in the game.

You want strenuous work that computer components together are made for you: The quality of workmanship and selection of components from Voyager Pro are perfectly made.

Don’t buy if …

You live 15 floors and the elevator is again: OWW, my spine.

What you really want is the GPU model that starts with “50”: At this point, it is hard to ignore the elephant of the 50 series, but you Voyager Pro will receive improvements at the end of the month, completely replacing the RTX 4080 version.

During the game, fortunately, it falls to a lower level, unless Ray tracking or other weighty loads are required, but GPU is noticeably louder than the cooler processor. This means that at idle, the computer can sit relatively discreetly – or as prudent as 23 kg of black plastic and metal can be decorated with lights – as long as you have to draw on its power.

“Pro” in the computer name suggests that Starforge has more than a computer game, and even in AI Denoising Photoshop, which can be a painful experience in integrated graphics, especially with 60 MP RAW files that you get nowadays, IT, IT It whip in less than 10 seconds. And is Elite model (Core i9/64 GB/RTX 4090) that it costs even more if you want to download it to your company.

A huge computer computer like this is a statement. He talks about the need for a huge computing force, screams from the roofs that you are very seriously approaching games and other graphic applications. He also suggests that you can worry a lot of weight, especially if you live on the upper floor, but the investment here may be better adjourned for several months to see what 50 RTX series cards do differently differently because of the impressive compilation.
