Cyberpower Ultra Fusion Review

👤by David Mitchelson Comments 📅08-01-14
Conclusion

This is our first outing with Cyberpower but we can confirm it’s certainly been a positive experience. While many will argue the toss over basing a system around AMD’s FX platform over Intel’s Haswell this particular subject will always be debatable. There are still some benefits to using AMD over Intel.

At the heart of Ultra Fusion is the AMD FX-9590 – an 8-core processor which operates at 4.7GHz. In our 2D benchmarks this chip demonstrated good performance for encoding and processing usage. Cyberpower has picked reputable brands for their selection of core components which includes GIGABYTE for the motherboard, Kingston for the DDR3, PowerColor for the graphics card. Speaking of which, the PowerColor R9 290X revealed strong performance in a range of popular gaming titles. We are left in no doubt that the system as a whole can deliver brilliant gaming performance.



Our particular sample came with Windows 8.1 pre-installed – if you prefer Windows 7 this can be selected when configuring the Ultra Fusion, you aren’t stuck with any set configuration. In fact, components can be swapped out if you want to select other hardware. As a standard rule of thumb, our system comes with 3 Year Labour, 2 Year Parts, 1 Month Collect and Return plus Life-Time Technical Support which is rather impressive and certainly gives you that peace of mind.

Priced at £1499 GBP the Ultra Fusion under this particular configuration is a worthwhile investment. In our testing it revealed a capable offering for both 2D and 3D usage and as we mentioned above, the warranty and support add extra value.

Ultra Fusion is a proficient computer system which features a plethora of great hardware from reputable brands. If you’re seeking a burly, capable computer system which can handle the latest gaming titles then Ultra Fusion is worth your consideration.
