![]() Even Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition had no problem running between 80-90fps with everything turned on and that game is a hard hitter. I played through the excellent Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy on an ultrawide 3440x1440p resolution at ultra settings with DLSS and ray-tracing and the game ran smoothly at an average of 80fps. I’m pretty sure 4K gaming is also possible though you’ll want to drop the settings a little bit in order to maintain a steady 60fps. The 3070Ti is a truly powerful card and combined with the powers of DLSS, I was able to play any game at 1440p ultra settings well above the coveted 60fps. Turning to game benchmarks, Flow: LVL 7 also marked some of the highest scores in 3DMark that I’ve ever seen across a variety of powerful machines. Additionally, the impressive SSD really makes things like booting Windows, opening apps and games ridiculously snappy and responsive. Flow: LVL 7 surpassed the old champion, AMD 5800X, which I reviewed in the Vault Mesh. Benchmark scores show that Intel’s new architecture is a huge improvement over last-gen and easily outperforms AMD’s best. But how does it all come together in performance? Performance and temperatures Flow: LVL7 Synthetic benchmarksĪs you’d expect, the Flow: LVL 7 flies through everything you can throw at it. Looking at the hardware, it’s rather impressive that Aftershock is able to package it all for just $3000 and even offer warranty and lifetime support. A tempered glass side panel gives you a full view of your components that are well lit by the case lighting. And if the massive Zotac GPU is anything to go by, I wouldn’t worry about what you can fit inside this case. The case is cavernous, having more than enough room to house e-ATX Motherboards up to 280mm wide. ![]() The case has a full mesh grill on the front, top and bottom that ensures plenty of dust-free airflow that keeps the internal components cool under load. Our review unit is the $3000 Flow: LVL 7 which is built inside a Lian Li Lancool 215 ATX case that has two massive 200mm ARGB fans on the front and a smaller 120mm on the back for exhaust. Not to worry, they’ve covered a broad enough spectrum so you can surely find a model that swings close enough to what you’d ideally want. Aftershock RTS Flow: LVL 7Īs I’ve mentioned, the RTS machines are WYSIWYG, so the configurations and parts are predetermined by Aftershock for each model. Aftershock also includes 3-years of warranty with each system and a lifetime of customer support. However, you are guaranteed that if it’s on the website, then you’ll get what you pick in a few days. So, there’s no customising or swapping out parts as you would in a custom build. Whatever you pick, these are fixed configurations so what you see is what you get. There are also special edition series like the Signature Series and the Mission series which are based on planetary destinations. The range is divided into levels based on price starting from the $1500 Level 0 which is an AMD Rywith a GTX 1650 and goes all the way to Level 11 12900KF + RTX 3090Ti for almost $9000. With the RTS line, you can start playing immediately since you don’t have to wait for parts to become available. Just getting parts is a logistical nightmare. We’ve reviewed quite a few varied builds from the company including the humble Bolt, the tiny but powerful Vault Mesh and who can forget the insane o pen-loop Explorer Showcase PC?īut if the last two years have taught us anything, it’s that building a custom PC, even for an established business like Aftershock, is way more challenging and expensive than ever. The Aftershock Flow: LVL 7 is just a taste of a very exciting, brand-new line of Ready to ship gaming PC’s that promise the same level of parts, craftsmanship and care that you’d get as if you ordered a custom build.
