2021 Newest HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop Review

Latest pricing, specs and HP gaming PC review. Updated December 2023. How many PC games will it run? Is it a good choice for a PC gamer? Should you buy this HP computer?

For a PC gamer, the most important component in the system is the graphics card. This is the supermodel part that will make or break the setup and is responsible for making all your games look awesome. The more powerful the graphics card the higher, smoother frame rates you will get, the higher resolution you can run at, and the better your games will look. For graphics, this HP computer has a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660. We rate this NVIDIA GPU as powerful enough to run 803 games at a recommended level.

Next on the list has to be the CPU. The processor at the heart of your gaming desktop is the brains of the outfit, and is vital for making sure that you can get the most out of your graphics card when it comes to gaming performance. The number of cores isn’t vital for games, beyond four cores you get diminishing returns, but you want to make sure what you do have run at a high frequency. The 2021 Newest HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop has a Intel Core i7-10700F capable of running at 2.9 GHz. That level of power from an Intel chip means it is rated to run 951 of the most popular 1000 PC games at a recommended level.

The level of RAM in a gaming desktop is also important. More system memory allows your PC to churn through large amounts of data quickly, and for today’s massive open gameworlds it’s vital to have that information accessed quickly to speed up game loads. Having too little RAM can mean laggy frames and a poor experience.

This rig comes with a whopping 32 GB of system RAM. More system memory will allow you to do more intensive PC work, such as easy video editing of your streams, but it’s not going to make your games run faster.

This pre-built gaming PC can run GTA V, PUBG, Red Dead Redemption 2, Apex Legends, Minecraft and Fortnite - some of the the biggest PC games at a recommended level.
