Before we jumped into the games themselves, we ran a few more standard benchmarks, including SiSoft SANDRA and Cinebench.

SiSoft SANDRA

Synthetic Benchmarks

SiSoft SANDRA has a variety of tests that stress specific components or simulate certain tasks. We put the AVADirect Mini Gaming PC through the CPU Arithmetic, Multimedia, Memory Bandwidth, and Physical Disks tests.

The Mini Gaming PC fared better than most systems in these tests, but the lack of emphasis on graphics evened the playing field a bit, particularly with iBuypower’s Revolt, which includes a Core i7 3770K CPU and a GTX 670 graphics card. AVADirect’s system did break away in the Memory test, posting 24.38GBps.

Cinebench R11.5 64-bit

Content Creation Performance

Based on Maxon Cinema 4D software, this test uses a 3D scene and polygon and texture manipulation to assess GPU and CPU performance.

This test is CPU-intensive, so the Titan doesn’t get a chance to throw its weight around here, either. That didn’t stop the AVA Mini Gaming PC from taking top honors.
