Monolith’s surprisingly fun Orc-slaying title delivers a ton of visual fidelity even at the lowest quality settings. So, to maximize eye candy while still maintaining a playable framerate on the CyberPower Trinity, we ran the game’s High quality benchmark configuration here at a couple of resolutions, topping out at 4K, or 3840x2160 to be exact, for the sticklers out there...

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor Performance

Glorious Orc-Slaying Vengeance

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

The CyberPower Trinity Xtreme makes Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor playable at any resolution, even with the quality set to High. If you have a 4K display and want to run the game at the monitor's native resolution you'll need to settle for just under 60fps which is still pretty buttery. However, dial things back to 2560x1440 and you're looking at a frame rate of 104.55 on average. On the other hand, you could dial up image quality to Ultra High settings here and likely still maintain playable frame rates at 4K.

Josh cut his teeth (and hands) on his first PC upgrade in 2000 and was instantly hooked on all things tech. He took a degree in English and tech writing with him to Computer Power User Magazine and spent years reviewing high-end workstations and gaming systems, processors, motherboards, memory and video cards. His enthusiasm for PC hardware also made him a natural fit for covering the burgeoning modding community, and he wrote CPU’s “Mad Reader Mod” cover stories from the series’ inception until becoming the publication editor for Smart Computing Magazine. A few years ago, he returned to his first love, reviewing smoking-hot PCs and components, for HotHardware. When he’s not agonizing over benchmark scores, Josh is either running (very slowly) or spending time with family.
