Comparatively, the Origin Millennium and its more pedestrian hexa-core Intel Core i7-8700K processor racked up 1,526 points in Cinebench and 24,978 points in Geekbench. After reviewing the $4,311 (about £3,050, AU$5,440) Origin Millennium and $4,129 (about £3,175, AU$5,225) Alienware Area 51, we didn’t think there could be a more expensive gaming PC. The front includes three USB 3.1 ports, a USB-C port, and two audio jacks. The top-most grille folds down to reveal a CD drive. Depending on where you are in the world, there are a whole range of different models listed on Acer’s site but whether you can find them anywhere is another matter. Thank you for signing up to PC Gamer. The lowest-configuration Orion 9000 starts at $2,499 and offers a six-core Core i7-8700K, a single GTX 1080 Ti, 16GB of memory, and 2TB of storage with a 256GB SSD. What’s more, this is all with the Predator Sense Fan control set to Auto. Nonetheless, this is otherwise a very capable processor. As for the overclocking button, this pushes the 7800X from a typical clock speed of 4GHz while under load to 4.2GHz, which is a nice little boost considering it’s a fully warrantied and guaranteed leap. The Orion 9000 also supports 802.11ac wireless and Bluetooth 4.2. Essentially it's Acer's Alienware Area 51, but with a darkened, EMI-shielded tempered glass side panel for pretties. Around the other side of the motherboard tray, there’s room for up to two hard drives and four SSDs – all of which can be mounted onto tool-less drive trays. PredatorSense is pre-installed on the Predator Orion 9000, and gives you quick access to your key gaming settings. As for gaming, this is still a very capable machine, with its GTX 1080 easily providing playable performance at resolutions of 1440p and below, plus 4K is possible in some games. The Acer Predator Orion 9000 is a big step up in both size and aesthetics from the design of Predator G6 and G9 that preceded it. Custom cooling features galore come packed into this large case. Along with the prominent Acer Predator logos and text on the two side panels, the pull-releases for said side panels, the handles on the top and of course the wheels on the back, it’s all a bit much for our liking. Exact configuration options vary depending on where you are in the world. CPU: Intel® Core™ i9 Extreme Edition Processor; MEMORY: 128GB Quad-channel DDR4 RAM @ 2666Mhz; AUDIO: Realtek ALC1220; AUDIO ENGINE: Creative Sound BlasterX® 720°; GRAPHICS: Up to 4-way Graphics And that's with the peak of real-time ray traced shadows enabled. There's also a retractable stand further down the chassis for hanging your audio headset of choice. 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8700K processor (Up to 4.7GHz), 32GB DDR4 2666Mhz RAM (expandable to 64GB), 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD & 2TB 7200RPM HDD But without an SLI profile in most games you lose a huge chunk of that potential performance as one GPU will just be spinning its fan doing nothing. Notably, though, the likes of the similarly priced and far smaller Corsair One Elite and Zotac MEK1 outperformed it. Support for 4K visuals, quad-channel DDR4 2666 RAM and Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel® AVX-512) is just a taste of what’s possible with X-Series processors. An angular monster of a personal computer, with a borderline offensive array of componentry jammed inside its capacious innards. An angular monster of a personal computer, with a borderline offensive array of componentry jammed inside its capacious innards. At idle it was hitting just 24°C while under load it rose to only 67°C. That's still a fast machine (and certainly not cheap), but clearly in a different class than our wildly topped-out test configuration. More light-blue interior lighting matches the default glow on the exterior, giving the whole works a cool, high-tech vibe. Even with the current RGB craze, the overall look here is a bit tacky. But I was not to be deterred. It would be a crime for this extremely expensive gaming desktop not to deliver the best performance we’ve ever seen. The new Acer Predator Orion 9000 is a beast. Carry handles and travel case-style wheels make it easy for you to lug the Acer Predator Orion 9000 about. He built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 16, and finally finished bug-fixing the Cyrix-based system around a year later. The front houses a light-up power button and Acer Predator logo at the top while lower down are Predator logo-aping lines flanking the ventilation grilles. On the 1080p, 240Hz Predator XB3 monitor Acer also shipped over, it averaged 145fps with the RTX 2070 Super pairing in the latest Tomb Raider. Considering the majority of the Predator gaming-related promotional materials revolves around space, we’d say that Acer successfully evokes the sci-fi motif it was aiming to achieve with this gaming desktop. Don’t blink. He spends entirely too much time on Twitter (find him @MJBuzzi), with which he has a complicated relationship. It’s more likely than you think. Size: 11.8 x 27.6 x 25.3 inches (30 x 70 x 64.3cm; W x D x H). Performance monster, including greater-than-60fps 4K gaming. We also cautiously roamed the halls of Talos 1 in Prey at similarly maxed out 4K setting for a smooth 90-110 fps experience. That’s enough to be not excessively distracting but certainly noticeable above a quiet office environment. Having two of the top-end graphics cards in the world is a slightly more reasonable purchase, especially if you plan to play on a high-frame rate or Ultra HD display. An airflow solution dubbed IceTunnel 2.0 partitions the system into multiple thermal zones, directing heat out and away from the components. Every time we ask the question either company will respond with the onus now being on game developers to implement multi-GPU support via the different multi-adapter levels baked into the DirectX 12 API. You have to tilt the PC back onto the two wheels, like an old-school wheely suitcase, so it’s not quite as convenient as a full set of casters, but it means the PC stays nice and secure when it’s not being moved.

The 3D performance is mouth-watering for gamers, but of course, you get what you pay for. Still, the glorious experience of peeling the plastic aside—which is probably not worth the price tag alone—the Orion 9000 is an almost ludicrous machine. Measuring 27.63 by 11.8 by 25.32 inches and weighing 48.75 pounds, it takes up more desk space than most people have, and will likely end up on the floor. The configuration we have for review uses a six-core/twelve-thread Intel Core i7-7800X and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080. So yeah, that's at 1080p, but still pretty effective frame rates, I'm sure you'll agree. Add a bit of speed to your boot up, game loading or give an HDD that SSD-like kick with up to 32GB* of Intel® Optane™ memory. Power Supply: 1,000W modular power supply A hi-res press render of the Acer Predator Orion 9000. It’s no shrinking violet in terms of styling either. At this point, what couldn’t you buy for $8,000? One example of how X-series processors adapt to your needs is with Intel®’s Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 – which identifies critical workloads and directs the two fastest cores to deal with them. An 18-core processor is overkill for purely PC gaming or any single task. Graphics: 2 x Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (11GB GDDR5X VRAM; SLI) But damn, it was satisfying. The lack of a full driver also had the odd affect of making it take forever for a right click on the desktop to do anything. That shielded glass side panel came with a super tight layer of plastic—which I'm only now hoping wasn't actually some special kind of material that's intrinsic to the EMI shielding—and it took a lot of effort to peel off. In some places I actually had to use both hands to peel away the covering, so tightly was it held onto by the tempered glass. I could go on with Exhibit C being the installed 64GB of quad-channel memory, but I think you get the idea. The desktop does run cool, though it pushes out a good amount of heat, as you'd expect given the fierce components in this test rig. However, if all out performance and a bold design statement is what you’re after, the Orion 9000 may be right up your street. NY 10036. You will receive a verification email shortly. Up to five* RGB 120mm fans are strategically placed throughout the case to guide airflow through the system. Also, a plastic flap guides some of the front air to the back of the system, where it cools the storage devices. The problem is, that impressive cooling comes at the expensive of noise. The rear even has wheels, with handles along the top, for toting it around. Considering the i9 10980XE is a $1,000 chip on its own, this build might be a little more. The removable panels of the Predator Orion 9000 make for easier modding. There are three spare PCI-E expansion slots, along with six empty RAM slots, plenty of SATA connections, plus there’s a spare 5.25-inch drive bay. Thank you for signing up to TechRadar. Overall, the showy design is likely to be divisive. With this much memory, you can finally make extreme multi-tasking the norm. Though even here the cheaper 8700K is still faster.

It almost goes without saying that you probably can’t buy this gaming PC simply because so few of us will have the expendable income to afford it – ourselves definitely included. Standing in at 11.8 x 27.6 x 25.3 inches (30 x 70 x 64.3cm; W x D x H) with a starting weight of 42.33 pounds (19.2kg), this is a monolith of a gaming desktop. This means that, as you'd hope, the Orion 9000 excels at day-to-day tasks and multitasking without slowdown. The Origin PC Genesis ($1,832.00 at ORIGIN PC) is one of the few similarly sized desktops (25.26 by 9.75 by 24.8 inches), while the powerful Falcon Northwest Talon (17.5 by 8.2 by 19 inches) is much shorter. This level of attention to cooling is clearly responsible for much of the system's size. Although, the fact you have to leave the two screws in the top corners of the panel unscrewed and hanging lose to allow the panel to open seems to to defeat the object a little. Specifications may vary depending on model and/or region. Those dual Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti’s also come in mighty handy for tackling the most demanding graphics benchmarks and games. RAM: 128GB (DDR4 2,666MHz) To put the prices we're dealing with for the Orion 9000 and its ilk in perspective, though, the iMac Pro costs several thousand dollars less, even with the built-in display. Also useful are those quick-release side panels. Likewise, the graphics card didn’t have any issues with heat. © 2020 Acer Inc. The PSU zone is self-contained while the GPU, CPU and storage zones split the cool intake air through both sides of the case. 4K gaming is a difficult task for any single graphics card, and 60fps (frames per second) is a rare accomplishment with settings maxed out. Thankfully it's a lot easier to build a gaming rig now there are no motherboard jumper switches, though he has been breaking technology ever since… at least he gets paid for it now. Here is the Acer Predator Orion 9000 configuration sent to TechRadar for review: CPU: 2.6GHz Intel Core i9-7980XE (octadeca-core, 4.2GHz with turbo boost) The future-proof behemoth features TWO of NVIDIA’s flagship GPUs in SLI* – each with 11GB of ultra-fast GDDR6 memory over an NVLINK™ bridge. For instance, in the relatively demanding games, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, the Orion 9000 delivered 93fps and 116fps at 1440p, respectively. But, at the very least, for that incredibly tiny subset of users, they’ll come to be amazed by how performant this ultimate gaming PC is, and it’s a clear sign that Acer’s PC building chops have improved greatly. I’ll go through all features the PC has to offer, and discuss temperatures, power draw, overclocking, system noise, and gaming benchmarks to help you decide if the price is worth it.US Pricing: i9-7980XE + 2x 1080Ti SLI: https://amzn.to/2LYrRwDi7-8700K + 1080Ti: https://amzn.to/2PBB28wUK Pricing: https://amzn.to/2SLccJh► Subscribe for weekly tech videos!https://www.youtube.com/JarrodsTech?sub_confirmation=1My camera gear:Panasonic GH5: http://amzn.to/2DRh2K7Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Lens: http://amzn.to/2DQHe7IMetabones Speedbooster: http://amzn.to/2mSDCtKDavis \u0026 Sanford Tripod: http://amzn.to/2FXkC6cRode Videomic Pro: http://amzn.to/2FUDOBH--- Follow me ---Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/JarrodsTechFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jarrodstechWe are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

Unfortunately, this gaming PC comes with an egregious price, which will make it accessible to a select few. Okay, I'm digressing here... but, when the promise of multi-GPU gaming was there, you could buy a mid-range GPU with the threat of high-end performance down the line. It would sit there for minutes before the menu would appear. A bunch of the far cheaper new 10th Gen Comet Lake chips, such as the 10-core, 20-thread Core i9 10900K, will go way further than that. This configuration includes an 18-core Intel Core i9-7980XE Extreme Edition CPU, dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards, 128GB of memory (the motherboard has eight DIMM slots total), a 512GB SSD, and a 2TB hard drive. I mean, you could never call it unobtrusive, because it's so MASSIVE the chassis needs wheels, but it's certainly not loud. Check out those grilles. The other issue is the availability of different configurations. Regardless of where you fall personally, if you're part of the niche that can spend $8,000 on a gaming desktop and are drawn to the design, the Acer Predator Orion 9000 is a beast of a performer and a thoughtfully crafted machine that can do it all extremely well. As for the Orion 9000’s cooling, you’d certainly hope for some impressively low numbers given the amount of space for air to flow round the case. All models subject to availability. We’ll always tell you what we find. In comparison, even the ultra-compact Corsair One Elite outpaces it with scores of 5365 and 23290 respectively, thanks to its 8700K.

And for such a small niche of PC gaming it's just not worth it… and so that niche shrinks ever more. Storage - 2TB SSD, 500GB hotswappable SSD. Origin squeezed a bit more out of the same cards with the test-model Genesis it sent us, the Alienware Area-51 managed less than both, and the Talon's dual Titan Xp cards topped the heap. Our expert industry analysis and practical solutions help you make better buying decisions and get more from technology.

Its 3DMark scores demonstrate a high level of aptitude for 3D tasks, gaming or otherwise, another check mark for the system as a professional media machine. The Acer Predator Orion 9000 is by far the most over the top gaming desktop we’ve ever reviewed. Our highest-end system already came packed to the gills with two graphics cards and all eight memory slots already filled, but we could see ourselves easily adding another GPU and more RAM to a lower-tier system.
