Player: Three

The CPU is like the brain of your build, coordinating all components for your PC to run and impacting in-game FPS.

You can choose between two CPUs for Player: Three. Both are Intel® 13th generation processors that will provide high performance but have two key differences.

• Clock Speed: Measured in GHz. The higher the number, the faster the computer. You’ll notice a higher clock speed when opening programs, files and exporting photos.

• Total Cores: More cores allows your computer to do more things at once. You’ll appreciate more cores if you often have lots of programs running or open lots of web browser tabs.

The GPU is considered by many to be one of the most important components in your build. That's because it has one of the most important jobs: rendering what you do on your PC to your display! When considering GPUs, here are a few features to consider:

• GPU VRAM: More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings. For quality gaming, aim for a minimum of 6GB VRAM. Above this enhances game detail.
• CUDA Core: CUDA is NVIDIA's technology that enables faster processing on their GPUs (just like AMD’s Stream Processors.) Generally, the more CUDA cores the more graphics rendering, simulations, and deep learning performances.
• Clock Speed: Higher clock speeds enhance performance in gaming, while more cores boost performance under heavy workloads.

RAM is crucial for running applications and games on your PC. It stores temporary data to help your PC manage multiple tasks at once. More RAM enables better multitasking and responsiveness.

Your storage device holds the operating system, applications, and files, with speeds measured in MB/s (Megabytes per Second). Faster storage retrieves information more quickly.

Yes, the Player: Three Series is designed to be VR-ready, offering enough graphical power to run virtual reality games and applications smoothly for an immersive VR experience.

We recommend checking the specific requirements of the VR games you intend to play to ensure the best experience.

Due to many software, driver, and game updates you may find that exact game performance may change over time. Due to these changes we periodically re-test many popular titles to account for these active development, live service games as well as driver and software updates.
