In this article I will provide my December 2023 review of the Skytech 011 Dynamic (ST-PRISM2L-0685-B-SK) and will also talk about some of the games you can play with this prebuilt PC. I will analyze the following:
- Overview of the entire build
- Processor used for Skytech 011 Dynamic (ST-PRISM2L-0685-B-SK)
- Graphics Card (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti)
- RAM and Hard Drive
- Conclusion
Overview of the Skytech 011 Dynamic
This PC is going to be a little bit more advance of a prebuilt than the last review I did of Skytech’s Azure 2. With this PC, you have the Intel i7 12700F processor with 32GB DDR5 5200MHZ RAM, NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti graphics card, and a 1TB NVME hard drive. It’s a pretty well-balanced machine that will get you excellent performance on 1080P, 1440P and 4K resolutions at max graphics settings for most modern AAA gaming titles. There are some things that could be better about this machine, which I will get to in the section about the CPU below.
Processor used for Skytech 011 Dynamic
The Intel i7 12700F processor is an upper-mid range processor. It was great when it was released back in January of 2022. We have since seen Intel i7 13700F, which was released last January (2023) and now we are seeing the emergence of an Intel i7 14700F, which will be released shortly in 2024. Once that release hits the market, the 12700F will be two generations behind. That’s not a terribly bad problem, but it’s also not the greatest feeling to be two generations behind on a new PC. You should also note that you can’t overclock the Intel i7 12700F. For overclocking Intel processors, you need the last letter to be a K (e.g. 12700K).
That being said, you’re getting it at a discount and you’re still going to get whopping amounts of FPS out of your games on max graphics settings at 1080P, 1440P and 4K resolutions. So, in the end, does it really matter? Maybe it will five years from now, but at that point you should refresh your gaming PC anyway.
Graphics Card for the Skytech 011 Dynamic
The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti is an upper-mid range graphics card. It’s purpose built to drive high FPS on 1080P and 1440P while handling above 50 FPS for 4K resolution on max graphics settings. This GPU will handle most modern AAA games like Elden Ring, RoboCop: Rogue City, Hogwarts, and Starfield. What I also like about this card being in the Skytech 011 Dynamic is that it pairs nicely with an Intel iSeries CPU. Both optimize their components for gaming, which results in less bugs and performance issues. The 4070 Ti came out earlier in 2023 so it’s going to future proof your prebuilt PC for years to come.
RAM and Hard Drive
32GB of DDR5 5200MHz RAM is an investment for future-proofing purposes. As of December 2023, the only game known to potentially require this much RAM is Hogwarts Legacy. For most current gaming experiences in 2023 and likely extending into 2024 and beyond, this RAM configuration won’t act as a bottleneck. Presently, the majority of games perform optimally with just 16GB of RAM, although game requirements are progressively evolving.
Regarding storage, a 1TB NVME drive offers swift performance and ample space. However, many individuals may benefit from owning an external drive for economical storage to store media such as videos and pictures over the years. I suggest considering a product like the Buffalo LinkStation shown below, providing 4TB of capacity (2TB after mirroring/RAID 1), serving as a reliable backup destination and offering versatile storage capabilities.
Conclusion
The 011 Dynamic prebuilt PC from Skytech Gaming is an exceptional performance powerhouse that significantly boosts FPS across 1080P and 1440P resolutions while easily meeting the demands of 4K monitors. Personally, I’m not fond of ultra-wide monitors and prefer the option of two INNOCN 28″ 4K UHD 3840 x 2160 IPS Computer Monitors showcased below. These monitors offer an immersive gaming experience at 4K resolution without excessively impacting performance. Moreover, considering the cost of 4K monitors, these options are quite reasonably priced.
