Shuttle XPC Cube SZ270R9 Barebones PC Review

Synthetic Benchmarks
Since we equipped this system with a faster CPU and GPU combination vs pretty much all of the systems we’ve reviewed to date, it’s no shock that it’s delivering frankly huge performance. It topped our 3DMark charts. Again, I must stress, performance is based on the CPU, GPU, Memory and HDD you install. If you put an i3 and a GTX 1050 in here, you’ll be looking towards the bottom of these charts, obviously. The same was true in Unigine, clocking a staggering 5539.
I normally dive into detail on each performance chart, but that doesn’t seem right here, as we’re not reviewing my GPU and CPU. However, it’s clear that the motherboard on this barebones, as well as the PSU it came with, are more than capable of letting our hardware fly. If anything, scores were only a few percent slower than the CPU and GPU reviews we did in high-end motherboard solutions; which is what we would expect.
