If you’re looking to invest in a new
gaming rig in time for the holidays,
Nvidia has decided to make sure you
can select a PC that has its seal of
approval by branding select systems as
GeForce GTX Battleboxes.
That’s right, GeForce GTX Battlebox is
now a thing manufacturers will be
vying to get added to their top-of-
the-line PCs. Nvidia says it has
decided to implement this program
because of all the great games that
are coming to PC in the near future
that benefit from having all their
settings turned up to 11.
Key titles mentioned include Watch
Dogs, Batman: Arkham Origins , Call of
Duty: Ghosts , Splinter Cel: Blacklist ,
and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag .(see image)
So far four system builder brands have
managed to achieve GeForce GTX
Battlebox status. They are: Digital
Storm, Falcon Northwest, Maingear,
and Origin PCs. Others will surely
follow.
In order to qualify, a PC has to use
either a GeForce GTX 780 or Titan
graphics cards in 2- or 3-way SLI
configurations. The processor has to be
an overclocked Intel Haswell Core i5 or
i7 chip, DDR3 memory (16GB or 32GB)
and a fast SSD storage solution must
also be in use. Not only does this
ensure you can play the games as the
developers intended, but both Nvidia
and the system builders can claim
GeForce GTX Battleboxes are “4K
ready.”
As you’d expect, these systems will not
be cheap (think $2,000 to $3,000), but
then again if you are looking to
purchase the ultimate gaming rig the
Battlebox seal of approval is
guaranteeing you a seriously powerful
machine. It just comes at a premium
price, probably with part of that
premium being applied because it is a
Battlebox.
