0

NZXT which also offers pre-assembled PCs launches a new configuration. The latter will also be the most affordable of its catalog and for good reason, it does without a dedicated GPU. However, according to the brand, the Foundation PC is still capable of running GTA V at 60 FPS in 1080, provided that you cut back on the graphics quality.

Foundation: the NZXT PC to play MOBA, GTA V and Fortnite!

NZXT FondationWith its new PC, the brand offers us a machine mounted inside its H510. Two colors are proposed with a black or white case.

In terms of configuration, we find an APU signed AMD with the Ryzen 5 5600G. The latter has six cores and twelve threads. On the frequency side, we find a boost to 4.4 GHz. However, what interests us here is its graphics part RADEON Vega 7. Via the latter, the brand announces 60 FPS on GTA V, 112 on Valorant, 72 on Fortnite and 185 on League of Legend in 1080p. That said, the brand also states that lowering the graphics quality may be necessary.

The rest of the machine displays 16 GB of RAM clocked at 3000 MHz as well as storage via 500 GB M.2 NVMe SSD. On the motherboard side, we find a model with a B550 chipset, the power supply displays 650W with 80+ Bronze certification. And on the cooling side, NZXT turns to DeepCool and its Gammax GTE v2, an aircooling heatsink.

Note also that a mini-ITX version will be available soon and will be based on the H1 case of the brand. Here, no change on the CPU/RAM side. Nevertheless, the choice of motherboard is a B450i Gaming ITX, the power supply is SFX with a block of 650W in 80+ Gold and we switch to an AIO in 140 mm.

As for the price, the Foundation with the H510 case is already $799.00, regardless of the color. However, the H1 version does not have a price yet. On the other hand, it would not be surprising if it is more expensive in view of the cooling and the better performance of the power supply.
