Gaming is Trident X 9th's primary purpose, and as expected the combination of Core i7-9700K and GeForce RTX 2080 delivers strong credentials. Gaming performance is excellent at either a FHD or QHD resolution, and depending on title, there's some mileage to be had at 4K UHD, too.

This PC hooked up to a 2,560x1,440 monitor with 144Hz G-Sync? A tasty combo, and if you're eager to get a taste of ray tracing in the near future, we can confirm that Trident X 9th scores 6,036 marks in the 3DMark Port Royal test, right in line with our expectations of an RTX 2080 machine.
