Review on Skytech Gaming Shiva HDMI Gaming Desktop: A Powerful Build for Enhanced Gaming Experience by Darron Lopez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Slow wifi but good computer

I just got this computer, so far everything works fine except WiFi. The card installed has a limit of about 80MB to download and an average of about 40 in speed tests (my ISP gives me 300 and all other devices average 200+). I mostly play Escape From Tarkov, I'm averaging 60-90 fps now, but when I play with friends I usually stream on Discord so they can see where I am and what I'm doing. It wasn't uncommon for the WiFi to turn off completely on this computer during playback and streaming. It would take a few seconds to reboot, and then I would have to reconnect to the game. I have died several times because of this. I started by checking the drivers, they were all up to date, I contacted tech support with no real help (supposed to update drivers and reinstall windows) which didn't help. I've spent hours on the internet looking for solutions. I eventually found that the installed hardware was limited by these slow speeds and was probably the culprit. While this solution costs $20-$40 to buy a new WiFi card or adapter, it's pretty ridiculous that they've made such a cheap and important part of the system cheaper, especially for gaming. But otherwise I had no further problems. I tried Battlefield 2042 on high settings with ray tracing and got 60+, other games are even capped at 144 due to my monitor. This is a great PC. Just expect to buy some extras. I bought a new Wi-Fi adapter and some more RAM (upgraded from 16GB to 32GB) which will help me get even more FPS in the games I play once it comes out. The case looks great and is quiet. I have had no temperature issues and would recommend this product. This is a pre-assembled vehicle, so some parts are likely to be cheaper.
