Look, I’m going to be honest. I am someone who has put off PC gaming for a long time based purely on convenience and price. But it’s hard to deny with the cost of console gaming ever increasing, (looking at you, PS5 Pro) PC gaming is getting more and more attractive.
And that’s where the Overclockers Refract Gaming Jade PC comes in. Hitting the market at £1,499 (often discounted to £1,399) and targeting high frame-rate 1080p/1440p gaming, it certainly makes a compelling argument as to why you might become part of the “PC master race.” Rocking an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPU and 32GB of DDR5 RAM, it certainly will hold its own against some of the best gaming PCs in the UK.
But is it good enough that you’ll finally make the jump from console gaming, ditch that PS5 or Xbox Series X|S and pick up a mouse and keyboard? Surprisingly for me, it might be. Refract Gaming Jade: Specs I was immediately interested in the Refract Jade PC when I was approached to review it. It featured some impressive specs for a PC that positions it firmly in the 1080p/1440p range, with some allowance for 4K too.
For years I’ve been used to gaming on console, or on my severely underpowered PC from 10 years ago - more on that later. I was excited to get my hands on a rig with an RTX 4060 Ti so that I could really push my PC gaming to places it’s never been before. Overall, the Refract Jade has a pretty appealing configuration without breaking the bank.
Granted, building a PC yourself, p.
