MIFCOM Blackbox: High-End with NVIDIA Titan X / SLI – Presentation

MIFCOM is the only system integrator and NVIDIA partner for Switzerland, Germany and Austria building systems with NVIDIA’s latest and greatest Titan X (Pascal) graphics card. Since we’re quite into high-end gaming hardware here at ocaholic we’re going to show you around those systems and we’ll give you a preview on how powerful those rigs are. On top of that all MIFCOM Blackbox systems can be custom configured.

Even MIFCOMs Blackbox Titan X Alpha features impressive specifications. There is for example an Intel Core i7-6800K processor, which is based on the latest Broadwell-E architecture. This CPU features six cores and thanks to Hyperthreading there are 12 Threads available. Apart from that the processors sits on an ASUS X99-A II motherboard next to 16 Gigabyte Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400 memory. Since nobody likes waiting for applications to load, there is a Samsung 950 Pro M.2 SSD with 256 Gigabyte of capacity. This little beast is capable of easily surpassing the 2 Gigabyte per second performance barrier. But apparently we’ve been saving the best, the exclusive NVIDIA Titan X graphics card, for the end. As of today this is simply the fastet single GPU pixel accelerator avialable. Nevertheless, this has been enough text, now we’re going to have a look at what story games and benchmarks are going to tell.

MIFCOM Blackbox Titan X Mainframe

 

Compared to MIFCOMs Blackbox Titan X Alpha, the Blackbox Titan X Mainframe ships with an Intel Core i7-6850K processor. This CPU features 40 Lanes, which is 12 more than what you get with the i7-6800K. These 12 additional Lanes are actually neccessary in order to support SLI configurations. There is also a ASUS X99-E WS motherboard, 32 Gigabyte of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2666 memory and a larger 512 Gigabyte Samsung 950 Pro SSD.
At this point enough has been said, lets now have a look at performance.

Apparently both MIFCOM Blackbox Titan X systems are very powerful and especially in the graphics department these systems are highly capable. If you’re looking for a PC with NVIDIA Titan X graphics card, then there is almost no way past MIFCOMs Blackbox Alpha or Mainframe systems. Furthermore there is even the possibility to individualize those base systems thanks to an extensive configurator. Using MIFCOMs configurator you can completely customize the Blackbox by changing everything from the CPU, to the memory, lighting or even service.

Talking about service we’d like to mention that be default all MIFCOM system are backed up by a three year warranty, which can be extended to five years. The service package includes a clean installation without any bloatware, a complete backup on a separate partition, a simple Pick-up & Return shipment if necessary as well as remote support by the companies own technicians. There is also a technical support which a customer can call at any time and it’s in no way linked to your warranty plan. That means MIFCOM will also take your call if your warranty plan has expired.
