Corsair One Pro i200 - Gaming PC

Is the Corsair One Pro i200 a gaming PC with graphic design capabilities, or a creative powerhouse with gaming capabilities?

I'm not sure after a few days with the system, but I do know that it handles both cases admirably. Although potential customers may (and should) question whether it's worth spending $4,500 on a system with some parts that are now old, this costly PC combines a stunning aesthetic with fairly powerful technology.

While the Corsair One Pro i200 does a lot of things right, it was released immediately before Nvidia's huge push for RTX 30-series GPUs. As a result, the system ships with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card, which is still powerful but not exactly future-proof.

1- Specifications:

• VR Ready: Yes
• Processor: Intel Core i9-10940X
• RAM: 64 GB
• Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
• Storage: 2 TB SSD
• Accessories: None

2- Design:

Perhaps it's because I'd just finished evaluating the massive Alienware Aurora R11, but I was taken aback by how compact the Corsair One Pro i200 is when I pulled it out of the box.

The One Pro i200 is a sleek silver rectangular box with two customizable LED strips and a few elegant Corsair branding going along the front. It's one of the tiniest desktops we've ever tested, measuring only 15.0 x 7.9 x 6.9 inches and fitting neatly on top of a desk or in an entertainment center. ( It does, however, weigh 23.4 pounds, so don't put it on a weak surface.

Ports and upgradability:

On paper, the Corsair One Pro i200 appears to have a lot of ports. A 3.5 mm audio jack, two USB-A ports, and an HDMI port are all included on the front. (Yes, the HDMI port is in the front, possibly to make VR connections easier.) In any case, it took me an embarrassingly long time to find out that it wasn't on the back of the machine, as it is in most.)

Five USB-A ports, one USB-C port, two Ethernet connectors, a handful of 3.5 mm audio jacks, an optical audio port, and three DisplayPorts are available on the back.

3- Gaming performance:

If you can look past the fact that the Corsair One Pro i200 has an older GPU, you'll find that it still performs admirably in most games, especially at lower resolutions. At 1080p, Assassin's Creed Odyssey had a frame rate of 77 frames per second, while Grand Theft Auto V had a frame rate of 126, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider had a frame rate of 117. However, compare and contrast with the MSI MEG Trident X, which has the same GPU. Odyssey ran at 85 frames per second, GTAV at 134 frames per second, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 120 frames per second on the Trident X, which costs at least $1,000 less.

Similarly, at 4K resolutions, the One Pro i200 isn't nearly powerful enough for full 60 fps gameplay. Odyssey ran at 49 frames per second, GTAV at 44 frames per second, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 44 frames per second. The Trident X scored similarly, with 52 frames for Odyssey, 45 frames per second for GTAV, and 44 frames per second for Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

While it's not an exact comparison, we did play some of the same games on an Alienware Aurora R11 with a GeForce RTX 3090. It scored 152 frames per second on GTAV and 136 frames per second on Shadow of the Tomb Raider in 1080p, and 61 frames per second on GTAV and 59 frames per second on Shadow of the Tomb Raider in 4K. If gaming is your primary concern, you should probably swallow the bullet and purchase a system with a 30-series graphics card.

Even so, the news isn't all awful. Every game I tried ran flawlessly on a QHD panel from a technical standpoint. Because the RTX 2080 Ti supports ray tracing, even the lighting looked fantastic. (However, your frame rate will suffer.) You can't have it all.)

Overall performance:

The Corsair One Pro i200 bills itself as a system that can be used for both gaming and productivity. As a result, it's no surprise that it performed highly on our simulated benchmarks. The One Pro i200 scored 47,655 on the Geekbench 4.3 test (there are no units; it's just a broad indication of how much power a PC can bring to bear). That's much more than the Trident X's 40,378 and even more so than the Aurora R11's 41,822.

The One Pro i200, on the other hand, copied files somewhat slower than both dedicated gaming PCs. Corsair's machine replicated over 5 GB of data at a speed of 1,026 MBps, compared to Alienware's 1,243 MBps and MSI's 1,275 MBps. Given how much data content makers must transfer regularly, those few seconds can build up quickly over a year.

4- Software:

The Corsair One Pro i200 comes with only the Corsair Utility Engine (iCUE) and a slightly irritating Corsair Diagnostics tool as supplementary software. The LED lights on the front panel, as well as the fan speed, are all controlled by iCUE. You can also keep an eye on the temperatures of the components and their general performance. It's the same application that Corsair uses for their peripherals, and it works perfectly.

On the other hand, the Diagnostics program is a bit of a mixed bag. It's convenient to have everything in one place, from your computer's model to your BIOS version. The application, on the other hand, nags you about backups, security programs, and upgrades, as if it wants you to undertake PC maintenance on its time, not yours. It also claims to run a disk defragmenter automatically, which I hope is not the case. Disk defragmentation is ineffective for SSDs and may even shorten their lifespan.

5- Verdict:

Simply said, when it comes to gaming, there are better, less expensive options than the Corsair One Pro i200. When it comes to pure productivity, there may be better, cheaper PCs than the Corsair One Pro i200. It's difficult to say whether another PC can mix the two so successfully, or in such a handsome chassis.

My immediate sense is that the One Pro i200 is overpriced for the level of performance it provides, especially considering its outdated GPU and limited upgradeability. However, if you use it for professional purposes and can write it off on your taxes or hire an office manager to purchase one for you, the cost may not be an issue. It will fit into practically any professional or gaming setup, regardless of size, and can operate even the most complex games and software quietly.

• OUR Verdict:

The Corsair One Pro i200 effectively bridges the gap between a high-end gaming computer and a high-end creative media computer.

6- Pros and Cons:

Pros:

• Elegant and compact design
• High
• end hardware
• Moves silently

Cons:

• Exorbitantly priced
• An antiquated GPU
• Upgrade choices are limited

Conclusion:

It makes sense to offer a chassis and know-how in both gaming and workstation classes, and that's exactly what Corsair One did with the Corsair One Pro i200, an award-winning small PC.

The Corsair One Pro i200 is well-suited for making the shift from gaming to a full-fledged workplace.

The Corsair One Pro i200 is without a doubt the most fashionable workstation.
