Experience powerful performance and top-notch build quality with Origin PC's 5000D AMD Advantage desktop line Despite occasional dips in performance, this impressive machine is well worth its price tag Enjoy gaming and work with ease while staying cool and quiet thanks to excellent noise and thermal control
In 2022, the high-end PC market saw intense competition with the release of the RTX 4090 and 4080 as well as AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX and XT. Origin PC has a history of creating powerful and reliable gaming PCs using the latest technology from both team green and team red. With AMD's increased competitiveness in the CPU and GPU space, the market for AMD PCs specifically has never been stronger. Recently, Game Rant had the opportunity to test Origin PC's AMD Advantage Desktop, which features a custom Corsair 5000D case. After testing, it's clear that Origin's high-end builds using AMD components are worth the investment for those who prioritize 4K gaming at high refresh rates and have the budget to spare. However, the 5000D AMD Advantage slightly underperforms compared to users with the same hardware.
Origin PC 5000D AMD Advantage: Specs and Build Quality
Our AMD Advantage prebuilt included the following specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core
Motherboard: Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero
Memory: 32GB Corsair Vengence DDR5 (2X16GB) 6,000MHz
GPU: Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
2TB Samsung SSD
PSU: Corsair RM1000x Series Plus Gold
Case: Custom Corsair 5000D Airflow
Origin distinguishes itself from other pre-built gaming PC manufacturers by utilizing non-OEM parts and sourcing components that are typically only found in custom-built PCs. This results in a premium, reliable, and easily replaceable computer that has ample room for upgrades and additions. The case, power supply, and motherboard have plenty of slots, expansion bays, and power to accommodate nearly any desired upgrade. The Asus ROG Crosshair motherboard, in particular, offers exceptional cooling and includes two extra PCIe slots for sound cards or capture cards.
In addition to the quality components, Origin also excels in the assembly of the PC. The cables have been expertly routed into the side panel, allowing for optimal airflow throughout the interior of the chassis. Everything has been secured in place without the use of adhesives, and the cable management around the back is aesthetically pleasing and practical for future tinkering. Origin even includes extra PCIe and SATA cables for users looking to expand their PC with a new GPU or SSDs.
Origin PC 5000D AMD Advantage: Performance and Gaming
The 3DMark's Time Spy Extreme benchmark provided a comprehensive assessment of the performance capabilities of the Origin PC. Despite scoring an impressive 24,686, it underperformed compared to the average score of 26,256 from users with the same hardware. While it is unclear what caused the 5000D to fall short, it is possible that the lower-clocked Radeon RX 7900 XTX may be responsible. Nevertheless, the Origin AMD Advantage still managed to secure a place in the 98th percentile of all PC users, which is a testament to its exceptional gaming prowess. In terms of gaming benchmarks, the Origin PC AMD Advantage was put through its paces with some of the most demanding PC games at both 1440p and 4K resolutions. While the Radeon RX 7900 XTX can easily handle 4K gaming, 1440p testing was deemed more appropriate due to the growing market of 1440p high refresh rate monitors. This makes the Origin AMD Advantage an ideal choice for gamers looking to fully maximize their gaming experience on these panels.
Our suite of benchmarks included some of the most demanding games available today, all running at their maximum settings. We tested Remedy's Control, Hogwarts Legacy in the challenging Hogsmeade area, The Witcher 3's DirectX 12 update in the bustling city of Novigrad, Red Dead Redemption 2 on the highest "Favor Quality" preset, Assassin's Creed Valhalla on Ultra High, and Cyberpunk 2077 on Ultra. We focused solely on rasterization performance and did not utilize AMD FSR during testing.
The Origin AMD Advantage proved to be a strong performer at 1440p, achieving over 120 frames per second in most games, with the exception of the most graphically and CPU-intensive sections of Hogwarts Legacy and The Witcher 3 DX12. However, it's worth noting that both games still regularly hit the 100 fps mark in other areas. On the other hand, games like Control and Assassin's Creed Valhalla reached their CPU limits at this resolution. Moving on to 4K, our tests showed that the 7900 XTX really excelled here, with every game in our benchmark suite surpassing 60 fps, except for The Witcher 3. Red Dead Redemption 2 and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla even surpassed 100 fps in some cases. With the addition of AMD FSR and the upcoming DLSS 3.0 competitor, these frame rates can reach the same levels as the 1440p benchmarks. Overall, the Origin 5000D is a great choice for 4K panel owners.
Origin PC 5000D AMD Advantage: Noise and Thermals
During testing, our Origin PC AMD Advantage demonstrated impressive performance, but not at the expense of power, heat, or noise. Equipped with a Corsair iCUE H150i Elite Capellix Liquid CPU Cooler, our Ryzen 9 7950X maintained a maximum temperature of 81 degrees Celsius and ran at a cooler 70 degrees or lower during less demanding tasks. The cooler also effectively minimized noise levels, ensuring a pleasant gaming experience. Additionally, the Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX remained cool under load, with a maximum temperature of 58 degrees Celsius and a full 350 watts pull. The six-fan intake system of the 5000D case provided ample fresh air to the GPU, contributing to its low temperature and quiet operation. Overall, the Origin PC AMD Advantage maintained impressive performance while remaining cool and quiet.
For those with the budget, the 5000D AMD Advantage by Origin PC is a top-of-the-line pre-built gaming PC that is worth the investment. While it may not be the most practical choice for most gamers, those who prioritize 4K or high refresh rate 1440p gaming will appreciate its capabilities. Opting for a 1080p panel with this machine would be a missed opportunity.
Although the 5000D AMD Advantage fell slightly short in synthetic benchmarks, this minor setback is overshadowed by its impressive gaming performance, efficient thermals, and low noise levels. Ultimately, the premium price tag is justified by the high-quality components and exceptional overall performance of this PC. Interested buyers can purchase the Origin PC 5000D AMD Advantage now, and rest assured that they are investing in a top-of-the-line gaming machine.
