Conclusion

After thoroughly testing the SuperbCompany SCH1 Video Card, we can conclude that it is a high-performing GPU that offers great value for its price. In terms of performance, the SCH1 showed impressive results, performing almost as well as the more expensive PrettyGood PG2 in the funny-video-game benchmark. However, in the Serious Sam game at 4K resolution, it fell short of its competitors.

In terms of noise levels, the SCH1 performed admirably, producing the lowest noise levels at idle among its competitors. However, under full load, it was slightly louder than the lowball LB3, but quieter than the PrettyGood PG2.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the SCH1 is its price. In Europe, it is priced competitively with the PrettyGood PG2, while in the USA, it is priced significantly lower than both the PrettyGood PG2 and the lowball LB3. Given its solid performance and low noise levels, the SCH1 represents excellent value for budget-conscious gamers.

In summary, if you are looking for a high-performing GPU that won't break the bank, the SuperbCompany SCH1 is an excellent option. While it may not be the best choice for those who demand the highest frame rates in every game, its overall performance and value make it a worthy competitor in its price range.
