    In focus: Arena Royale Pro

    An insight into one of our most popular systems

    We always keep a very close eye on value for our systems, we don’t like spending money for little to no advantage, so why should you?  Fancy features and components can be nice to have, but few among us have unlimited funds to spend on PC’s.   So, when we’re designing computer systems, “bang for buck” is very important to us.  Right now, our best expression of this philosophy in our Arena Gaming range is probably our Royale Pro.

    The Royale Pro is a system where we have taken “bang for buck” to the limit: we have sucked out every penny we can from where it doesn’t make the computer run faster, yet put the money into the performance per pound champions with a core system that can run against the very best on the market.

    “We bought this PC for my son for Christmas 2023, he absolutely loves his Gaming PC, he’s always on it, using it for his Games, Discord and chatting to his friends around the world“

    The heart of the system is AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor: this CPU may come from the previous generation, but it still performs well in comparison to the latest mid-range alternatives, and still puts up a good fight against the best on the market.  Simulation games such as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 benefit from performance that is close to state-of-the-art processors, showing there’s plenty of life left in last year’s best gaming processor.

    Good processors may make a good basis for a high-performance machine, but the graphics card you partner it with is critical.  The majority of us are using 1080P resolution screens, so for the Royale Pro we look to achieve high performance at that resolution and currently the Nvidia RTX4060 is our value king at this resolution.  The card is capable of providing high framerates in popular games such as Fortnite (Epic, 120FPS), CS2 (200+FPS), or Hell Divers 2 (Ultra, 60+FPS) without breaking the bank.

    “Investing in the Gaming PC has brought a lot of joy, the team at Creative Computing designed the PC around the games“

    These choices allow us to build a computer that performs really well out of the box, but still leaves scope for upgrading when you feel the need for more speed.  We incorporate sufficient high-performance RAM, storage and network connections housed in a basic but well-ventilated case and with a power supply that still leaves scope to add more power at a later date.

    All of this comes without compromising on reliability of course, the computer is backed by our Two-Year Parts & Labour Warranty, and comes with both Ethernet and Wifi connections, a year’s subscription to Norton 360 For Gamers and pre-installed & optimised Windows 11.

    This is who we are…

    We’re extremely grateful and humbled that so many of you have trusted us with your custom for so long, but even some of our long-standing customers don’t realise just how long a journey it has been. We thought we’d take the time to tell a little of who we are and where we’ve come from.

    The beginning

    Our story started in 1997 in a corner of our store in Shawlands, Glasgow.  Creative Computing quickly gained a reputation for building computer systems from top-quality components at very competitive prices. With a thriving reputation built on knowledge, integrity and quality, the first few years saw rapid growth and expansion leading to the difficult question of whether to open several shops in different locations, or to expand the existing location. After many sleepless nights and discussions, we took the opportunities to expand the existing location and give a “Centre of Excellence” rather than dilute the company’s skill base by spreading the talent over many locations. In 1999 Creative Computing took over the old Job Club, which had occupied the upper floor, and then expanded sideway in 2003 acquiring the former takeaway premises and developing it into our new technical centre.

    The vision

    Since the beginning the company has focused on both quality and value, and this continues to set us apart from other retailers today.  Customer satisfaction is Creative Computing’s highest priority: it’s not enough to provide our customers with well-designed computer systems, components and accessories, but it needs to be done with a professional and friendly service backed by a fully qualified, experienced and knowledgeable technical support team.

    Validation

    multiple awards creative computing

    Working efficiently and in a structured manner, Creative has gained many awards and certification through the years, including “Investors in people” and “Scottish enterprise award” to name but a few, and the company played a prominent role at the first Glasgow computer gaming show “Resonate” held at the SECC in 2016.

    Creative has invested in training to keep ahead of emerging technologies; over the years we have developed a full repair system for almost every computer related item, including laptops, smartphones, tablets, desktop PC’s and printers.  Content creation and gaming systems have long been an in-house speciality and we continue to provide bespoke support in these areas, whether it’s upgrading, repairing or providing custom systems.  Creative understands that data is often more important to our customers than the computer itself so we have invested in hardware data recovery systems, giving us the ability to help our customers in the event of a device failure or accidental deletion.
