Although Henry Cavill did not publicly reveal the detailed configuration of his newly purchased gaming PC, some tech users on Reddit were “sharp-eyed” enough to recognize the super-powerful components purchased by the main actor of “The Witcher” in the video posted by this actor.

Famous for his role as Geralt in The Witcher series or Superman in DC series, few people know that Henry Cavill is also an avid PC gamer.

Recently, taking advantage of his time off at home before returning to filming The Witcher season 2, Henry Cavill shared a video recording the scene of him assembling his brand new gaming PC. Immediately after posting, this video quickly created a storm on social networks such as Reddit, Twitter and Facebook.

Although Henry Cavill did not publicly reveal the detailed configuration of his brand new PC, some tech users on Reddit were ‘sharp-eyed’ enough to spot the super-powerful components purchased by the main actor of ‘The Witcher’ in the video posted by the actor.

Henry Cavill ordered each PC component individually and assembled it himself into a complete PC.

Accordingly, Henry Cavill used one of AMD’s most powerful CPU models today, the Ryzen 9 3900X, to install in his PC. With a selling price of about $389.99 on Amazon, the Ryzen 9 3900X is equipped with 12 cores/24 threads and a boost clock of up to 4.6 Ghz, enough to run the most CPU-intensive games. It is clear that Henry Cavill is a ‘hardcore fan’ of the Red Team, as he is willing to ignore Intel’s i9-9900K CPU, which is considered the CPU with the best gaming performance on the market today.

In addition, Henry Cavill also chose the highest-end motherboard today, the Asus ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Hero, priced at around $359, to install with the Ryzen 9 3900X. Of course, with PC models with such high configurations, using a high-quality water cooling system is almost mandatory. Therefore, the actor playing Superman chose the NZXT Kraken X72 AIO water cooling system to ‘cool’ the Ryzen 9 3900X, allowing this CPU model to run stably and continuously at high clock speeds.

Henry Cavill’s PC can play all the most graphically intensive PC games on the highest settings.

In terms of RAM capacity, some users have noticed that Henry Cavill equipped his machine with a 32GB Trident Z RGB RAM kit from G.Skill with a bus of 3866MHz and a price of 264 USD. Along with that, this actor also installed 2 1TB 970 Evo SSDs from Samsung, providing extremely fast game loading speed thanks to the use of the M.2-2280 NVME interface port.

Most notably, Henry Cavill chose the RTX 2080 Ti – the most powerful graphics card on the market today from Nvidia. With the power of the TX 2080 Ti, Henry Cavill can comfortably play blockbuster games on PC with the highest graphics settings. It is known that the RTX 2080 Ti version that Henry Cavill is “looking at” is the ASUS ROG GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which has a selling price of about 1279 USD. Finally, powering Henry Cavill’s PC is a high-end PSU from the Seasonic brand, with a capacity of 750W meeting Platinum standards.

Interestingly, Henry Cavill didn’t buy a large 4K gaming monitor. Instead, he opted for a 27-inch, 1440p, 165Hz monitor from Asus.

Detailed configuration of Henry Cavill’s alleged PC

All in all, Henry Cavill’s gaming PC would cost around $3948.91, according to calculations by a Reddit user who tried to build a PC with similar specs. This is obviously a lot of money for most gamers, but still quite a bit for a Hollywood A-lister like Henry Cavill, who is worth tens of millions of dollars.
