1 or 2 more generations and these things will be real options for gaming rigs. Im not sure how they will hold up to 14 consecutive hours of children screaming in my ear on Fortnite but if they can gey the heat managed properly, these little square plastic boxes have the potential to be real contenders very soon.

I'm thinking of getting a PS5 but given how expensive the games are, I'm considering those mini PCs also because there are still many games on Steam that are, although not the latest, also way cheaper. 🤔

I'm getting the k8 plus mini PC (the one used here but with oculink)...considering Sony recently announcing that they are bringing their games to PC within a year I'd say that getting a mini PC is the way to go since it would end up being cheaper than buying a console and online play is free...I hardly touch my series x these days because of it.

@TeamPandory I've heard the maximum VRAM that can be assigned to the graphics is 4gb. I've tried to increase it on my system and set it to 6gb and got a BSOD the day after. On the other hand do we really have to assign RAM to the graphics. Doesn't it take the needed RAM automatically?
@TeamPandory8 ай бұрын
Depends on the bios. On this gmktec k8 we can set it to AUTO, 2gb,3gb,4gb,6gb or 8gb. I think 🤔. Sorry it's been a week 😂
@Al_Barrel8 ай бұрын
My bios let's me set it to 16gb. Buty system crashed the day after. So I thought it could be because of it. But setting it to auto would do the same job, doesn't it?
@TeamPandory8 ай бұрын
@@Al_Barrel I think it depends. If you set it to 16gb, that would tell software you have 16gb of GPU memory to play with, whereas if it's on auto it may tell software it has next to nothing, giving other problems. Of course it isn't set to nothing, it would increase / decrease depending on the usage. Auto would be best for most, especially if you want your computer to have a lot of memory in windows (productivity etc), but for a middle ground / gaming setup, maybe 3-4 would be the sweet spot.

@TeamPandory Good to know. Did you notice some issues with Bluetooth yet? I noticed some problems using controllers connected via Bluetooth. Every once in a while movement stutters/lags or is inaccurate and if I move to far away from it, (maybe 4-5 meters) it loses connection completely.
@GeeksAndGamingNetwork2 ай бұрын
Unless you have 32gb of ram to play with I would not set it to 16gb...I just got 32gb in my ser4 mini PC up from 16gb and I set the vram to 8gb, 8gb is plenty for most games.

@TeamPandory Did you run this with the latest BIOS and did you turn off the IPU? I know you mentioned in the comments of an earlier video of yours that it improved performance. Thanks. I bought this MiniPC based on your reviews and these gameplay benchmarks.

My bad. I looked at the video again. You did use the latest BIOS and turned off the IPU. Helps when I pay attention. 🙂
@TeamPandory8 ай бұрын
Yes, latest BIOS, and turned off the IPU like before. IPU uses more power, raising temps and gives us less headroom. As this doesn't benefit us in gaming, turning this off helps. It also delays Skynet and Judgement Day. 🎃

This is impressive!! But it seems that the only real difference between the 7840HS and the 8845HS is that the latter has an NPU. So could I just get a mini pc with the 7840HS and get similar gaming performance?

They both have an NPU. Just the 8845HS has more ai cores. Yes. Gaming performance is similar, but this may change if games start using ai. Out of these two, personally I'd go for the cheapest :-)

It really depends. The mid-higher end mini pcs on Intel's side tend to get hotter under load, but again- it depends on the cooling system used, what the TDP is set at, and also the speeds.
