It's a CHEAP Tiny PC Gaming Console! (Trigkey S Review)

You should do a video walking us (non-techies) on how to turn a mini-PC into a gaming pc... that would be awesome. Big fan. Love your content.

[@PotterPossum1989]

I second this. This is why I've subscribed 😂

[@chrisumali9841]

Thanks for the demo and info. You sir are hilarious! Have a great day

[@samcadwallader2899]

Be interesting to see some RPCS3 emulation on this little beastie.

[@PeteOliva]

I keep waiting for this video. Maybe I just need to buy it and check for myself!

[@hellojuggalos]

nice video, i've had a couple mini pc's and both of them died via overheating and all i ever did was use a game controller tester program for a shop i worked at. Seeing the cooling on this one makes me tentatively interested in this one.

[@BestEDMSongs]

You need to remember mini pc's do get dam hot it you push them or use them for awile, you can't use them for a long time pushing them, i know i have lost 2 of them myself

[@hellojuggalos]

fair but i didn't view a generic game controller tester program that was used maybe 10% of the time and idle 90% of the time as pushing it. I just think the ones i had were badly cooled and this one looks like it might have that problem solved. Maybe.

[@SMG.Trill.92]

Woot! Keep up the awesome content! Im not going to lie, I am looking for something to replace my laptop for PC gaming while im cooped up in my semi truck. I love seeing these SSF PC's.

[@mustachesally4134]

Not going to lie? 😅

[@adammackenzie]

Cool , another great review video ,thanks... Game on everyone !

[@welshcraig1813]

Just picked one of these up. I have a PS5 so will be using it mainly for productivity but it is cool to see how well it can play games. I will definitely be using it for indie games that come to PC first. I was tempted by the Ryzen 5560U version which was £46 cheaper but it looks like the 5800H is a well worth the extra money in the long run. Anyway, cool video, thanks.

[@TechDweeb]

Definitely!

[@Agumon5]

Hey Dweeb, up on closer inspection of your caricature I noticed that you have a yellow handheld device on your backpack. This handheld device seems to only have two face buttons, so my question is, in that caricature do you have a yellow game boy color ... Or is it some other retro device? It looks a little bit squared off so I'm thinking a game boy pocket? Also how come your arms are so freakishly long?

[@TechDweeb]

Yup. Gameboy pocket. And my arms are long because I have 20% monkey DNA

[@Curryking32000]

Looks great!! people are spoilt these days, I remember buying a Pentium 3 many years ago for I think it was £1000 with a Geforce GX2? graphics card and could only get about 5fps for Morrowind, upgraded the graphics card to a GX3 and got 12fps, was really impressed in the day. We were easily pleased in them days.

[@TechDweeb]

Ain't that the truth!

[@mariastevens6406]

You might find this interesting. I just found a Biostar H61 motherboard that supports DDR3 1600 and PCIe 3.0 (my H77 in my XP rig took a shit). It has two x1 slots too, so I can keep my X-Fi Titanium and I added a USB3 x1 card with dual front jumpers, so I have front USB3 and, while it's not the full 6gbps, I nearly get the full bandwidth in my sata3 ssd because I found a sata3 to 19-pin usb3 adapter. If it had a x4, or x8 via x16 slot, I'd have been able to get a 3.2 gen2 card and had full sata 3 bandwidth too. So tldr, usb3, pcie3 and ddr3 1600 on h61 lol it's kinda cool lol And yes, must be surrounded by stuffies

[@TechDweeb]

Nice setup!

[@mariastevens6406]

@@TechDweeb thanks lol I just ordered a b75 so I can have another spare to work with since I'm stockpiling parts for my rig. Might go ahead and order that 3.2 gen2 card too just so I don't accidentally rip the 3.0 jumper off again lol.

[@jeffreypeters5578]

I got 1 like this and I enjoy using chimera os it was designed for devices like this or smaller pcs hooked up to tvs

[@MisterDeets]

I ordered this unit with the 32gb RAM. I do a lot of CAD work and slicing for 3D printing and this little guy should absolutely smoke those tasks. My old 3630QM laptop is showing its age now and while it is still functional is a bit frustrating to use for that. Hooking this up to my 4K tv so I can use it as a streaming box and general entertainment platform as well.

Review Tech Rich ran an emulator "console" from Amazon/China and I think he had the upgrade to this... A Ryzon 9 instead of 7, and everything played on Ultra pretty much. But that mini pc costs like $475-$500

Hi there! Very, very nice and thought review. I gave you my sub for that. One question:I am thinking of buying it for only 1 reason. Emulating ps2, gamecube and original Xbox games. Only these e consoles. BUT in 1080p. Nothing less. Do you think this would be possible or thos mini pc would have troubles doing that? Pls give me your answer

[@protz1671]

Do you know if this or any other mini pc would work with oculus link for quest 2?

I couldn't find any benchmarks for the 5800u that we have in here, but here are some gameplay clips using the 5700u (the 5800u is better than the 5700u by about 5%). Looks like you'll be fine as long as you adjust the settings. Probably expect to play at low/medium settings if you're gaming at 1080p. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5emg6yPq6-gj9E

[@raedkhmous1292]

Trigkey vs GMKTEC G2 ?

[@jinty83]

It's amazing how much performance these mini pcs have now with a very low power draw. You should add an eGPU to this and see how much performance you get. I suppose that defeats the purpose of the small form factor but would be okay at home. The gpd g1 looks amazing but aliexpress also have the ADT-Link M.2 dock. Maybe gpd will send you one to try 😁

[@jamesabestos2800]

I’m very mixed on e-gpus due to computers not having enough lanes or being fast enough, even the steam deck, the last time I recalled watching a Linus video, it had x4 lanes(though that might be a new steam deck).

[@jinty83]

@@jamesabestos2800 It is quite impractical I admit, but even 4 lanes over nvme is much better than the built in apu. The gpd g1 has even better performance over usb c and the other connection (I can't remember what it's called) is even faster. It looks nicer too lol

[@GianlucaBruno99]

how can it be put if it doesn't have a free nmve slot?

[@jinty83]

@@GianlucaBruno99 you can use the sata connection to run the os from a 2.5” ssd so the nvme slot is free to connect the egpu.

[@Bruhngus420]

does this particular pc even have thunderbolt 3 or 4?

[@whiskeygamer9402]

Is it as powerful as the king?

[@youzernejm]

So, it's nice device for a camping trip as well? Or, judging by the background, you returned home? Or, or, or you brought basement of solitude with you? No, that one is probably silly. I've never bothered with custom resolutions and forcing screen to work at 40Hz. If it actually works well, math says it's a great sweet spot (40fps is 33% more than 30, but 25ms is right between 33 and 16). Maybe it's worth testing on these mini pcs?

[@SNKev411]

That’s right, no one can tell techdweeb what to do 🤙

[@craigrussell3062]

Except Nintendo, whose recent litigiousness would make any KZbinr worry about mentioning emulation on a $300 mini PC that could probably handle the Switch

[@HarryXD-du8zq]

I’m torn between this and the trigkey Intel i5, I’m not very up on tech, buying for my daughter and trying to understand which model is better. The i5 is cheaper so I'm thinking the Ryzen 7 may be better?

[@ThePeacePlant]

Yes Ryzen 7 is better in your case

[@baroncalamityplus]

While neat, the internal graphics are getting quite old. Its still the Radeon RX Vega 8 (just renamed with a core boost). Its going to be interesting to see these things with the RDNA 3 iGPUs

[@TechDweeb]

True. I don't think it's great graphical horsepower, but for the price I think it's actually pretty solid performance.

[@aaronmurgatroyd5810]

Could you attach an external eGPU card to this device?

[@TechDweeb]

I'm not 100% positive, but as far as I understand you cannot use an eGPU over USBc unless it's thunderbolt 3, because USBc doesn't have access to the pcie lanes. If you wanted to use an eGPU with this sort of machine you would need to use the m.2 slot, so it's technically possible but it would be pretty janky.
