You've Never Seen A Ryzen 6000 Based Mini PC with This Much Power! HX99G Hands On

These mini PCs are getting much stronger and extremely well performing for the price, you love to see it

[@MarcusArmstrong037]

I would love to see a dedicated video seeing how far we can go with emulation on this little machine. Ever since your video of the last one, I've been eagerly waiting for the Ryzen 6000 version to come out. And with DDR5 memory! So many of these small form factor PCs have still been using DDR4, so it's nice to see. This is going to be the PC that replaces my dying desktop.

[@jonnir4149]

These mini pcs are amazing! If this mini pc can emulate 4K Ps3 games without problems, that, it would be fantastic! I look forward for a new emulation video ! 👍 I was looking for a new laptop, but these new kind of portable pcs are the New Age 🔥

[@Thomas_Henry_]

Would love to see if it can handle 4k switch or xbox 360 with 30-60 fps

[@lunlunlunlun-ky4tu]

Yh my 3950x....

[@elijnr]

Does the PC come with an integrated card or dedicated ? I see he mentioned the one he used has a dedicated card. So I’m confused on which one to buy

[@GiacomBono]

of corz you can push 4k emulation with this mini pc paired with the 6600M.....

[@M4rio21]

This is what the Intel NUC used to be. Fantastic little device.

[@kurtisrinker1202]

I'd have to agree. Even though I have the phantom canyon nuc with the rtx 2060 mobile gpu, and I'm happy with the gaming/gpu performance, intel for some reason kept the cpu neutered at a 4c/8t variety, which the HX99 soundly stomps. I haven't seen any successor nuc models in the same form factor coming out in the future they're all now basically normal ATX PC size, which seems pointless imo.

[@PeteSiebenand]

Intel made a new nuc after phantom canyon/2060 - but it’s got an intel gpu which just is a pita. (I have a phantom canyon but looking for upgrade) this looks like what intel should have done.

[@oopsgaming7111]

Imagine what a 6850M can do in this combo. This is what I was looking for, for years, laptop components without the screen or keyboard etc, but I just bit the bullet last year and got a gaming laptop. Looking forward for these powerful mini pc to pick up in future.

I’m looking to buy this PC by the weekend on aliexpress and I saw “DEDICATED CARD” on the photo description. I don’t know much about PCs it’s my first. So I wanted to ask if there’s any different between that or what it means. Will it get hotter or cooler? I’m so confused

[@anotherks7297]

@@elijnr can't answer any questions other than that it means that the graphics card is separate from the CPU which, in most cases, means better performance and more heat/power draw.

[@PacketWrangler]

I was literally just looking at this on their website thinking about grabbing it and wondered, "Has ETA made a video yet?" Sir, you never disappoint.

Mini powerhouse! Better cooling than a laptop, and more compact than OEM tower PC. Been waiting for this model. Good review. 👍

[@Daleylife]

My friend got a mini and I said "What's that?" This is just mind blowing! I got a PC custom built 9 years ago and it's served me well (only changed the GPU in 2018) but it's wild how these exist plus how good some laptops are.

This little PC does much better at 1440p than my PC with a 1060 does... This hurts

Great Video as normal, I was wondering what would this thing do with your new DDR5 Fast memory running at 6000Mhz and how that would affect the benchmarks.

[@TimPiatek]

Dang. In synthetics, it matches or beats my hi-midrange PC from 5 years ago. Very impressive.

[@DinoAlibasic]

Damn thats impressive, I mean... Gaming at 4k with such a little pc, which is pulling just 170 watts its amazing... AMD shows it true potential with these systems... and not gonna lie, im tempted to get one of these

[@ITGuyinaction]

🤪💪😀 Amazing! I like the design and technical specification! You can play here everything! From the oldest 8-bit games to the newest games with great graphics and music! Only the cost...

[@fredbecker607]

[@RealziesCuts]

This is insane 💥 got to get one of these! Thank you 145 days No Alcohol 🏆🥇🎮

[@bobbybusche2716]

Congratulations!! 🥳🥳

[@cashandraven2369]

We're getting to the point where for entry level gaming, these are going to become the standard I feel. Which is good, because these becoming more mainstream is good to get the cost down. A similar desktop is around 700 right now, so you are essentially paying for convenience. That is fine though, for someone who just needs a basic computer that can play games decently as well, this a great piece of tech going forward. I cant wait to see what 2d transistors allow in terms of performance and power usage.

[@ThomasHolbrookII]

I'm now in the possession of one of them and it seems to be running well. Have to update it of course and get some games on here but I have a good feeling thus far.

[@kristofpambid8959]

How is it now?

[@basilmgohar]

I definitely want to see the Linux test as that's my primary OS. Emulation test would be nice too. Basically, the more you can do with this high-end mini PC, the better! I will watch them all.

[@dorons2108]

Thanks for another great video. Looking at the spec on their website it says the HDMI and USB-C are limited to 60HZ even in 4k. If this is true, then this machine has a substantial caveat.

[@apolashimself]

May I ask if this supports Thunderbolt 4? Thank you 😊

[@TANWare]

I have the HX90G and since it uses AMD drivers and Crossfire at least for the Open GL 3D I would like to see the results with faster and/or overclocked RAM. My gb5 scores are 1563/9758, not sure what is up there unless you need in bios to get the fan curve up a bit, I have mine set to 70% instead of 20%.

[@Foiliagegaming]

I have a 12900k and 3080ti. I have not been playing many games that really been pushing the limits of it as I have only been playing SSBM on slippi. With the cost of power going up and my lack of needing a machine like I have now I might sell mine to purchase one of these. The older I get, the less I care about the newer games. Maybe if I ever get a better paying job and a house I will not care so much then. But for now with a limited amount of space, this just makes sense.

[@bjeardoe]

Love your content. Watching this on an HX90G with an external rx 6800xt over m.2 and just ordered an HX99G I'm going to pair with an rx 7900xt in a good enclosure.

[@MountKash1]

Hey there. Did you ever attempt to run an RX 7900xt on this HX99G over Oculink in the 2nd M.2 port ? If so, how did it work out for you ? Where you able to get some decent 4K gaming in ? Did the CPU cause any bottleneck ? Or just the M.2 port only ? Just wondering, Thanks

[@denvera1g1]

4:25 In the future there should be 64GB DDR5 SODIMM modules so as long as this device supports that much memory on the controller, you may be able to install up to 128GB of DDR5 SODIMM(or 256GB if it had 4 slots)

[@Silverjerk]

Definitely interested in an emulation video. Been looking for a mini-pc ever since the Steam Deck, and specifically SteamOS, made the idea of adding a small form factor PC for some light couch gaming much more viable. My current setup involves running 80 feet of overpriced fiber HDMI and USB cables from my office to my living room. It works well, and running on a 3080, but would be much less hassle with the PC actually living in the same space as my controllers and mouse and keyboard. Emulation is definitely the big requirement for me here though. EmuDeck now goes onto every device I can run SteamOS or Big Picture Mode on.

[@flintfrommother3gaming]

Isn't the normal 6600 also 100 Watts TDP

[@smtek]

@@flintfrommother3gaming its 130w, but in the end It represents about 100mhz clock boost wich is not much, and in 1080p online games most of the time It gets cpu bound

I.E - R7 6800H + RX 6650M XT, R9 6900HX + RX 6700M. Preferably, an R9 6980HX + RX 6850M XT - Then we`ll truly have a 4K 60-120Hz Gaming Mini PC. 😎
