  • This bad boy right here, the acemagician AM06, is a powerful tiny little gaming PC. Look how freaking tiny this thing is! And this thing can ACTUALLY play games, believe it or not. Good games!. And it can do emulation too! And it’s also a PC, so it does PC stuff. And the best part is that it’s cheap as heck. HECK I TELL YOU!

    Really impressed it is not full of bloatware!! That and the fact that it is not noisy are two very important factors for me. Very silly question: in terms of gaming how different do you think this APU is compared to the 5600H? The 5600H draws more power so it may be better for gaming/emulation. Your humor btw is just AWESOME 😎😎😎

    • @TechDweeb
      @TechDweeb  Рік тому +6

      Not sure tbh. I haven't had a chance to try the 5600H yet. Probably not as powerful as that, like you said because of the power draw, so if raw performance is what you want then it's not going to do as well, but I think the 5650u will be more efficient, and I doubt they're THAT far apart for performance anyways.

    I always wonder with these little boxes if an eGPU would make it a true gaming beast... I think that separated gaming PC components would be an interesting aesthetic, if somewhat limited by communication bandwidth or whatnot...
    I came from the Apple ecosystem in days gone - and I still restore old ones - and some really nice monitors got ignored because the PC inside had an easily dated GPU component you couldn't change. I mean, a 5k monitor with a 395x? Yeah, it was a good card - but gaming with it at 5k in 2015 would still have been, um, rough... I digress, fellow dweebs.
    Personally, I'd love to see more cRPGs on these little boxes in benchmarks (but I realize it isn't what most folks care about in fps scores). The CPU is often as important as the GPU with all the math stuffs, and I've seen quite a bit of bottleneck on (admittedly older) CPU/Graphic Card combinations - Owlcat's Pathfinder is actually kinda mean, PoE can be surprising.
    Anywho, thanks for another video!

    I got the same specs on my laptop. It's alright for a midrange laptop it beats my 7 year laptop. Although the gpu is on the lower end. So it's a midrange lower end budget system. Eta prime got to run botw but he push the performance to the max. Me I'm not too fond of pushing it. So I usually use my old 7 year laptop for running batocera.

I just got my MINISFORUM Venus Series UM773 Lite Mini PC with the latest AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor, 8 Cores/16 Threads, base clock of 3.2 GHz, Up to 4.75GHz. Installed with dual channel DDR5 32GB(2x16GB) RAM, M.2 2280 1TB PCIe4.0 SSD, and Widows 11 Pro. I also put a SAMSUNG 870 EVO 2TB 2.5 Inch SATA III SSD in it. It also has 2 x HDMI (4K@60Hz)ports, 1 x USB4 Type-C(4K@80Hz)Port, 1 x USB 3.2 Type-C( data only, In Right) and 4 x USB 3.2 Type-A, 1 x RJ45 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, 1 x DMIC port, WiFi6, and Bluetooth 5.2. This thing is a little productivity and connectivity monster. I've only had it for 5 days and I'm already loving the little beast.

    It's a PC you can use for gaming, sure, but I really wouldn't call it a "gaming PC" when its onboard GPU is so much weaker than my very aged 1050 ti.
