I'd turn it up to performance mode when doing my editing and then switch it back to silent mode when just doing lighter tasks. It's pretty cool to have that ability to switch on the fly as needed.

      @@Bronesofficalreally depends what you are using your pc for. Sometimes the game or application you use is either more gpu dependent or cpu dependent. Sometimes people want to have a gpu because that game is more gpu dependent. Gpus are made for handling and rendering graphics in games, thats why its called a Graphics. Processing. Unit.

    This information is far from accurate, bordering on misleading for consumers. Achieving a consistent 60 FPS in Diablo 4 is simply unattainable. Upon launching the game, a notification promptly alerts players that their graphics card is incompatible, even when drivers are updated to the latest version. Even with all settings dialed down to their lowest, gameplay remains unplayable, especially within dungeon scenarios. The game exhibits severe skipping, with frame rates plummeting well below the 30 FPS threshold, resulting in a sluggish and disjointed experience. It is evident that the potential for misinformation exists, either through possible compensation from the company for reviews or a drive for increased viewership. I can affirm this firsthand as the mini PC in question, which you assert can deliver 60 FPS performance in AAA title Diablo 4, is situated right beside me.

    • @retrotechdad
      @retrotechdad  10 місяців тому +18

      The information presented in this video is fully accurate and I spend a tremendous amount of time testing, taking notes, compiling data, and recording footage.
      Diablo 4 has no issues running at 60fps given that it has plenty of scaling options to achieve those results. The Ace Magician is set to the Performance mode dial, which is clearly seen in the video. In addition, all of my settings are listed on-screen. I would definitely check that AMD FSR 2 is enabled and set to performance which is very useful for these APUs.
      I have absolutely nothing to gain from presenting false information and do not take accusations like the ones you've claimed lightly at all. These videos are made with a lot of care and are not simply put together quickly for monetary gain or a "drive for increased viewership."
