Can a Mini PC Game At 1440P? | Minisforum UM780 XTX 1440P Gaming Test 

If you really think 1080p looks good on 75 inches you're either nowhere near the "graphics snob" you think you are or sit so far away that you might aswell just play with binoculars. You'd be surprised how bad 1080p can look on a 4k display despite being a perfect pixel match for integer scaling. Many scalers just don't have this functionality and always use bilinear so make sure to turn on gpu scaling which should help with this issue. Pixel aperture ratio can also make 4 pixels displaying the same colour look worse than a single one. Otherwise I do actually find the idea of a mini pc neat. Current ATX desktops are incredibly inefficient at idle/low and sometimes even medium loads and I really hope that in the future we'll see more radical designs with high end hardware to improve low power efficiency. Until then however a mini pc with laptop like idle power draw and high efficiency at these low loads looks like a nice to have for when you play older games, just watch videos or office and school work. You get the big screen experience of a desktop with the power draw of a laptop, not to say none of the drawbacks that come with laptops like the battery becoming useless within a year if you use it in this stationary kind of way and you can still switch to your high end desktop easily if you hook everything up to a KVM.

@gamehey There he is. Lol There's always that guy. We found him folks. 🤣

at the price point it's was during the christmas sale, the UM773 Lite was a fantastic buy. The UM690S is looking like a great deal right now direct from minisforum.

I got my 780 for 439.00, and my 690S for 351.00 direct from Minisforum@@EVOTech1

I guess you can laser cut a black metal leaf or a black paper, that's what I would do

I just seen a video where they just print the image in black and white and looks okay, that would work too

First day?😂

I wanna wait till there are some Oculink enclosures that aren't super janky like the current ones that are just the riser and need a separate power supply. I wanna test something that is actually a viable option for people to use.

I might be able to borrow a unit to test it out

@@EVOTech1 worst case, gimme a couple of weeks 😃you enabler, you! I have a Q2, just no mini...

I have used my quest 3 with the 680m igpu. It isn’t good enough. 1440p is basically half of what you need. Half life alyx was 100% gpu with the resolution turned down to minimum at 60hz it would also stutter because of heating. These minipc are incredible but only good for old games. There is the eGPU route but I don’t recommend that because it’s bulky and expensive. You may aswell just get a regular PC

@@tysonristau4995that’s too bad to hear. I want one of these for my Arcade cabinet, and also I had hoped to do a little pcvr to my Quest 3.

@@tysonristau4995hadn't made it back to post about it yet, but kicked off the Space Engineers VR preview using the Quest 2 (have no other PC VR games currently) was running at around 10-15 FPS on a UM690S with the 680m, 48GB DDR5 4800 and running at 85 watt to maximize performance. I have not yet given it a go on the UM790Pro with the 780m yet. There's also a learning curve since the Q2 kind of takes over the display, making doing most things a bit tetchy...

If you don’t care about politics what does it matter? Seems odd to get such a reaction over something that you don’t care about.

@@EVOTech1 It seems self explanatory to me, the problem is that it (politics) runs and ruins everything piece of content consumed, even if attached to it superficially like your video does. Reddit and Hassan, just like Twitter and Ben Shapiro, all go hand in hand, some of us are just quite literally just fed up with it. I could care less about your views, bias, etc, all I am interested in is tech.

that really just sounds like a you problem. To any person who actually doesn't give a shit, they just see a random ass video playing on there. You choose to get upset over it and take way more meaning in it than anyone really should. I think it's better if you learn to ignore things you don't like instead of angrily shaking your fist at the sky.

@@EVOTech1 When these `political` patterns emerge in random videos, then I do take some issue with it, after all your video is being pitched to me via the great youtube algorithm because I like to watch _tech related videos._ If I don't say anything nothing will get done, so I make a point to at least _say something._ Then again, you are but one among many creators who either willingly show some sort same of suggestive political bias (intentional or not) or just outright do so. Personally I don't like it, but you take it as you will, I still say your content would do better by not showing political alignments of any sort. Good luck to you!

@@seditiouswalrus You literally have a public playlist on your channel called 'Politics' with videos from Fox News and Tucker Carlson. I don't think you hate politics, I think you just hate any politics that disagrees with you lol.
