In this era of ever-increasing graphical fidelity and system requirements, it sometimes helps to remember that this is not all that gaming is. Some of the greatest games of all time were released at a time when computer hardware was far weaker than it is today, and some of the greatest games of modern times were made by independent developers who can't afford to limit their games' appeal for the sake of fancy graphics.
Not only do these games not need you to invest a thousand dollars in an RTX-whatever, they can run on integrated graphics. In fact, they can run on the integrated graphics of a 12w CPU, in one of the smallest mini PCs in the world - the GMKtec NucBox G5

Oh a tip for bioshock. Turn off mouse acceleration from windows. It doesn't give you an option for raw mouse input, so turning off "enhance pointer precision" will help the game feel much better. Edit: This applies to a lot of older shooters as well. Particularly console ports. It's good to just keep it off.

You know I'm your overly biased AMD fan so it pains me to give Intel chips props lol ... but I do like seeing mini PCs and how far they've come. With the right expectations this tiny and cheap computing solution is really awesome if you ask me. With as much as I've gotten out of my Steam Deck lately I think there's a real chance I don't build big ole desktops anymore once my current rig is too slow (very long time lol).. I'll just get whatever decent spec mini PC and a handheld (probably some kinda Steam Deck 3) and call it a day.

It's absolutely mind-blowing, as someone who lived through the release of these games, that something as small as this nuc will play them at all. I would have killed for a system that would play halo when it first came out for pc (I didn't have the xbox). The me from 2003 would have never believed that something that would fit in the palm of my hand would be powerful enough to play the game. Especially that intel would have mobile integrated graphics that would push such a heavy load!

@BReal-10EC 2 месяца назад

The thermals are a concern imo- you want a tiny PC because you want to stick it someplace cramped. But that would kill this thing if unlocked to 15 watts. That's more an issue with the case/fan design though... the CPU and GPU are quite good for such low power units (from Intel). The CPU is on par with a 65 watt i5-7500, and the the GPU is about twice as powerful a GT 730 (more like a GTX 650)- assuming the PC can run at 15 watts. Kind of weird that Intel now has the cheap CPU with iGPU market with these new chips. AMD's lowest Ryzen is the Ryzen 3 7320U (iirc- all the A, E, and Athlons are gone from mobile), which is about double the CPU power but 2/3rds the iGPU power. Probably a much better laptop CPU... but AMD used to have much better iGPUs on the lower end. I guess since their more expensive CPUs are so good now (public image takes a while- and it's finally really good).. they don't have to scratch the lower end for sales.

@hblanksjukebox 2 месяца назад

N97 targets 12W, N100 targets 6W. The clocks are adjusted downward for the N100 accordingly (mostly GPU-side) but they're otherwise the same.

@BReal-10EC 2 месяца назад

It's really too bad that old PC games are not typically set up for controllers. This tiny PC + an xbox controller + hdmi cable would be a great cheap gaming system in your luggage for hotel rooms. But even then one of the slightly bigger variants may make more sense for thermals. A Ryzen 7 5800U would smoke this system at maybe double the wattage and be able to play some modern online games (like Fortnite and XDefiant)... but those mini PCs tend to cost more. This thing for 160 bucks is a crazy good value. How are they able to sell this thing with ram, ssd, and Windows 11 Pro for 160 bucks?

@BReal-10EC 2 месяца назад

Why is Intel spending money on this super low end of the market? Trying to kill off the ARM based small cheap computers (which has really helped the support for ARM OS and compatibility work)? Because X86 is still WAY easier to deal with than ARM. Stuff just works. And at such low power usage... wow. This is not much more than some of the more powerful Pi versions. Pi 5? Hmm.. Intel scared or ARM? They probably should be since Apple M1. Crazy to think Intel has been making CPUs to meet the same instruction sets for like 45 years now. It's probably time to drop all that old support to trim down the CPUs and power use.

@ABaumstumpf 2 месяца назад

intel has been producing good low-power devices for the past ~20 odd years. Got nothing to do with ARM - it is just another market sector where they just think that it is worth investing.

@BReal-10EC 2 месяца назад

@@ABaumstumpf Low power Intel CPU used to mean garbage. There is a reason they killed off the Atom name. EDIT- but I guess that have been making much better low power CPUs for several years now. I guess almost all of these tiny PCs and handheld gaming devices were AMD just because AMD's were still better, which is why I had not been keeping up on Intel's stuff.

this is too slow, would make a good media pc or office box; but it's too low spec imho. I am excited and hope that Intel ARC succeeds to become a real player with time; but when it comes to basic iGPUs, integrated or otherwise... they are still really bad compared to AMD alternatives. This thing would be at least 30% faster at the same TDP with zen and RDNA cores.
