TINY Intel PC Comes With RTX Muscle 

Is he related to Linus?

You know he gets a lot of this stuff for free and as such probably doesn't overly care if he breaks it.

I have faith 😂 if I can do it, Dawid certainly can

As long as there are no ribbon cables, David is probably fine....maybe....

I suspect the video is usually out of order with the test portion filmed prior to the teardown just in case.

It has to be either Dawid or Craft Computing

I typically skip all sponsor-based ads because they're dull - but not Dawid's - they're their own event.

Yeah. When other RU-vidrs say just linode… it sounds so weak and underwhelming.

I think there’s an alternate universe where Dawid is the Linode CEO

linooode

Yeah but price wise the higher ones don't justify their price.

The are very good, but the price is what's makes them not popular

They're shit value.

@@bootchoo96 yes, being able to build a 3080 system with a i7/ryzen7 for the same cost kinda killed it for many lol

I grabbed a 4th gen one a few years back and mounted it on a cheap LCD panel in my garage to run Ubuntu and Spotify while out there working on projects / whatever and the thing has been a champ.

do you have some RTX inside you?

Dlss and fsr doesn't help cpu bottlenecks, if anything it adds more burden to the cpu, hence worse fps

He was in a different area in the game tho so maybe that's why

@@Deus-X That does play a role, but yeah, not even DLSS can over come a weak CPU.

@@DawidDoesTechStuff i guess some people cant read/understand afterburner

"This is the way."

Intel mobile cpus don't allow any of that, only k skew desktop cpus do when it comes to intel

@@dilutedoxygenit depends on the CPU. I have a 1235U laptop which allows some control.

@@dilutedoxygen Throttlestop is different to general overlocking tbh, Throttlestop allowed me to undervolt my i7-8750H and force consistent 3.4GHz clocks when running benchmarks and such, compared to the stock 2 cores at 4.2 or whatever 2 cores at 4.0 or whatever and another 2 cores at 3.8 or whatever. Yes you can't "overclock" these laptop chips but I know that undervolting can help with reducing temperatures, changing turbo freuqency times like you can in XTU and performing undervolts to get a stable clock speed and better performance. I don't have that i7-8750H anymore as the GPU fried to death so haven't used it for a couple of months. Maybe I'm wrong and hey that's ok. Btw you are correct that overclocking is usually only limited to desktop K CPU's like my i7-9700K but I think the original commentor was trying to get across a different point?

Why not? It is essentially a mid-tier gaming laptop from 2 years ago without the screen and keyboard. Otherwise, with this thing being from Intel, I find it ironic it comes with Nvidia and not some variant of the Arc

i have the same cpu on my laptop. In this it has a beefy cooler and now imagine it on a super thin laptop...

@@djnjoy This is the last generation one (which is the most boring of the dGPU ones), the current one is the ARC model. The interesting one is the first one, which had _AMD Vega graphics built into/alongside the CPU._

That’s what she said

And it can perform much better if the TDP is increased ("Power" tab in the bios). He completely missed that.

i was wondering why he didnt test that lol

It would absolutely help the CPU bottleneck, but only if the 2060 could actually play games at 1440p over 60fps. I guess DLSS could help balance things out, but I think I'd just rather look for a version of the Nuc with a 12th gen and a 3060ti inside or something.

That's what she said

@@jagadishk4513 There is no evidence for those words ever having been spoken, thus it is as well they had not. That's what his lawyer confirmed.

The TDP can be upped using the "power" tab in the Bios. Crazy he missed that.

That's just windows 11 version of instant apps. They each take up 8Kb and aren't really installed until you try to open them. I tried to do a clean install without any of that stuff by using the "N" package install. It ended up taking me a lot more time to and was much more of a headache to install all the missing directX and other drivers than simply removing those shortcuts from the start menu.

@@mitch7525 ya tried tiny11? (A custom, completely unbloated version of windows)

@@STORMFIRE07 Tiny 11 seriously lacks security-wise and is not recommended for someone using it as a main OS.

@@Weaselszone interesting, didn’t knew that, thanks for info

The smaller the power brick the more heat and stress on the components. While a larger size power brick does not necessarily translate to it being more reliable, I'd be more inclined to expect it to last longer and/or not try to burn me if I needed to move it shortly after heavy use.

@@benjaminmiddaugh2729 the 140 watt one i have is from apple. Their macbook pro chargers come with very small bricks for the power they provide. They dont get crazy hot either. Not more then id expect at least. And there is ones from anker for example that are even smaller. They are all good quality. Ofc though be more sceptical if its a sketchy brand.

@@xanderwusky3001 I didn't say that smaller power bricks couldn't be relatively cool to the touch or high quality. But making them that way usually requires much more expensive components and more clever design, neither of which are cheap. And I suspect that the NUC market is significantly smaller than that served by Macbooks or third-party power brick suppliers, so the justification for making the power brick more expensive is correspondingly smaller.

Yhea, I'm pretty sure this one had a mobile rtx 2060.

I still use RX470 and it plays Cyberpank well (anyway I have no other options)

I’m using a 1070 and still runs everything

The video clearly shows the cpu is the problem. 4 cores just doesn't cut it anymore.

You're right, that's really the only difference between the phantom canyon and the hades canyon. Having owned both, however, I can confirm the phantom canyon is significantly more quiet at full load then the hades canyon model.

@@kurtisrinker1202 Thank you both for your comments. I didn't know that the phantom canyon looks exactly the same as the hades canyon. It's good to know that the phantom canyon is quieter as weighs heavily on my calculus when buying those things. Do you guys think that this can be easily transported? I am looking for a lightweight yet powerful pc to use when going on longer trips and those nucs seem to fit the bill.

the higher end NUC's are a bit bigger , still smaller than a tower PC.

I think a Steam Deck would outperform those at this point.

@@MarginalSC maybe would still be cool to see

@Kaneeso Yeah. Most were just pretty average new tho. So I don't expect much.

@@MarginalSC yeah i had the gtx 960 variant i rememebr it being great for minecraft and csgo which was pretty much all i played at the time

power bricks are super behind on tech. they need to move to GaN for everyones benefit, smaller and more efficient
