I don't usually comment on a sponsor spot, but good on HP for making more of their products user upgradeable/serviceable! I feel like Framwork has pushed some companies in this direction a little bit, but no matter the reason, it's good to see.
Was thinking the same i had a huge difference on a cheap build for family to play cs & fortnite (a ryzen 5 2400G with 2x8gb 3000mhz) it didn't make alot more fps but latency & frametime's were much better
It might have been the 1 stick of ram I thought in this video you were about to upgrade it and compared 1 stick vs 2 stick of ram and who knows it'd might have helped.
A lot of ryzen 9 7940 and 7840 mini PCs do really good in games but I think they are scared to review them because it might hurt their pc business. You can use the usb 4 (compatible with tb3) to run external video cards but the 780m gpus in them are nice. The GTR7 and GTR7 pro for instance.
I'd have added a second stick of 16GB RAM and then set 8GB for dedicated video RAM, that would have improved the experience. 16GB single channel and needing to be used for graphics as well as running the game is never going to be great. You would have had less lag with two 8GB sticks as you wouldn't have the CPU and GPU fighting over that single memory channel.
"Gaming PC" is not going to always be a PC that plays the 3 or so games you guys test. A pc like this could be used for great games like Black Mesa, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 3, Elder scrolls morrowind, Ashes 2063(free), Doom 1 and 2, Age of Empires 2 HD etc... Then throw launchbox on it and never look back. It is capable of playing better quality games than any millenial or previous generation had growing up.
you can adapt thunderbolt to connect to either the nvme pcie or the Mini PCie for the wifi. I'm 100% positive one of those will have an adapter cable and you could connect a gpu that way. just power the Gpu externally. and get drivers
Indeed it would have. But since they were reviewing the product as is, this is what we get. These mini PC's are decent for light gaming, but you do indeed need dual channel so the GPU and CPU don't have to fight over the bandwidth of one channel.
I think dual-channel RAM would have helped since there was contention for RAM access between CPU and GPU functions. I'm not saying it would be amazing, but it should definitely improve things. If this was a laptop, you likely would have opened it up and put a second stick in to show the difference - you should have here too.
That is a vastly different proposition that is capable of emulating just about any console game except those from the latest generation. It will even legitimately run the vast majority of PC games at 1080p. You'll have to go to 720p on Alan Wake 2 but that will probably be the only one. Starfield should run at a solid 30fps at 1080p on a 7840u. I think Hogwart's would as well. Could probably squeeze out 60fps in Cyberpunk with FSR.
@@Lurch-Bot r7 7840hs is better because of the higher clock speed and the tdp is pretty low because of the awesome energy efficiency on ryzen 7000 series
Yeah im surprised you didn't dual channel the ram to see if it is creating a bottleneck that single ram does cause. Also you didn't strip the heatsink to verify if the processor is the genuine product and not faked.
I loved the vid but i have 1 question, could i use the cpu,ram,ssd,wifi adapter (if included) , and some other parts and just get a pc case, motherboard,gpu, and a psu and build a pc?
find Beelink make miniPC better i have a nice beelink ser5 pro 5800H and its pretty nice device, though the vega 8 is not something to be amazed by,,,, though it can handle some games.
They have 8 bit output. So basically any streamed 4k video on Netflix or RU-vid stutters. They all suck. Tried 4 different ones before giving up. Maybe the Intel NUCs are better. But as an HTPC no bueno
I can't recommend this type of mini-PC at all for use and gaming because as time goes by, you'll start to feel sorry for yourself and want to save more and build a PC with parts that you chose. Now, if you really need it because you don't have any way to access the Internet comfortably and for your work, go ahead, but don't expect to play comfortably on it!
Please buy and review this motherboard from temu. Or has anyone else bought it and tested it??Maxsun B450M Motherboard Gaming Desktop M-ATX DDR4 USB3.2 PCIE 3.0 Placa Mae Supports CPU AMD AM4 Ryzen R3 R5 5600/4500/3600.
I think this would work best a entrainment PC older 4k TVs you can watch streaming services with vpn to get non US regions TV shows/sports upload your bo^ot legged 4k /2k movies and run old school PC and PS1-3 Xbox and Nintendo games with emulators . Or a good Grandma/pa basic PC to take in their RV that has a Starlink internet or as simple compact daily driver for web browsing, Facebook , movie streamer, emails but no gaming this could last for years.
Sometimes I don't get you guys. You should have known this wasn't the type of experience you should have had with a 5900HX. Plenty of other videos on RU-vid with people reviewing mini PC's with the same 5900HX getting double the performance you guys got. Who knows what goes on with a product from Temu but it general, this wasn't an accurate portrayal of what to expect from a mini PC with this chip and that is a disserve to your viewers, especially if someone is looking at picking one up.
l hope you will read this am from africa in kenya and we dont usually have this things in our stores please help me out.l would like to be the first streamer from my country soo l hope yu could help me.
