What about a 4K resolution ? 1080p is essentially testing the CPU. It would also be intersting to test the RTX 4090 to see how it handles the extreme bandwidth.
Granted you didn't test at 1440 P or 4K (not that I'm concerned personally with 4K), the more I look into this stuff, the more it becomes a game of diminishing returns. Because if you're a meat and potatoes type of guy, the thunderbolt solution just gets the job done. The beelink is definitely starting to look like the best option when towing the line of performance, and cost efficiency. And it's really making me start to ask the question, is 16 lanes of pcie truly necessary based on your numbers shown....🤔. Good vid either way.
it's a real premium, as the Gti14 is $900, whereas most of their minipcs are in the $300s. the primary appeal should be the expansion port and dock, otherwise why pay the premium. In all you'll be spending another $600-900 for a dedicated GPU card as well. So in all it'll be close to $2000. Such a setup is very niche and should appeal to a segment of the market looking for the best of both worlds, that is to say, nuc-level portability in a very fulll featured desktop with the latest selection of I/O interfaces (Wifi 7, BT5.4, SSD expansion slot, etc), whilst having high-end GPU capabilities for a full-fledged gaming rig setup. I think it will appeal to a large number of folks looking to upgrade. Personally I think it's awesome and ordered a GTi14 Ultra 9 w/dock. I will be pairing it with a 4070 or 4080, when the time comes.
you didn't include information about fitting the GPU. the docking station can power up to 600 watts but what about the pins available - only two 8-pin connectors? sadly, this is not a full review
When doing GPU benchmarking at this level, you really shouldn't be testing with 1080p. Minimum 1440p, 4k prefered to put as much pressure on the GPU/Throughput as possible.
The reason I chose 1080p was because the beelink mini PC uses a mobile CPU and wanted to see how it compared to a full blown desktop CPU. I also figured most people using a mini-pc instead of a full blown desktop might be more budget conscious. But yes some 4K results would have been useful as well to stress the GPU side more also.
I just wished if it has AMD, then I’ll buy it. Maybe it’s just I wish mini PC should equip with this type of processor but with AMD because I just like AMD better than Intel
been looking for this comparason dont know why it took so long to pop up thanks for the vid!

I want to use the Beelink EX dock with a PCIe Gen4 extender cable and my Minisforum MS-01. Can it work?

i like the idea of it. How much does it weight? Besides this and the GPD G1, are there any other egpu docks with inbuilt PSU?

Whats the best solution for a surface pro 10 ?
The Beelink docking station wouldn't work with a Surface Pro 10; so Thunderbolt is your option.
@@cbutters So you mean the GPD G1 is the one to go for?
@@Chaser2k I prefer my own eGPU dock personally for the Surface Pro 10 :) see: th-cam.com/video/KrZ0x_z2pOc/w-d-xo.html
@@cbutters That is good, but doesnt help me. ;-) I need a small compact all in one solution.
Then yes, The GPD G1 is the most compact one with integrated PSU.
I just wished if it has AMD, then I’ll buy it. Maybe it’s just I wish mini PC should equip with this type of processor but with AMD because I just like AMD better than Intel
1080p is not what you should be using if you want to test the GPU. You are limited by the cpu in that situation.
Why didn't they do it with Oculink, Beelink shot themselves in the foot by using TB4 .
uh... they have a TB4 AND PCIE 16x slot. But Oculink also would be nice.
