Anything can be an 8K gaming system if you're playing Pong
Wise words from a wise individual
What if i wanted to play minesweeper?
@@-solus- No. You'll need an RTX 6090 Ti
bro my computer prolly runs pong at 15 fps at 360p
he should have used e sports game like cs go, rocket league
I didn't know a Comcast cable box could play games in 8k!
Not 8k though like "rule 34 of the internet" there is a DOOM port of it.
oh hell you'd be surprised at what a comcast cable box can do they can make you into a sorcerer for the right price dude 8k is nothing for them to do compared to that one🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I know right! Pretty impressive.
reminds me of the time i used to source the hard drives out of the cable boxes to use on my pc whenever we upgraded our service and they gave us a new box lol
I was actually pretty happy with the system as a whole until you mentioned that
it was $1600. My jaw hit the floor and I was completely speechless
I know right! It’s actually a pretty cool little PC, but not with that price and marketing.
In $1600 i can make better pc with pretty good gaming experience
Aye
10:30 I enjoy watching this scene from Half life immensely. It bring back memories and it's quite soothing when someone drive it for ya.
Anyway I'm hoping the mini pc cost around $200, but $1600 feel like a rip off.
I brought a used Asus gaming laptop for $140 and I'm happy that I able to play Grim Dawn.
It should have atleast a noctua cpu cooler for that price.
@@RBGAMING69 you can have good gaming for $300 and sometimes a little less
The funny thing about it is that if they just marketed it as a good entry-mid range gaming pc it would actually be decent (minus the 1 32GB ram stick)
>hardware reviewer gets so fed up with single stick RAM prebuilts he just says F&%$ IT "I'll buy the 32gb model just to make sure there's two sticks of RAM"
>they insert one single 32gb stick anyway
Hahaha I want to see GamersNexus Steve's face on opening that up
It costs 1600$ on amazon canada so... yeah
@@Rspsand07 I just want the case
*Marketed and priced as a good entry-mid range gaming PC. :P
@@x2xpenguini646 It's so funny because a lot of these cases and stuff is going to be so super rare that your old junk may be someone's treasure. Like to this day I only wanted the fans out of the now infamous Walmart DTW2 "Overpowered" PC case. They looked ebin, but I can't find them anywhere or figure out what they are (I believe some kind of Asiahorse ARGB, God they looked great when clean)
With this system you can play such great games as "bios loading screen" and "Windows desktop" in 8K!
Is this one of these NASA PCs I've been hearing about?
i can definetly run solitare with 8k
Cant wait to play “3D space cadet pinball” in 8K!
I love Windows desktop!
You laugh but I've had some of my most white knuckled moments in the BIOS playing the game, "oh my god, please boot up this time". :D
Love that they managed to pull the classic bit of including only one stick of RAM... even with 32 GB!
Shows how dedicated they are to serving their consumers
I know right! Complete madness.
leaving room to upgrade
God forbid something happens to that one stick.
tbf, as someone who always upgrades RAM I prefer that to having to throw out two sticks. On the other hand, 32GB is quite fine and doesn't scream for an upgrade...
On Prime day, they actually had a system listed as a "12K Elite Gaming" PC. It was a total scam. And if the reviews were accurate, over 30,000 people bought it and posted 5 star reviews. Yep. I reported the seller the second I read the description. It didn't even have a GPU in it. So one must ask, how can it be K anything let along 12k which doesn't even exist. If people paid the $499.99 USD for this, they honestly get what they derserved.
Maybe the K stands for Kilobyte.
@@ultrademigod I ... I am stunned ... 4k worse than my 16k Tandy PC .
The fucked up part of the situation is that grandma is gonna buy something like this for her grandkid and not know any better.
@@abnormallynormal8823 yeah
@@ultrademigod Haha!! That's the only thing that makes sense.
Took me far too long to realise you were saying 30 when you were saying "fiddy"
I've always wanted a hysterectomy gaming machine with an 8K gaming stand
Ohhh I laughed when I heard that.
Hahaha well it’s *available at Amazon* 🤣
Such an underserved market.
But can it play Hysterectomy Simulator?
The fact it opens up the same way as a old vhs player does is what makes me laugh the most
I was imagining it as an old DVR when he slid the case off.
Such PC's are sold on Aliexpress for roughly $500 for 1k there's a 2060 variants and for a little bit extra 3050
I honestly can't say enough what a breath of fresh air it is that you do a break down of the hardware AFTER you do the f'ing tests on it. Other tech reviewers (who shall not be named) break things (sometimes literally) open, do tests, and then bemoan the poor results, or complain about it SOMEHOW not working.
"you know what they say, the human eye cant see above 1 frame per second"
-Dawid 2022
actually all you need is 1 frame per second dude🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
he's wrong, human ears obviously can't smell over 2 hz
@@pafawag5b6b5b your wrong he's got a Mutant super hearing power to smell with his ears that's why Dawid is a god on youtube
I rememer back in the oold days I played then the new Unreal Tournament on a ATI (amd) mach 2 mb video card - that was about same performance
@@jari2018 back then video cards ram was in megabytes now it's gigabytes how the times have changed haven't they?
It ain’t gonna do 8k or even 4k but for 1080p that should be pretty solid! The design looks like it’s had some thought aswell! Like the design, slim and sleek, smaller than a wifi router! This would be great as a tv media box!
wait we are in the future oh wow that was quick🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But for the price you ca get something else better
LOL the price though...
Put kodi on there and bam you are good to go.
@@PrimePixelTH-cam yeah lol
Congrats to Dawid. He singlehandedly forced the seller to remove the "8K" from the description. Now it's just a "Mini Gaming PC". And the one I saw on Amazon US comes with the i7 9700 which is slightly better although it still has the 1650.
Tbh, when you mentioned the specs, I was pleasently surprised for that tiny little thing. A 1650, 9400F and 32GB of RAM isn't too bad for such a tiny PC.
I have a mini PC same ram but it's has a 5900 AMD cpu but I got it for 650
I'm not going to lie, this is the BEST "8k" mini gaming pc I've ever seen. Might have to cop it.
you know the cpu's a beast when it's running the game at between 10 and 18% when gaming at 8k🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Truly legendary
It is pretty cool, Only if you can get it for much less than I paid for it. It’s pretty cool, but it’s too expensive at 1600 CAD in my opinion.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff
Considering the drop in GPU gouging... I mean pricing, and the CPU being 2.5 generations old, I would think half that price would be a good deal.
1600 CAD is about $1250 in real money, and I wouldn't pay more than $700 for this. In fact, I bought an HP "gaming PC" for my GF from Wal-Mart with a 1660 and R5 3600 a little over a year ago for around $750. Admittedly, that came with bloatware that had to be cleansed, a HDD instead of an SSD, and the form factor is about 3x the size. Still, the CPU and GPU are more capable, and it was bought during the GPU drought.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff I totally agree. Way too expensive. If the price gets reduced, I'll most definitely get it and experience it.
On some level you gotta appreciate the dedication to ticking off the [Has only a single stick of RAM] on the Questionable Gaming Prebuilts Checklist by going and doing it with 32 whole GB of RAM.
Seriously, though, if the price was _a lot_ more reasonable this actually doesn't seem like it would be that bad for a portable pseudo-console for some light 1080p gaming and possibly also an emulation box.
He thought 30 htz on the hdmi would be a problem for 8k gaming with that computer🤣
You know it will be quite an experience when the PC turns out to be an *8K slideshow gaming PC* 🤣
The specs are honestly better than I was anticipating, I was expecting some Intel Celeron or Atom thing and a GT 520 or something.
Ahhhh, reminds me of when I tried to play ARK: SE on an early 2000's office pc, that good ol 30 seconds per frame
I hope during winter, those Pentium 4 pump out quite a bit of heat
12:40 you actually need to enable them into deeper options
in the NVIDIA control panel, in the 3D settings, there is a DSR - Factors option, that allows you to enable or disable whatever you want, the DL options are just more optimized than the others
No, the DL options are DLDSR, which takes the tech of DLSS and does it the opposite way; by taking a higher resolution and downsampling it to your monitor, with the AI tech of DLSS. They aren't "optimized" they are completely different in how they scale.
@@Dorraj And obviously the good old custom resolutions are still a thing. I can run 4K on my 1080p screen without issues through that. And also basically every other resolution I want like 1440x1080, 2400x1350, 2880x1620 and even ultrawide (with bars)
And I'm pretty sure there is a way to add the DSR factors into the menu somehow. There is to be someone who found the place they are stored and done a patch.
@@HappyBeezerStudios the person who I replied to explained how to turn the dsr resolutions on, I was just talking about what they said about the "DL" resolutions
Oh! I didn’t see that. Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll go have a look at those settings. 👍
@@Dorraj "2x more efficient" is what I mean by optimized.
Great video review! The fact that you pushed to get the most out of this mini pc is awesome! You have a new subscriber!
I absolutely love the background music to your videos. Your videos are great too... but that music... phenomenal.
I wanted to suggest upgrading this one. Glad I waited to comment after watching. You do not disappoint.
Those Dark Power PSU's are sexy AF, and I honestly never thought I would ever say that about a PSU.
Its in the name Pretty Sexy Unit.
Wait it doesn't mean that??
@@-solus- If it means that in your heart, then that's what it means.
They're okay. The fact that they did not include a hybrid fan in the DPP1500 still boggles my mind.
@@buildyourcomputer Those must be pretty undersized circuit breakers then.
But yeah, bequiet are pretty common here.
I like Corsair more
I love how cinematic that 8K footage is. It's like I've been transported to a movie theater.
Honestly this PC is actually pretty cool from a form factor standpoint.
Dawid, I have to say, every time I watch one of your videos you have me cracking up. Not only are you super creative with the ideas for your videos but your editing of all those funny pop ups etc are what really set you apart from other tech channels! I love ya, man! Keep up the great work!
That’s so nice to hear! I know I’m not Dawid but as his other half it’s awesome to hear someone appreciate his editing and creativity 🙌🏻😊
@@AnnaDoes Hi Anna! Yes, I really do love the videos he makes and I assume you help out as well as I have seen you in a few of his videos too! I am so happy his channel was recommended to me however long ago that was. He is very creative with what he covers and how he approaches things. The 'shroud' popup one is ALWAYS hilarious to me and his creativity is insanely good. Thanks for responding! :)
Thanks! That’s very nice of you to say. I’m glad you enjoy the videos. 😃
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Indeed I do. Thanks for just being you, sir! :)
Club3D has some great DP to HDMI adapters for use with pc gaming setups. Like the CAC-1085
I believe you can get a DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 adapter for not too much money, that would have got HL2 smoother and enabled the A2000 to run on the TV
This is definitely the most amazing 8K video I watched by far. 😊
I was actually really impressed with this thing at first; the form factor is really nice, and the hardware is decent, but yikes, that price... 🤢
Love your vids dawid
I do love your videos Dawid. I just your sarcasm and the brilliant ideas for videos. This one had me laughing my ass off while in work. 🤣
Your gaming and hardware sarcasm had me rollin laughing, great video!
i actually really liked that system until i saw that ridiculous price tag.
I'm amazed - You didn't overclock this beast of a 1650
glad to hear that they include the 8K Gaming PC Stand inside
The picture you showed of the "4k gaming pc" is the exact same computers we used in my schools library back in 2007. Who would have thought 15 years later they would be recycled and sold as gaming PCs on Amazon.
hystou...rectomy
had me crying for a solid minute there dawid, thank you
Hahahahaha same here
How has this channel not garnered 1 million subscribers yet? I mean the comedy is on point, the evaluations are technical-ish, the budget he has to work with seems endless. What's not to love?
Oh dawid, how I’ve missed your videos so much
I'm surprised you didn't rig up some bizarre and unnecessarily complex chain of converters from the Displayport on the PC to the HDMI on the TV :D
Look out for an "active" dp to hdmi adapter. That will let you output 8k 60 to that tv
The good people at Club3d claim their CAC-1085 adapter is up to covering displayport 1.4 to hdmi2.1 at 8k60.
If it can run Half Life 2 at 8k, it can run Cyberpunk at 8k too! They are both just games what's the difference..
I mean yea, they’re both games, so just like how a 3070 laptop GPU is 100% the same power as a 3070, 8k in one game is clearly 8k in another 😂
mom buying their kid pc be like:
i love that form factor a ton and that cramped performance. if they sold it for what it's worth and call it an entertainment box or some thing it would actually be buyable.
You had me laughing 😂 great video
'Power companies hate him!"
That 3090ti power draw...ʘ‿ʘ
He's mining bitcoin 😂
My old 2600K / R9 290X rig had the ehaust flow funneled into my pet rat's den.
On the few really cold nights per year I also had the ceramic resitors hooked up to a deep cycle marine battery.
Swanson is dead now thanks to my GTX 1070.
That thing cost 12 cents/hr to game on with that card.
i bought a display port to hdmi 2.1 converter to run a computer (with an rtx 2070 super) on an 8k tv. it did work and gave me 8k 60. it was about $50. Running any game at 8k was still crap though and even running videos at 8k 60 is pretty hard.
I dont game but was looking for something to play 8K TH-cam videos on a Sony Z9J. Apparently you were not impressed? I tried my I7 PC with RTX3050 and still got lots of dropped frames on TH-cam...so I guess this is no better?
@@Davenlr yeah, my pc could not run 8k youtube. stuttery mess at best. i had to download some 8k mpg files and run them on vlc to get 8k playback. that worked perfect for 8k 30, and just barely could do 8k 60 with occasional single stutters. i have no idea how fast a pc is needed to run 8k youtube. im not even quite sure if its a cpu or gpu bottleneck.
@@michaelwilkes0 Thanks. Ill keep looking.
@@Davenlr update: 8k 60 youtube runs great on an intel 13700k and RTX 3070. Its mostly the 3070 that does it. Turns out the 3000 series gpus have hardware AV1 decode which is what youtube is using these days for its high end videos (or maybe all of them). Just wanted to jump back in and tell you that works. Not sure if a 3060 would work. It uses about 70% of the GPU video decode on the 3070 when running 8k 60.
@@michaelwilkes0 Thanks. The 3050 works pretty good with an old I7 4770, but was looking for a mini-PC I could hang behind the TV just for 8K video. I guess it will be a while to get that.
The "Does in have vd" song earned you my subscription for life.
Great video! God bless you and yours! Praying for you!
1650 could probably handle some upscale on a few games. A2000 could leverage DLSS and use a mini DP to HDMI. I would love to see an ITX build with the 12400F and the A2000 and just push that system as far as it will go, but you have to build small form factor.
It should be good.
This would make a pretty good work pc. Maybe even use it with an external capture card for streaming. Depends on how much it costs.
I like how the screws just vanished in a snap
Outside of the marketing I was rooting for the little PC, looked like one of the better small factor builds if your excuse the single channel ram, however I then saw the price. Regardless of the better build with a better cooler and ventilation, plus the best (reasonable priced) low profile GPU it just a usual PC ripoff :(
On a side note, we need more Dawid miming to opera music !
That actually seems to be a decent little SFF gaming PC, or at least it would be at 1/3 the price...
Yeah, for the right price it would be pretty good. Either as a living room media center/gaming setup or for somebody who has to move quite a bit.
For sure!
@@HappyBeezerStudios if it was around 1k canadian and came with dual channel, id argue its probably a good buy at that point, but it would be cool if they made a gpu punchout area for when you want to swap gpus and have all ports availible. but then it wouldnt give the illusion the gpu is actually discreet lol. i think that happened with his topton one because the pictures they had for that had internals simmilar to this pc.
Love how you managed to mod it, from a mini to mini frankenstein pc :D, not to mention people still buying 4k television in reality its a 1080p display. :D i have to buy an expensive 8k HDMI cable to help with the lantency. great video
Dawid putting that PC in the stand like it's a Nintendo Switch
That's some nice seconds per frame you got there.
when Dawid said there was a cpu or memory bottleneck for the gtx 1650 it was actually power draw as a pcie slot can only output 75 watts and it was hovering dangerously close to that. there was no supplemental power so it had to slow itself down as the power management ic detected dangerous power draw, so it left 5 watts for safety reasons to do with power spikes.
Dawid Does Beard Shaving?
The gow like theme song tho. Epic!
this is a pretty respectable system compared to what I expected
12:44 why does this give the vibes of *we are going to sacrifice the PC once and for all*
Ayy let’s go dawid is back!!
i love your sarcasm XD nice video ahahah
Solitaire in 8K looks amazing!
A 1650 and a 9400F was a great paring for Battlefield V, it almost fully utilized both of them.
cant wait for the 16k version
The MUSIC !! You really should give a shout-out for that music at the close... who and where, please.
the last set up is a lot like my current gaming rig- but with an gtx 660 on an external power supply, attached to an 1150 dell mobo with a i7 4770
That 8k Gaming reminds me of Stunt Race FX on the SNES
Just the home screen is 8K, just like how those Android 4K TV boxes always were.
Seems like the perfect system for retopie install.
Love that the A2K made a reappearance so soon!
It is in fact better than you think. It has 2 features, designed for 8k video on youtube and gaming!!
How did I not find this channel earlier? This man is hilarious lol
You reminded me when I've tried to run Croc 2 Demo on my first PC with a 133MHz cpu when i was 6 years old and it was like one frame per 5 seconds lmao
The sadness in "why do so many of my videos end like this"
Dawid, this is why we love you so much!!! The videos are amazing!
The form factor of that motherboard is quite interesting.
Ggs dawid you had us in the first half
That motherboard looks a lot like a rebranded MSI Trident board, which would explain the 9th gen i5 and the horizontal pci-e slot
They have a 90 degree angle Pcie slot of the motherboard. Would be cool if some other ITX board has that.
not a bad price for the powersupply if i ever need a new one ill definately snach it up .
Theoretically, you could use the DisplayPort port using a DisplayPort to hdmi cable, they exist as well as the pigtail to convert to hdmi. You could theoretically get the absolute most out of the machine that way.
Nothing inspires more confidence than if the name of the product, displayed on the box, is "gaming PC".
so that's where all those STX form factor boards went
i sure love those 8 bit graphics in 8k
Think I know what I'm gonna buy.
Can't wait to experience Solitaire in 8k...
That reminds me of gaming on a 486! Those were the days 😁
I'd like an matx case in that layout.
That looks like the router/receiver thing for my cable television LOL
Dawid is a legend
yo that's a neat gpu actually, i'd use that for a steam pc for those couch games
Hey, that Amazon box looks just like the ones I've been getting from them lately. Only the highest quality and topmost care for the products we buy.
cool cable box bro
You could get an active DP 1.4 to HDMI adapter to make it work with 8K60, it will be a bit pricey though.
Love your videos
