Hard to tell, I usually flip over to the performance renderer in Fortnite to get optimal speeds. Comes with being a poor kid with a 2mb Amiga 500+ in a world of friends who all had Pentium PCs. What kind of frames does a PS4 get in Fortnite @ 1080p?
From a Reddit post by CatalyticDragon: "The 680M is way faster than a base PS4. The 680M has more than 2x the compute performance (but similar memory bandwidth). The CPU on the 6800h is a big step up too. So The Witcher 3 struggled to maintain 30FPS on the PS4, but the 680M manages 40-60FPS. And the whole package runs using less power. The PS4 was ~165 watts to 310 watts (max). The 6800h uses a fraction of that with a 45W TDP."

As we all know most of these mini’s use laptop processors! With that said we could get them with like a Ryzen 5 6845HS, they have 4 Ryzen 5’s in the HS and the 8000 series but 7000 too. But no one is saying anything, so our choices are the Ryzen 7 or 9 and they wonder why they overheat.
@@PanacaCat according to some website I just saw, the 6950h uses less power, but tbh looking at the temperatures in benchmarks (70-80 degrees at 65w tdp) and scores, the combination of CPU, case, and new cooling setup makes most of the difference. ... That was a very long sentence.

@@eizcher the k8 / 8845hs that we reviewed? Depends what you are looking for tbh. The k8 has a better CPU and GPU onboard, but the M7 is MUCH quieter and an oculink port if you want to expand with external GPU. All depends on what's important for you
@@TeamPandory tbh, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, it will be my first time buying this stuff. I'm a bit tight with my budget but I'm planning to use it to play monster hunter games. can you help me suggest which one mini pc I should buy that is not to weak/overkill to do so? I'm considering the K8 right now..
@@eizcher put it this way, all of these Ryzen mini pcs are better than all those laptop things we got a couple of years ago for far cheaper 👍 The k8 may be a little noisy if you use performance mode, but will be better in games. The M7 is the next generation of case and cooling and it's just a smarter more refined version from gmktec. In your case I'd go K6 or K8 as it has the 780m Radeon GPU, will help with games, or show next weekend for our giveaway... Or just grab an M7 and learn the system.
It's going to be more expensive, for sure. Case, PSU, motherboard, and we've already equalled the price. Then add CPU, GPU, NVME, Windows key... The only way to equal the price is to go used.
The plastic see through cover of version 3 (the pro model) makes me wish for a fully translucent case. Mmmm. In orange! Or even blue! Oh if only! 06:51 wait what now? I like seeing previous generation APUs mini PCs come with oculink. I think it's a good move and it gives an extra reason to go for one such mini PC even though they are not carrying the latest iGPU in them. Smart move. Not going to buy one (poor and all), but seriously good move.
@@TrusteftTech both M7 and M7 pro have translucent lids. Very trendy ❤️ I've let gmktec know about the WiFi, and they'll probably change it out for a better chip of they can verify that we experienced. Definitely enter the compo if you can.

I bought a Bosgame H77 in August, for about 429 dollars (400 euros) and I only had negative experiences. I’m seriously thinking of taking advantage of this promotion GMKtech M7 or pro. It is really very cheap, it’s so cheap that it seems that it will come with a defect lol.
@@TeamPandory The fan that comes with it to cool the RAM and NVME doesn't turn off or takes a long time to turn off and stop making noise when the computer is suspended or turned off. Then you have to unplug the cable from the motherboard or disconnect the cable from the power supply, all because the company doesn't provide a bios update to fix this problem. 2. Because of this, when I play games, the parts get very hot. I could play before, but now, when I play just 20 minutes of Horizon Zero Dawn, in 720p, the pc restarts and goes straight to the bios. I've tried using a heatsink, I've reinstalled the bios update, but nothing works (ironic laughter), 400 euros (I got it on sale, the 1TB + 32GB version) thrown away. You can use it normally for productivity, but more demanding tasks, like playing Horizon, forget it! It'll give you a blue screen (as it did yesterday), or reboot by going to the bios. A shame, it seemed like an excellent deal, but I'm disappointed by the company's attitude.
I am pretty sure the 1660 Ti is much faster than the 680M. At least under normal circumstances. If the GPU is not thermal throttling, or is bottlenecked by something (CPU, RAM, phase of the moon), it should be considerably faster than the 680M. Having said that, I never played fortnite and never plan to do so (due to Epic client).
@@TrusteftTech Fortnite was set to performance mode in the video which changes many settings to achieve more fps but even so its still impressive for a mini pc.
Just Better Cooling & an Oculink Port. Not different from the M6-6800h; which is easily tuned to match those +200MHz Base/Boost/680M clocks. At LEAST they could have tuned for 5600MT SODIMMS, given the use of System RAM as VRAM; that would have been nice. So much moreexoensive than the 6800h; and basically offers just an Oculink port & real fan?? Meh... Just feels like GMKTec has way too many barely different models within $150 US of one another from 6800H to 7840HS; and performance in most use-cases is very similar. The lower-end models (6800/6850/7735) should be around $300 by now w/ 16GB & 512 SSD- into former 57/58/5900 territory. Likewise, Ryzen 5000 series mobile offerings should be dkwn near $200 and CRUSH the N95/N100 offerings. Perhaps we shall see that by 2025?
The M6 has a 6600H, not a 6800H. But yes, the reason I looked at the innovations of case design and extras is because there's not much difference in the computer against something like the K5 (7735HS inside the second case design). You could argue there's too many, but once you realize that when there's choice you can get better prices, I don't think there's any reason for complaints. Especially if each model improves (ever so slightly sometimes) upon the last.
Hmm I can see the K6 100USD cheaper on GMKTEC website. Occulink is not worth 100USD given the downgrade of CPU/iGPU speed. Hell even the barebone K8 is chaper !!!
@@lubossoltes321 as we mention in this video, the prices fluctuate on their website. We also mentioned the k6 re: it being better for gaming. - The oculink option is worth it for people that actively want to use external graphics. And that's okay. Options are good 😊
That's the thing, this mini pc steps around the GPU needing to be super powerful, as it has the oculink port. The price can be low because they used Zen3+, which makes it a nice middle ground. Definitely looking forward to seeing what the newer Radeon integrated GPUs have in store for us though 😊
The cancer of transparent design is spreading out the mini pc market, i was avoiding gay microwaves and gay aquariums, and I am now avoiding gay lunch boxes. Do they really want me to switch to consoles ?? 😂😂😂

Perhaps we shall see that by 2025?
The M6 has a 6600H, not a 6800H.
But yes, the reason I looked at the innovations of case design and extras is because there's not much difference in the computer against something like the K5 (7735HS inside the second case design).
You could argue there's too many, but once you realize that when there's choice you can get better prices, I don't think there's any reason for complaints. Especially if each model improves (ever so slightly sometimes) upon the last.
Hmm I can see the K6 100USD cheaper on GMKTEC website. Occulink is not worth 100USD given the downgrade of CPU/iGPU speed. Hell even the barebone K8 is chaper !!!
@@lubossoltes321 as we mention in this video, the prices fluctuate on their website. We also mentioned the k6 re: it being better for gaming. - The oculink option is worth it for people that actively want to use external graphics. And that's okay. Options are good 😊
Red Hot Chili Peppers. Heh.
@@dlewis9760 when they couldn't sing ftw!
Ryzen AI 9 HX370 would make much more sense, integrated GPU there is leaps and bounds comparing to Zen 3+
That's the thing, this mini pc steps around the GPU needing to be super powerful, as it has the oculink port. The price can be low because they used Zen3+, which makes it a nice middle ground.
Definitely looking forward to seeing what the newer Radeon integrated GPUs have in store for us though 😊
i subscribe. i hope i win the gift. i like you man :) VERY GOOD REVIEW
@@dwiduo82 thanks 🙏. It'll be properly announced in the next few days.
Good luck 🤞🍀
The cancer of transparent design is spreading out the mini pc market, i was avoiding gay microwaves and gay aquariums, and I am now avoiding gay lunch boxes.
Do they really want me to switch to consoles ?? 😂😂😂
No need to switch... Don't worry, your secret is safe with us 😁
