This Mini PC Can Game at 4K #Helpful Post

I don't know what to do with my hands

hey guys this is Austin

this tiny computer is packing some

serious power so this is the zotac

magnus en 1070 so if you guys remember a

couple months ago I did a video on the

Alienware alpha r2

now that was a great little console

killer PC however it was really aimed at

1080p this is focused on VR and

especially 4k gaming so Wenzhou type

offered to send this out I couldn't say

no so first of all we get wow that's

actually a lot of paperwork oh well I

almost threw this away I'm like oh a

disc who cares however inside there's

also a flash drive so this has all of

our drivers which are still probably out

of date but it's very least we can

actually use it those drivers actually

might come in handy too since this is a

bare-bones system so what that means is

it's somewhere in between building

something yourself and having a

completely pre-built system so it closes

most of what you need in the box however

you still get the option of putting in

your own SSD your own memory and your

own operating system moving on we have

the power adapter now it'll be nice to

not have to deal with an external power

brick because the system is so small I

can understand besides it's not that big

so here is the PC itself there's

something so powerful this is pretty

small so for comparison this is what it

looks like next to a ps4 as you can see

even though it's packing a lot more

power it's still a really small computer

in really that's one of the big

advantages of getting a system like this

sure you can build something yourself

that's going to be more powerful for the

same money however is not going to be

easy to build anything anywhere near as

powerful in such a tiny package that's

actual metal Wow so on top we've just

got some plastic as well as on the

bottom however we actually have a fair

few ports so up front we have an SD card

reader USB 3.1 port as well as a 3.1

enabled USB C might be a mouthful

however this guy is rockin some ports

and around back you have four more USB

as well as a pair of HDMI a pair of

DisplayPort and a pair of ethernet jacks

and since this is a bare-bones system

it's also going to be easy to get into

so ZOTAC includes a pair of thumb screws

on the back

then if we push the back off yeah super

easy so inside is where we're going to

install all of our parts so not only do

we have to DD our four sodium's slots

for memory but you also can use either

an m2 as SD slot or you can also use the

two and a half inch drive Bay which can

work with either a hard drive or SSD now

what you can't is easily upgrade or any

of the core internals such as the CPU or

GPU as you can imagine with something

like this they didn't exactly just cram

normal gtx 1070 inside however there's a

big warranty void sticker right here so

I want to think twice about that so for

this system I'm installing a samsung 950

pro now if this was going to be my main

system I would probably also take

advantage of the two and a half inch

drive so something like a really fast

nvme SSD paired with maybe like a two

terabyte hard drive would really kind of

be the best of both worlds for in we

have 16 gigabytes of Crucial ddr4 memory

now one thing you need to keep in mind

is that these are so dense so unlike

normal desktop Ram this is gonna be a

lot smaller which considering this is a

small gaming PC kind of make sense so as

far as getting this operational that's

pretty much all you have to do the last

step is to install your operating system

I'm gonna be using Windows 10 and we're

good to go inside the zotac we've got a

core i5 6400 t the gtx 1070 and with

specs like this while the cpu is a

little bit on the weaker side it still

is quad core which means that now I

should be able to play some 4k games but

it's also VR ready so the first game

we're going to be trying is Middle Earth

shadow of Mordor now this might be a

couple years old however especially a 4k

this thing is no joke yeah so intense so

intense so we're playing shadow Mordor

on 4k on high settings now for something

that's this small nice for something

this small it's not bad

we actually could crank the settings up

just a little bit however we're getting

a pretty solid frame right here without

even needing to deal with haha it's so

good next we have the witcher 3 now this

is a game that absolutely holds up

graphics wise i would be surprised if we

can actually run this maxed out at 4k so

here with medium settings at 4k things

are pretty playable it's still not

perfect so we're getting upper 30s in

the framerate

however this is not an easy game to run

Oh next we have battlefield 1 now this

actually isn't a game that have been

able to test you much some curious how

it performs

I just game looks so good so for now

we're playing on 4k medium and

immediately it's looks so nice

there's really something to be said like

I know that some people talk about 4k is

not worth it and depending on like what

you're really doing it might not be but

if you actually had like a proper TV it

makes a big difference

well not in your gameplay it makes a

difference to you know how pretty the

game looks ok I'm actually kind of

terrible so yes the zotac is expensive

and I'll have a link in the description

if you guys want to check it out however

considering just how much power you're

getting in such a small package it's

actually not that bad

so what do you guys think about the

system definitely be sure to let me know

in the comments below and I will catch

you in the next one
