**Performance Testing with AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT and Ryzen Zen 3+ CPU**

A little bit of gameplay here with For of Motorsports if you've tried this on a lower-end GPU, you know how hard it can be to run right now. We are at 900p low settings but even on the 7 ADM we've been having trouble getting up to 60 FPS. This is actually handling it quite well now, we do get some dips here and there and if you take a look at After Burner, you can see that our RAdon boost is kicking in. We're up to around 80 WTS on this Apu if you take a look at that temperature, we're not even close to Thermal throttling. This will go up to 95 before it needs the thermal throttle itself to cool down and our iGPU clock is at 2400 MHz so we are sending sufficient power to the CPU and GPU to get a game like this running at full speed on an RDNA2 iGPU.

**GPU Benchmarks using 3D Mark**

The next thing I wanted to take a look at were some GPU benchmarks using 3D Mark. Here's Night Raid coming in with a 23,9 FPS score on the 187 Fire Strike test and surprisingly, Time Spy gave us a 3089 score so with the new 7,000 series APUs and RDNA 3 Graphics, the highest score I've gotten with Time Spy on the Ryzen Z1 Extreme was 3300. So we're not far off here with RDNA 2. I ran the built-in Benchmark here with Shadow of the Tomb Raider, we're at 1080p but I do have resolution scale set to 75% and with this we got an average of 62 FPS.

**Performance in Spider-Man Remastered**

Spider-Man remastered was really impressive but I did take it down to 720p. Probably should have just gone to 900p with it seeing what kind of performance we're getting here not too bad on average, we got 81 FPS which is way more than I was expecting. I mean this is one of those games that's always given us trouble on iGPUs but with these newer driver updates, we're seeing some great performance here.

**Performance in Forza Horizon 5**

Next we have Forza Horizon 5 at 1080p medium settings, we got an average of 88 FPS with this and I don't have any kind of Ray tracing on. I always turn it off, I think at medium it does default to off on the 780M the RDNA 3 iGPUs. We're seeing the same kind of performance here and with that we also turn off R tracing but yeah, I mean definitely playable on this little setup.

**Performance in God of War**

Here's God of War at 900p original settings FSR is set to Performance, that's really going to help out with this unless you want to go down to 720 and even then I mean it's really not that bad. Taking FSR to balanced, it still looks pretty good at 720 but I wanted to leave it here at 900p and we got an average of 68 FPS.

**Performance in Cyberpunk 2077**

The final game here is Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p with low settings and when I say low I go into the settings there make sure everything is turned to low. We also have FSR set to Performance, we got an average of 74 FPS and I've tested this extensively on the 780M iGPU which is based on RDNA 3 at about 50 watts in the Rog Ally, we can average 78 so again not that far off.

**Total System Power Consumption**

Another thing I wanted to talk about here was total system power consumption from the wall. While I'm doing my testing, I have this plugged into a kilowatt meter it's not a low power consumption PC by any means because at idle we're at 19 Watts average gaming jumped up to around 84 and while doing an extreme stress test maxing out the iGPU eight cores and 16 threads we saw a total wattage pulled from the wall of 112 now it does come with that 120 watt power supply so we're under that but yeah, I mean to get this kind of performance it definitely needs to draw some wattage. Overall, I think performance is looking great here and I was really surprised to see how close it's coming to those 780M Graphics based on RDNA 3.

**Conclusion**

We will leave some links in the description for more information about the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT and Ryzen Zen 3+ CPU. If you want to see Steam OS or any other Linux distribution running on this Mini PC, let me know down below.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's going on everybody it's ETA Prime back here again today we're going to be taking a look at a brand new powerful Mini PC from Min Forum known as the 690s actually one of my favorite from their Venus series and with this we do have some upgrades plus we've got driver updates to kind of take a look at to see how performance has progressed and I've been doing some testing with this chip I'm really impressed by what this thing can do now the main claim to fame to the S variant we have here is the new cooling system that minus for has implemented and if you're familiar with Min forums mini PCS you know they do have some of the best coolers when it comes to these ryzen apus and I suspect with this new cooling system we're going to see some lower temps even at really high wattages but inside of the Box along with the um 690s we get a 120 wat power supply HDMI cable a mounting bracket along with some Hardware so we can actually Mount this on the bottom of a table on the wall or the back of a monitor and this Mini PC also supports a 2.5 in drive in the bottom of the unit so we've got the cabling here along with some Hardware to get that mounted up inside now I did want to take a look at their older Venus series unit just to give you an idea of what the difference is here and as you can see it is a bit taller and that's because we've got a new cooling system in the bottom of this unit actually using a dual fan design as you can see we've got a lot more ventilation here as opposed to the older versions so this should allow it to pull in more cool air and when it comes to I/O on the 690s up front here we've got a 3.5 mm combo Jack usb4 and this does support 40 gig protocol we can easily connect an egpu we've also got another USBC port and this is only 3.2 Gen 2 but moving around back we've got our power input 2.5 GB ethernet port and dual HDMI ports that support 4K 60l the cheapest option they offer over on the website for the um69 s is the Bare Bones model which means you will need to add your own RAM and storage and getting in here is relatively easy as you can see we've got that new cooling system down here dual fans we've basically got a wide open area to pull a lot of air in they're also using their new m.2 cooler so that air will flow over the RAM and the m.2 to keep everything nice and chilly down here but I kind of like this setup I know it's a bit taller than the older versions that they offered but in order to get those lower temps I think this is something they definitely needed to do now when it comes to the specs of the um 690s for the CPU or Apu we've got the AMD ryzen 9 6900 HX eight cores 16 threads a base clock of 3.3 GHz and a boost up to 4.9 this is based on zen3 plus so it's not a zen4 Apu but with driver updates and everything you'll see the performance I mean I was kind of Blown Away by what this thing can do the igpu is the Radeon 68m with 12 cus up to 2400 MHz this one happens to have 32 GB of ddr5 in dual Channel running at 4800 MHz we've also got Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 and I'm going to be running Windows 11 but if anybody wants to see Steam OS or any variant of Linux running on this Mini PC let me know in the comments below another couple things we have here with the 690s is their dual heat SN so this is really awesome and it's actually one of my favorite coolers for these mini PCS we've been able to take the wattage up quite high on some of these chips with this exact cooling system here and along with this they've also implemented liquid metal so yeah I mean we can definitely go up with the TDP on this thing if we wanted to using that ryzen 9 6900 HX as an everyday PC is going to work out great you want to do some video editing you can get it done photo editing web browsing email checking document editing it handles 4K video playback like a champ so in this video I kind of wanted to take a look at just gaming performance and the the first thing I wanted to show off here was the TDP so base TDP out of the box with that CPU and GPU maxed out here 70 Watts but you can always use a third- party application to take this up a bit now it's not recommended by men Forum they've got these set up out of the box the way they want them so do this at your own risk but yeah it can definitely unlock a lot of performance and you know keep in mind with the 680m or any of these igpus they do require a little wattage to keep those clocks up now this will go up to 2400 MHz and through my testing I've seen this Max added about 38 Watts just on the igpu side so having that extra wattage to keep the clocks up on the CPU and the GPU at the same time is really where it's at with these mini PCS I also wanted to give you a look at the driver version we're on 23.1 111.1 and of course this is going to be higher in the future but since we're working with rdna2 Graphics we don't have access to hyper RX that's something that AMD has recently implemented for rdna 3 that kind of combines all of their Technologies antilag super resolution together to get a little better performance but I don't actually think we need it here with the 68m now I did mention that I'm really impressed with the igpu performance and we're going to jump right into a little bit of gameplay here with for of Motorsports if you've tried this on a lowerin GPU you know how hard it can be to run right now we are at 900p low settings but even on the 7 ADM we've been having trouble getting up to 60 but this is actually handling it quite well now we do get some dips here and there and if you take a look at After Burner you can see that our radon boost is kicking in we're up to around 80 WTS on this Apu if you take a look at that temperature we're not even close to Thermal throttling this will go up 95 before it needs the thermal throttle itself to cool down and our igpu clock is at 2400 MHz so we are sending sufficient power to the CPU and GPU to get a

was really impressive but I did take it down to 720p I probably should have just went to 900p with it seeing what kind of performance we're getting here not too bad on average we got 81 f PS which is way more than I was expecting I mean this is one of those games that's always given us trouble on igpus but with these newer driver updates we're seeing some great performance here next we have Forza Horizon 5 1080p medium settings we got an average of 88 FPS with this and I don't have any kind of Ray tracing on I always turn it off I think at medium it does default to off on the 780m the rdna 3ig gpus I usually go to High 1080 we're seeing the same kind of performance here and with that we also turn off R tracing but yeah I mean definitely playable on this little setup here's God of War 900p original settings FSR is set to Performance that's really going to help out with this unless you want to go down to 720 and even even then I mean it's really not that bad taking FSR to balanced it still looks pretty good at 720 but I wanted to leave it here at 900p and we got an average of 68 FPS and the final game here is cyberpunk 2077 1080p we're at low settings and when I say low I go into

to see how close it's coming to those 780m graph Graphics based on rdna 3 we're working with a Zen 3 plus CPU so we're not going to see the kind of performance we see out of Zen 4 but these Graphics are definitely keeping up especially with those new AMD drivers if you're interested in learning a little more about the minus Forum 690s I will leave some links in the description and like I mentioned at the beginning of the video if you want to see Steam OS or any other Linux drro running on this Mini PC let me know down below but that's going to wrap it up for this video and like always
