Getting Average 103 FPS at 4K Resolution with Minus Forum Mini ITX Build

We're getting an average of around 103 FPS here which is more than enough and yeah it does look great here at 4K. But this is a game I mean you can definitely get by playing at 1080 with something like this, I wouldn't mind just locking it down at 60 or maybe even 120 at 1080p having a pretty good time with it.

Here's Horizon zero Dawn just using that built-in Benchmark for 4K very high so we're maxed out here no dlss and I actually didn't think we'd see this kind of performance, I figured we need to add a little bit of resolution scale but we managed to average 97 FPS and of course if you need more for some odd reason you could always add a little bit of dlss or even just take it down to 1440p for a Horizon 5.

I knew we weren't going to have any issues with this at 4K with no dlss, extreme settings averaged 5 FPS within and it looks absolutely amazing. It's really hard to kind of record a video using even just a game capture device and upload it to YouTube to give you the idea of how good it looks on a good 4K display but this is absolutely beautiful. Personally been playing a lot of MK1 lately and I wanted to see if we could do this at 4K with no dlss, yeah it's handling it just fine we're not even really stressing out that CPU and GPU at 4K when it comes to fighting games on a system like this.

Everything on the market is going to run at 4K in my experience, this has been the hardest fighting game on the market right now to run and uh without any dlss we're at 60 FPS so everything else is going to function just fine. I'm not a big Call of Duty player but uh this is the one I have, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 4K Ultra, dlss set to Quality as this was going.

I was just watching The Benchmark run and I was pretty Amazed by what kind of performance this thing is putting out Because by the end of this we had an average of 173 FPS and of course you could go and tweak and tune everything if you need more out of it or you could actually turn some of these settings up to lock it there at 144 with a really nice Monitor.

The final game I wanted to test here was cyberpunk 2077, of course. With something like this we did have to drop that resolution down even though we've got that 470 super and right now we're at 1440p Ray tracing Ultra from the preset and it did turn on dlss so that set to Auto in some cases I see it getting really close to under 60, I mean the lowest I saw was 61 but that's kind of pushing it. So we can actually go into the settings and enable some newer Technologies from Nvidia to really help out with this.

1440p Ray tracing Ultra preset and what we're going to do here is turn on dlss frame generation so we're using the same exact settings here and now we've got a boost up over 100 FPS. I've been messing around with with this new frame gen and it really does work Wonders on a lot of these games that do support it.

Before we were getting an average of around 68 FPS with no frame generation, 1440p Ray tracing Ultra with dlss set to Auto but now with those same settings and enabling frame gen we're getting an average of 115 FPS. I mean that's a massive jump and if you take a look at afterburner you can see that this 7945 HX is right there at 100 watts and we're only hitting around 70° C maximum temp.

That was compiling some shaders for another game during gameplay, we didn't even come close to hitting thermal throttle so in the end I think it went together really nicely. We've got a super small foreign factor build that'll run anything you throw at it. I'm a huge fan of these new minus Forum Mini ITX boards with that built-in CPU and the 7945 HX is the highest in variant they offer right now, 16 cores 32 threads is definitely overkill for something like this but pairing it up with that Asus dual RTX 470 super really opened this whole thing up.

Now if you're interested and learning a little more about any of the parts that I used in this build or if you want to put something together similar to this, I'll leave links down below. And if there's anything else you want to see running on this rig let me know in the comments but that's going to wrap it up for this video and like always thanks for watching

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit might seem a bit odd but in this mini desktop gaming PC we've actually got a 16 core 32 thread mobile chip and this thing is really putting down some amazing performance by far one of the most powerful mini gaming PCs we've ever put together in this form factor hey what's going on everybody it's ETA Prime pack here again today we're going to be putting together a mini ITX gaming PC that'll play any AAA game on the market and what makes this build so interesting is we're actually going to be using a 16 core 323 red ryzen 9 7945 HX now if you're familiar with these ryzen chips you know that this is a mobile chip but obviously we're building a desktop gaming PC and in order for all of this to work we're going to be using Min form's brand new BD 790i motherboard so they've come to the market with some really nice mini ITX boards that do include a cooler and a CPU with this we happen to have the 7945 ax and if you're interested in something a little lower in they do have you covered over there with AMD and Intel I'll leave links in the description but this is definitely the one that I wanted to test out because with this we've got one of the most powerful mobile chips on the market 16 cores 32 threads all based on Zen 4 now I do call these all-in-one Mini ITX motherboards but we do need to add our own RAM and storage basically what we've got here is our CPU nice cooler it even includes a PCI ex16 5.0 slot so we can easily add a giant GPU to this build nice cooler over here for the m.2 drives we can add two pcie 5.0 nvme ssds here and when it comes to Ram this utilizes so DM ddr5 personally I like what minus for is done here with these Mini ITX boards kind of takes the hassle out of building something we do need to add a fan RAM and storage to this and of course if you want to up that graphics performance you will need a GPU it does come with a bracketing system for a 120 mm CPU fan uh I'm going to be going with a 1 tbte Kingston Renegade Fury m.2 SSD we're going to put it right under that big cooler there and finally in order to get this motherboard up and running we do need some Ram I'm going with 32 GB of crucial running and dual Channel at 5200 megat transfers per second now I've been looking for a really good fan for these new minora motherboards I've tested out a bunch of different fans but the one I kind of settled on for this build is the noctua nf12 this is actually a heavyduty cooling fan it is a bit louder than some of their other units out there I don't think we're going to need to spin it up as fast but I wanted to have sufficient cooling just in case we needed it for these 16 cores and 32 threads assembly on these boards is really simple I mean they've taken the CPU and cooler out of the equation so basically we just need to add our RAM and storage going with 32 gigs here in dual Channel storage is handled by that 1 tbte Kingston Fury m.2 SSD and it is a pcie 4.0 SSD and once I've got everything installed the board looks a little something like this we're about 57 mm high with this fan and of course you could go with a lower profile fan if you wanted to to fit in a smaller form factor case but for what I'm going with this is basically the maximum that I can fit so I've got the motherboard CPU RAM and storage all finished up and of course with that 7945 HX it does have an igpu built in but it's not the most powerful it's based on rdna2 and we've only got two compute units so in order to make this a real gaming PC I need to add a GPU so for this I'm going with the new Asus dual GeForce RTX 470 super non-ti variant we've got 12 gigs of gddr 6xv RAM and this thing should put down some amazing performance in a small form factor I actually really do like the design that Asus went with for their dual 470 super it's uh very minimalistic not too much going on here it's not flashy at all and it's a 2.56 slot design so with a lot of the Mini ITX cases on the market right now we shouldn't have an issue Fitness inside dual fan design with ball bearings and it's using asus's new axial fan design so it should be nice and quiet we also have fan stop built in so uh you know those are shut off when we don't need them overall I think it's a pretty good looking card and I think it's going to perform quite well in this small form factor unit and speaking of small form factor I'll give you a look at the case I chose to use now I did have another one in mind but unfortunately wouldn't be here for about a week and a half so what we've got here is the s300 it's actually a pretty inexpensive case around $89 with a pcie4 .0 Riser and we're definitely going to need it here for that RTX 470 super and one thing to keep in mind is this case only supports an sfx power supply so I've got a 700 wat fully modular unit here that's going to fit right in here we've got plenty of power for the GPU and CPU combo we went with putting everything inside of the case should be pretty straightforward and when it comes to the BD 790i it does come with an IO back plate just forgot to show that off when I assembled everything but yeah this case only supports up to a 57 mm CPU Cooler and this is right at the edge I mean we can put this on we don't have to force anything but with this KN to a fan I think it's the perfect height for this little unit I wasn't even really thinking about the CPU Cooler height it just kind of got lucky here but it's right there at the edge I mean it is perfect for this little case and again with the $89 version of the s300 you do get a pcie 4.0 Riser because the GPU is going to sit on the back side of this case and speaking speak of the graphics card this new Asus dual RTX 470 super does fit in here quite nicely it's a 2.56 slot design so it's a bit larger than a 2.5 slot design obviously but with this case it does give us a little bit of wiggle room to fit this right in here it'll sit right in here nice and neat now I do need to kind of rearrange the wires going to the motherboard on the back side of this but uh once we get everything in I think it's actually going to be a pretty clean little build also now that I've got everything assembled you can see this went together really nicely now one thing I'd like to change here is just some shorter cables for that power supply I did have to kind of tuck them in the bottom there but it doesn't get in the way of anything and even with the side panels off it does look like a pretty clean little setup and even over on this side with that Asus dual GeForce RTX 470 super really clean cabling went together very nicely on the back side of this thing all that's really left to do is get into some testing okay so here it is got everything installed everything updated I've been doing some testing so far and yeah I mean this thing really does put down the power as you can see we've got that ryzen 9 7945 HX 16 cores 32 threads and again I do want to mention this is the mobile variant this is a chip that comes in high-end laptops but we're in a desktop now with a much better cooling system than we have in any laptop on the market so we can really push this thing and get some amazing performance out of it 32 gigs of DDR 5 at 5200 MHz and of course we've got that RTX 470 super this is the non-ti variant with 12 gigs of vram since this is the first time testing this chip out in a desktop I figured we'd go ahead and check out the TDP What minus form has this thing running at so let's go ahead and open up some applications I've got CPU Z over here core temp just so we can see that total TDP right here and this is that CPU package power I'm going to go ahead and stress this CPU out all 16 cores 32 threads and we've got 100 watt TDP on this thing so we don't have to utilize the built-in rdna 2ig GPU I've actually disabled it because we're going to be using that RTX 470 super and yeah I mean it can deliver all that power to the CPU and the temps are not bad at all I mean even through gaming I have seen this thing go up to around 86° C in this case but we're not at thermal throttle and it kind of comes right back down I definitely want to get into some high-end AAA gaming in just a second but the first thing I wanted to show off were some benchmarks that I ran on this build and first up we've got geekbench 6 and remember we're running this 7945 HX at 100 Watts single core 2,890 multi with an outstanding 16584 even for a desktop chip this would be super impressive but you know we're working with the mobile variant here really impressive to see these kind of scores out of a chip like this but again we do have 16 zen4 cores here rocking it out let's go ahead and move over to some GPU benchmarks and of course with this RTX 470 super we're going to see some amazing scores here from the synthetics 3D Mark fire strike 39,0 992 since we've got an RTX card I figured we'd go ahead and run a ray tracing Benchmark so we've got 3D Mark Port Royal 12,493 and finally time spy with an 18,8 94 when it comes to the form factor we're working with here around 8.1 L this is definitely the most powerful that we've built so far over on the channel but I'm sure down the road we'll see something with more performance because that's how technology works but either way I mean just taking a look at these synthetics I know for sure we're going to get some amazing gaming performance out of this from 1440p even up to 4K and the first game we have here is power world 4K very high with dlss set to Quality and to tell you the truth I think after more optimizations from the developers and Driver optimizations we won't need any dlss at 4K very high we're getting an average of around 103 FPS here which is more than enough and yeah it does look great here at 4K but this is a game I mean you can definitely get by playing at 1080 with something like this I wouldn't mind just locking it down at 60 or maybe even 120 at 1080p having a pretty good time with it here's Horizon zero Dawn just using that built-in Benchmark for 4K very high so we're maxed out here no dlss and I actually didn't think we'd see this kind of performance I figured we need to add a little bit of resolution scale but we managed to average 97 FPS and of course if you need more for some odd reason you could always add a little bit of dlss or even just take it down to 1440p for a horizon 5 I knew we weren't going to have any issues with this at 4K with no dlss extreme settings averaged 5 FPS within and it looks absolutely amazing it's really hard to kind of record a video using even just a game capture device and upload it to YouTube to give you the idea of how good it looks on a good 4K display but this is absolutely beautiful

definitely get by playing at 1080 with something like this I wouldn't mind just locking it down at 60 or maybe even 120 at 1080p having a pretty good time with it here's Horizon zero Dawn just using that built-in Benchmark for 4K very high so we're maxed out here no dlss and I actually didn't think we'd see this kind of performance I figured we need to add a little bit of resolution scale but we managed to average 97 FPS and of course if you need more for some odd reason you could always add a little bit of dlss or even just take it down to 1440p for a horizon 5 I knew we weren't going to have any issues with this at 4K with no dlss extreme settings averaged 5 FPS within and it looks absolutely amazing it's really hard to kind of record a video using even just a game capture device and upload it to YouTube to give you the idea of how good it looks on a good 4K display but this is absolutely beautiful personally been playing a lot of MK1 lately and I wanted to see if we could do this at 4K with no dlss and yeah it's handling it just fine we're not even really stressing out that CPU and GPU at 4K when it comes to fighting games on a system like this everything on the market is going to run at 4K in my experience this has been the hardest fighting game on the market right now to run and uh without any dlss we're at 60 FPS so everything else is going to function just fine I'm not a big Call of Duty player but uh this is the one I have Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 4K Ultra dlss set to Quality as this was going I was just watching The Benchmark run and I was pretty Amazed by what kind of performance this thing is putting out Because by the end of this we had an average of 173 FPS and of course you could go and tweak and tune everything if you need more out of it or you could actually turn some of these settings up to lock it there at 144 with a really nice Monitor and the final game I wanted to test here was cyberpunk 2077 of course with something like this we did have to drop that resolution down even though we've got that 470 super and right now we're at 1440p Ray tracing Ultra from the preset and it did turn on dlss so that set to Auto in some cases I see it getting really close to under 60 I mean the lowest I saw was 61 but that's kind of pushing it so we can actually go into the settings and enable some newer Technologies from Nvidia to really help out with this so 1440p rate tracing Ultra preset and what we're going to do here is turn on dlss frame generation so we're using the same exact settings here and now we've got a boost up over 100 FPS I've been messing around with with this new frame gen and it really does work Wonders on a lot of these games that do support it before we were getting an average of around 68 FPS with no frame generation 1440p ra tracing Ultra with dlss set to Auto but now with those same settings and enabling frame gen we're getting an average of 115 FPS I mean that's a massive jump and if you take a look at afterburner you can see that this 7945 HX is right there at 100 watts and we're only hitting around 70° C maximum temp that I saw out of this little board was 86° C and that was compiling some shaders for another game during gameplay we didn't even come close to hitting thermal throttle so in the end I think it went together really nicely we've got a super small forign factor build that'll run anything you throw at it I'm a huge fan of these new minus Forum Mini ITX boards with that built-in CPU and the 7945 HX is the highest in variant they offer right now 16 cores 32 threads is definitely overkill for something like this but pairing it up with that Asus dual RTX 470 super really opened this whole thing up now if you're interested and learning a little more about any of the parts that I used in this build or if you want to put something together similar to this I'll leave links down below and if there's anything else you want to see running on this rig let me know in the comments but that's going to wrap it up for this video and like always thanks for watching\n"
