**The Struggle is Real: A Review of the Little Eye GPU**
I'm not sure if "struggling" is a strong enough word to describe the performance issues with this little eye GPU. We're running into RAM limitations, and it's clear that we've only got access to six gigs of RAM. I think that's some of the worst GTA 5 performance I've ever seen in my life.
This experience is definitely on par with Cyberpunk on a PlayStation 4 level gaming experience - it's absolutely horrendous. So, we've dropped it down to 720p now and... well, it's still unplayable. We're still sitting at just under 20 frames per second average. I mean, that's almost double that.
We've dropped it to 800x600, and the full screen option is really confusing. It feels okay on Dota, but somehow it manages to run on the utmost garbage like it really is impressive how well Dota handles these horrendous PCs.
Look at that - there was actually a noticeable frame drop when we... oh look at that. Oh no, that really tells you a lot about this system that you're hitting in the 40s in Half-Life 2. We're sitting at less than 40 frames per second and there's not even much going on at the moment.
Yeah, it really is crazy how far these loser eye GPUs have come in not even that long a time. But with that, let's open up this bad boy and see what it looks like inside because this cooling solution is very impressive.
I come right next to it, and it's barely audible while gaming. I'm really want to see how they actually achieve that. I'm really excited to tear this open and have a look inside. I'm curious to see how they get it so quiet.
So now, I'm gonna use the trusty splooger... oh, the oof. I am definitely taking this thing's virginity. I can tell you that right now. I feel like I should be censoring what I'm doing here.
Hey, we got it open. Look at that - that's a really cool-looking uh cooling solution. That's a huge fin stack with a reasonable fan. It's not been cleaned out recently, but huge heat pipe running to that... looks really cool.
I'm curious to see if this is a socketed CPU or if it's like soldered onto the main board. It's normal SATA interconnect, so you should be able to fairly easily change that out for an SSD. But on that note, let's open up this and see what the CPU looks like underneath.
Oh wow, that popped off way more easily than I was expecting it to. That fin stack... I'm excited to clean it out. It is a socketed CPU. Um, so you could change that out. Thermal paste definitely needs to be reapplied, and I actually think that will help the thermals even more.
So, if you just put some fresh thermal paste on there... but that's cool. It's really easy to access all of this stuff. You just need a little bit of a splooger to get in there. And, there's definitely some virginity breaking action, but other than that, like it's not hard to get into.
You can see that there are also screws so you can easily remove the motherboard. This thing is perfectly serviceable, which is pretty cool.
After all of that, I cleaned out the heatsink, the fan re-pasted the CPU put it all back together and we got more than 10 degrees Celsius lower temperatures on the CPU while running Cinebench, which is pretty cool. Unfortunately, it didn't lead to any performance improvement, which is a bit of a shame.
But it shows that there's a headroom in that cooling solution, so let me know if you want me to do a follow-up video where I strap electrodes to its face... slowly increasing the voltage until it loses consciousness and by that, I mean just drop a high-end CPU in there with like an external GPU dock and try and get the most gaming performance possible out of it.
