The Power of Integrated Graphics: A Mini PC Review

Luckily this has 32 gigs of the stuff, the on-board vram has been assigned eight gigs from the BIOS because you can choose here with these settings we're still using over four gigs so I thought that selecting eight was a good idea yeah and we definitely have room to do that considering we have 32 gigs of ddr5 on board very nice still a playable result in my opinion though you could probably benefit from a full tfps cap sort of like a steam deck experience if you will for Red Dead Redemption 2.

I went with 1080p I chose the ultra textures which may have been a mistake but I also selected medium t a a the render resolution here was set to 66 of 1080p basically two-thirds of native resolution this does have FSR but it didn't really make a difference as far as the performance was concerned this is why I decided to choose a static lower render res instead and when doing so we can almost average 60 frames per second you might benefit from turning the textures down to high instead of ultra but to be honest anything less than Ultra in Red Dead tends to look a bit muddy it doesn't look fantastic Ultra seems to be the only way to go and with everything else set to low this still looks like a really nice game I mean graphically it is still quite impressive you might notice in the background there's a little bit of flickering going on in the building some red lights coming through this seems to be a bit of a sort of side effect of the lower render res um it can happen with FSR as well it could just be a driver problem too we're still getting pretty much 60 FPS here though with nothing but the onboard 6 ATM Graphics very nice for Marvel Spider-Man remastered.

Another demanding title once again with the help of FSR set to Performance and the graphics set to the low preset not very low but low um we were able to average at least 60. now of course I said it at the start we are targeting 60 specifically but if you were happy with less say 30 or 40 frames per second to match something like the steam deck then you could turn the graphics up even more and you could run with a closer to Native possibly native resolution anyway it's only that we were targeting 60 specifically just to really push these onboard Graphics to their limit that I chose the settings that I did and I think this is still impressive considering in Spider-Man there will be a few dips and drops here and there below that Target figure but we will average out at 60 FPS.

and if I were to try and test my AMD A4 3300 from back in like 2011 that I used to use it would come nowhere near as close as this it probably wouldn't even start the game so I think that just goes to show how far integrated Graphics have really come even the top end igpus from back in the day like the 3870k was it I think the AMD A8 something like that with its humble graphics could only dream of numbers like this.

Finally then we have what is possibly uh the title I was dreading even more than Hogwarts Legacy this is cyberpunk. I actually went with performance FSR not Ultra performance here and I chose the medium yeah I went with medium crowd density here but I also went with high textures I definitely think this was sort of pushing it a bit far and I didn't expect to see anywhere near 60 FPS especially with that higher texture setting but as you'll soon see well this was possible now I couldn't really believe what I was seeing here but at least 60 FPS was certainly possible and we actually averaged out at this figure maybe just slightly above the exact figures will be on the screen this is all while still consuming less than 40 watts of power 38 to be precise again those temperatures this unit is quite warm overall the CPU does get quite warm and that's the price you pay I guess for near silent performance moments which is really quite impressive.

The 7735 HS definitely has more to give and it certainly proved itself today in CPU intensive situations but I think the real star of the show The 6 ATM Radeon eye GPU it continues to impress me and I'm sure or I hope it's continued to impress you as well if it has be sure to leave a like leave a dislike if you didn't enjoy this video subscribe to the channel if you haven't done so already let me know what you think of this Mini PC down below.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everyone and welcome to another video now this little machine is the b-link scr6 pro I'd just like to take a moment to appreciate the color of this thing it's not relevant in any way to the video or the performance but it looks really nice and that could be important to some people especially if it's sitting on a desk maybe I'm just too easily pleased I definitely am this mini machine actually has a ryzen 7000 series processor inside more specifically it's the 7735 HS an 8 core 16 thread CPU that uses less than 40 Watts as configured out of the box this processor is going to offer similar performance to that of an 11th or 12th gen desktop Core i5 in multi-threaded situations which is seriously impressive considering this is all squashed inside a little enclosure of course a fast ryzen Apu would be nothing without onboard graphics and this thing is packing the Radeon 680m igp you still currently the fastest integrated solution at the time of this video in the past we've played games using this rdna2 Powerhouse and I've been pretty impressed at the results but in this video I want to go for 60 frames per second see on previous occasions we've settled for much less and although anything higher than 30 is more than acceptable without a discrete graphics card in my opinion anyway I believe that the tech found in the ser-6 Pro 7735hs here should allow for at least 60 FPS on average across a handful of my demanding Games Collection I'm not sure how much we'll have to sacrifice the visuals just yet but this little b-link here should be up to the challenge but let's find out if it is so the first game I decided to try was Forza Horizon 5. I started with 1080p native and then I went with the medium preset I turned off a couple of options mainly SS cell and then I turned the particle effects quality to very low so SSR is off particle effects quality is low and right away I want to say that this thing is really quiet in operation I don't think I've ever used a Mini PC that's a silent even when gaming as this one now of course I do think you pay a little bit of a price because the temperatures are quite High I mean you're going to see upwards of 80 85 degrees this CPU is rated for 95 so I think you're fine as far as that is concerned as I said before the performance is still fantastic and we're using as you might be able to see there 38 Watts I've not really seen it exceed 38 watts of usage which is very impressive let's say 40. it doesn't really exceed that figure so you're getting a lot of performance out of this little machine and while it's gaming you're not even going to hear it if you have headphones on put it that way now the Q epu is the obvious bottleneck here the 7735 HS has more to give so you're probably going to see some pretty low clock speeds from the CPU during this test but all in all and to start with I mean Forza Horizon 5 is offering up at least 60 FPS at 1080p medium this is a native res which is really impressive with no discrete graphics card of course so I think it's a fantastic start for this little b-link machine integrated Graphics have become such a long way over the last decade and sometimes it's mind-blowing to think just how well they perform now for Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 I went with the basic preset which keeps the display resolution at Native FSR is available but I didn't enable it here instead I turned the render res down to 90 so we're going to be running at a constantly sort of sub 1080p resolution rather than having it upscaled now the game doesn't look much worse off for it but this will allow us to hit at least 60 FPS pretty much constantly running at 100 raise will cause a few more little dips and drops here and there but even still it's not going to be a horrible experience as you can see here the CPU is once again being held back somewhat by the integrated Graphics but we're still using less than 40 watts of power and the 680m is pretty much maxing out this is a very impressive igpu indeed I've used it a few times but every time I do it really does surprise me and I can't wait to see what the future holds for integrated Graphics from AMD this of course has 32 gigs of ddr5 as well and the game is installed on an nvme M2 SSD which certainly helps okay so I was dreading this one this is Hogwarts Legacy probably the most demanding of the games tested today not necessarily just because of the the fact it's demanding straight out of the box but because I don't think it's the best optimal title so I've gone with fsr2 ultra performance here if you choose fsr1 you only get performance and fsr2 looks better anyway we're rendering internally at about 360p roughly 34 of 1080p but it has been upscaled and once again we're targeting 60 FPS now I certainly thought this would be too much of a big ask but the game can do it now there will certainly be drops and let me be honest with you the average wasn't exactly 60 but there will be moments when we cross that 60 FPS barrier though all of this culminates in an average that is slightly less once we factor in the dips and drops especially in and around hogsmeade here I mean this can be pretty heavy on all Hardware this game uses a ton of ram luckily this has 32 gigs of the stuff the on-board vram has been assigned eight gigs from the BIOS because you can choose here with these settings we're still using over four gigs so I thought that selecting eight was a good idea yeah and we definitely have room to do that considering we have 32 gigs of ddr5 on board very nice still a playable result in my opinion though you could probably benefit from a full tfps cap sort of like a steam deck experience if you will for Red Dead Redemption 2 I went with 1080p I chose the ultra textures which may have been a mistake but I also selected medium t a a the render resolution here was set to 66 of 1080p basically two-thirds of native resolution this does have FSR but it didn't really make a difference as far as the performance was concerned this is why I decided to choose a static lower render res instead and when doing so we can almost average 60 frames per second you might benefit from turning the textures down to high instead of ultra but to be honest anything less than Ultra in Red Dead tends to look a bit muddy it doesn't look fantastic Ultra seems to be the only way to go and with everything else set to low this still looks like a really nice game I mean graphically it is still quite impressive you might notice in the background there's a little bit of flickering going on in the building some red lights coming through this seems to be a bit of a sort of side effect of the lower render res um it can happen with FSR as well it could just be a driver problem too we're still getting pretty much 60 FPS here though with nothing but the onboard 6 ATM Graphics very nice for Marvel Spider-Man remastered another demanding title once again with the help of FSR set to Performance and the graphics set to the low preset not very low but low um we were able to average at least 60. now of course I said it at the start we are targeting 60 specifically but if you were happy with less say 30 or 40 frames per second to match something like the

which is really quite impressive again we're using over four gigs almost five gigs of vram so setting the vram limit in the Bios to eight gigabytes it's definitely the best bet or just setting it to Auto will be fine too the 7735 HS definitely has more to give and it certainly proved itself today in CPU intensive situations but I think the real star of the show The 6 ATM Radeon eye GPU it

haven't done so already let me know what you think of this Mini PC down below thank you to b-link for sending it over as always for us to look at today and hopefully I'll see all of you in the next onehello everyone and welcome to another video now this little machine is the b-link scr6 pro I'd just like to take a moment to appreciate the color of this thing it's not relevant in any way to the video or the performance but it looks really nice and that could be important to some people especially if it's sitting on a desk maybe I'm just too easily pleased I definitely am this mini machine actually has a ryzen 7000 series processor inside more specifically it's the 7735 HS an 8 core 16 thread CPU that uses less than 40 Watts as configured out of the box this processor is going to offer similar performance to that of an 11th or 12th gen desktop Core i5 in multi-threaded situations which is seriously impressive considering this is all squashed inside a little enclosure of course a fast ryzen Apu would be nothing without onboard graphics and this thing is packing the Radeon 680m igp you still currently the fastest integrated solution at the time of this video in the past we've played games using this rdna2 Powerhouse and I've been pretty impressed at the results but in this video I want to go for 60 frames per second see on previous occasions we've settled for much less and although anything higher than 30 is more than acceptable without a discrete graphics card in my opinion anyway I believe that the tech found in the ser-6 Pro 7735hs here should allow for at least 60 FPS on average across a handful of my demanding Games Collection I'm not sure how much we'll have to sacrifice the visuals just yet but this little b-link here should be up to the challenge but let's
