The Mysterious Case of the Cybertruck PC: A Deep Dive into its DIY Construction and Gaming Performance

As I stood there, watching the little cybertruck PC come to life, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at its surprisingly rudimentary construction. The creators of this miniature marvel had managed to pack in a powerful 100-watt external power brick, which would serve as the sole means of powering our little Burba cybertruck's gaming performance. Despite not having a dedicated graphics card, I was eager to see how it would fare against more demanding games.

As we fired up the system and began playing Counter Strike at 1080p low settings, I was delighted to see that the frame rate was well over 100 frames per second. The CPU, which I assumed was an AMD APU of some sort, seemed to be handling the demands of the game with ease, leaving me impressed by its performance. However, I couldn't shake off the feeling that this was not entirely unexpected - after all, when I last interacted with a gaming system powered by an APU, I had only managed to scrape together a paltry 10 frames per second.

As we continued to play and experiment with different settings, it became clear that the true test of our little cybertruck PC's mettle lay not in its ability to handle demanding games at high resolutions, but rather in its capacity to maintain consistent performance over time. And on this front, I was pleased to report that our system showed no signs of slowing down - even as we pushed it to its limits and cranked up the graphics fidelity to Performance mode.

However, I couldn't help but notice a peculiar side effect - temperatures had risen to alarming levels, and the Cybertruck's speakers were producing a noise that could only be described as "substantial". It seemed that the truck's designers had forgotten one crucial aspect of airflow when it came to building this miniature marvel. Undeterred, I pressed on, determined to see how our little cybertruck PC would perform in other games.

First up was Doom at 1080p medium settings - and here, I was pleased to report that we lost a significant amount of frame rate compared to Counter Strike, but still managed to maintain a playable experience. The frame time graph told the tale of a system working hard to keep pace with our demands, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in its performance.

Next up was Fortnite at 1080p low settings - and here, I was somewhat underwhelmed by the results. While it was still playable, I found that the frame rate was nowhere near as smooth as I had hoped, and the game's performance felt...off. It wasn't until we switched to The Last of Us, and enabled Fidelity FX on Balanced mode, that our system truly came into its own.

Here, in the post-apocalyptic world of Joel and Ellie, our little cybertruck PC proved itself to be a worthy contender - the frame rate was higher than ever before, and the visuals were crisp and clear. It was as if the system had finally found its footing, and was now capable of delivering a truly enjoyable gaming experience.

As I stood there, watching The Last of Us unfold on our little cybertruck PC, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in this miniature marvel - it may not have been the most powerful or well-equipped system in the world, but it had proven itself to be a worthy gaming machine, capable of delivering performance that would put many larger systems to shame. And as for its place in the world of gaming - I couldn't help but wonder what the future held for this strange and wondrous creation.

At the end of the day, our little cybertruck PC was a testament to the power of DIY construction and creative problem-solving. By pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible with a miniature PC, we had created something truly remarkable - not just a device that could deliver impressive gaming performance, but an experience that would leave us all in awe of what can be achieved when one has the passion and determination to see it through.

And so, as I shut down our little cybertruck PC and said goodbye to its diminutive frame, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement for the future. For this tiny marvel may have been just that - small in size, but large in scope - and I had no doubt that it would go on to inspire countless others to build their own miniature masterpieces, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and exploring new frontiers in the world of DIY gaming.

The End

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enin today's video I learn how to master truck foreplay. 'I think that's how you turn it on?'break some plastic. ' oh it broke.' and get confused by a flap, 'what is, what is this for what does  this do but first today's video is sponsored by the new Corsair RX 1220 IQ link series of fans  they're the new strip down entry into the IQ link ecosystem with its very convenient single  cable management and fan daisy chaining which makes PC Building A S the starter pack even  comes with the little IQ link brain but funnily enough my favorite part about these new fans is  their new fans screw which may sound stupid but look at how easily that screws down it's  like two rotations it's amazing so check out the Corsair RX 1220s using the link down belownow of course it was only a matter of time before somebody built something like this I mean  I'm surprised it took this long I still haven't figured out how the io works on it there's bits  of PC poking out the bottom but I don't know where you plug stuff into it but I'll figure  that out eventually the wheels turn look at that it drives around and not only that but they've  got suspension so that the whoa these wheels are so dodgy attached look at that wobble but anyway  when you drop this bad boy down and you kind of I think that's how you turn it on I think that's the  power button is you just kind of Boop it on its nose and it turns on no way the problem is though  when it's on your desk like this the back wheels are free so when you oh although it does break a  little bit when you when you press the power button so yeah I don't know maybe it's not a  problem it kind of sticks in place I'm curious to see if the doors open I think they do they kind of  look like they do and why would they tape them down if they didn't oh that's some strong tape  oh you can open the doors that's exciting and then presumably you can kind of cut  your finger off with it oh no it's actually it's surprisingly safe that's very unrealistic of it  oh the frunk even opens it's got lights I think when you power it up it is going to light up on  the front so excited to see that I don't think you can close the back but I guess it means you  permanently have storage in the back of it for all of your memos about crypto scams and misogyny or  whatever it is that cyber truck owners need to store there is a USB port over here but that's a  really terrible location for a USB port because the thing needs to only be that long and that's  only an option if you're me so I don't know how that's going to work does the io work I'm kind  of hoping it's you kind of open the back oh oh is that the lid that but this little latch seems to  have broken my monkey brain cuz I just couldn't figure out what it was for what is what is this  for what does this do this also looks like it opens oh oh the back just breaks off that is  very realistic it's exactly like a real cyber truck the moment that you put any pressure on  the back it just rips off and totals the truck that's a very nice authentic touch right there  and then its IO just hides in its butt and its butt IO is very usable although you'd probably  still need at least a dongle the one thing that I'm concerned about though is I don't know what  this is for maybe it's just there to hide cables and stuff oh it's not very sturdy if your desk isskew now in terms of specs this little cyber truck's kind of packing the company that makes  it sent over the most well-endowed spec which has a ryzen 7 8845 HS in it a pretty high-end laptop  CPU now unfortunately we don't get a dedicated graphics card but the ryzen 7 has a little  vestigal my GPU which as far as I understand it is surprisingly capable but before we torture  this little Cod piece with some real demanding video games let's strap it down in my oet and tear  it apart so we can see how it's constructed and for our own sick enjoyment whichever comes first  tearing it down is immediately exciting cuz I think our cyber truck has an upgrade glory hole onit going to pop that off and then there's a huge piece of thermal pad for some reason this lid is  plastic so it's not going to really conduct thermals very well but still we've got access  to our SSD without having to break down a bunch of stuff so that's a really nice touch ooh Some gen 3  nvme action now I think going any deeper is going to be a bit of a mission because we have to get  the whole bottom off and the build quality feels real Tesla so I hope I don't break it   oh wow that separates out real easy and it's not separating out in the way I was expecting  it's just the whole bottom of the car coming out here's the little PCB that connects all of the  lights and power button and stuff up uh which uses a ribbon cable to connect to the PC in in the kind  of center of it and there are a couple of pcbs that extend out like this with a single LED on  it which is presumably for the tail lights then this is just the shell of our cyber truck next I  think we have to remove the seat plastic bit which has a real made by metel feeling to it oh  there we go wa the PC is actually attached to the bottom oh there's a ribbon cable holding this all  together now kind of lift that off and then oh no I think the ribbon ca's actually glued  down yeah okay I'm going to remove this PCB so I can get to the the ribbon cable connector open  that up so there they go and then oh we have our little PC W that looks so much like they  just found a laptop motherboard in a parts bin and then glued it to some plastic chairs there  are even a bunch of connectors on the side which you can't plug in because it's blocked by the  side of the car these down here kind of look like they're ribbon cables for like displays keyboards  and other stuff that normally comes on a laptop but having said that it's a pretty nice looking  laptop motherboard we've got decent cooling we've got dual Channel RAM on our cyber truck PC that's  awesome and we've got upgradeable storage and stuff so you know they could have found a much  worse laptop motherboard in a parts spin now the back wheels are extremely basic we just  have like an axle running between the two wheels and it's just held in place by a bit of plastic  wa this front wheel is so janky it feels like it's just going to come off uh but but in terms of its  suspension you've got this little plastic pin that moves up and down with the spring and then  oh I don't is it supposed to move up and down oh it broke wait how did it break I barely touched  it yeah so this side is an example of how it's supposed to work so you got the the little Peg  that comes through the body with the spring but where's the power button oh that's how it works  okay that is the power button that you have there next to the the front USB 2 Port that faces down  into the body and when the suspension pushes up this bar pushes and hits the button okay I see how  that works now cool okay so with the mysteries of the surprisingly rudimentary construction of the  little cybertruck PC unveiled let's fire it up now in order to power our little Burba cyber truck it  uses quite a beefy 100 watt external power brick which means despite it not having a dedicated  graphics card it should be able to game reasonably I think its igpu is pretty powerful it  does the lights are happening now in terms of the clap because this system is basically DIY we don't  get any it's just a clean windows install and what's also promising for our gaming performance  is that our Apu is fed by 32 gigs of ddr5 running in dual channel so lots of memory and bandwidth to  go around round look at that at 1080p low settings Counter Strike was a little bit  stuttery there but we're getting over 100 frames per second wow this is so much better than I was  expecting I mean I guess it's because the last time I interacted with an APU kind of gaming  situation I was getting 10 frames per second here so I don't think me being impressed by it means  much now temperatures are quite giggy at the moment which mixed with the pretty substantial  noise coming from the Cyber Tru is a bit weird to me considering how much cooling is inside the  Cyber Tru so apparently trucks drawn my children aren't great vessels for airflow who would have  known now moving over to Doom maternal at 1080p medium settings we lose a decent amount of frame  rate and gain some temperature for our effort but it's a very playable experience which again  compared to what I've been experiencing recently is an impressive change fortnite can happen on  this system very good at 1080p low cyberpunk isn't really doing what I was expecting it to do look at  that frame time graph we've got a seven on the rter scale happening there that's not great I  mean I'd say that it's borderline playable oh here is a truck in cyberpunk and it looks more like a  rivan if anything oh here's a second one now I was really excited to play dystopian Future video game  on dystopian present pickup truck but it's not going great even even with quality FSR on here  I mean I'd say it's playable but it it really doesn't feel very good even cranking Fidelity  FX up to Performance didn't fix the crazy frame pacing we had going on here so I decided to try  a different demanding game to see if the issue is also present there now with the last of us  we don't have the earthquake happening in our frame time graph which is good it it feels a  little bit better but I mean the frame rate's not as high as it was with cyberpunk here at 1080p  though I think I forgot to say that uh so it still doesn't feel great but turning Fidelity  effect on balanced made it a lot more playable just like that we've got pretty good visuals still  and we've gained enough frame rate for the game to feel good like this is definitely a playable  experience that we're getting from a cyber truck Mini PC so I think that's pretty impressive yeah  I guess when you use one of these AMD apus in a Mini PC one of the like higher end ones you're  going to get a good gaming EXP experience out of it for the hardware regardless of if it's  in a cyber truck or some kind of marital Aid so at the end of the day this gateway drug to cybertruck  ownership is a thing that exists and if you have money you can buy one that's about as much as  I have to say about it so uh yeah thank you for watching and until the next video bye-bye
