Yep something like that. I haven't really tried with Steam, just the Xbox, and while it isn't perfect like playing natively, with casual games it's not a problem. Meanwhile my brief uses of xCloud has been pretty terrible and I have decent wireless setup too. But this would definitely be how I...

Maybe a device that takes advantage of some video encoding/decoding, not quite a dumb screen then, but the latency you get with cloud gaming over the internet would be severely reduced, the base unit could setup its own ad-hoc network connection so you wouldn't even need an internet connection...

That is an even better idea, then it's just a dumb screen and controllers and not much else. Battery life would be much better and you could make it much lighter too.

What about a setup like a Wii U. You have a dedicated smallish device (like maybe a NUC or something) that can have a large battery and even remain in a backpack or something if travelling, you then have a very light weight device that is basically a screen, controls and basic media player that...

IME I have found the Xe graphics (specifically the 96EU unit in the i7) outperforms the Vega iGPU in the AMD APUs, when running at the same wattage. The reason you'll see most benchmarks scoring the AMD higher is because the benchmarks are taken from a desktop system running at 65W+ and most...

Thank you, I'll do some shopping and probably order a couple of them.

Do you have a source for the new DP extension? I also have a G2 and would like to reroute my bottom face DP ports to the back of my case. Thanks.

I thought it was meant to be done 10/30/21?

Hopefully that gets added to the website.

Can you please indicate where that information is available on the website for the M2426, it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, just that it comes with 2 connectors that support PS_On and 5VSB, it doesn't specify if there is any difference between them or if one is merely a duplicate of the...

What's the issue with leaving the PCIe power plug powered all the time. I've built multiple systems with either the EPS or GPU connected to a constant 12V source and no issues. If the system isn't actively on neither the CPU or GPU will actually pull any power even if there is 12V present on...

I wont hold my breath.

I think the project might have been canceled. It was initially meant to release over the summer, its been pushed back numerous times. Last semi official statement was that it was meant to be end of August/beginning of September. I ordered 2 (one direct from Taobao - the site states they actually...

There really is no need for better cooling, it will maintain its max all core boost clock indefinitely under an all core load (CB r20) and is still about 20-30C off from thermal throttling. Maybe the backplate good be tidied up a little, but I feel the current mesh one does a good job of...

I think it will be quite a few years before mainstream TV and movies go past 4K HDR, the majority of most broadcast TV is still 1080P. Besides even if you have the CPU power to handle 8K (or whatever the future holds) you would still need outputs that can handle that transmission meaning an...
