I don't know what to do with my hands hey guys this is Austin this tiny computer is packing some serious power so this is the zotac Magnus en 1070 so if you guys remember a couple months ago I did a video on the Alienware alpha r2 now that was a great little console killer PC however it was really aimed at 1080p this is focused on VR and especially 4k gaming so Wenzhou type offered to send us out I couldn't say no so first of all we get wow that's actually a lot of paperwork oh well I almost threw this away I'm like oh a disc who cares however inside there's also a flash drive so this has all of our drivers which are still probably out of date but it's very least we can actually use it those drivers actually might come in handy too since this is a bare-bones system so what that means is it's somewhere in between building something yourself and having a completely pre-built system so it comes with most of what you need in the box however you still get the option of putting in your own SSD your own memory and your own operating system moving on we have the power adapter now it'll be nice to not have to deal with an external power brick because the system is so small I can understand besides not that big so here is the PC itself for something so powerful this is pretty small so for comparison this is what it looks like next to a ps4 as you can see even though it's packing a lot more power it's still a really small computer in really that's one of the big advantages of getting a system like this sure you can build something yourself it's going to be more powerful for the same money however is not going to be easy to build anything anywhere near as powerful in such a tiny package all unit that's actual metal Wow so on top of you got some plastic as well as on the bottom however we have a fair few ports so up front we have an SD card reader USB 3.1 port as well as a 3.1 enabled USB C might be a mouthful however this guy is rockin some ports and around back you have four more USB as well as a pair of HDMI a pair of DisplayPort and a pair of ethernet jacks and since this is a bare-bones system it's also going to be easy to get into so ZOTAC includes a pair of thumb screws on the back then if we push the back off oh yeah super easy so inside is where we're going to install all of our parts so not only do we have to DD our four sodium's slots for memory but you also can use either an m2 as SD slot or you can also use the two and a half inch drive bay which can work with either a hard drive or SSD now what you can't is easily upgrade or any of the core internals such as the CPU or GPU as you can imagine with something like this they didn't exactly just cram normal gtx 1070 inside however there's a big warranty void sticker right here so i want to think twice about that so for this system I'm installing a samsung 950 pro now if this was going to be my main system I would probably also take advantage of the two and a half inch drive so something like a really fast nvme SSD paired with maybe like a 2 terabyte hard drive would really kind of be the best of both worlds for RIM we have 16 gigabytes of Crucial ddr4 memory now one thing you need to keep in mind is that these are so dense so unlike normal desktop Ram this is going to be a lot smaller which considering this is a small gaming PC that make sense so as far as getting this operational that's pretty much all you have to do the last step is to install your operating system I'm going to be using Windows 10 and we're good to go inside the zotac we've got a core i5 6400 t the gtx 1070 and with specs like this while the cpu is a little bit on the weaker side it still is quad core which means that now i should be able to play some 4k games but it's also v already so the first game we're going to be trying is Middle Earth shadow of Mordor now this might be a couple years old however especially a 4k this thing is no joke yeah so intense so intense so we're playing shadow Mordor on 4k on high settings now for something that's this small nice for something this small it's not bad we actually could crank the settings up just a little bit however we're getting a pretty solid frame right here without even needing to deal with uh-hah that's so good next we have the witcher 3 now this is a game that absolutely holds up graphics wise I would be surprised if we can actually run this maxed out at 4k so here with medium settings at 4k things are pretty playable it's still not perfect so we're getting upper 30s in the framerate however this is not an easy game to run at all next we have battlefield 1 and this actually isn't a game that I've been able to test you some curious how it performs I just came looks so good so for now we're playing on 4k medium and immediately it's looks so nice there's really something to be said like I know that some people talk about 4k is not worth it and depending on like what you're really doing it might not be but if you actually had like a proper TV it makes a big difference well not in your gameplay it makes a difference to you know how pretty the game looks Kyle actually kind of terrible so yes the zotac is expensive I love a link in the description if you guys want to check it out however considering just how much power you're getting in such a small package it's actually not that bad so what do you guys think about the system definitely be sure to let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
