That is some acrobatic gatekeeping of a GPU that is similar to the PS5 in terms of performance.

Yeah no, you will not be gaming any modern 3D game on that. A game console also cant be compared to a desktop machine like this properly in terms of software optimization.

So its just a standard rasterization gpu with some extra AI label slapped on it then? Because then buying this is even dumber than i thought. Might aswell just buy a standard gpu for half the money with double the performance.

Mate, I can't see the goalposts anymore you've moved them so far.

I admit i didnt even look at the specs of that thing, because i have trained myself to see anything with an AI label on it as worthless scams. So yeah i guess you can game on it, but its the worst value gaming device i have ever seen. So advising people against buying it is still the right thing to do.

I wouldn't advise gamers to buy one in general, but there's absolutely a market for them. See https://rog.asus.com/desktops/mini-pc/rog-nuc/ and the broader SFFPC subculture for evidence of that.

Does Baldur's Gate III count as a "modern 3D game" to you? Because that runs at perfectly acceptable frame rates on my Lenovo Legion Go, whose Z1 Extreme is definitely less powerful than this.

The top model should be far more powerful than a PS5.
