Can "mini computer " play games? Measured MV200mini pc game performance

The MV200 mini pc is a new product launched by the mini computer brand "EGSMTPC" recently. The official positioning is high-performance office mini computers. However, if the positioning is based on the performance classification, I think the MV200 belongs to the mid tier positioning among the many models launched by EGSMTPC, and the price when it was launched was 999 $. The processor of the MV200 mini PC is the Intel i9-9900K

So, the topic of this article is "Can the MV200 mini PC play games?"? Because when unpacking the MV200 mini PC and other models of EGSMTPC before, some partners always asked if they could play games. Is it only for office use? Well, let's not say much. Let's get to the topic and see how the MV200 mini PC performs when playing games.

Quick display of appearance

The exterior and interior design of the MV200 mini PC will not be discussed. The only thing worth mentioning is the heat dissipation. The front, left and right sides of the MV200 mini PC body are equipped with metal hollow mesh specially designed for heat dissipation. The internal heat dissipation system is composed of a powerful fan, heat conducting tubes and heat sinks. The measured heat dissipation effect is good. After comprehensive use in the afternoon (about 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.), the body also slightly heats up, and the fan noise is very low, The keystroke can even cover the fan noise.

Second, I think there are many interfaces. In addition to the DC power interface, the MV200 mini pc has a total of 16 interfaces. I usually connect more peripherals, including two mobile hard disks, one USB flash disk, and one keyboard and mouse 2.4G transmitter. Sometimes I connect the handle to play games. The MV200 mini pc can fully meet my needs for connecting peripherals.

In addition, I think the size of the MV200 mini PC also conforms to the positioning of "mini computer host". I believe you can see from the size comparison between the above figure and mobile phones and mobile SSDs, and the body weight has also been measured personally, which is about 1000g.

Actual game performance of MV200 mini pc

The installation process of the MV200 mini pc is also very simple. It can be used after the power is turned on, the keyboard and mouse are connected, the display or projector and other display devices are connected, and the official factory also comes with a back hanging bracket. To further save desktop space, you can choose to hang it on the back of the display for use. I think most small partners should also start with mini computer hosts such as the MV200 mini pc to save desktop space and facilitate installation.

At the beginning of the article, I mentioned that the processor of the MV200 mini PC is i9-9900ks, and the graphics card is also RTX1050ti, with 16GB of memory and 512GB of solid state disk. Through the performance test, the total score of the MV200 mini PC is 1 million points. Among the mini computer at the same price, the MV200 mini PC belongs to the "top" type.

Officially, the reading speed of the solid state disk of the MV200 mini PC is about 2350MB/s, while the writing speed is 1800MB/s. I also conducted a simple test on this point. It can be seen that the test results are not much different from the official ones, and the high-speed read/write speed also ensures that the MV200 mini PC has no jam when using and can achieve the experience of "fast boot and software start in seconds".

Let's take a look at the performance of some popular online games on the MV200 mini PC. When playing PUBG, the FPS of the MV200 mini PC in the town map is about 50-70. After entering LOL, the FPS will be between 170-180 when you release more animation skills, and the overall performance is OK

When I evaluated the mini computer host and PC game console, the over watch was an online game that was mentioned many times by most kids. I also tested it with the MV200 mini PC. When the 1920 * 1080 resolution was turned on, the FPS of the MV200 mini PC was about 100. If you continue to improve the image quality, like pulling to level 8, the FPS will be reduced to about 57.

From the beginning of Genshin Impact, it can be seen that the FPS performance of the MV200 Mini PC is somewhat reduced. It can only be achieved by lowering the resolution or image quality. It is not as good as playing online games, but for a unique mini computer host, I think it is excellent to have such game performance.

It is not difficult to draw a conclusion from the above simple test: if you use a large screen display at home, you can play some popular online games with the MV200 mini PC. Of course, this means that all online games have good performance, or you can play some Steam games that do not require high performance,. If you want to play 3A games on the MV200 mini PC, you can definitely play it, but the FPS frame number is not high, and it is recommended to use a small screen display to play.

More usage scenarios of MV200 mini pc

In addition to daily office work and simple game playing, there are many use scenarios for the MV200 mini PC. Because of its good performance, there is no too much pressure for video editing at ordinary times. I actually measured that 4K video editing is very smooth. Of course, some small partners may use editing software that requires higher performance, or clips videos with higher resolution, so the smooth video editing is mainly from the perspective of ordinary users, not professional users.

In addition, there are mobile office scenarios. At present, I use the MV200 mini PC in this way. Because the company's computer performance is not very good, and there are redundant monitors at home, I use the MV200 mini PC as an office computer, carry it to the company every day, connect it to the company's monitor, and start working directly. When I get off work, I separate the MV200 mini PC from the monitor, When I go home, I can connect to the idle monitor at home and start up at any time to handle the rest of the work. In addition, I personally like to separate public/private data, that is, I will not bring private data into the work computer. Therefore, the MV200 mini PC connects to the idle monitor at home, not the main display.

Finally

"Play games with a mini computer host that is not unique". If you look at it literally, it is really difficult to be strong. However, through some actual measurements, everyone has seen that the MV200 mini pc can be used to play games, but playing 3A games still has a lot of pressure. This article is equivalent to a simple test of the performance of the MV200 mini pc from the side.

On the whole, I think the MV200 mini PC is a mini computer host with moderate price, which can meet the needs of daily office work, simple video editing, and light game entertainment. If you plan to start with products such as mini computer host and need such products as the above, I think you can try the MV200 mini PC.

As for the imperfections of the MV200 mini PC when playing games, I think the MV200 mini PC does not have an external amplifier design, that is, there is no speaker. I think it is better to design a small speaker, or you must connect a wired or Bluetooth speaker when playing games. Of course, you are willing to play games silently.
