Gaming Benchmarks

The gaming credentials of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 are quite impressive. It is a bonafide high-end desktop GPU in the NVIDIA Pascal series (GP204). The version in the MAGNUS EK71080, unlike the one in the EN1080, is a discrete card connected to the mainboard using a PCIe 3.0 x16 riser. The GPU should easily be able to support 4K gaming and meet the requirements for VR headsets.

For the purpose of benchmarking, we chose four different games (Sleeping Dogs, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite and DiRT Showdown) at three different quality levels. Note that the main aim here is not to show that the GTX 1080 can play the latest and greatest games (which it can do). Rather, it is to compare the ZBOX MAGNUS EK71080 against other gaming-focused mini-PCs that we have evaluated before..

The general trend we see across all the results is that the systems equipped with the higher TDP (65W) CPUs have the edge over the EK71080. That said, the results do not give us any cause for concern over the gaming capabilities of the system (particularly when compared to what consumers have come to expect in the ZBOX MAGNUS E-series PCs).

    You have to keep Zotac's in a place where the air flows freely or they live a hot, short life.

    I really want a ZBOX with one of AMD's new Zen APUs. I think they demonstrated one 6 months ago or something but it isn't available yet. Yes, here it is, ZBOX MA551 with a 2200G or 2400G - https://www.anandtech.com/show/12319/zotac-display...
