Aoostar GEM 12 + Oculink EGPU Full complete review Gaming Mini PC

Hi, i am reviewing the GEM 12 Mini PC which is a gaming Mini PC which is offering an Oculink Port to boost its gaming performance via an Oculink eGPU.
In this review i am going through a complete benchmark (Test) of the main component of this Mini PC such as the CPU, GPU, SSD and also through gaming test.
Down below you would find the specification of the tested Mini PC and all the links that could be helpful if you are willing to get the same setting as the one tested in the video.

- CPU :8845HS 8C/16T up to 5.1 Ghz Clock Speed
- IGPU 780M

Yeah, i've got an RTX 4080 Gigabyte WindForce V2 and i've got the same FPS with my Desktop with an 7900X, i am surprised that you have such good performance with an eGPU, i may order a Mini PC to low my electricity bill. Good review

Hi, thank you for the review, as someone who's on a split between having a laptop(movement to different places from time to time), building a pc (planning to play AAA games with no compromise), or best of both worlds: a minipc, this review is really helpful.

My only worries on the oculink setup is the latency, and the performance penalty coming from the inherent limitations of the oculink cable,

cheers, greetings from the Philippines

Youre testing Cyberpunk with 4080 Super ON DESERT? Entering the city would destroy this framereate

Thanks for the review.
How long can the PSU be on the OcuP4, or does it mount over the 24p connector?

Hello, same setup here (7900 Gre for graphic car). Impossible to detect the graphic car with the ocup4v2 EGPU. Oculink works great with GDP G1 v2. I have the green led start when I launch the GEM12. Si I think it's a good think. But nothing detected in windows (and the graphic card doesn't move).

Any idea ?

Somthing to change in the bios (trying disable igpu not working)?

thanks

This feels like an AI review, also come on man cropping out the Afterburner screen on 4080 setup side by side
