Make the Anbernic Win600 Better -- Windows Guide

In this video we are going to improve the Anbernic Win600 performance by installing a clean version of Windows 11 and use some specific tools to find the best balance of battery life, performance, and power.

Note that this guide will work with any of the lower-powered Windows handhelds that will coming onto the market soon.

Note that in the video I set the 3200 RAM module clockspeed to 1800 which would be 3600MHz, so 1600 should be the setting to reach 3200MHz. Regardless, I've just messed with the settings and found that the Win600 won't clock the RAM any higher than 3200MHz anyway, so no matter what you choose (1600 or higher) it will still default to 3200MHz.

I've been obsessing over Win 600 videos as I wait for mine to arrive, and this is definitely the best one out there. Great guide to make the most out of mine, this is gold. Thank you very much!

Classic Retro Game Corps content! Love the tutorials.

Thanks for mentioning my software! I’m constantly updating it, like I just released gpu clock adjustment for amd! Profiles will come next

All these upcoming windows handhelds should have windows 11 and all the other apps you mentioned. They may tweek it to get some other things like battery percentage and color options for the screen like using less colors to save power as if you are playing a 2d indie game you are probably not gonna need all the colors a screen can offer. They can also have the taskbar hidden or have steam big picture in boot. A seperate admin account and a account for epic game store or big picture can give you a console experience. After opening it just 2 taps you are in the steam menu! Or even the epic menu which the deck can't do without changing the os. Steam didn't build steam os to fit handhelds they just attached their name to it. When ever a handheld like this goes live people will ask if it has steam os support not realising how much of a game library they are missing in by not using windows. Even Valve said it's atleast 30% or more and don't forget bad drivers in Linux and many proton twerks not working on intell devices and performance issues in all but a few games. Only witcher 3 seems better on it right now.

Thanks a lot for the video and the tutorial. Looking foward for the Batocera setup guide!

A great video once again! :) thanks for the shoutout and don't apologize for doing what you're doing!

Ah you went with making the Win600 video first, heck yeah!!! 🤗- Stubbs

Thanks so much for the efforts. My win600 is coming tomorrow and I am so excited. I ordered Loki Zero but it won't be in my hands in at least 5 or 6 months. So all these trash talks about the win600 seems ridiculous to me since the competition for this handheld is non-existent in most parts of the world. People say it's $100 more than its worth but I think 6 months of waiting time is worth way more than the $100 I overpaid.

Great tips! I was debating whether to update to windows 11 but I guess it should be fine.

I think a comparison how long the battery life is between devices. It is something that is missing. There are a lot of performance vs price but not much about battery vs price. It is something that is very important for me.
Great videos you do. Keep up the great work.

After doing all these tweaks i can finally play Tunic AND Stray at more than 30fps! Absolutely awesome video dude!

Anbernic used to be the standard, now imo there sub standard. There last couple of handhelds have been overpriced for what they can achieve.

Been using CRU for years for laptop screen overclocking. I have an issue where I can see vertical line flicker on certain 60hz screens, bumping to ~70 makes it go away. You'd be surprised how many are capable of overclocking if they aren't boosted already at the factory. Some 60hz screens can go up to 90hz with no issues.

Is it possible to improve the performance a bit by using Amernime Zone's custom AMD graphics drivers? Especially with older games with Directx 11 and downwards, they should perform better.

[misterkeebler]

The pc side hasn't been too compelling to me from what I've seen, but I'm happy to see this because it gives me a ballpark for Loki Zero and it's not like the dual channel ram on that device is going to propel this to a point where the pc gaming performance interests me. So I can likely ignore both for that use case. I'm still curious about emulation so the Batocera vid will be fun to watch. though.

Tremendo video, no pensé que se ganaría tanto control sobre el TDP con windows 11

[MihaSith]

Just ordered blue version. Thanks for videos like this.

With the way Anbernic is acting lately, I'm better off waiting for the AYN Loki when it comes out.
