I purchased one of these NUCs to run retro video games in a HyperSpin arcade cabinet and it handles everything I’ve thrown at it like a champ.My only gripes comes from Windows 10 insistence on resource-hogging maintenance programs that can’t seem to be disabled (no matter how many times I jump into the settings and disable auto-updates and Windows Defender). When you’re squeezing every last bit if performance out of a machine, you can’t have patch downloads or virus scanning taking 100% of your hard disk.The fans definitely make some noise (even when idling) but it never reaches GeForce 5900 Ultra levels of absurdity (see: a PS4 Pro, under heavy load, times 2).Games like Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Fall Guys, and Giana Sister: Twisted Fate (on Steam) run fine at medium-high settings (720p). I haven’t tried running shooters (which require flawless performance) due to this NUC powering a retro arcade machine, so I can’t give any feedback on that.The video card in this machine definitely pushes it ahead of other microITX PCs here on Amazon. I’m awaiting the release of a “NUC-killer” from Minisforum in October 2020 to see how it stacks up against this machine to see which will remain in my arcade cabinet.In the meantime, you can’t go wrong with this tiny powerhouse.
