Considering buying a mini PC to exclusively run Steam (need some advice)
Agreed, however, that Minisforum MS-S1 Max is about the most powerful (and expensive) miniPC you can get, and it's not really that small. It's more like a small PC, not a MiniPC. The iGPU in it is the 8060S, which is equivalent to a 7600XT. That's a last-gen mid-range GPU. It's not considered a 4K c

Has anyone tried setting up eGPU with halo strix through OCuLink?
It may be ignorance on my part, but with my Minisforum MS-S1 max 128GB, which I believe i the same thing as Strixhalo, I found that I cannot really use CUDA productively with my RTX5070ti 16GB on eGPU and USB4.

How does the new nvidia dgx spark compare to Minisforum MS-S1 MAX ?
DGX spark has 6144 CUDA cores. RTX 4070 has 7,168 CUDA cores. “The Minisforum MS-S1 MAX's integrated Radeon 8060S graphics are comparable in performance to a mobile RTX 4070 laptop GPU. “.

Can I use the MS-S1 Max as a Steam Machine alternative?
Very much yes, and you can put a small GPU in it. Also check their refurbs, they have some on sale, and this link is to "pre-order" them as they come in: https://refurbished.minisforum.com/collections/pre-order. Edit: Any of the MS or BD line would be more powerful, esp with a graphics card. The MS-
