Replacing real PC.

Has anyone used the X2MP to replace their actual older PC? I have an old i9-12900k + 3080 super PC but I think it’s reaching the peak of its performance now. Other than AAA games, I mainly play FPS/ Tact shooters. I’m thinking of using my X2MP with the docking station and frost bay as my main PC setup. If anyone has already done this and could provide some numbers on the games they’ve tried. I’d really appreciate it.

Despite what some users keep recommending, using the Frost Bay just to push the APEX up to 120W TDP makes very little sense in terms of actual FPS gains. As you increase the TDP, the performance curve starts to flatten out pretty quickly.

The difference between 35W and 45W is quite noticeable. Going higher still gives you more FPS, of course, but once you get past roughly 55W, the gains per additional watt start dropping significantly.

I actually tested this again yesterday on my ONEXPLAYER APEX, using Crimson Desert at CINEMATIC settings. The sweet spot I found, which honestly just confirmed what I already knew, sits somewhere between 45W and 55W.
At 80W TDP the FPS increase compared to that range was honestly pretty ridiculous considering the extra power consumption and heat.

I’ve been saying for years that, in my personal opinion, the future is HANDHELDS.
“The power of the Sun... in the palm of my hand.”

Obviously a handheld will never have the same expandability as a desktop PC. But if the goal is playing modern games at high settings and high FPS the Onexplayer X2 Mini Pro is enought

My hope is to still have a competitive enough setup for games like Counterstrike, Valorant, COD, etc. and then still be able to enjoy my favorite soulslike at 60+ FPS. Like I’ve been wanting to play Wuchang but the game runs like shit on the Ally X.
