Minisforum 895D7 mini PC delivers high-end gaming performance with a low-profile Radeon RX 9060 XT

The Minisforum 895D7 mini PC, measuring just 8.7 liters, integrates an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX processor with 16 cores and 32 threads alongside a low-profile Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU. This compact system supports up to 96GB of DDR5 5200 MT/s RAM and features two M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 slots, allowing for up to 8TB of total storage. The unit is powered by a 400W power supply, which is sufficient to maintain a sustained 100W TDP for the CPU and a 140W TDP for the GPU under load. Thermal management is handled by a specialized cooling system featuring foam funnels that direct fresh air to the components, preventing hot air recirculation within the chassis. In testing, the system achieved a Geekbench 7 multi-core score of 15,389 and a 3DMark Time Spy score of 14,501. Gaming benchmarks at 1440p on ultra settings without FSR showed playable frame rates, including 49 FPS in Black Myth: Wukong, 84 FPS in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and 68 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077. The system runs Windows 11 out of the box but is presented as a strong candidate for SteamOS.

Worth noting

  • This video is sponsored by VIP-URCDKey.
  • The gaming benchmarks for 4K resolution were estimated based on scaling curves rather than direct measurement.
  • The reviewer notes that the 100W TDP for the CPU may not be sustained indefinitely, though it was observed during testing.
