Gigabyte BRIX Gaming UHD Mini-PC Review

So far, all the games I have tested indicate that the BRIX Gaming UHD is simply not capable of gaming at the 4K resolution when image quality settings are at high levels.

However, on this page I want to explore what it would take to game successfully at 4K using the BRIX UHD. To do that, I tested Tomb Raider (2013) and Grid Autosport – neither of which are hugely demanding games. I also dropped the image quality settings down to ‘low' in both games. Here are the results:

Tomb Raider (2013)

Grid Autosport

As you can see, the BRIX UHD is perfectly capable of running at 4K. The GTX 950 is just not powerful enough to run the latest AAA games with high image quality settings at 3840×2160. If you play less demanding games such as Overwatch, CS:GO or Rocket League, then it may well do the job.

However, as far as we are concerned, 4K gaming at decent image settings is out of the question for recent, and demanding, titles – as our testing of GTA V and Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor has shown.
