passthrough is alive and well on my system thank you very much.

You don’t know what’s your best interest.

I did consider getting that new NUC with Vega, but performance was a bit lower than I had hoped.

what being stuck with a single expansion slot and nowhere to go?

Yes the motherboard already has everything you need.
USB slots and all that good stuff.

Yes, but a 45W Nvidia part would have been way better.

nvidia doesnt make cpus that people care about

But I need that sweet taste of PCIe goodness. there isn’t enough usb to satisfy my craze with dongles.

The GPU, a 15W CPU is enough for most people.

you can also easily argue that the CPU+GPU combo is enough for most people

Not for gaming.

Vega was a disappointment and Navi is 2H 2019.

I’ll just enjoy my Playstation for now, the only computer I have is an old laptop with a Penryn pentium, it’s just on NAS duty though.

Maybe to you. i thought vega was good. scales really well at the lower end

Full Vega sure, small Vega (22/2400g, Intel Nuc… Though nuc is only half Vega; but still) are quite good. Except the for the nightmarish at times drivers that is lol…

The price is pretty hefty though, just to get that super small form factor.
Impressive performance but you’d be needing a small box really badly to justify the price.

I would say that the nuc is more of a experiment intel decided to sell
