Minisforum AtomMan G1 Pro Gets RX 9060 XT 16GB at 140W
Minisforum has upgraded its AtomMan G1 Pro gaming PC, swapping the previous GeForce RTX 5060 8GB for the more powerful Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB. This change effectively doubles the VRAM and potentially enhances gaming performance while keeping the compact system’s size unchanged.
Key Features of the AtomMan G1 Pro-89A6
- Processor: Ryzen 9 8945HX
- GPU: Radeon RX 9060 XT at up to 140W
- VRAM: 16GB GDDR6
- Power Supply: 350W internal
- Memory: Supports up to 96GB DDR5-5200
- Storage: Two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, 4TB each
- Networking: 5GbE, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4
Performance Expectations
While the RX 9060 XT is rated at 160W, the G1 Pro limits it to 140W. This raises questions about performance capabilities compared to the RTX 5060, which is rated at 145W. Reports suggest the RX 9060 XT may offer approximately 10% better performance in rasterized gaming scenarios.
Gaming Capabilities
Both GPUs are optimized for 1080p and 1440p gaming. However, the RX 9060 XT excels in traditional rasterized games, whereas the RTX 5060 leverages NVIDIA’s features, like DLSS, for enhanced performance, especially in ray-traced games.
Pricing and Availability
The AtomMan G1 Pro-89A6 (RX 9060 XT) is priced at $1,759 in the US, with shipping set for late October. The RTX 5060 configuration is available for $1,719, a small price difference that may influence buyers.
Conclusion
The AtomMan G1 Pro with RX 9060 XT presents a compelling option for gamers seeking a compact yet powerful system with ample VRAM and performance capabilities. However, its limited power may affect how much of the RX 9060 XT’s potential can be realized.
