For less demanding games you should be able to get playable levels of performance. But for games such as OutRun Coast 2 Coast we are getting around 30 FPS and for Gran Turismo it was around 15 FPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-citra\">Citra<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Citra-emulator-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"You will see some shader cache lag in demanding games\" class=\"wp-image-27569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Citra-emulator-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Citra-emulator-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Citra-emulator-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Citra-emulator-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Citra-emulator-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Citra-emulator-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Citra-emulator-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Citra-emulator-1600x900.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You will see some shader cache lag in demanding games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.co.uk\/product\/gmktec-nucbox7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NucBox7<\/a> has mixed success with the Citra emulator. We do see less demanding games running well. However for higher demanding games you will see some slowdown whilst the shader cache is generated on first play. The next time you play through it will be closer to full speed. Overall there is OK performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We sum up our NucBox7 review with our thoughts on the NUC mini PC. The <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.co.uk\/product\/gmktec-nucbox7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NucBox7<\/a> has just enough going for it to warrant updating from the previous model. The extra RAM is a definite bonus that improves the overall performance of Windows and having multiple apps open.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is perfect for your day to day work related tasks in the home and office. It takes next to no space on your desktop or mounted behind your display. It is also very portable, fitting in a jacket pocket or bag,&nbsp; perfect if you are travelling between offices for presentations for example.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Halo-Infinite-game-streaming.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Halo-Infinite-game-streaming-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Halo Infinite on Xbox Cloud Gaming\" class=\"wp-image-27574\" style=\"width:768px;height:432px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Halo-Infinite-game-streaming-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Halo-Infinite-game-streaming-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Halo-Infinite-game-streaming-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Halo-Infinite-game-streaming-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Halo-Infinite-game-streaming-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Halo-Infinite-game-streaming-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Halo-Infinite-game-streaming-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/GMKTec-NucBox7-review-Halo-Infinite-game-streaming-1600x900.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Halo Infinite on Xbox Cloud Gaming<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>While you would never be able to play AAA games natively, it is perfect as a game streaming device. And for emulation it is also very good, you can play up to PS1 and Dreamcast era with no issues, and have fairly good performance with some newer gaming systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall the <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.co.uk\/product\/gmktec-nucbox7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GMKTec Nucbox7<\/a> is excellent value for money with the best performance in the budget mini PC range.
