As with the Powerbox Mini , the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/hu\/product\/acepc-powerbox-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/hu\/product\/acepc-powerbox-pro\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ACEPC Powerbox Pro<\/a> model is not a gaming mini PC, but they can both handle similar levels of games. You are looking at the lower demanding games or older games range. With those you can run at 4K with decent graphics settings. But once you try higher demanding games you will need to lower the resolution and graphics settings.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Oceanhorn-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Oceanhorn-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Oceanhorn 2\" class=\"wp-image-160194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Oceanhorn-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Oceanhorn-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Oceanhorn-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Oceanhorn-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Oceanhorn-2-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Oceanhorn-2-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Oceanhorn-2-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Oceanhorn-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Oceanhorn 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>To compare, in our Street Fighter 6 benchmarks we got just under 30 FPS across the three tests at 720P on the lowest graphics settings. And with Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 720P on the lowest graphics we got 33 frames per second. The Mini model does perform a little faster with its GPU performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emulation Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as emulation performance for our ACEPC Powerbox Pro review. For emulation we overall see good performance. Running your classic consoles and computer will be no problem. You can safely run PS1 and Dreamcast, even upscaling the rendering for improved visuals. For PS2, you can run Gran Turismo 2 just fine at 60FPS for the most part. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-PS1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-PS1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"PS1 emulation with increased rendering resolution\" class=\"wp-image-160212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-PS1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-PS1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-PS1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-PS1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-PS1-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-PS1-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-PS1-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-PS1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PS1 emulation with increased rendering resolution<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>However on OutRun you will be getting around the 50-60 FPS area. And for PS3 you will see shader caching on Tekken 6, smoothing out to around 60 FPS afterwards. Though on Wipeout you will see initial performance around the 30-40 FPS area and increasing as shaders are cached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We sum up our ACEPC Powerbox Pro review with our thoughts on the mini Intel desktop. The <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/hu\/product\/acepc-powerbox-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/hu\/product\/acepc-powerbox-pro\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Powerbox Pro<\/a>&nbsp;model is your more traditional looking mini PC with a flat form factor and subtle colours. It is best suited for the office environment with the design, but also the relatively quiet fan noise even when under high workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Wipeout-on-PS3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Wipeout-on-PS3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Wipeout on PS3\" class=\"wp-image-160230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Wipeout-on-PS3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Wipeout-on-PS3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Wipeout-on-PS3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Wipeout-on-PS3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Wipeout-on-PS3-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Wipeout-on-PS3-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Wipeout-on-PS3-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ACEPC-Powerbox-Pro-Review-Wipeout-on-PS3.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wipeout on PS3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>While the Powerbox Mini did outperform in all of the tests, read our full ACEPC Powerbox Mini review here, keep in mind this was at its high performance settings which resulted in higher fan noises and heat generation. It also has a lot of RGB lighting which may not be suitable for the office environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If quiet and unobtrusive, while still remaining powerful enough for your daily workload, is what you are looking for in a mini PC, then the <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/hu\/product\/acepc-powerbox-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/hu\/product\/acepc-powerbox-pro\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ACEPC Powerbox Pro<\/a> is definitely the right choice. You can also enjoy your 4K video content as a mini PC for streaming, as well as light gaming and emulation with the added benefit of an internal 2.5\u201d storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn more about both models and order yours today from droix.co.uk and droix.net. We currently have a sale running for the next week or two, and you can grab yours for a great price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/hu\/product\/acepc-powerbox-pro\/\" style=\"background-color:#9fb526\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BUY ACEPC POWERBOX PRO HERE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading our ACEPC Powerbox Pro review.
