Sapphire Edge HD2 Mini PC Review @ Rage3D.com

***Lupine*** · Sep 8, 2011, 01:49 PM

Sapphire's Edge HD2 is the smallest of the small, an ultra compact mini PC boasting FullHD media capabilities. With Intel's Atom D535 and NVIDIA ION 2 graphics it has the paper specs, but does it compare favorably to Sapphire's own Pure Fusion Mini E-350?

I don't buy that ION 2 cannot play back (or stream) full HD content without stutter. I have first gen ION (without dedicated memory and only 16 shaders), weaker dual core Atom, and ddr2 2gb ram, and playback is smooth.

Sounds like driver issues. Still looks like Ion can not compete with Fusion here.
