With HDMI plugged into the eGPU, it's like exclusively using it, and with HDMI plugged into the mini PC, it's like using a laptop with a dGPU.

The MINISFORUM UM790 Pro is a compact desktop computer powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS “ Phoenix” processor featuring 8 Zen 4 CPU cores and Radeon 780M integrated graphics based on RDNA 3 architecture. The UM790 Pro adopts an innovative thermal system with liquid metal and active cooling for memory and SSD. That file has been known to not always remove when the AMD pro driver is removed and it will need to be removed. Additionally, because of current issues with the drivers, you will also need to add newer firmware than what is current available in Linux Mint.If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. MINISFORUM UM790 Pro distinguishes itself from its competitors primarily due to its robust AMD Ryzen™ 9 7940HS processor, known for being the powerhouse of the 7040 series. I was wondering if it would help replace my main desktop PC , drive 4 monitors and reduce idle power consumption as for my main remote job I’m just working reviewing documents all day. Please contact the manufacturer of the eGPU docking station to learn more about the compatibility of the device. We didn't note any performance losses as we did with the Minisforum NAD9, and on average, the SoC had a power consumption of 55 watts.

Marketed as a desktop replacement, it delivers exceptional power for its size and will appeal to anyone looking for versatility and performance, so ideal for creators. The Minisforum UM790 Pro makes a strong impression with its compact form factor and impressive performance. The AMD Ryzen™ 9 7940HS processor, paired with the AMD Radeon™ 780M GPU, handles games, images, and video tasks with remarkable ease.

Similarly, the 6900HX holds its ground, aligning with the 12th generation Core i5-12450H, showcasing commendable parity. The integrated graphics should be on par with entry-level discrete GPUs that NVIDIA has sold in recent years. However, compared to before when the HDMI was plugged into the iGPU, the score is still higher overall. Moreover, the 4800H showcased superior performance when compared to the i5-12450H and demonstrated a performance level similar to that of the i5-1240P. Connecting more than one monitor is no issue for the Minisforum Venus Series UM790 Pro, as it has two HDMI ports on the back.
