[Passionategeekz Evaluation Room]RTX5060 Ti Mecha Style High-Precision Desktop, Asus Tianxuan 6X Review

Asus Tianxuan 6X is a small-sized desktop computer with a measurement parameter of: 15.55 x 29.64 x 34.70 cm, a volume of about 16.5L, and a 24-inch display can highlight its compactness.

The appearance of Asus Tianxuan 6X is basically the same as the previous generation. It is still Tianxuan’s family design, with the black and gray background color + sky blue main color that is quite technological.

The high-profile gray X logo on the front, a large grille, and a bright nickel-plated Asus Tianxuan logo decoration. The mecha-style shell is very sci-fi. The RGB light hidden deep in the depths is softly mapped on the front IO interface and TX GAMING logo, giving people a very high-energy feeling.

The Tianxuan 6X is equipped with a USB-C + two USB-A data transmission interfaces on the front, both of which are USB3.2 Gen1 specifications with a maximum speed of 5Gbps. In addition, there is a 3.5mm headset jack, which facilitates users to connect professional monitoring or gaming headsets externally.

The Asus Tianxuan 6X adopts a side-transparent design, and the interior is also equipped with an RGB ambient light panel for the first time, which can achieve Aura lighting effects synchronization in the Asus Ultron Center.

The words TX GAMING STATION and other words at the bottom are hollowed out, which can increase the air inlet volume and accelerate the heat dissipation of the graphics card and power supply at the bottom.

The power button on the top of the chassis comes with RGB backlight, and the irregular beveled design echoes the overall design of the body.

The I/O interface on the back of the Asus Tianxuan 6X body includes 1 HDMI 1.4, 1 DP 1.4, 4 USB-A 2.0, 1 2.5G network port, and 1 audio jack. The graphics card has 1 HDMI 2.1, 3 DP 1.4, and finally there is a more practical security keyhole on the chassis. There are many rear I/O interfaces, but high-spec USB-C is lacking. In addition, the metallic primary color of the power supply part is relatively inconsistent, so it would look good if there is a black filter or painted.

2. Disassembly and baking machine

Open the side cover of Asus Tianxuan 6X, the internal wiring is relatively regular, and the motherboard, graphics card, CPU cooling, SSD and other components are all painted in black, which is highly integrated.

Although this host is equipped with Intel’s mobile standard pressure processor, the heat generation is less than that of the desktop processor. However, Asus has spent a lot of effort on the CPU heat dissipation treatment. It uses a tower CPU radiator, and three heat pipes directly guide the heat to the fins at the rear, and then a large 90mm fan directly blows the heat out of the outside of the chassis.

PassionategeekzThe CPU was tested for 15 minutes of FPU single baking test. At the beginning of the test, the power consumption of the i7-13620H mobile standard voltage processor with TDP 115W soared to 113W, and the temperature reached 100°C at an extremely fast speed. Then the fan speed was fully turned on, and the CPU temperature began to drop. After four minutes, the CPU core temperature was controlled around 90°C. At this time, the CPU power consumption was about 100W, the P core frequency was 4.4GHz, and the E core frequency was 3.5GHz, and the host was running quieter.

In terms of graphics cards, the maximum power consumption of a single card of RTX 5060 Ti used by Tianxuan 6X is 180W, and the Asus DUAL GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB dual fans are enough to meet the cooling needs. Passionategeekz used FurMark to bake this RTX 5060 Ti for 15 minutes, and it always maintains a full-blood operation of 180W. The core frequency is 2422MHz, the core temperature is 77°C, and the graphics memory temperature is 72°C, and the performance release is very comprehensive.

Subsequently, Passionategeekz conducted a dual-bake test on Tianxuan 6X with a processor and graphics card, and the overall power consumption can reach 100W + 180W = 280W. Whether it is a CPU or graphics card, the temperature and main frequency are not much different from single-bake. It seems that Tianxuan 6X is small in size, thanks to the low heating generation of the mobile processor and excellent tower heat dissipation, the performance of the whole machine is still relatively sufficient.

The memory of Tianxuan 6X is hidden under the black Mala piece. It supports double-striped SODIMM DDR5 5200MTS memory specifications, and is equipped with Samsung 16GB DDR5 5600MTS single memory. Passionategeekz used AIDA 64 to test the read and write performance of this memory. Its sequential reading is 40000MB/s+, sequential writing is 36000MB/s+, the copy is close to 37000MB/s+, and the delay is 97.5ns, which meets the performance of a single 5200MTS.

In terms of hard disks, Asus Tianxuan 6X is equipped with 1TB Western Digital SN5000S solid-state drive. Passionategeekz used CystalDiskMark for testing, and its sequential writes reached 6200MB/s+ and sequential writes reached 5200MB/s+, which is in line with expectations. In addition, Asus Tianxuan 6X also reserves one M.2 and two SATA interfaces for expanding storage space.

3. Theoretical performance

The i7-13620H mobile processor equipped with Asus Tianxuan 6X, 10 cores and 16 threads, 6 P cores + 4 E cores, single P cores up to high turbo frequency 4.9GHz, 24MB intelligent cache, supports deep learning. Next is the theoretical performance test, the first is CPU-Z, i7-13620H. In this test, it scored 776.6 points in a single core score and 7186.2 points in a multi-core score.

In the CineBench R20’s running score, the i7-13620H scored 662 points in a single core and a multi-core score of 6270 points.

In the running score of CineBench R23, the single-core score of this i7-13620H is 1729 points and the multi-core score is 16275 points. Judging from the score, the i7 13620H processor equipped with the Asus Tianxuan 6X can easily deal with daily office tasks.

Then there is the performance of the 3D Mark CPU Profile project, the single-thread score of i7-13620H is 983 points and the maximum thread score is 8107 points.

In terms of graphics performance, the RTX 5060 Ti’s 3D Mark Time Spy graphics card scores 15686.

The 3D Mark Time Spy Extreme graphics card score is 7287, which is basically the same as other dual-fan RTX 5060 Tis tested by Passionategeekz.

In the Port Royal test project that reflects ray tracing performance, the RTX 5060 Ti equipped with Tianxuan 6X received 9903 points, which meets the expected level.

4. Game performance

The mecha wind e-sports design is combined with the RTX 5060 Ti graphics card that supports DLSS 4. The Asus Tianxuan 6X console is obviously a game console. We first selected six mainstream games, “CS2”, “Tomb Raider: Shadow”, “Forza Horizon 5”, “Far Cry 6”, “Cyberpunk 2077”, and “Black Myth: Goku” for testing.

1 、《 cs2》

First of all, the online competitive game “CS2”, which runs the Creative Workshop test map CS2 FPS BenchMark at 1080P resolution + high picture quality. Asus Tianxuan 6X got an average game frame number of 287.2 frames, and 1% Low frame is 135.5 frames.

We then switched the resolution to 2K, and the Asus Tianxuan 6X got an average game frame count of 233.4 frames, and 1% Low frame is 89.5 frames. As an FPS game, CS2 tests CPU performance, so compared with the RTX 5060 Ti evaluation we used to use desktop CPUs in a horizontal way, the results may be a bit of a disadvantage, but the actual game performance is still very smooth.

2. “Tomb Raider: Shadow”

The second game is the classic action-adventure game “Tomb Raider: Shadow”. It runs its own benchmark test at 1080P + the highest image quality settings, and its average game frame rate is 167 FPS.

After increasing the resolution to 2K, run the built-in benchmark test, and the average game frame rate is 139 FPS.

3. “Forza: Horizon 5”

The performance optimization of the racing game “Forza: Horizon 5” is relatively excellent, but the pressure on video memory is still quite large. Fortunately, the RTX 5060 Ti equipped with Asus Tianxuan 6X is a 16GB video memory version, which will not be as easy as the 8GB version. After actual measurement, under 1080P resolution + extreme image quality, the average number of games is 137 frames and 1% Low frame is 90 frames.

We then increased the resolution to 2K, with the average game frame count of 121 frames and 1% Low frame 87 frames at extreme image quality.

4. “Far Cry 6”

In “Far Cry 6”, we ran the included performance benchmark tests with the highest image quality of 1080P and 2K respectively. Its average frame rate at 1080P is 90FPS and 1% Low frame is 61FPS.

At 2K resolution, it still has an average frame rate of 87FPS and a 1% Low frame of 59FPS. The difference between the 1080P and the 2K resolution is not big.

5. “Cyberpunk 2077”

Compared with the previous games, “Cyberpunk: 2077” puts significantly more pressure on graphics cards. Under 2K Super Ray Trace quality, the frame generation option is not enabled, and the average number of frames in the game is only 54 frames respectively, which is not smooth enough.

However, after turning on multi-frame generation in the game, the number of game frames immediately increased significantly. Select 2x, 3x and 4x multi-frame generation in turn, DLSS selects the quality file, and the average game frames are increased to 90 frames, 125 frames and 156 frames respectively. It has to be said that DLSS 4 plays a crucial role in improving the game experience.

6. “Black Myth: Wukong”

The last game is “Black Myth: Wukong”, which just supports DLSS 4. If DLSS is not enabled, the average frame rate is exactly 60 FPS when chasing high with 1080P + film and television quality + panoramic rays.

If you run the built-in benchmark test with 2K + film and television quality + panoramic ray chasing settings, it will only have 45 FPS, and the gaming experience is obviously not smooth enough.

Then we turned on the super sampling clarity of DLSS 4 X2 + 50, and the frame rate directly reached 89 FPS with the unchanged other settings, and the picture was very silky.

We adjusted DLSS 4 to X3 to run basic tests, with an average frame rate of 125 FPS.

Finally, we adjusted DLSS 4 to X4 to run basic tests, with the average frame rate reaching 156 FPS and the lowest frame rate is 139 FPS. With the support of the RTX 5060 Ti, even hosts using mobile CPUs can still play 3A masterpieces in 2K.

V. Productivity performance

Relying on the excellent performance of the RTX5060 Ti and the low heat generation and low noise of the mobile processor, the Asus Tianxuan 6X is also suitable for office use, so this time we also tested the productivity performance. First of all, PCMark’s modern office test. The Asus Tianxuan 6X’s running score is 7173. Thanks to its excellent GPU performance, its digital content creation score exceeds 14,000+, which is enough to be competent for moderate photo editing, video editing and other tasks.

In the CrossMark office test, the Asus Tianxuan 6X had a total score of 1764 points, and the creative score was also excellent.

It scored 229,000 points in the Office Suite Office Test for Procyon, and the combination of i7-13620H + RTX 5060 Ti is too easy for Office Office.

Then came Procyon’s photo editing benchmark test, which mainly examined the image processing performance of the two software PhotoShop and Lightroom. The Asus Tianxuan 6X finally won 6744 points, which performed well in both image modification and batch processing.

Procyon’s video editing test mainly examines the editing performance of Premiere Pro. We turned on the GPU acceleration and scored 39,176 points. This is mainly attributed to the new encoder of the RTX 50 series graphics card, which not only improves the efficiency of encoding and decoding, but also expands the types of supported formats.

In terms of AI performance, we used Procyon’s text generation benchmark. This test mainly includes four major language models: Phi-3.5, Mistral 7B, Llama 3.1 and Llama 2. Asus Tianxuan 6X equipped with RTX 5060 Ti scored 2943, 2853, 2506 and 2600 points respectively. Among them, the average generation speed of Phi-3.5 with a smaller parameter amount reached 115.38 tokens/s, and the average generation speed of Llama 2 with a larger parameter amount also reached 40.38 tokens/s.

6. Summary

Asus Tianxuan 6X 16.5L has a compact mecha body, and the built-in mobile standard pressure processor + RTX 50 series graphics card is easy to deal with office, gaming and creative tasks. The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB graphics card, combined with DLSS technology, mainstream 3A masterpieces such as Black Monkey can also run at high frames at 2K resolution. If you want stronger CPU performance, the Asus Tianxuan 6X series also has a Core Ultra 7 desktop processor version. In addition, the Asus Tianxuan 6X USB-C interface has a low specification and a small number, and I hope it can be upgraded in subsequent versions.

The price of i7-13620H + RTX 5060 Ti Asus Tianxuan 6X after national reimbursement is 6959 yuan. For mainstream players who pursue smooth gaming experience and users who have certain office and creative needs, it is a product worth considering.
