Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel 13th Generation Core i5 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Graphics Type: Dedicated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)

A great little gaming PC!
Enabled me to access my 3 year old Rf 9.5s simulator after the company shut it down and required me to go thru Steam Platform to access the program which steam required me to have a full blown Graphics card! Very happy to have my Simulator back!

Great for 1080p/1440p Gaming & Everyday Tasks
TLDR: Plenty of power, but held back by lack of VRAM CONNECTIONS USB-A 2.0 x 4 USB-C 3.2 x 1 USB-A 3.2 x 2 3.5mm Headphone x 1 DisplayPort x 1 - Integrated Graphics HDMI 1.4 x 1 - Integrated Graphics DisplayPort 2.1 x 3 - nVidia Graphics HDMI 2.1 x 1 - nVidia Graphics SPECS 8C / 12T (4P & 4E) 16GB DDR5 5200MT SO-DIMM x 1 1TB Gen 4 nVME SSD nVidia RTX 5060 Graphics w/ 8GB GDDR7 INITIAL THOUGHTS The T500 continues Asus' trend of placing low power laptop-grade processors into full sized PC cases. This computer is no different. This is basically a laptop, in a desktop case, with a desktop video card. I'm not sure how I feel about this new trend. In some ways it makes total sense, in some ways, it seems like a complete mismatch. It makes sense in that when you are not using the PC to game, it is an energy efficient, power sipping machine. The processor runs cool and quiet. There is so much room and airflow in the desktop-sized case that the processor fan runs minimally and when it does, it is nearly silent. However, this is also the Achilles heel of the T500. Because it has an energy efficient processor, it lacks the raw compute power that a full-on desktop processor can provide. There are less P-cores to draw on and even then, those P-cores are often throttled for energy efficiency by default. USE I have posted Passmark scores of all the major components inside the PC (CPU, RAM, SSD). The T500 hits mid-pack, at best, with performance. The processor scores on the low side of the spectrum, the RAM towards the top, being the latest DDR5, and the SSD scores right in line with any decent Gen 4 nVME drive. For day-to-day tasks, there isn't much to complain about with the T500. Like I stated above, the overall performance of the computer is great for daily workloads. Most importantly, it is extremely quiet. When I first started using the PC, I was almost certain there was an issue. The CPU fan did not turn on. Surely, there had to be an issue. After several hours, I had yet to see the fan spin up. Nope. No issues. As soon as I loaded up the Passmark tests the fan finally spun up to cool down the processor. Wow! Even under the heavy load of benchmarking the CPU fan was inaudible. This PC is much quieter than a comparable laptop. This goes with the laws of physics. It just has more room to breathe. GAMING Bottom line - Don't expect anything more than 1440p, at best. During testing, builders and buyers don't want a significantly mismatched system. If a computer has a low GPU utilization and high CPU utilization during gaming, it is considered to be CPU bound. Vice versa and it is considered to be GPU bound. This system is VRAM bound. This isn't necessarily a fault with Asus, it is a fundamental flaw with almost all 50-series nVidia GPU's. There isn't enough VRAM to take full advantage of the GPU or the latest and greatest graphics eye candy. Forza, Doom Dark Ages, Flight Simulator 2024, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Call of Duty, they are all held back by the limited amount of VRAM. Anything past 1440p with medium settings crush the available RAM and send FPS numbers plummeting. I was able to achieve the following framerates: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 / 1080p / High - 64fps Forza Motorsport 1920 x 1200 / High - 60fps Forza Motorsport 4k / Medium - 4fps Doom Dark Ages / 1440p / Medium - 60fps Doom Dark Ages / 1080p / High - 138fps Doom Dark Ages / 4k / Medium - 9fps Indiana Jones and the Great Circle / 1440p / Medium - 62fps Indiana Jones and the Great Circle / 1080p / High - 78fps Call of Duty / 1440p / High - 68fps These numbers were all achieved with DLSS enabled and set to Performance. Hoping (but knowing it wouldn't make any difference) to achieve higher framerates, I quickly swapped in 32GB of 5600MT/s Corsair DDR5 So-DIMM's. Unfortunately, the added system RAM did little to nothing to improve framerates but did give me considerably more overhead to work with multiple apps open and running. FINAL THOUGHTS The T500 makes a great everyday computer. The processor is energy efficient, and the computer barely makes a whisper. The nVidia card has more than enough performance to drive my 4k OLED monitor at 120Hz, just not during gaming. Queue up games though and you will quickly meet the limits of the available VRAM. If you game at 1080p or even 1440p, this PC will fill the bill nicely. But expect to utilize frame generation to get numbers you want to see for framerates. I was able to game at High and/or Ultra settings at 1080p, but that went down considerably at 1440p, with most games happiest at Medium settings. RECOMMENDED
