ZOTAC showcases the world's smallest mini PC with desktop RTX 5080 graphics

ZOTAC's new MAGNUS One Ultra (EU275080C), which was also on display with a special 20th anniversary finish at Computex 2026, immediately caught our attention. Not because it was a mini PC smaller than a PlayStation 5 console, but because the compact, sturdy build housed a desktop GeForce RTX 5080.

Yes, while other compact PCs opt for more efficient, smaller desktop GPUs like the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti or laptop variants of enthusiast-class cards, ZOTAC chose one of the most powerful 4K gaming GPUs currently available. As you can see, the GeForce RTX 5080 powering this new MAGNUS One Ultra is one of ZOTAC's impressive Solid models, and when paired with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 20-core, 20-thread processor, it's a formidable combination.

Small, compact mini-PCs built for gaming and local AI workloads are becoming increasingly popular because they take up less physical space and are small enough to slot under a big-screen TV for a more immersive gaming experience. And it was the latter that hit our "we want one" switch, as this is a mini PC that could easily run Resident Evil Requiem and Forza Horizon 6 in 4L at 100+ FPS with full ray tracing and DLSS 4.5 rendering.

The compact 11.46-liter build also supports up to 96GB of DDR5 memory while featuring a single PCIe 5.0 M.2 NVMe SSD slot and a single PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD slot for storage. It's also stacked, port-wise, with eight USB ports and a single Thunderbolt 4 port that supports video. In addition, you've also got three DisplayPort 2.1b and one HDMI port on the GeForce RTX 5080, with an 850W PSU powering this impressive machine.
