I just picked up a mini PC featuring a Radeon 780M, primarily for playing indie games. However, I'm a bit concerned about its performance for future titles. Can it hold up over the next few years? And do you have any budget-friendly upgrade suggestions? I'm using a nipogi AM21.

For indie games, you should be good for some time! The 780M might struggle with larger AAA games down the road, but for what you’re playing, it’s suitable right now.
To boost your FPS, consider adding a second RAM stick. It can provide up to 70% more performance in gaming. Also, since you have a second M.2 slot, you might explore adding an external GPU to really up your game.
Check if your mini PC has Oculink or USB4. Having USB4 is a big plus! It could help with additional performance if you decide to upgrade later.
Honestly, the Radeon 780M should be fine for indie titles for a while. Most of those games aren't too demanding, so you shouldn't have major issues.

Yeah, it does have USB4. That's definitely a relief!
