15 fps..

That would be pretty impressive, actually.

It's a router not a gaming PC. 15fps is still pretty impressive. And if it gets that in GTA, it can probably run Doom no problem.

bus_factor ,

It can probably even run Half-Life no problem. It was based on a mish-mash of the Quake 1 and 2 engines with some extensions.

15 fps is actually really impressive

LemmyTryThisOut ,

I'm not saying it isn't impressive. it is. but is it worth it?

unionagainstdhmo OP ,

Not as a gaming device but for the novelty of doing something on a device that wasn't designed to do said something and the attached learning experience 1000%

I'm not somewhere where I can watch a video, how does a router have a display at all? Is it streaming to a web page?

This router in particular had a socketed wifi card - like in laptops which is pci-e, they used an adapter to connect a graphics card to this (a Radeon HD thing (old)). If you can't watch the video the creator did an article on it as well which I've linked in the post body

Did not know GTA Vice City was a benchmark. I take it Doom was too easy and Crysis killed it?

"Where on the scale between Doom and Crysis does this lie?"

"GTA Vice City."

Thank you, I appreciate that

I wanna retrofit a 4090 to my OG Xbox. Any chance, that's happening?

Etienne_Dahu ,

Yes, you just need to open your case, remove everything, drill a few holes and put a PC in it.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was done before.

The og xbox is a pc.

abcd ,

Can confirm. Had the OG XBOX (Still somewhere in a Box). I installed a modchip and Linux. That beast could practically run anything like a PC. I upgraded the HDD to about 200GB back then. You could just throw in a game and make a backup on your HDD. The Controllers were basically USB Controllers with a different connector. Good times. IMHO the OG XBOX was the pinnacle of moddable consoles. Everything started to decline when the consoles began to be online 24/7 and games started to be unplayable out of the box without TBs of updates… Oh, also you actually owned your disc back then.

I still use my hacked original Xbox as my media server. Having to use FTP is annoying, but it still works great. It runs XBMC (before it became Kodi).

Not with any pci-e expansion sockets. I'm not even sure it could address a proper pci-e GPU.

db2 ,

... uhh... that would be because pcie wasn't a thing yet...

FunkPhenomenon ,

is this the "doom on a toaster" of the current era?

I think this is a fruit of the labour that was done by some guy reverse engineering gta vc. It got shut down by rockstar, but the source was public, so it lives on.

fin ,

it runs linux

Most of them do, I think the main achievement is getting the eGPU set up
