Just came across this gem. The creator also did a write-up if you wanted to replicate it yourself: kittenlabs.de/real-gaming-router/
Did not know GTA Vice City was a benchmark. I take it Doom was too easy and Crysis killed it?

We have a full scale now.
“Where on the scale between Doom and Crysis does this lie?”
“GTA Vice City.”

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

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.

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

15 fps…

It’s a router not a gaming PC.

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

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

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?
unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
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 they did an article on it as well which I’ve linked in the post body

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.
