Just came across this gem. The creator also did a write-up if you wanted to replicate it yourself: https://kittenlabs.de/real-gaming-router/

15 fps..

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.

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@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 0 points 8 months ago

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?

[–] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 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 the creator did an article on it as well which I've linked in the post body

That would be pretty impressive, actually.
