Does It Game?!

Күн бұрын

Hooray, even in today's stupidly priced PC hardware market, filled with $600+ "value" graphics cards, options MIGHT exist for converting an old office clunker into something that's fun! This little Radeon Pro has current drivers, full DX12 support, 4GB of GDDR5, requires NO external power...and can be had, shipped to your door, for $30-40USD; I paid $31 total for this one!
I know, I know, someone's inevitably going to shout at me that I didn't actually test it in an office PC, but that can be done later; I wanted to make sure there was a 0% chance of a CPU bottleneck in the benchmarks. And let's be honest -- if I had used an HP or Dell with an i5-3470, people would just be shouting that I didn't use more powerful hardware to really stress it!
900p used throughout unless otherwise noted, because if you're converting an office clunker from 2014 you may also be using a 1600x900 monitor from 2014. And I wanted to save a surprise for later!

5:20 you TEASE! It worked I'm subbed. For reference, here in the UK ebay lists the Radeon pro WX 3100 are about £55-£65, while Radeon RX 550 (full height and half height) can be had for £40 -£55, so worth checking local listings where ever you are in the world, there may be some market forces at work in the US (large office upgrades maybe) that aren't happening where you are.

You can buy a slightly sketchy Chinese branded RX580 (albeit the 2048SP cut down version) for £45 -£50 which comes in at more competitive than both of those options for a theoretically "new" card, though most are actually refurbs. Even so, it's 8GB of VRAM and a card that's at least as good as the RX570 in benchmarks and in practice. The only downside is that it's not a half-height low profile card, it's a full size card only and needs 8 pin power so you can't shove it in a slimline office PC. You can also buy the Radeon Pro WX7100 for not a great deal more than £70 if you hold out for a good deal.

Oh, yikes! Unless everything else is also insanely expensive, that really changes the value proposition of one of these. I saw some in the UK for the equivalent of about $40USD, but didn't really look beyond that for international pricing.

I did this with an hp prodesk 600 g3 and wx 4100. That is a tight fit in a sff where the pcie x 16 slot is next to the psu but the blower card keeps temps in spec. Used as my media and streaming bedroom pc. Streamed pc games from my main gaming pc. Totally worth the tiny budget.

They still pop up under $40 -- as I type this there are two listings under that, with one of them being 4 available and taking offers -- but you have to lock it in as a saved search and get notifications to really spot them now. I'm not saying it's correlated, but there are ~1200 people a day watching this, and the stock of buy-it-now ones at $29.99 has dropped precipitously in the last four days...

Totally fair! I do it for a reason, though, for what it’s worth. I actually shoot everything in a mix of 4K and 1080p60/75/90, but choose to oversample down to 720p for both digital noise reduction (since it’s averaging pixels) and bandwidth considerations. This channel did start initially with an environmental bent - and focus on upcycling e-waste - and the bandwidth of 720p vs 1080p/4K does have a meaningful impact on electricity consumption. In 2022 internet traffic alone accounted for over 800TWh of global electricity usage, and in light of that I want my content to have as small a footprint as possible while still being in HD, if not FHD. …and my watch analytics show that like 73% of my views are on mobile devices anyway lol

Most people have little reason to ever think about the electricity used, and carbon output with, their video streaming - and even big names like Linus have only casually mentioned it offhand in like WAN Show moments - so I’m definitely in the tiniest of minorities for doing it this way deliberately.

Hmm, this might be a temporary answer for me. Ill see how it compares to uhd 630 graphics. The intended use will be batocera and emulation. Honestly a rx 6400 would be preferred, but my understanding is that with my pcie 3.0 the rx 6400 will lose 14% performance. That feels like a kick in the teeth. Cool video!
