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."
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.
  
  The og xbox is a pc.
it runs linux
- 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. 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
  
  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?
  
  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.
