    The folks over at ASRock RACK have created a graphics card that fits in an M.2 socket - it’s a lot smaller than an Nvidia RTX 3080 - but can it run games?

    Honestly, I think this thing would be pretty useful for headless servers if you just need a barebones display output for a command line in case SSH breaks.
    I have a homelab setup myself and my server machine has 1050 Ti in it for Jellyfin transcoding, but if I didn’t need hardware accelerated transcoding, I could easily see using something like this for a basic CLI output just-in-case.

    I remember when my old GPU had 8MB of VRAM. That was enough for games back in the 90's.
    Half Life 1, Neverwinter Nights, Dungeon Siege. Those were the days.

      Even this is actually much better, because the difference of any gen of DDR speeds are anyway smaller than any of GDDR, so your would be really faster

      Nowadays 8MB of on-chip texture cache is low end for a modern GPU.

      I was having a 8MB “shared” SiS IGP from 1999 till late 2005.
      Imagine even old AF GTA 2 being able to run smoothly (25fps?) only at 800x600 but not at native 1024x768 resolution …Struggle was real😵‍💫😢😓

    Kinda wish you looked into more retro games for this like the classic Doom games, The Sims 2 and the original Deus Ex. Honestly I can imagine it running 90's and early 00's games decently well enough - especially with how rare and expensive retro hardware can be nowadays, it seems like a good if funky alternative to get a very cheap retro gaming PC up and running.
