Waiting for when it can run PS5 games I found had fallen off the back of a truck.
Nice.
I just bought one of those used ASRock BC-250 crypto mining boards to use a a DIY SteamMachine, and apparently they're basically the same hardware that's in a PS5. Probably going to run either SteamOS or Bazzite on it.
You have any benchmark stats for those boards? Really curious to see how that APU stacks up against other various budget gaming setups.
I ordered it and a power supply for it yesterday so don't have it on hand yet.
I read about it here: https://www.techeblog.com/budget-steam-machine-asrock-bc-250-ps5-apu/
And there's a video on that page where the guy has stats overlay up as he goes through various games. The FPS even on modern games is pretty respectable. I don't have any kind of gaming system or modern console (X360 is the newest gaming system I own) so as long as I can play what's in my Steam library I'm content.
If it can run Linux, it can probably play Xbox games in the browser via GamePass Ultimate ($23/month, but if OP is true, it means Xbox games on PlayStation. Which isn’t nothing).
