I already have a full n gaming PC, but I also played a bit over the last month and built a Steam Machine for under $400 using an AMD BC-250 crypto mining card. From bc-250.info: A cut-down PlayStation 5 APU with 6 Zen 2 cores and 24 RDNA2 compute units, sharing 16GB of fast GDDR6 memory.
It takes some tweaking and it’s not top of the line, but it’s a fun project that can play most games. There is also a script that can let you unlock disabled compute units to increase performance assuming they are not damaged.
Is this immutable like it has been? I’m wondering if the BC250 tweaks need some work before they work properly if so.
