Hey Linus, I think the color banding issue might be that the DACs on the card aren't able to produce the appropriate voltage levels for the analog color signals on VGA spec.
time to put this on a Pi 5
@@texastanklol pi pico. It needs it
this thing is actually kinda interesting, its used to add a VGA output to a system with a more recent GPU that doesn't have one. really, really specific

"That is multiple frames, every second."
SPF was a common speed measuring method in the 90's, whilst playing 3D games without accelerators.

I started laughing so hard man when Linus said that.
When they say "gaming machines" i think they refer more to actual gaming machines like slots, poker etc...
That makes sense because some casino machines have screens so that would be a small cheap gpu to run casino machine graphics that can run on half a potato
Would make sense.
@@thestonedbee662 Only some ? Here in sweden there is no slot machine or virtual poker machine that doesn't have an LCD screen. These machines are in every pizzeria/restaurant and other places.
Maybe asrock could hardcode a chess game on the card... or make it fun the more cou you have the smarter the chess
@@SemtexWarrior Wait, what?! Sweden exists?
It's a great VGA card. I bet it'll run WING COMMANDER II just fine in 256-colors in full 640x480 resolution. Sure as hell beats any EGA or Hercules card. I wonder if they have DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.0 drivers for it.
Was thinking this might actually be good for playing classic games on a small x86 SBC like a LattePanda or Rock Pi X. But those Intel Atom SoCs already have built in Intel UHD GPUs that are probably far more capable than M.2 GPUs like this
And in terms of performance per dollar, this very much isn't worth it.

You jest, but this might just be the best external graphics card currently available for the Raspberry Pi...

Oh fancy seeing this comment here. I hope you get one to test with a Rasberry Pi soon!
Next thing we know Linus will be gaming on a Pi
External graphics card? Yes, but I'd guess that the VideoCore is probably actually better.
Beat me to it
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.
"Just like I'd die if I didn't tell you about our sponsor" Why was that so funny?
"gaming machine" might be a reference to casino-style games, the kind you find in seedy bars. Those things run industrial-style potato PCs at potato resolution where a "GPU" like this could suffice.
This is exactly what I thought as well. It also explains the internal header and the drivers being referenced as “samp”le.
Yeah But you will still Need an nvme Slot for it and i dont think those potato Style PCs have that.
@@getriebesand2195 they deffo do, they run modern low power cpus, with custom made boards that could totally have m.2
The m.2 interface has been around for a while, and Konami has been known to use low-end Dell office PCs in their newer arcade games, so that's most likely what's in their gambling ones, too.
Being that it's ASRack it's more for the server end where you just need enough GPU to see the desktop and interact with the system.
AsRock: Creates this product Schools and Libraries: I’ll take your whole stock
No, they need to use 15 year old pentium igpus. Even slower.
school computers don't have m.2 slots
To be honest, its not that dumb of an idea.
Since when do schools have high-tech stuff like m.2?
Welp, my uni's library bought some packing packages - 9700F with freaking 2070 Super. Idk why they went so overkill
I hope the thing is actually doing anything and not just redirecting to the CPU...
Amazingly enough I just built a home server from scratch and I wish I had one of these, it would have massively opened up my CPU selection.
"Gaming Machines" probably means for slot machines or gambling machines
or NES emus + DOS games.
Maybe for a homemade arcade machines, like the one's with Raspberry Pi's?
@@gotai8 Well, then I think Raspberry is more simple way to go. You can emulate almost everything on it using RetroPie (retroarch).

It's a bit old but if you want to cover obscure and odd hardware... The Subway USB Controller for the Amiga1200. It's a USB 1.1 and 2.0 controller for the Commodore Amiga 1200. It plugs into the system's clock port. That is it plugs into a port meant to be used for a battery backed real time clock.
So you're telling me I can stick this in the unused M.2 port in my mini-ITX build, mount a mini vga display in the front of the case, and write my own custom 2d interface for system monitoring (load, temps, watts, clock freq, etc.)? That would actually be a fun project, even though its totally impractical.
Fun impractical project? Sounds like a great idea!

I thought those digital slot machines have switched over to ARM. I mean, it will save power for the casino.
@@groundzero_-lm4md most likely. Even a Raspberry Pi Zero level of performance should be enough for those (and GPU wise would probably exceed this thing)
This may actually have a good purpose. This can probably help with making a computer post when it doesn’t have an integrated GPU installed in the CPU. Most CPU’s without graphics need some sort of graphics driver for it to run, and this is no exception. This could help somebody with no GPU but intent to get one soon and when they upgrade, or get scammed on Ebay or something, they still have a graphics drivers unit in their PC.
This is essentially one of those USB 3.0 VGA adapters turned into a M.2 card. All it's meant to do is give you a video output. Nothing more. Really good for diagnosing problems or to have a headless machine that would otherwise complain about no GPU being present or something, but not much else really. I'm guessing this is meant to be the spiritual successor to the ATI Rage embedded 8MB GPUs found on server mobos of old, or the even weirder XGI Volari Z7 16MB embedded GPUs found on slightly newer server boards (about the 1st to 4th core i series generations or thereabouts, or rather their Xeon equivalents)
"a whopping 16MB of DDR... 1" Love it.
my first computer had more shared memory reserved for the onboard S3 graphics chip and that chip was leagues ahead of this thing

Always has been
A possible use case for this when it comes to the gaming part is when you make a VM machine. Imagine if you have only 1 GPU like a RTX 3080 and you want to pass that into a gaming VM then this could be used for that short time you spend inside the host OS just to turn on your VMs. Would save alot of money rather than having to buy a second GPU if you dont have any onboard graphics.

I think an ideal use for it is adding video output to embedded devices, maybe for servicing or recovery purposes rather than everyday use. When it mentions gaming systems they could mean things like arcade machines where the primary interface is physical lights and buttons rather than video-based, where this could then be used for management purposes or running reports. Another idea - adding a secondary display to an existing system for digital signage or advertising purposes, such as the screens you get on grocery store self checkouts Disappointed that it's not slot-powered though!
The idea may work with multiple cards and have some sort of SLI system. Maybe combine it with an APU. Offloading minor calculations could also be a possibility
CPU: You know I'm something of a GPU myself 😏

"Gaming Machines" likely refers to Pokie/Slot machines.
I imagine the use-case for these is more for workstations that don't have IPMI so they have a VGA output for a KVM switch. Especially workstations that would just have compute GPUs installed with no display outputs.
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.

@@alex01763 Interesting, how can it be done?
I feel better about my Integrated Graphics.

I want to see somebody create a pcie 16x adapter card to hold a bunch of these. Have them behave as a single unit combining their clock speeds and memory, possibly have a couple m.2 slots optimized for running an ssd at breakneck speeds to act as the main memory for the "graphics card" while the on-chip ddr1 acts a cache. This would take some clever engineering and programming, would probably be a largely useless card, but it would still be cool.
This might be useful for people who are trying to run a home NAS with spare computers. A lot of consumer grade motherboards don't allow you to boot without a graphics card. It happened to me when I was trying to build a Chia (XCH) farm with a spare AMD Ryzen 5 3500X. All my PCIe slots were occupied with SATA adapters, and computer wouldn't boot. (Ended up using a mining riser to run a GT710 😅)
This one is exclusively for servers, and its a lifesaver as almost none of those server processors have onboard graphics.
amd should ship these with the threadrippers
@@bobuccman1424 right
except most server motherboards have something like this on the board already, as that is needed for the ipmi to work.
The question is... if your server's integrated gpu died and you were trying to troubleshoot the issue... would you even be able to access the ipmi with this device? Or, what about a case where the server was purchased second hand and can't be accessed without a video output because it has not been configured yet? While this would save an otherwise dead server in theory, I wonder if it would actually work for that case. I imagine this is why windows sees the device with so many varied configuration options that are not accurately represented in menus. @@rysterstech
@@rysterstechand alot of workstation board dont and this is perfect for homelab conversion. Im defo getting this one to replace a 1030 i bought just to sit there for boot.
when the manufacturer said gaming machine, maybe it's an arcade gaming machine
I run similar tiny graphic card in an industrial micro PC board that drive a cutter machine, for menu control, setup and to load recipes no problem, of course not optimized for video framing or game superduper resolution graphics, Yes there are other uses for PC's to drive industrial machinery.

Don't forget that the tree it came from sprouted from the guts of an eel!
where'd he get the coconut?

@@techallday8168 don't do this its annoying people will never sub to you like this and even though they sub they won't watch your videos.
@@techallday8168 yeah don't do this
I kinda want one in a standard PCIe x1 Add-In Card form factor. If it is cheap, it is a great and easy troubleshooting video output. Great for when you failed to flash your VBIOS or other Video Card related issues.
There are M2 card adapters for PCIe slots, you can put one into it
@@xpehkto but you would still need the VGA Back Panel Adapter, which makes it a less elegant/usable solution for simple troubleshooting. Things would be flopping around all over the place.
