I suppose that if video cards ever come down (yeah right) I can buy a proper motherboard, case and PSU and have a real computer. Considering the 5700g will probably run $350, 16G of 3200 RAM $100 and a 256 NVMe drive is $35, I'll wind up throwing away $65 on the proprietary HP stuff. Until then I've got a 5700g to play with minus a discrete video card.

I tried some other RAM but HP, being HP, didn't offer any way to set the XMP for the memory so I bought an identical 16GB stick and the 5700G and now it's a pretty nice system, so far the 5700g is only a little faster (graphics-wise) than the Vega 11 on my 2400g and with a 180W power supply I can't add a video card but on the other hand, there aren't any video cards so I make do with the Vega 8 5000 video.

Also, what overclock are you using?

In this thread: 2x Zen1 cores @ base clock of 2.6 GHz (3.5 GHz turbo) and 192 shader GPU @ 1.2 GHz.
If we multiply it out, that's about 5.8x (or 5.3x turbo) the Core GHz and 4.4x the GPU shader GHz. And if we adjust for IPC improvements between Zen1 and Zen3 (using a figure of 1.46, based on their relative SPECBench2006 clock-normalized scores), it works out to 8.6x (7.7x turbo) of the CPU performance. So, basically as apples-and-oranges as one can get. That you even got 60% of a dual-channel 2400G says a single-channel should be decent for the VCS.
Another point of reference: a Raspberri Pi v4 has only LPDDR4-3200 @ 32-bits (12.8 GB/s). And that's about 3.5x what the Pi v3 had.Last edited by coder; 04 June 2021, 09:11 PM.

But that was loved by everyone, so they changed the password and won't hand it out. So I guess my VCS is never going back to AtariOS.
