It seems you're wondering if connecting an external GPU to a Raspberry Pi is feasible and what performance options are available. Let me know if you'd like more details!

It's a Raspberry Pi with an ARM CPU, which means you can't run Windows or x86 apps. Power-wise, it's quite limited—B+ costs $35. Still, NVIDIA GameStream works on it. And that 4chan vibe? Classic greentext.

The PC parts on the Pi would significantly restrict the GPU performance, likely capping it at a substantial level—roughly a large number.

It would really be a mess... because of that.

It's unclear if anyone has confirmed a definitive answer. The situation seems uncertain and open to interpretation.

Yes, the parts could slow things down significantly. But is there a way to send data into the PI faster?

Actually, there are many ways to achieve that goal.

For PC games, the options vary by title. It might work as an emulator, possibly supporting N64 games well? Risk of Rain seems plausible, though I'm not certain. You'd need to set up a Linux environment like Ubuntu or Mint, install Steam, and look for Linux-based titles. External GPU support is unlikely, but it's possible someone has found a workaround. Regarding the Raspberry Pi, it could be about cost or portability—you could use a smaller Fitlet-PC and try running games there.
