    " The only game that works with the Jaguar and Jaguar VR system-Missile Command 3D(VR) Although a demo was shown of Zone Hunter running through the headset there is no known code to exist for the Jaguar. Alipine boards were discovered from Virtuality with only a "dead" battery. Any information the boards contained had been lost. The proposed pack-in was to be Zone Hunter. "

    From Wikipedia, and there are references : " The headset was capable of tracking based on an infra-red signal received from a base station with at least a 120 degree field of view. Connections were included with the future intent of adding additional base stations for the full 360 degrees.[52] At least one game title was produced by Virtuality for the peripheral, which was a VR version of Missile Command and a demonstration version of Zone Hunter was shown working.[53][54][55] "

    I spoke with Martin Brownlow and he never mentioned any build in progress for the Jag. He said he had a doom-like engine that was running 2-3x faster than Doom though but that was the extent. Granted that was quite some time after. As far as it running on the Jag, I could believe it to be fully possible since Martin was an amazing programmer. MC3D tells all, it was insanely fast with the VR headset.

    Not to be a downer, but this looks to perform at the $200-300 level. It's roughly about the performance of an 8 year old gaming laptop, or a 10 year old gaming computer. The graphics core integrated into the newest CPUs today performs similarly (some variation depending on DDR5 speeds used). An RTX 2060 is about twice as fast as the 5500XT. A Ryzen 5800X is 2x-4x the performance of the i7-3770, depending on single vs heavily-threaded loads. The lower CPU frequencies, lower IPC, and limited core counts are becoming a large bottleneck now days, in production apps, and in any AAA game. The CPU in this system is more a bottleneck than the GPU you installed. That said, these old or off-lease SFF and mini-tower workstation PCs are a great value in general. The last one I purchased for $100 a few years ago had a i7-6700 and 8GB of RAM, no HDD. It worked great as a surveillance camera server, using QuickSync from Intel's IGP. Nice basic computers with low TDPs and power consumption. Today I'd look for an off-lease around $100-120 with an i7-9700, for the 8-cores and 4.7GHz max turbo. The i7-9700 is a better match for the 5500XT, for today's games at 1080p.

    • @paulwestphal7336
      @paulwestphal7336 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the review. 😀I was just stating my personal results from Userbenchmark ( which weirdly compared the 5500xt to the 2060 ) and Superposition. That being said, I don't put much trust in Userbenchmark's accuracy. My Superposition scores at 1080p medium settings were exactly the same as as much higher specced hardware which I thought was worth mentioning. For instance, at 1080p high / high, I got 6752 and a Core I7 8700k / Nvidia Titan XP got the same according to the leaderboard.
