It's clear i may have some more testing to do when it comes to the GPU, especially with proton as a lot of you are saying! I've got other videos planned out right now, but will look more into it!
some advice: you can make proton work in all likeliness, and the reason it doesn't at present is that it's trying to use vulkan for graphics rather than opengl, if you put the following command into the launch options of a game on steam and ensure that the tickbox for "force use compatibility tool" or something to that effect is enabled PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 this forces proton to use directx to opengl for graphics, a slower implementation than vulkan but works on older cards
yeah, proton didn't work due to that old card not supporting vulkan. there's a command to make it use opengl for translating directx commands via proton. proton itself works just fine, on newer hardware, on older stuff you will have to do work arounds.
lots people these days take 1080p for granted but back when these cards where popular it was basically what we see 4k as now or I guess 8k now im not hip with hyper resolution lol
that's not a proton issue. that's an API compatibility issue. Terascale doesn't support Vulkan. need to change Proton to use OpenGL rather then Vulkan.
fun thing but the 4670 was the first dedicated gpu that i bought, used, in 2012 for the first pc i built (paired with an athlon ii x2 and a gigabyte am3 mobo)... perfect for playing DMC:Devil May Cry
Its not S-Video, IDK why every site says it is, but look at the port, its not the same. Its a break-out port for Component cables to do up to 1080P on TVs. These ports were common at the time before HDMI was everywhere. My 8800 GT had one.
I know people already tell u that, but this gpu does not support vulkan, u should use opengl instead. Also, u can try diffrent versions of wine via lutris.
My PC is from 2008. It has a Intel core2 quad and His iceq ATI Radeon HD3870 graphics card with 512mb of vram. The pc also has only 2gb of DDR2. I have installed crystal Linux and hyprland on it. Now I can at least play Minecraft at 120 fps.
@notanetcher I put linux on my old laptop and my weaker pc and it works with no effort Albeit, I have to replug my wifi usb stick everytime I boot up the system on the weaker pc
Half Life 2 has a native Linux version that works in OpenGL. You should have tested it with that it would have worked a lot better for this GPU since it doesn't support vulkan which is required for proper proton support

linux is a pain on my hp z8 g4 with rtx 4070 ti and radeon pro SSG im sure if i remove the rtx itw ill work but otherwise i cant even get ubuntu to work unless i use safe mode / debug which disables gpu acceleration . thanks nvidia
i defiantly can say that the Radeon HD 2000, 3000, 4000 are the most useless GPU's as they don't have native support for windows 10, but anything after the 4000 like the Radeon HD 5000 is fine for windows 10. at best the HD 2000, 3000, 4000 cards are good for windows 8, 7, vista and XP.

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1

+1. It allows my iMac mid 2011 21.5” with HD 7750/7770 to run, though I’m quite limited by the i5-2400s.

good content love videos like these

There is a crazy person making a vulkan linux driver for these old gpus
Without Vulkan on the GPU, the machine used the CPU to create an llvmpipe-based render, bypassing the GPU and leading to horrendous performance.
I know he doesn't suit everybody's taste... However, I still feel safe saying: God bless Linus Torvalds.
Proton doesnt work cause it doesnt have Vulkan.
Minecraft has also always worked on Linux and Minecraft should run way better on Linux than on Windows since OpenJDK is optimized for Linux
You can also easily install the driver on Windows 10 if you just tell the installer program you are on Windows 8.1 with the compatibility tab.
@notanetcher Elaborate please.
@notanetcher And both of those are cause by hardware manufacturers not cause of Linux.

@notanetcher right back at you bud
@notanetcher skill issue

I would recommend using sodium with minecraft as it majorly improves performance.
Subbed
Btw what mic do u use
Shure MV7!
Nice video. a weird concept but interesting one
The Mesa drivers for that era of GPU absolutely sucks. Believe me, I know...
Hmm... I seem to remember this was the gtx750ti of its time since it could run source games in 1080P decently. Win 7 is probably needed.
I have a radeon hd 5450
Cpu?
Ryzen 5 3600 paired with 32gb of 3200mhz RAM

Minecraft can run on anything as long as it have Java
