Gaming is not the purpose of GPU accelerated single board computers. Though you could reasonably play some games on the Jetson Nano, Nvidia markets the jetson series as embeddable machine learning systems. While there may be complaints of how hot the jetson gets or its performance with Ubuntu, the jetson is not intended to be used as a personal computer. It’s cheaper than dirt machine learning access. I highly recommend it as a way to get started in AI or CUDA with the smallest price barrier possible.
- CydeWeys 6y agoI said it was a use case, not the purpose. But realistically these single board computers are more suitable for gaming than for machine learning. If you don't have a computer at all then I guess you could use a Jetson for this purpose, but a real computer would be much better and is easily within the budgets of most companies and most software engineers. Is this a developing markets play? I've never heard of someone whose only computer is a Pi/Jetson. By the time you add all the necessary peripherals to use it as your only computer, it costs more than a cheap laptop. So the point of a Jetson is .. you only have a cheap laptop with terrible integrated graphics, and for $60 you get a much better GPU with this Jetson, and you remote into it? I think it'll do better in gaming.
