I wonder if it's possible to get a bunch of these, daisy chain the processors, and span hard drives until it can install and run Monster Hunter World. Lack of VRAM is the only foreseeable issue.

You forgot cache distance. That would also critically hinder performance

lack of VRAM is the only forseeable issue

Not at all - VRAM isn't nearly as important as people make it out to be. It's actually kinda weird how all of sudden Reddit and Lemmy became obsessed with VRAM.

The actual bottleneck in this infinite chain of obsolete computers would be the link speed between each client, as eventually the mere length of cable would be enough to delay signals to the point their pooled computation would be slower than a frame requires, but also the sheer processing power required to even assign load and regroup the information calculated by each system.

I realize the irony of me talking about latency as a concern given my absurd above suggestion, but I think the bus speed would slow dramatically if it only relied on regular RAM.

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these.

Mod parent up.

Surely there would be enough latency to make it unplayable, no?

I doubt enough of these exist to make an adequate E-Machine supercomputer

The PC version has probably the worst optimization of any game I've ever played. It's an incredibly lazy console port, framelocked and all.
