The Dell OEM RX 550 on CachyOS Linux (HP Slimline 270, i3-7100, 16 gigs DDR4)

These aren't serious benchmarks, I'm just eyeballing the averages here. In my previous video I said I was done upgrading my HP slimline 270 desktop, and I thought I was, but I couldn't help the urge to tinker around with it more, so I picked up the Dell OEM RX 550 4GB GPU to see how much of an uplift it gave my little HP Slimline which is now, maybe around or just below the specs of an original Xbox One. It was hanging around an Xbox 360 level, so it's almost a console generation leap in performance.
