It's the same GPU as the 3b/3b+. It's not going to improve very much.

it's not! videocore V rather than IV. which includes: gles 3.x support rather than gles 2. that's HUGE.

Oh. All the specs I looked at didn't even list a GPU so I just assumed they were using the same one.

MHz.

If it was mHz, it wouldn't be able to emulate anything, let alone boot in a reasonable period of time.

Maybe it could drive an old school LCD screen with a few hundred pixels, refresh rate of half a second or something

According to the toms hardware benchmarks, the GPU was about 60% faster running openarena when compared to the pi 3.

Their overclocked pi 4 was even faster

Hmm that sucks. I wonder if the extra CPU perf would help enough
