The hardware is bad. It’s a power throttled bottom of the barrel GPU and CPU. It’s a 1080p30fps machine for anything other than indies, and for most AAA gaming it will need the atrocious FSR to even get to that.

It’s not upgradable either, so it’s not like you can just swap out the GPU or CPU for a better one later.

For a machine that’s targeting the living room, where most people who might consider buying this would be wanting to use it on a big 4K TV, they’ve made the worst possible performing machine for that use case.

Does lying to prove your point feel good? Watch the reviews that came out last week. It's not 4K, but it can run AAA games of this generation at or close to 60 fps. Cyberpunk was even shown to exceed 60 fps at 1080 ultra.

@MystValkyrie@lemmy.blahaj.zone Im guessing you went back and looked at the reviews you thought proved your point and saw you were mistaken? 🤣

The steam machine does not run cyberpunk over 60fps at ultra settings lol.

12:50 "We're seeing averages of 81 FPS and it's fully playable like this." Also watch the bottom left of the screen -- it says "ultra." I'm sorry, but I'm right about this and I have evidence. So quit it with the laugh emoji like I'm some idiot.

No, I didn't. Watch Digital Foundry's and ETA Prime's review with gameplay tests, then come back.
