PC Gaming

If anyone knows this is steam. I belive them

Why use the word "claims"? They have the Valve Hardware survey to prove the statement.

itt gamers act like anything that doesn't do ray tracing is literally a commodore 64.

yall got some spoiled child ass ideas about hardware longevity, im over here on a 3gb 960 running most things just fine on lowered settings.

I'm sure it does, considering even my old busted laptop has hit the Steam hardware survey before, but it's not one of my primary gaming PCs.

Another way of saying this is Steam Machine is slower than about 44 million gaming PCs (30% x 147 MAU, a very conservative number since that's monthly and number of users instead of number of computers).

The fact that its GPU is slower than the 5 year old PS5's, and it only has 8GB VRAM, makes me question Steam Machine's longevity. And it apparently can't do FSR4 cause it's RDNA3.

It needs to be cheap.

Looks like many do forgot, this is mid-cheap intended machine, not top tier tech race.

Still some depends on price, but I'm hyped for 500€ upgrade of whole 6yo rig, all in one, well build (not like most supermarket prebuild crap). I see flaws in Cube, may need to spend some 100€ extra for missing things (sdd to usb adapters, audio extractor from hdmi to 3.5jacks, extra sdcard for less intense data), still hyped.

Like this is cheap family car talks, Koenigsegg is 2 links to the left.

They need to price this properly and all will be fine.

Just wanted to post this video. If this tiny undervolted, underpowered, palm sized APU machine can run these games at these FPS, I am willing to bet that steam machines gonna run games without dropping a sweat at 4k.

Also, a portable Steam Deck can run BG3. Steam machines will be fine.

I rarely play the latest games, so that machine would be a good upgrade for me. Especially with the ability to load a different OS that I could use for both productivity and gaming.

Bump it to a bigger SSD and 64GB of RAM and I'll be happy with it.

steeeeeeeam machiiiiiiiiiiine

The majority of gamers game at 1080p. Both on PCs, and especially on consoles. Most people's TVs aren't even big enough for people with average eyesight to see a difference between 1080p and 2160p.

So the question to ask is if the steam deck is too slow, because the steam machine at 1080p will solidly beat the steam deck at 800p.

If you want something faster for desktop, just build a matx mid tower with a 9070xt. It'll cost double, but you'll be able to game in 2160p.

Yes, but mostly because most of the gaming PCs in Steam's hardware survey are not really gaming PCs but just some piss poor spec laptops that can still run old games. Just having a dedicated GPU puts it in the top half.

The GPU in this is in the 7600 RX range of things. It's marketed as a 1080p card. Can certainly hit 4K on older titles, and output 4K with upscaling.

Don't expect miracles from it. It's PS5 level hardware. But that's good enough for most of us.
