>$950 starting priceI don't feel so good Steambros...Valve messed up big time on this one.
>>107815101Damn, cheaper than expected.
>>107815101DOA.
>>107815101thats actually really good
This is from a Czech retailer. 19826 CZK is about $950.
>third party reseller in a country that steam ships decks to directlyretard
>>107815101AAA games are bloated.software is bloated.you're paying more for the same outputt a mid card could handle 5 year ago.
>>107815101No normalfag is spending almost $1000 on a console (yes this is a console in their mind). Even the Piss5 pro is $200 cheaper than the GabeCube if this is true.
>>107815101Priced out a pc with the same specs and different form factor, was around $1,250 burger bucks and has an exploding PSU with the most garbage supporting components on the planet. Decent price for what it offers.
>>107815101Is that considered a lot of money where you're from?
>>107815101please make the image a bit smaller, I can almost read itretard pepik
>>107815101IIRC Valve are only going to sell these directly, why would a third party site have their pricing?
Ooooh valvieeees
>>107815116Meh just random placeholder price, unless that retailer has like official partnership with valve which is unlikely,.
page is still up https://www.smarty.cz/Valve-Steam-Machine-512GB-4p249960https://www.smarty.cz/Web/GoogleAnalytics/GaInfo?productId=249960Why is this considered reliable?
>>107815193>smarty.czit's not, ALZA.CZ is largest Czech retailer when it comes to electronics, I assume if anyone had direct partnership with valve it would be them. Nothingburger.
>>107815101That's fuck off pricing. Deck was about $700. I'm not paying more than that.
>>107815193Because they seem to have exclusive product images.
>>107815101>literal who retailer lists random price for unreleased thing
>>107815116That's after VAT.
>>107815101uh, that doesn't look like the Steam website
smarty.cz is a scam site. You send them money and they'll never send you anything
>>107815101first product release? retailers prelist items with fake prices all the time--especially anticipated ones. go place a pre-order if you can. if the actual price ends up being higher they'll cancel your order. if the price ends up being lower they'll steal your extra money as a stupidity tax.
>>107815101can it run IA?
I'm going to say starting $750 assuming valve secured memory early, 899 otherwise
Can some one make me 1000 dollar pre-built with 2TB, thats better than Steam Machine?
>>107815149You are comparing only hardware but that PC has also free legal copy of Windows. If you include that the price wont be that nice anymore.
>people so desperate to meme up another tortanic that they go looking at source code for some obscure third-party retailerthe hell man, you can doom post all you want when they actually announce a price, do something else with your life.

They can't go super affordable because else these machines will just be bought up for the cheap ram and ssd. Don't think entry model will be more than $850 though, possibly $799.
>>107815101Half a year ago that would have been bad but the way prices are going that's probably decent enough value compared to building an equivalent pc by the time it comes out.
>>107820031that was like 700$ 3 months ago
>>107820031That CPU/GPU are quite a bit faster than what's in the gabecube. You can buy a basic case for like $50. The resulting PC will be fully upgrade-able at any time, rather than just the SSD (and RAM?) like the gabecube. If you buy used (easy, since these are all previous gen parts + DDR4) then you can shave quite a bit of money off that, or pay the same amount for better parts. Sure, you can argue that Valve isn't 'overcharging', but a company's bottom line isn't the consumer's problem. There are better options, and there's very few cases where this product makes sense.
>>107815101They didn't even list bus speeds. oh good lord...

>>107815116This is Trump's fault.
>>107820529steam machine is a 6 core zen 4 + 8gb 28 cu rdna 3, the 7600 has 32 cus , but is clocked lower than the steam machine, a pc with the parts listed will be within 10% of whatever the steam box is, assuming they are using "off the shelf" silicon, amd has done custom silicon for valve before, so the performance could be higher or lower depending on if they did something like zen 4 on a 4nm etc.
>>107820255market conditions change, the steam machine isnt out yet, price will change accordingly
>>107821480You don't need as many CU's on RDNA3 compared to RDNA2.

>>107822850>steam>lack of strict DRMGet a load of this faggot
>>107822850i think a lot of people know/realise that valve's drm as little as they can practically get away with. no drm at all just isn't acceptable for many publishers, and "too much" isn't acceptable by consumers. easily-defeatable drm is the sweet spot. keeps publishers happy because it's "drm", keeps pirates happy because it's not a pain to bypass, and keeps legit customers happy because it doesn't require any additional bullshit pirated copies don't, it just works
>>107822873Steam's DRM is optional for publishers. Many games run fine if launched without steam running.
>>107819918post part prices you can build yourself and get similar specs
>>107822841>Retard spewing retarded shitlolLmaoThe steam machines custom gpu is speced lower than even the fucking 7600 non xt. It’s basically what the 7500xt would have been. Also>paying ~$1000 for 1 generation old bottom of the barrel dGPU and CPU in 2026
So literally pointless to buy unless you want to throw $1000 at a stationary steamdeck to feel cool?
i'm just unironically recommending things like nvidia's streaming shit to most people who want a gayming computah nowlocal pc gaming is dead for the foreseeable future
>>107823387It's not dead lmao. Tell me you're a child without telling me you're a child. We've had like 10 years of favorable pricing in 50 years of expensive pricing.
>>107823391>10 yearsit's been longer than that. pc gayming starting taking off sometime through the xbox 360 eraeven before then it wasn't pricing that made consoles appealing, it was that pc ports were either shit or consoles actually had exclusivesi've literally owned gpus since the voodoo 1, child.
>>107823403The fuck are you even talking about fag. The gtx 8800 was $599 on release lmao. My gaming laptop with a 7800 in it was $3000 around the same time. This was also considered better and more favorable pricing than previous years. Not that many people were PC gaming at the time either. Most people we're playing what their default family computers could handle and that's it because that's also all their ENTIRE family could afford. Meanwhile these days every single fuck in a family has 6 devices.
>>107823424thanks for proving my point, faggot. this would be the equivalent to a 90 card today.your homosexual nature causing you to burn 3 grand on a laptop doesn't change reality.you have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
>>107823437Proving what point? A 90 card is $2k and 2 8800's would be equal to a 90 class card. AKA shit's always been expensive except in the 2010s. I don't even know what you're on about because the reading comprehension of a zoomer doesn't fucking exist so you're on some tangent argument with yourself.
>>107823452>2 8800's would be equal to a 90 class cardhaha okay buddy, as if the 90 cards are equivalent to someone back then buying a sli setupthe 90cards now are the only performant optionsthe cli set ups were for people who had more money then sensethere has never been a worse time to build a computer to play games in the last 30+ years.you need to kys
>>107815335The processor used is pretty much binned Ryzen AI Max chips. What's the msrp on these chips. From there it's mainboard, case and memory.I gander this hunk a shit costs no more than $300 to build.
>>10782347690 cards literally started as dual chip cards as on board SLI. You're clearly a fucking moron roleplaying. Again, most families had old or out of date PCs for like 30 years as the only computer for the entire family. It's easier for me to build a top of the line PC now AND watercool it than it was to build just a regular PC back in the day. Hell, my DDR3 Q6600 machine was like $300 for 8gb of ram or whatever when it launched and would you look at that, 32Gb of RAM right now is almost the exact same price with inflation! Except, now I don't need a $350 790i Ultra or $550 Q6600 to go with it. Hell I can buy a used GPU right now for like $100 and get better gameplay experience than spending like $200 back in the day.
>>107823511>Hell I can buy a used GPU right now for like $100absolutely delusional take, buddyit's time to go take your meds
>>107815116So substract 23% or more VAT + import fees nad that's the American price.Roughly 730 USD.

>>107823577No laughs being made. A 1070 can basically play every single game at 1080p. That type of possibility never existed with old cards. Hell, most iGPUs can do more gaming now than a high end card in the past could.
>>107815152For $800 I can upgrade my PC to AM5 Mobo with a 9800X3D, buy ddr5, even with 5600mhz ram prices being $160-200 more. My PC would be a 9800X3D+6700XT vs my ryzen 5600xNot buying the scam machine

>>107823437Most people on here have no clue because they’re uneducated. This was probably the first time ever my economics degree had some value. The amount of collective stupid on the Internet was fun to watch.
Even if this is a placeholder, Valve has already said they will not subsidise the cost of the GabeCube. When meeting with Linus Cuck Tips, they were shocked at his suggestion that it should be around $500 to be in line with console pricing. https://www.vice.com/en/article/linus-tech-tips-claims-valve-had-a-negative-reaction-to-500-steam-machine-price/If this thing is anywhere above $650-700 USD tax included, it is dead on arrival. >Valve has said is that they can’t give a price right now, due to “continously changing economic situations.” Its going to be $900+ and Valve will wonder why the fuck it flops.
>>107823452>>107823476man, i've just never been a richfag so i've never bought a top end card new in my life. i remember when gpus passed the $1000 threshold (in my countries' money) with the 7950GX2, and i just knew i was never going to afford the most expensive option
>>107823590>25fps in E33>playable LOL
>>107823778Yeah? That's completely playable. This whole high FPS thing is literally a modern complaint BECAUSE GPUs are so powerful now that we've pushed to new limits. Anyone who was a kid in the 80s or 90s would know this.
>>107823792not him but i was a kid in the '90s and while i really do get what you mean, i've opted to reduce settings quite severely for higher framerate since at least the mid '00s, basically for as long as that was an option. i'd rather play on low 640x480 to get 75+fps than medium 1024x768 at 30fps. it depends on the game to a degree, but i tend to play games where framerate matters more than still-image quality
>>107822825Not even a webdev, just some employee of that shop.
>>107823822Of course, but modern games when you reduce settings for framerate it's pretty great gains for not much reduced quality. Not to mention if you have any modern card framegen and DLSS is insane compared to options in the past.
>>107823850certain options being really expensive is not a new thing. never used "framegen" or "dlss"
I would pay if it could run league of legends, damn, just like smoking, I miss that game but thanks to the rootkit I can't play it anymore.
>>107823840sure, point for both of us i think we'd agree that whoever wrote that was probably in no way in a position of authority and probably never even considered that the value they'd write would be of value to anyone else, much less seen by anyone else.some people seem to over-value quite greatly how much the average person cares about the gabecube (i do love that name btw)
>>107823792fucking kill yourself you blind retardanything below 90fps MINIMUM is laggy slop
>>107824051Nigga you couldn't even achieve 90 fps for the majority of my gaming life. That's how young and retarded you are.
>>10782406631 is young now?When you’re a kid, you are stupid and don’t notice things or just live with what you have. I remember hating every fucking moment as a kid trying to play games on the shitty family PC on a shitty monitor. As soon as I got my first job at 16, I built my own PC and enjoyed the fuck out of playing TF2 and Saints Row 3 at 100fps+ on a 75hz screen. seethe blind retard
What does a decently competent gaming computer cost in 2026?
>>107824141So you're example is literally to point out an easy to run source game from when 30fps+ became a thing people started to care about?
>>107822467oh yeah, each 5y let's make games require x2 resources with 20% quality improvement. nice strategy.
>>107824159Depends on what you consider decent and what kind of games you're trying to play really. Also form factor. You can get laptops with 5060s for under $1000. There's so many different things you can do and buy and spend for specific scenarios though. Like, a generic prebuilt is truly all like 70% of people need. $2.5k for a 5080, 32GB of ram and a 9800x3D and covers everything. Or a 5060ti 32GB of ram for $1400. Once you price out individually it's all about what you're going for and where you make cuts or over expend to meet demands. On top of that you can get a decent monitor for like nothing these days but obviously the more high end you want the costs go up into the thousands.
>>107824170>ignored Saints Row 3 intentionally because his argument was BTFOyeah, naa, kys for being such a genetic dead end. https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-680-Benchmarks.92915.0.htmlliteral 100+ fps in plenty of games on High settingsCOPE
>>107820255So invent a Time Machine because it’s not 3 months ago anymore. So that’s a moot point.
>>107815101Anything under 1k bucks will be a pretty good price. The next playstation is probably going to cost 800 bucks or so unless they locked in memory chip buying contracts before their prices exploded.
>>107825334hahahahahahahaha no it won’tconsoles are subsidised, Valve has stated they won’t subsidise the GaybeCube. The next PS will be $650-$700 and Valve will wonder why their shitbox with half the performance isn’t selling at $1k+
>>107824170>from when 30fps+ became a thing people started to care aboutNigga what? Do you think people played unreal tournament and quake at 30fps kek?You are either 20 years old or a 30 year old that didn't play on PC till Covid.
>>107823476>haha okay buddy, as if the 90 cards are equivalent to someone back then buying a sli setupIt literally is. GTX 690 was a dual-chip graphics card
>>107825380The ps6 is gonna be a 1k device sold at 800 as a loss leader. The ps5 was 500 bucks in 2020. Since then there has been 25% inflation in general. On top of that the computer hardware market has suffered extra inflation due to the data center buildup and, on top of that, Trump increased tariffs by 15-30% on the countries where the playstations are made.You add all that together plus the decline of interest on full price AAA games (where sony used to make back the money from) and the higher standard of what is considered acceptable for gaming now (not even consolegoyim buy the cinematic 24fps or muh eyes can't see more than 1080p bullshit anymore) and ain't no way the ps6 isn't sold at 800 bucks minimum.
>>107815241There's no such thing as VAT. Taxes don't add value, only cost. The word you're looking for is sales tax.
>>107825480Also, the part of why they didn't increase the ps5 prices during the covid inflation is that the dollar was very strong for most of the last 5 years so the losses from inflation were more or less compensated by overseas customers buying with a stronger currency, but the dollar has been trending down for a year now against most currencies aside from the yen which it has been stable against because both currencies are going to shit at the same speed.
>>107815836blame the Govt for the shit-ass tax rate, not Valve
if it's actually $950 this will be a massive flop. is it really xbox series s levels of hardware for $950?am i dreaming????
>>107815107proof?
Valve just didn't see the coming of the end of personnal computing. From now on you'll just buy a screen and it will stream whatever from the cloud. Cloud streaming services will soon being proposed everywhere, for everything, to your fucking OS. The more the scarce hardware will be, the more games will just be exclusive to streaming platforms, until you just can play old games on your pc until it finally dies and you can just buy a 2nd hand computer at a very high price, stop using technology, or just submit to the great cloud (tl; tr : PC is dead.
>>107823476>the 90cards now are the only performant optionsThis is some sort of mental illness and I don't know where it's coming from but I see it very frequently. You can play literally every video game out there on far, far cheaper cards than a 5090 or a 4090. Yes the image quality isn't going to be as high but you can most definitely play the games.
>>107825596Yeah, but it's ugly upscaled shit, what's the point when you can have that on console for cheaper?
>>107825480>and the higher standard of what is considered acceptable for gamingwhat60FPS with hallucinated frames on high-end hardware would never be considered acceptable 10 years ago, yet here we are
>steam fanboys copingIf you’re going to charge over $900 for something that is WEAKER that a base ps5 and on par with the series s, then yeah, normies wouldn’t want to spend that much when they have probably already have a console, handheld or mobile device at homeIt wouldn’t even appeal to enthusiasts who already have a fucking 5090 with a 9950x3d in their itx rigs Just who in the fuck was this supposed to be marketed to?
>>107815149>and has an exploding PSU proof?
I have to admit, i was fooling around with FSR(4) and honestly at 4k performance looks completely fine to me.I was testing on my TV so i was sitting back a fair bit so not pixel peeping like on a monitor so that made a difference too.

>>107825757down from 60 CUs for PS5 Pro, makes senseI bet the CPU is still faster though
>>107816093It looks like an AMP.>t. knower
>>107825790>literally 4 less threadsmaybe in IPC but it will be worse in multicore
>>107815101It's not even worth 300 bucks.Also idgaf, i just don't see the usecase for that underpowered device, even priced at 300 i'd not buy it.
>>107825879SMT doesn't really matter on modern CPUs as much as it did in the i7-3770K days. It's hard to predict how it will perform but it's pretty much guaranteed that Steam Machine is going to have better single core performance and won't be too far off in multi-threaded tasks. I'm posting from a PC with 5950X which is also 2 generations behind my laptop's AI 9 HX PRO 370 and despite having 12 cores instead of 16, it's not dramatically slower.
>>107825956It matters when games now use up to 32 threads.
>>107825978It matters when there's a benchmark that proves it. Just a few years ago going from 5800X to 5950X made absolutely no sense for gaming and as far as I know people haven't started recommending 2 CCD chips for that purpose yet. Besides, if something is going to tank performance on the cube and make PS5 look good by comparison, it's going to be that mid GPU.But Steam has more games than PlayStation so hardware is not the whole story anyway.
>>107825596prior to the normalisation of the 90 series, the 80 equivalent were the enthusiast choice cards; the sli setups were dimishing returns things for retards.that diminishing return retardo option simply doesn't exist now.the gap between the 80 and the 90 cards is very real and feels generational in nature.yes you can run your games on your 70 and 80 cards, but the performance difference b/w those and the 90s is large enough that you're practically being served bargain bin cards at flagship prices.
>>107815969yeah dude valve is doing it for FREE. its charity. theyre actually a charity organization. thats why they make all of their money from letting children gamble.i cant believe valve is so charitable they want to give us stuff at a loss. theyre just so great
>>107823617>1239,90 € after VATThat is way too expensive.It will probably be 999 $ before taxes in the US.
