IT'S FUCKING OVER
You will buy it anyway
>>730437129DELETE THIS BASTERD BITCH BENCHOD EGS MOTHER WHORE
Oh no no no no no
Cheap console subsidized with more expensive games (and now subscriptions) or a PC with a higher upfront cost this has always been the system.
>>730437129>>730437187>>730437230>>730437278>cheaper than current RAMGABEN WINS AGAIN
>>730437531>all gabecubes will be bought by scalpers and scavenged for ram
>>730437129Only $1200 + tax + tip + shipment delay?Saint GabeN, you shouldn't have... :)
>>730437531How the fuck is he not dead yet?

>>730438000it uses shroom ram
Hehe, thats magnificent.
I'm glad I buyedboughted a graphics card instead of waiting for this trash.
>still ended up ends up selling more than the Nin-toddler Shitch Unice try, Snöy, this will sell out immediately, probably the best value to be had in gaming since Game Pass
>>730437129It's just a placeholder, idiots. The price hasn't been decided.
DOA if real
>>730438000Checked. Also why is anyone surprised by this price? We knew it was gonna be expensive once RAM prices skyrocketed because of ai slop and tech billionaires.
>>730438528You hope.
>>730438182Very based
>>730437129>hey boss we made so much money reselling the Steam Deck with a massive markup to retards who can't visit Valve's website to buy the device themselves, let's do it again with the Steam Machine especially now that the hype is hot, some retard might even give us money to preorder it for them>wait, Valve hasn't released the price of the Steam Machine yet, how are we gonna price it>just guess a number... the google says it'll be about $600-800, add like a 30ish% markup, there perfect
>linus suggested that it might be $700-800 range>it's actually much worsereminder that this thing is roughly the same power as a ps5. everyone that claimed that it would kill consoles and usher in a new age of PC gamers just fell flat on their face.
>>730437531i look like this
>>730438825No one with a brain believed that anyway.
I'll only get like 4 anyways.
>Fell for it again
>>730437129>retailerthat's not the direct to consumer price
>>730438676People deluded themselves because the heckin' chungus Gaben would sell them cheap to stick it to the competition. It'll be the same thing with the Steam Frame i'm calling it right now.
>>730437129>everything else that works as a PC starts skyrocketing>gabecube locked in at around $1000Once again Valve is only saved by the world imploding around their retardation.Why does it keep happening?
inb4 8GB DDR4 1080p variants priced at $700
>>730438825It also doesn't require a subscription for basic shit like cloud saves and you have Steam sale prices. It more than evens out.
>>730439473>Steam sale pricesused disk are way cheaper than your average steam sale price
>>730437129But I already have a PC? I'm waiting for the VR goggles not steam cube. Anyone who isn't already a PC gamer will buy it anyways for cheaper than price of building your own PC in anno domini 2026. And they will enjoy all the PC games from 1990s to present day (PRESENT TIME HAHAHA)
not buying it regardless of the price since I have a real pc but even at $1k it's still a better buy than spending half that on a piss5 or shitch poo
>>730438825>reminder that this thing is roughly the same power as a ps5it isn't
>>730437129LMAO
>>730437129KEEEEK AND THERE WERE SOME MORONS WHO SAID IT WAS GONNA COST 699 USD. TOLD YOU RETARDS THAT IT WAS NOT PHYSICALLY, COMMERCIALLY AND ANALLY IMPOSSIBLE. TOLD YOU MOFOS THAT I WAS GONNA COME BACK. NOW PAY UP FOR THE LED STRIP AND THE STEAM OS
>>730439662>7 year old game

>>730438986KONNICHIWA DUDE!
>>730437531Anon it comes with a 16 gb kit, both models. I don't think you can pay 1000 usd and then sell the ram for 149 usd and make a profit...
>>730438338Like always, as usual, wait fags lose. They might be on the border of suicide, even, while waiting for rtx 5000 supers :)
I expected 800 burgers for the base model before the component price explosion, so 1k seems about right after.Still a decent deal for a little custom pre-built, I feel bad for people trying to get into PC gaming with how much AI has fucked everything up.
>>730437129Czechoslovak here - Alza has pretty big mark up on lot of goods, for example: Steam Deck Oled 1TB costs 800 euro, as opposed to 679 euro directly from Valve.I expect the actual price of Steam Machine to be lower than this leaked price.
>>730438528Why not 99999 then? Or 00000? For place holder? If the number doesn't mean anything? Hmmm?
>>730437187Yup! In a sucker for valve tech. I still have my Steam Controller and OG Vive with Index controllers. They have me by the fucking balls. I'm probably going to buy the HMD too and give my Vive to my bro.
>>730439662>GTX 1060
>>730439473He pays for games.... Nigger with the amount of money I saved I changed 4 gpus, I bought 14 tb of storage, I bought a ps5 and sold it for profit
>>730440380I do and it's much more powerful than the steam box or whatever the fuck it's called. I just want da cube for my living room so I can keep my Deck Dock in my bedroom.
why Americunts don't stop tech scalpers instead of bombing countries to steal oil?
It's a terrible price.
>>730437129>Czech>Steam Deck OLED 1TB is also $950 there while being $650 hereSo, the 512GB Steam Machine will be $650 and the 2TB Steam Machine will be $750 here, got it.
we’re all getting a massive windfall with the newly acquired crude oil on top of tariffs absolutely smashing expectations putting even more money back into all our wallets, we’re all gonna have endless disposable income, absolute nothing burger
>>730440380WTF is that file name?
I dropped $1400 on parts for my current PC two years ago. Totally worth it.I think the GabeCube is more targeted at people who want a mid range gaming PC that just works out of the box, and are willing to spend a little higher than what a traditional console costs.
Never ever, ever wanna hear PC and Valve cucks talk about Nintendo prices and greed again. You're a bad faith actor.
>>730437187If you're coming from a 2017 laptop then sure
$1000? Sounds good to me, what's a real conputer these days, $4000? Might buy one instead of a ps5 pro
>>730440549>massive in comparison>>>>>>Lenovo>>>>>>>>>>Windows 11I would rather shoot my own dick off
>>730440380as a second computer, one that is dedicated to just video games and actually has functional suspend and resume
>>730440549That's not a bad deal honestly but gotta invest 64 gb ddr4 ram and maybe an nvme seeing they put a sata ssd and hdd
>>730440556Correction, $700 for 512GB and $800-$850 for 2TB Steam Machine here.
>>730440667>what's a real conputer these days, $4000?only if you stupid and don't know how to shop
>>730440597-[a]You weren’t supposed to see that. Just think about how [d] tired you are right now and forget it. Take a nap? Good job [horse]
>>730440620the only bad faith actors are the retards in this thread shitposting about a retailer price
they already said it's the price of parts so yeah it's gonna suck with current prices. they can't delay either because PS6 will be out by then. it's just unfortunate timing
>>730440867>no CPU>no GPU>no PSU>no case >no peripherals or cables>38-38-38-78LOL
1k dolars isn't bad. Problem is that in Europe it's going to cost 25%+ more. It's been already confirmed that the pricing was a placeholder. We'll know the real price soon.>>730440867Then add the GPU and CPU and other computer parts and see how much adds up.
>>730440957Sorry I don't speak faggot retard, can you try again in English?
>>730441121>It's been already confirmed that the pricing was a placeholder.Where?

Fucking dead on arrival. If Gaben has 2 brain cells to rub together he might as well scrap the entire initiative and let the Valve employees and insiders get the steam machine for free while he waits for the RAM and storage markets prices to go back to sanity.
>>730441285>paying the same price or more for a worse machine that's twice the sizelole
>>730440620>>730440983It's Snoys, always have been, always will be
>>730441285>>730441436Oh yeah gotta add another $150 for storageYou're paying over $1k for a shitbox that would fit in any living room spaceLOL
>>730441421how about you rub 2 brain cells together and see the immediate red flags with the price coming from a random third party retailer from a shithole country
>>730441530>wouldn't Your retardation is rubbing off on me!!!
>ninpedophiles shitting up another thread
>>730437129Twice the price of a Deck:/
>>730437129So fucking retarded.You can buy prebuilts that have massively better specs than this turd.
>Valve tells us it's gonna be closer to PC price than console price>Autistic people can't comprehend that means prebuilts, GAMER Prebuilds. >NOT the price of someone who hunts down deals and accepts used parts
>>730437129how retarded do you have to believe the data of some random retailer when steam directly ships their hardware there already?
>>730441497Seething tendie, right on cue like clockwork lmao
>retards ITT that don't realize steam box is upscaled dlss 3 with ray tracing, volumetric lighting and fog disabled to achieve the 4k/60fps>shits on mid tier components that could easily accomplish the exact same because gaben told them steam machine is the superior
>>730441845same retailer also lists the price of a steam deck for almost 1000 yuropoor dollars
>>730437129But what about the controller? That's all i care about
>Third party shop in third world country >Upcharges other Valve products like Steam Deck>Everyone does a direct conversion of currency>Lists the result as if that's what Valve themselves will charge
730437187Okay PCvegan. A reminder the Steam cult deck hasn't even outsold the Wii U. Valve Cultist.
>>730441874I'm not a tendie, Snoy boy
the fact that this is the boards current Superbowl shows how assblasted PC gaming makes everyone here, 100% sour grapes
>>730442469>$999 16GB GPU>$600 RAM >$1200 Steam MachinePCvegan.
>I-Its just retailer prices bro! trust the plan again!holy cope
>>730442469pc gamers are annoying
>>730437129I just want to know the price of the Frame. Steam Machine was always going to be DOA after that Linus interview.
>>730442728I can't imagine it would be anything less than $1000, either.
>>730442706feel free to find a website where they're not the majority then
>>730442640>>730442706not an argument and just validated what I said
>>730442820They already said it was cheaper than the Index, which was $1000.I'm expecting very slightly under that. Like $900.
/v/ valve and /g/ Linux troons are cults. Platform warring losers. PC gaming is buckbroken by GPU and now RAM shortages. go on say consoles too, you've been saying it for months.Bald 60 year old PC fanboy losers.
>>730439473This. You can install the entire library of GameCube, nes, and ps2 games FOR FREE when the ps5 doesn't support any of that. You can also do PC tasks like editing documents or images.Console faggots love their chains and don't understand a console is just a PC.
>>730442995Hey retard consoles are just gimped PCs and use literally the same components. Consoles don't use special magic RAM they use PC RAM.
>>730442469good point, it's literally just an entry level mini PC and somehow it becomes the center of everything
Why would this succeed where the steam machine failed? Yes it's just one retailer instead of 3rd parties making variants but the question still remains as to why would you not just get a PC in the first place.
Do consolecucks know that there are other things to do on a PC besides playing “muh games”?
>>730442995what kind of parts do consoles use, GPU and RAM. Where are the GPUs and RAM made? Buckbroken third worlder btw.
>>730442995lolconsoles are founded upon the idea of joining a cultyou sold your freedom for a discount and everything goes through one single corporation
>>730440957um... you're not allowed to post that
oh no No NO GABENBROS?!?!!?
>>730442993I will laugh my ass off if they make it $900. The Steam Frame is a sidegrade to the Quest 3. Valve tax is not worth +$400.
>>730441979It can't even use dlss 3, it has an amd apu... And zen 2/3 to boot, so no fsr 4.0
>>730437187>>730437129>$950 gaymer PC with 4k supportAm I supposed to hate it?>Nooo you need $7000 GPU with Gay Tracing and fake 4k upscaling!!!!Nah.
>>730443168this time Linux gaming is actually doable and SteamOS provides a decent UI. it also has good timing to capitalize on dislike of Windows 11.and instead of being a big pre-built, it's a cute console-like mini PC. there is already a market for these which Valve can easily slide into, same way they did with the handheld PC market.
People are saying this is fake, but originally when Linus was talking to Valve and suggested $600 they went all quiet. This makes me believe they were looking more at $700-$800. With the recent events driving up the cost of RAM and HDD/SDD getting more expensive, I can definitely see $950 being the updated price. Maybe $900, but that isn't much better.
>>730441979retard-kun, how would an AMD APU use DLSS?
>>730443204>>730443228>$5000 GPU>$1000 RAM kits>$1200 Steam Cult MachinePC vegan tears yum. baldies in your 60s.
>>730443394It supports 4K as the same way you can play games in 4K on ps5, with pisser. PSSR. UPSCALING.
>>730443168It is a PC. It's a prebuilt. The only major selling points are that it's a prebuilt with specific specs that devs can target, and it comes preloaded with SteamOS for user-friendly game optimization. You can aim for specific specs and install SteamOS on any PC, prebuilt or not, so it's mostly a convenience/price point thing.
>>730437129My computer cost me $3,000. I dunno what you're actually bitching about here mister lil' anonymous faggot.
>>730437129Czech hereeverything that concerns components or is related to vidya is VERY overpriced here because our market and goverment are controlled by kikes, this doesn't mean that it will cost 1k in burgerland or asia despite epicjeetshills trying to TORtanic this but we'll see.
>>730443478brown style stream of consciousness speechconsoles are a cult by definition, they catch you in by making it easier to enter and they're desperate to keep you there
>>730443546post passport or stfu
>>730443528I built a PC last year with a 4080 and it was only $1600. You're doing something very, very wrong.
>>730443478Why would I want to be a zoomer? Old isn't an insult like it used to be
>Steam Machine>RetailerBan everyone in this thread for being retarded.Yes, me too for replying.
>>730437129Yeah, ram costing as much as a CPU will do that
>>730443546I'm still predicting $800 for NA markets. Which is still bad, but it's better than OP's price.
>>730438000>it uses sodomy ramslmao of course fags love this gaybox with troonix
>>730437129It's still cheaper than the mini itx build i was gonna make before the Steam machine was announced.
>>730441979>gaben told them steam machine is the superiorDepends how Valve handles it, but it could end up having better driver support, especially compared to AMD.
>>730443586shut the fuck up jeet
>>730437129
>>730443791>but it could end up having better driver supportJudging from the Deck, it won't. However it'll have an army of cultists making specific patches/software for it so that is something to look forward to.
SAAAAAAAAARRS WE CANNOT REDEEM THIS AT THIS PRICE
>>730443829>thirdie mad he got called outYou will never be from the EU
>>730443829damn you literally made up you were from Czechia to batten down the cult hatches
>>730443349Valve tax is worth it just to stop using a fucking meta quest. Plus it's modular.
>>730443950unfortunately i am forced to live in the EU ( communist shithole ) but each day i pray for its destruction, European Union delenda est.
>>730443592Bait
>>730444116Sorry you're retarded. The gabecube would be perfect for you.
>>730443592Which CPU? That's about what I paid for my build
>>730443934That's more or less what game-ready drivers are.>>730443950All countries that joined the EU in 2004 or later are turd world. They were invited to cut costs for western corporations in the form of tariff-free trade and slave labor not requiring visas anymore.
>>730444230Don't forget to remove your leaf next time you post, saucenigger.
>>730443934you're a snoy cultist btw
>>730444351>That's more or less what game-ready drivers are.Not in the slightest. No amount of optimization and downgrade patches will make MHW run on the Deck for instance.
>>730444351>countries without niggers or gun glowie massacres every week are actually third worldhmm
>>730437129seriously how poor is this board
>>730437129PC, along with consoles, just continues to get cucked. gen 7 ruined everything
>>730444446No thanks fag>saucenigger??? It's this some new zoomerspeak?
>>730443349People expecting anyone to compete with Meta on price are deluding themselves.
>>730444615What color is your bugatti?
>>730444615This is a device for poors and it's pricing the poors out, that's where all of the lamentation is coming from. Rich people have no use for this thing.
>>730444670what's wrong with giving gave $1k to play shovelware, console ports, 25+ year old games, and games optimized for consoles.
>>730444675I know it's you, saucy.
>>7304431681. It is a PC2. Proton is viable and only a handful of games don't work on linux. Anticheat doesn't even stop cheaters on windows. 3. It's more powerful than the average steam user's computer. It's a upgrade for most people4. FSR will make it perform adequately.

Not due to the colonial EU becoming better, it's the old EU that's rapidly becoming poorer and dropping to our level.
>>730443025I can do that on my phone too
>>730437187I actually wasn't planning on getting one at any price since I'm happy with my current set up. But $950 is an absolute scam if true.
>>730440549your paying $500 more because it's corporation that you're supposed to suck the dick of
>>730445717Yeah but you dont lol, you just stick to your consolepig approved walled gardens
>>730440549Just install win10 or Linux, retard
>>730440549I wonder what kind of chinesium you get for that price?
>>730440549I paid more for just 3060...
>>730437129Meanwhile none of the morons falling over each other to complain, realize that since this is a Czech retailer, i.e. in the EU, the prices are VAT-inclusive. 950 USD with a ~20% luxury VAT. So ~790 USD exclusive tax. Also, there's generally a 5~10% margin of profit applied for the store itself as well, so you probably knock that down to 730~760 USD when buying directly from Valve.
>>730446426It's complete bullshit because the only retailers Valve works with to distribute hardware with now are in Japan because they're the only fags who will behave.
>>730437129KWABOTY
>>730437129fake news, there is no 512gb model

>>730438676I was hoping closer to around £600/800USD but it was obviously going to be a pricy system given it's literally a gaming PC which hover around £800~2000.I think its mostly console players in a panic that PC was going to invade their space so they see this as a win.
>>730437129Reminder the controller isn't included
>>730437129>Source: unauthorised Czech resellerCome on guys, you'rebetter than this. This is about as substantial as some random Twitter leaker.
>>730437187$1000 dollars for the 2TB model is a steal in 2026
>>730448273Good goy
The Czech store is upselling everything if you check their Steamdeck prices but the $500 dollar dream is dead. Probably $750 dollars
>>730437129Anticipated, but still disappointed.
>>730446698That hasn't been my experience but it's sort of a moot point since PC isn't limited to Steam. I preordered the fancy edition of REmake 2 from GMG for $45. They currently have the premium edition of RE9 for $5 less than what I'll be paying for the standard edition on PS5.
At that price point, you're better off buying a laptop instead.
>>730448468Anon, that guy you replied to is probably a shill completely unaware that there is a back catalog going back to 2004 and was only told to compare prices of brand new releases.
>>730447778>>730447824I see, so it's just jeets
>>730447886isnt Valve selling this to braindead retards who want a steam "console"? you cant not include a controller
>>730437129>literally no source in the original>every news site is talking about it>every news site is just an AI post summarizing reddit thread reactionsis this what accounts for gaming journalism now?
>>730437129Video game industry will have a MASSIVE market crash in 2026, the likes of which will dwarf the 1983 shitshow. Just watch, its inevitable thanks to bullshit from AI bubble causing PC parts shortages/prices to GTA6 potentially being a shit game on release.
>>730448532only if you're actually going to game on the go. docking a laptop as a desktop sucks
>>730447886I can use any of my 14 other controllers. It's a PC.
>>730437129Sonybros!We fucking won!!!!!
>>730448657They prepared a new controller but it's sold separately.>>730448748Have you noticed how investigative journalism is completely dead now? There's nobody left who can follow the trails of money, employee credentials or patents.
>>730437129That yacht will not pay alone, do you know it?
>>730448789>docking a laptop as a desktop sucksNot really.
>>730448657I mean that's the sort of weird thing, outside of Japan sort of necessarily you'll technically ALREADY have an input device since you have to buy it off of steam with an "actual" account so scalper niggers can't just buy up the entire supply.With the Deck just intrinsically it has input built in, but the actual store page makes no mention of it including a controller.
Steambros...
>>730437187Not at that price I won't. I figured this would be a shared birthday present for my kids so they could play PC game with the simplicity and cost of console games. At that price I'll just build them a PC.
you missed out
>>730448941>but the actual store page makes no mention of it including a controller.the wording is even funnier because they had a chance to mention it but didnt
>>730449045I mean for me, personally it's not really a big deal if or if it doesn't come with one, it's just weird.
>>730449029>Ryzen 5>it's just 5, okay?inb4 it's 2400 or 3500
>>730438182Does this actually work?
>>730437187no I wont, I have an actual PC
>>730449319Ryzen "anything" would be sufficient for gaming. It could be a Ryzen 5 1600 (it's not) and that would be good enough.
>>730437129Fuck it. For just $500 more, I can get a small form factor Framework desktop with 64 GB of RAM.
>>730437129This is one reason I bought a new gaming laptop for Christmas. Ryzen 9, 5070ti, 16gb of RAM for $1,300.

>1k for an objectively inferior PC>BUT IT HAS THE STEAM LOGO ON IT SO IT'S GOODkill this board
>>730449967Don't bother this board is completely co-opted with browns who only play the latest triple A slop. This board used to gatekeep normgroids a lot harder but we've been completely overrun with tik tok zoomers who just play the same 5 GAAS shooters over and over. If you want to play something outside of that they just short circuit and ignore you, or say "name 5 games you cant play on PS5" then when you do they say "all shit no one wants to play those."
>>730442995I wanna see you defend online subscription, consolcuck
>>730450165>zoomersits all millenials who defend their |insert childhood toy company|'s business practices and then attack the competition ( Valve )
>>730450150literally no one said this retard
>>730450150it has to be compared to other mini PCs to be fair. the target audience doesn't want to build a PC and also doesn't want a large prebuilt, they want something small and cute and console-like. it's a similar appeal to the Steam Deck but for people who never actually use it as a handheld
>>730449000You might want to double check prices. Just 16gb of ddr5 ram will be 15% of that price.
1000 is a lot for a dedicated gaming device. If it’s sitting in your living room, the advantage over a ps5 is basically negligible unless you pirate
>>730450165Should have used the valve mascot
>>730450573When I was a kid I used to be perpetually butthurt about missing out on everything due to being raised by a poor single mother. Now looking at my batshit insane peers, I'm glad I was never inducted into brand loyalty cults or nostalgic cults of garbage games.
Don't know why anyone is acting like this is unbelievable. Linus asked Valve if it will be $600 and they said no. So at best it was going to be $700. With the insane RAM prices lately, I could easily see it being $900.
>>730450671with the ~30-40% markup that means the steam frame will be really cheap wtf
>>730449670Terrifying...
I don't need it, my 3080 plays everything I need it to play anyways and I don't give a fuck about muh grafix, I'll just get a PS6 or whatever when there's new games I want to play that require an upgrade.
>>730450956Linus threw a fit when he wasn't given the exclusive scoop to monetize and his entire career history should tell you not to trust a single fucking word coming out of his mouth.
>>730450671>why is it even on retailers anyway? valve ships within europe just fineSame reason why you can (or could) buy a Steam Deck at gamestop. Getting it into the public market is extremely important and is ironically the number one thing Deckfags asked for hoping it would overtake Switch sales in Bestbuy and Costco and such.
>>730451175You can cope all you want, but if you've accepted it was going to be above $600 then $900 in the current climate is not unbelievable at all. If you're still (delusionally) holding onto the hope that it will be sub $600 then sure, keep dreaming. Maybe Valve will sell it at a big loss like the OG Deck.
>>730437129>I got called a retard in other threads for saying you're a fool if you thought it was going to be under 900 us dollars. I TOLD YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS. I FUCKING TOLD YOU. APOLOGIZE RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
>>730437187why would I buy a linux shitbox?
>>730450009what's wrong with this?
>>730451317sorry sir
>>730451301>Okay but you need to get angry and scream at the Valve sir I have talked the tech tip I am the reasonable now it will be $7000 and youIf it costs too much I won't buy it, if it costs what I want to pay for it I will as it stands literally neither of us know what they'll actually charge for it take your niggerfaggot antishill speculatory bullshit to Tyler McNigger, I don't give a shit how much the admins were paid to let you be this much of a retard go fuck yourself.
>>730451572I love how you just crafted a completely random strawman to seethe at. You're not even trying to hide it. Have a good day, Ranjesh.
>>730451638>Sir you are now the indians for not having a fake conversation about a speculative price that my owner has deemed unreasonableFuck off retard.
>>730451481The article says that under the best conditions, fungal matrix still has an error rate of 10%. That much data corruption is completely unacceptable. Imagine surveillance networks (which are fucked up in their own right, but already part of current reality) in which mushrooms hallucinate 10% of data gathered about the cattle subjects.
>>730450956Steam also discontinued the LCD steam deck so the minimum price for a steamdeck is now $550 dollars. So Valve is putting it into everyones mind that this price point is okay, so expecting like $7-750 and $900 for 2TB
DOA
>>730450834>the advantage over a ps5 is basically negligible unless you pirateUnless you already have a Steam library.If my PC wasn't too old to play new stuff my PS5 would just be a Demon's Souls machine.
>>730451806>$7-750 and $900 for 2TB
730451725I said have a nice day, Ranjesh. Stop playing so desperate for my attention.
>>730451738>mushrooms hallucinate 10% of data gatheredso you're saying it's already superior to AI?
>>730451175Linus is a freemason merchant salesman. Gamers nexus picked up the slack when linus went full corpo shill.
>>730437129Should've been the Steam Deck 2. I can't justify a $950 stationary box.
>>730452203AI parses existing information and generates new bullshit on the go, that's more in line with fabricating evidence or deliberately twisting statistics. Surveillance networks are upstream from AI, they're supposed to collect accurate information that needs to be processed.

>>730437129>weaker than base ps5>twice as expensive Steamkeks will eat shit if it have valve’s logo on it
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>the last 3 posts were definitely organic saar
>>730437187NO
>>730437187Nope. It has laptop components which are weaker than their PC equivalent.Fairly sure you can get a PC at that price with better specs.

>>730453028ps5 is going to get a price hike too
>>730449670But can it play Doom?
>>730453028But it actually has games. DOS machine from 30 years ago is also better than a PS5 btw.
my current pc is>rx 6600>5700x>32gband I can play pretty much everything, even shit like wilds plays comfortably enough with decent graphics, how much better is a gabebox compared to my pc? I'm rarted when it comes to puters but I'm curious because it's so much smaller than my PC lol
>>730453842Don't buy it. It's about half as powerful as your computer. The target market for the GameCube is the 72% of steam users with computers less powerful than it. It's not meant to compete with EPIC PC GAMERS.
>>730453842It will be almost the same thing but with 7600 instead. The cube just increases the chances that going forward devs will set the minimum requirements to something that's very similar to your specs.
>>730453543Do you have a build? Just curious.
>>730437129Didn't we already have a gamecube?
>>730437129That's far cheaper than the current PC meta. This shit's gonna sell like hotcakes.
>>730454087>half as powerful as your computerholy fuark nvm
>>730447343it's worse, it will use FSR ...
>>730454302It's older than majority of /v/ posters.
>>730454430thats better though
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK BOUT NO CUBE OR CONTROLLER JUST GIVE ME MY STEAM FRAME ALREADY I WANT TO GET INTO VR
>>730446626Literally on steam store page, two models 512 gb and 2 tb
>>730454232Not the anon but just made one to compare.Damn, prices are too high. Glad I bought mine before the AI scheme
>>730455197That build definitely blows the Gabecube. If I am not wrong the 4060 is stronger than the Steam GPU so the 5060 runs circles around it.
>>730455197Just go with AM4, it's still going to be better than the cube.
>>730446698>he doesn't even understand that he pays for online
>>730455532I was doing AM5 because the Steam Machine is using DDR5 Ram
Anyone else tired of Microjeets shitting up Steam threads and Snoyjeets shitting up Nintendo threads? Why don't these street shitting pajeets have a containment board outside of /v/?
>>730446698Standard AAA PC game price is $50. Most high quality PC games are $30 or less. Massive bundles where you can buy the entire valve collection for $200. Regular sales where games are 50% off or more. You are never ever ever locked into a "generation" of games. I can play elder scrolls daggerfall or starcraft from the 90s then play half life 2 then boot up a modern AAA if I want. Emulation is free. I can do work like document or photo editing, or generate AI porn locally.Consoles cannot be compared to PC.
>>730455535>he doesnt understand he gets free games to play in return
>>730443184Consoles are for blue collar slaves. Anything they would do with a PC they can do with their phone instead. Until their phones can run FIFA they will keep buying game boxes.
>>730455852>pay>it's freeGenuinely retarded lmao
>>730440670The price should be lower for a machine that uses linux distro as opposed to non-free wangblows 11. If the steamcube costs a lot more, it has no excuse OS-wise.
>>730455976As opposed to not getting the games and just paying for the online, retard?
>>730456149As opposed to just getting games for free on Steam or the EGS, fucking moron
>>730455197Eh, I would spend 20-30 bucks for a better PSU but yeah this is fairly decent and more powerful.
>>730456205>freeKeep telling yourself that
>>730456259Cope and seethe, snoyTheir free games are to lure customers, they're objectively free beyond that
>>730445989You destroyed him so hard he left the thread KEK
>>730439662That can't be real. That's brutal. I have 5070ti, am I going to coast safely on ultra even when PS6 releases?
>>730443025Anon, I'm PC master race but come on. A console peasant is literally just pressing a button to have the console do everything, which to us might be a downside, but I get the appeal. Plus a shared SKU gets them better optimization, they pay less for compute if we are honest about it.
>>730455829>I can play elder scrolls daggerfall or starcraft from the 90s then play half life 2You can do that on a shitty decade old laptop, you don't need a gaming PC to play fucking Starcraft. I love how all you retards argue as if people who own a console don't have a single computer in their homes.>I can do work like document or photo editingNO ONE is buying a Gabecube to edit word documents, what the fuck is this argument?
>>730453703Reminder that mushrooms/fungi can create communications networks between plants.The biggest mushrooms are located in Oregon. Valve HQ is located in the nearby state, Washington. Coincidence? I think not.
>>730446308Probably for 12GB with more robust radiator.
>>730447886These kind of posts is the proof that retards still try to relate the steambox to a console.
>>730437129I can build a computer that over doubles the performance of that cuckbox for less than that, even at current prices, sad!
That's what a 32gb 6000 ddr5 kit costs right now lmao.
>>730457384Then do it.
>>730456561>Seethe about all these free games im not getting

>>730457127i guess you can run it with your imagination
>>730441979Shit, it would almost be worth it if it supported dlss... But it doesn't even do that, and AMD are being gay with fsr 4.

>>730443394...you somehow think that the steam machine doesnt have upscaling technology? It even has the worst one there is lmao

>>730456953>um but I already have a PCThen why are you using a console?>NO ONE buys PCs to do PC thingsAnd that's why you're a console sitter.
>>730437129>czech lmao yeah its going to be expensive in a third world country
You won't be getting a Steam Machine anyway.They'll all be sold out to companies who'll strip the RAM and throw the rest of the units into the trash.
>>730457578How's this confusing, if it's an anti-Nintendo thread, it's Snoys, if it's an anti-Valve thread, it's Microslops. Sony wants to go after Nintendo next gen, Microsoft wants to go after Valve next gen. If both are making similar hardware to what Nintendo and Valve are currently doing, it makes sense for these two rejects to be shitting on them to stop any form of positivity on either of them. It's not working though because when Sony and Microsoft were pulling this shit on each other, it was because one was actually pro-consumer and the other was acting anti-consumer, now these two anti-consumer retards are going after the two pro-consumer companies they're facing while giving us consoles/PCs with less games, less efficiency, and costs more money while being woker than a faggot in Pride month.
>>730458475Shills on all sides will be in overdrive now. Everyone except Nintendo has a new platform that was supposed to come out soon. Nobody hinted at the prices or backwards compatibility and their PR teams are actively dodging any questions about the relation between new consoles/cube and DRAM prices going to shit. The first company that reveals new prices might be the biggest loser, because plebs always swoop down on the first thing that's out of line with their expectations and completely ignore the second and third guy who does the same exact anti-consumer thing.
>>730458306>>730458475>BLOODY BASTARD BITCH LEAVE NINTENDO ALONEfuck off
>>730458232a lot of people don't actually want portability and always play their Deck/Switch docked. that's why they're making this
>>730437129lol
>>730437129No way it costs that much, you can get a full AMD prebuilt that leaves this piece of shit in the dust for the same price or less.Hell laptops in the same price range are better AND come with a screen, keyboard and "mouse", if that's the real price range this will be an even worse flop than the first Steam Machine.
>>730459295those prices are unfortunately common in here>t. Czech
>>730437187>Valve drone projecting his compulsive worshiping habits thinking everyone is a big of a stooge as he isBtw Gabe bought a $500m new yacht to add to his collection and now he's overcharging retards like you.
>>730459295>you can get a full AMD prebuilt that leaves this piece of shit in the dust for the same price or less.Only while the old prebuilt stocks from before price hikes last. By Q2 they should be sold out and jews will restock according to updated component prices.
>>730459415>communist kike seething about Gaben case number 667778get a job commie
>>730437531Why does it look like he shoved his hand up somebody's ass?
>>730458983This doesn't work because we already know most jeets are snoys.
>>730458331Anon it's Sodimm ram. 16 gig kit. Nobody will pay 1000 usd to recover 200 usd of ram
I mean you can keep posting these epic win threads and fill them with super funny epic reaction images, green texts and whatever but promise you will blowjob a shotgun when the real price (as in,not the third retailer price) will release in a few weeks
Incidentally but not totally related, it'd probably only make sense for nintendo retards to post over here since don't both the Playstation and Xbox have actual social features still instead of offloading it to like, twitter and shit?
>>730461363
>>730438000Hasn't stopped the Chinese from scalping cards and grafting the memory onto other GPUs for AI data centers
Steam drones love getting fucked in the ass by Gabe.
>>730438825People expected a maximum $800 before the AI shit began happening.
>>730437129So, on par with consoles by the time it releases?
Can it do 4k? Or are we stuck with 1080p for another decade.
Maybe if it had 12gb of vram I'd care more about the whole thing, but 8gb is unusable in any modern games.
>>730462512lol nothey claim it's "4K Capable", but there's no way a gimped RX 7600 with 8GB of VRAM is going to achieve that
>>730462512Yes it's going to run 1080p upscale. Most steam users are on 1080p anyways. >>730462597Not for 1080. It's fine. Quit chasing specs.
Why are people thinking this is definitive and not accounting for markup price?
>>730462089I'm beginning to think the $600 price tag was created and spread by competitors' shills, to build completely retarded and unrealistic expectations that no company could ever meet and prepare potential customers to be disappointed and angry when real prices are revealed.
>>730437129Guess I'm getting a series x now
>>730462512>>730462597It's honestly funny to hear retards like you say that when my current desktop is weaker than the gabecube and I've been gaming in 4k for years.Not that it really adds much in gaming, aside from like.SPECIFICALLY, in TF2 ware I always beat everyone at the WANTED minigame because I have really good clarity, and playing modded minecrap is nice because the UI doesn't have to be fucking huge to read shit because mod developers can't into design.
>>730462692Same reason they alternate between saying>Valve can't price it lower or they'll lose money!and>look at this prebuilt/pcpartpicker rig that mogs it for less!they don't have to make sense anon
>>730439662>The Playstation 5 GPU is a high-end gaming console graphics solution by AMD, It features 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs.>AMD Radeon RX 6700: 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs.>GTX 1060 6GB performance related to RX 6700: 49%...., nigger.
>>730449219They expect you to buy the controller separately.
>>730462692The only people actually asserting this is a real price are retarded shills who don't know shit as basic as>Valve only sells Steam Hardware directly off their storefront outside of an incredibly small roster of Japanese affiliates.
>>730462512If my 5070 can't run Cyberpunk at 1080p all settings without dips under 60fps, GabeCube has no chance of anything close to native 4K.>>730462795>and I've been gaming in 4k for years.Congrats, you're playing old as fuck shit.
>>730463069THEY NEVER SAID IT WOULD BE NATIVE 4K
>>730463069>Congrats, you're playing old as fuck shit.Oh no I can't play Cyberpunk, a game literally only known for being a buggy piece of shit that even according to your screenshot still looks like shit with a 5070 running it.
>>730462597On old games and games with upscaling even an Xbox One can output at 4K. This isn't a PS5 8K situation where nothing plays anywhere close to 8K, upscaled or not. The Steam Machine will be able to play games at 4K, just not native or recent. There is not a single console on the market right now that can play modern games at 4K native. Even 4090s have to compromise.
>>730437129>retailerI thought steam does all their hardware sales on their own platform, which is why thirdies have always seethed about the index and such not shipping everywhere globally
>>730437129NintenGODS won
>>730463069>If my 5070 can't run Cyberpunk at 1080p all settings without dips under 60fps, GabeCube has no chance of anything close to native 4K.Well yes but this is a retarded metric because path tracing kills frames on literally any GPU ever and it wasn't even something that was included on release, but instead added via later updates for "future hardware" (kek). 4K's hit to frame rates is nothing in comparison. You could probably get away with 4K @ low with 30fps on the Steam Machine (which is better than console quality) if the GPU is anything like the RX 7600. But Valve advertises it as 4K with FSR anyway, so you could probably use it to get 60.
>>730463069My new 5090 can handle 4K cyberpunk at around 60fps but it isn't stable. I can hit over 150 frames using slopframes though.
>>730464162Not him but is 30fps 4k playable? I guess eventually you'd get used to 30fps. Hmm..
It'll run Half-Life 3, what more do you want
>>730459775>two weeks ago: The Steam Machine won't cost $700, Lord Gaben will make it $500-600>Now: hurr durr what are you a poorfag for not paying for an overpriced proprietary computer? Like clockwork with you fags.
>>730464453>is 30fps 4k playable?30fps sub-4K seems to be playable on the current gen consoles, yes.
>>730464453I was playing CP2077 at 30-40fps with a controller prior to an upgrade. Shit feels ass with a mouse though. Probably is the main reason Valve is positioning the Steam Machine more as a living room gaming device w/ the new Steam Controller, than used at the desk.
>>730464710Both of those were probably you.Anyone that isn't a human tumor is waiting for an actual price instead of making them up in their head to scream at Valve because they feel threatened by it.
>>730464796Oh I've heard of this phenomena before. I wonder what black magic controllers do that makes them okay to use in low fps as compared to a mouse.
>>730464926Game input polling isn't tied to the frame rate (generally, not as a hard and fast rule), and even low end mice poll at much higher frequency than a control stick, and poorly configured sensitivity can lead to the game doing a lot of "catch up" to get to your actual mouse position leading to overshooting.It's basically the entire reason behind why frameskipping can even work.
>>730437187I will not as always so fuck off kike
>>730455852Yeah but you can argue that piracy is almost a superior form of this. Playstation Plus just dropped Doom Eternal, which is 5 years old. You could have gotten it for free weeks after release on PC.
>>7304433944k lmao it will struggle at 1080pwith it's dogshit 2023 specs
>>730464926It's because control sticks are a second-order input device compared to a mouse. You're inputting a deflection which turns into a velocity, which is then integrated into angular position. As opposed to a mouse, which is directly displacement into angular position. Your brain already has to do the calculus with a controller, it just folds a lot of the input lag into the integration error.
>>730465061>Game input polling isn't tied to the frame rateThat's literally how 99% of games are designed.
>>730465960If you do that you're stupid.
>>730438825I was always expecting $800-900, ram prices went up 80+% sinceps5 pro is 749 and that is subsidised by subscription and owning the store
>>730466524PS5 Pro is also shit source me I waited up for the day 1 drop loopooolĺd
>>730463069what fucking settings are you running? I'm playing 4k on a 4070ti and it looks leaps better than this
>>730466023We don't game on RTOS. It's the most obvious and usually fastest way to do it.
>everyone is indian XDgetting tired of those faggots
>>730466881Yup and physics engines normally work backwards from your frame rate to some constant so it doesn't get fucky as frame rates fluctuate.
>>730446698Lol, you are absolutely delusional. PlayStation store doesn't have good sales at all anymore.

Its soldered CPU AND RAM; the RAM is especially for all those who want to buy a MacMini with 128GB of RAM or whatever, but Framework is less proprietary and slightly cheaper but still overpriced and soldered. Its not remotely a good idea for gaming PC really, and the GPU is basically a RDNA3 powered integrated without even the possibility that Valve will do like they did for the Steam Deck and have a unique SoC (at the time it launched/announced, nothing else could have Zen2 cores + RDNA2 except an XboxSeries X / PS5 , as compared to any SFF PC SoC etc) .
>>730468003Holy shit, you're legitimately fucking retarded.
>>730468003We KNOW who is the only fuckers Valve partners with to sell at retail, and it's not some random fucks in the czech republic,
>>730468109And Valve can't possibly want to expand their reach by offering it to more retailers, if there is one thing we know for sure it's that companies hate expansion.

It's amazing how thirsty /v/ is for another TORtanic. I'm not surprised when consolefags keep getting the same 20 year old games sold to them as remasters for $70 a pop. I'd be bored too if I had nothing to play.

>>730438825people can cope however they want here but linux fags, like always by the way, are fucking delusional, yes steam deck was considered successful by valve standards, but it would be a vita or wii u tier flop compared to actual consoles, and I doubt this stupid cube thing will do much betterthe fact that that alone pushed the needle for linux users, apparently some article said 20% of linux on steam are steam deck people or something, goes to show how fucking little adoption there is, and no amount of coping will change thatpeople can piss and cry about win 11 all they want, but they're going to end up using it one way or another, maybe some 10 holdouts will jump ship to 12 or something if that ships before the final final final support period ends for that, but either way that's still windowsthere's no serious linux movement, no 2 more weeks for mass adoption, none of that shit, hardware survey shows 94.23% windows, it's not close at all, you have all these loud gamers shouting at phantoms, making "their voices heard", when microsoft is probably that meme with "I don't think about you at all"
Is this worth it, bros?
>>730438676People convininced themselves Gabe would have some backdoor (hurr) deal with the Chinks building it, unfortunately he doesn't.Sucks, because I'd get one if the price was what the Deck 256 LED was day-one ($700), but no way in hell am I paying "build your own mid-range PC a decade ago" pricing for a pre-built that can't be broken down/upgraded piece-meal.If it was the original "Machines"/ATX sizing? Maybe, but no way in hell am I buying a six inch cube for $1,000+.

>>730479335Why the hell would I care about adoption rates when Valve is making games that matter (read: nothing with kernel anti-cheat) playable on the OS?I get to be free of the Microslop Explorer.exe Start-up process plantation. Not my fucking problem the rest of the slaves are still on it.

>>730437473But this is not a proper computer because you can only play steam games on it.So it is a console.
>>730437129I'm poor and broke and this sounds like a fair price for a whole computer. I recently paid 600 just for a mid video card. Cheaper than a gaming laptop.
>>730480919>he thinks Indians are smart enough to generate their own porn instead of paying some slop factory on subscribestar half their paycheck for AI porn
>>730462512Didn't Valve mentioned 4K using FSR performance in the reveal trailer?
>>730437187Who the fuck is going to buy this waste of plastic and silicon?It's just a mediocre PC and doesn't offer anything of value for anyone who is into PC gaming and it's $950 buck is too expensive for people buying consoles.
>any leak coming out of east europe/russiaIt's fake.
>>730471162>A small box with R&D behind it will be cheaper than a shit box with OEM partsLOL this has to be bait, you can't actually be this retarded.
If Valve was smart, they would sell this at a considerable loss and make up for said loss by the fact that everyone who buys this is going to be using the money they saved on Steam games, which goes right into Valve's pocket. They have a golden opportunity being that they are the number 1 provider of games for this system.In the end I don't care though. As long as Half Life 3 gets released as a launch title, then the Steam Machine was just a sacrifice for the real treasure here.
>>730478956I do. I'm doing UE5 development and even 64GB hasn't been enough lately.
>>730482090Just say fuck it and make it 100 bucks they literally print money out of thin air 24/7 idk wtf they even need to profit on anything else for tbqh
>>730478956Even just for small AI-workloads, 128GB is the minimum of what you should be buying.
>>730482337They should undercut any other console on the market but not go further. That'd be the smart play. That way when Sony and Microsoft start trying to lower their prices to compete, Valve can just keep undercutting them at every turn. It'd generate a lot of media buzz and make Valve out to be based as fuck.Valve should just hire me as their director of sales at this point.
>paying 1000 dollars for something that runs like rtx3060Only Steamies will eat that shit up
>>730437129A STEAMING TURD
for context, this is the kind of jank gaming mini PC that the Steam Machine is competing with. it'll easily become the go-to recommendation in this market, like how the Steam Deck did with handheld PCs
>>730482534lmao poorfag
>>730437129I better see thousands of videos and articles about how Valve are greedy and ruining gaming just like there were for the Switch 2 being 449.99
>>730482528>Xbox has already suicided itself>Snoy and Tendo will be engaging in cult like programming to squeeze what little blood they can out of the diehard fanaticsMight as well go for gold at this point when the new normal is looking to make serfs out of everyone involved.
>>730437129I will pick one up because I’m curious about emulation with it and other odds and ends… but PS5 Pro and PS5 offer better value and/or just build a PC. I don’t really see a mass market adoption of this at $1k, but who knows.
>>730437129>google screencap threadgo back
>>730483131Microsoft killed the Xbox console because they got scared shitless of Valve, Xbox was never important to them, but they finally decided to use its real name "DirectX Box" to use by putting Xbox where they wanted it back in 2001 on PC. Next gen Xbox and the companion handheld will launch in the Xbox full screen experience while also having a Windows 11 Desktop. They will lock it down so you won't be able to install SteamOS on them and it'll be curated so you'll have to use Windows to download and install the storefronts if you want them so badly. They'll also have backward compatibility with past Xbox consoles while the OEMs won't. They'll boot up like Xbox consoles and not like the ROG Xbox Ally. Microsoft is doing all of this to compete with Valve but it will cost more.10th generation is Sony vs Nintendo console war and Microsoft vs Valve pc war.
Playstation6 is guaranteed to be over a grand, too. Although Snoy might be thinking they can hold off releasing it for another year or two until hardware prices come down. And they should considering PS5 never even got any killer apps to justify its existence
>>730437129>may have been leaked>3rd worlder in easter euro inidia country is a trusted leakers saar trustI'll wiat to hear official info. >>730437187I would, my limit is $1.2
>>730483670That wouldn't even be a war it would be a slaughter, no one actually wants to use the GWFL/Windows store/Xbox app garbage. Even you admit they would have to lock it down to prevent people from putting Steam on it, while Valve isn't afraid of people putting an xbox app on the deck.I suppose price is the one remaining thing they'd have, and they could subsidize it if it's actually locked down. I guess we'll see.
