>>741730786
I wanted a gaming mini PC because my desk space is only fit for a laptop, and I don't want a full midtower sitting awkwardly on the floor. $1000/1300+ is too much for what Valve is offering though. I might as well spend a couple hundred bucks extra and get a Framework desktop with 64gb of memory.

>>741730642
the steam deck makes the machine irrelevant sadly, this would be worth having if it had an upgrade path but sadly it's all soldered in and underpowered for most current games

this isn't a selling point

Yeah, not for brown "people"

i am too sensible to buy pc parts knowing that ram supplies would get shorted before the end of the time

>>741732162
No I mean it literally is not a selling point. You can install steamOS yourself, it's compatible with any current AMD specs and they're working on support for Intel/nVidia too

>>741732269
Good thing i didn't claim steam os by itself was the selling point.

>>741732547
you could just get a miniPC and install steamOS on it, so the only real selling point is the fancy case valve designed.

>>741732701

People were willing to pay a premium for a better experience, now you pay out the ass for the exact same shit performance as consoles.

My melanin enriched individual, why would I spend that much money on an inferior product when I can spend roughly the same amount on a better product? I'm legitimately curious why this specific, cube shape is something that you need. Not want, need. And I don't know about anybody else, but I've been using premium headphones for the better part of a decade, Audeze, Sennheiser and shit, so that apparent low operating noise is a complete nothingburger.

Added. You need to go get your updated shill response script.

It is amusing to consider that much of the constant complaining on this board would disappear overnight if you all weren't brokies and had access to a high-end PC for gaming.
There would be no more crying about path tracing or DLSS, nor any bitching remarks about 4K resolution being a meme. Your games would function optimally without the need to adjust settings, simply select “ultra 4K” and away you go.

But you fucks deserve your misery

No. PC gaming has always been the most price conscious and price sensitive. It's always been about value, price/performance, features/modularity, etc. Things that console gaming takes away from you and overcharges. And the Steam Machine proves this point. Valve is not synonymous with PC gaming, it's always just been the most reasonable at the moment.

GabeCube doesn't represents PC master race.
In fact, it's a somewhat expensive low end PC.
IF a customer knows how to build a PC, they can build a more powerful PC without that much thermal limitations and power limitations in almost the same size.
I really don't know why are they pushing so hard with this outdated, expensive piece of hardware. It's not like they can do the same as console manufacturers since they don't have the same power nor can sell the first units at loss since they need to recover the money from each PC hardware they do right away.
It was fine with them limiting themselves to joysticks and VR headsets. Maybe they should've gone for keyboards and mouse too.

There is a reason valve tried to cope by saying the steam cube was designed around the median of their hardware reports: most drones are fucking poor. Why do you think there are constant threads on buying absolute literal slop on sale for $5 just to pad their owned games?

>>741730642
The console gamers looking at PC gaming are the people looking to buy (and complaining about the price of) Steam Machines. Real PC gamers build their own system.

>>741735476
Even the original $750 price is overpriced. It's weaker than a PS5. I thought this was DOA from the start after Valve said it wouldn't be priced like a console.

“I’m going to pay more for this spec PC than anywhere else because it has my favorite brand’s name on it.”

It feels like whenever someone compares it to a console’s value, the response is “it’s not a console, it’s a PC!” and when someone mentions that it’s a poor option for being a PC, they comment on how it’s meant as an alternative to consoles in the living room.

So the financial incentive would be to establish which space they’re trying to do business in. If it’s the mini PC space, then price it accordingly. If it’s the console space then maybe pack in a controller. Right now I’m the one without financial incentive to engage because I can do either better elsewhere.

>>741741661
>then price it accordingly
It is.

the problem isn't the price, it's the value. i dropped 3k to build a pc two years ago, that was more money but a good value for what i was getting. 1k for this thing that's gonna struggle to hit 60 FPS at 1080p for games that came out last year is a scam. 8 GB of vram is enough to call this thing DOA even if it was $500

i was only interested because of the form factor, would be nice to have a small pc to put in the living room and use for some light gaming but probably mostly streaming/youtube shit, but 1k for something that will barely be able to run whatever comes out the same year the machine was made is just too absurd

Look, Nvidia goes out of it's way to make it's hardware shit on Linux cause it's getting fat kickbacks from Microshart.
We all know it.
Microshit has absolutely ruined itself with this AI bullshit and W11 has been less then worthless,. It's so bad that entire chunks of the first world and much of the third are jumping onto linux and hacked(because the sourcecode is out there now)versions of older windows.

Gabe can personally pay the best linux devs in the world to work on and maintain/use the steam name and good will to get help from shadetree devs to build and constantly update and enforce the SteamOS.
Imagine downloading the SteamOS from a linux repositor and getting a fully functional out of the box mini linux instal that has all of the basics and boots directly into a version of steam that has a list of games that can run perfectly well on your hardware and links to streaming media.

It's a wrap.
It's over. They can turn Ewaste into functional machines/media centers/game machines almost immmediately.

The only hardware they should even consider selling are variosu versions of the steam controller.
WHICH comes with the steam os and storage space for games and saves. Maybe even stream lower resource hungry games to televisions.

It makes no goddamned sense to make a 1k console WITHOUT A CONTROLLER in this market.
It's ridiculous.

>>741746321
*One* console is $1,000 if you include the disc drive add-on and sales tax. A console which doesn't offer enough of an upgrade over the base model to be worth it for most people.

this has been fixed for like a month now, if you use the latest drivers and latest vkd3d you will not get performance loss in dx12 games using nvidia GPUs on Linux. the only. the only downside to Nvidia on Linux now is the ease of installation of drivers because you have to go out of your way to install like 3 packages.

Steam Machine is a pre-built PC and so it's only worth it if the price-to-performance ratio is good. It's not bad for a pre-built but most people expected for Valve to make it competitive with building your own PC. Otherwise they are not really delivering anything new.

>>741759207
Consoles are on a path toward becoming prohibitively expensive too.
Possibly because "they" want a % of gamers to become priced out of owning hardware and playing games locally, and for them to shift over to cloud streaming subscription services as the more affordable alternative. You will own nothing and be happy and eat the bugs and live in the pod.

>>741730642
>What happened to the PC master race?
When the "PC Master Race" meme started, a good videocard cost $200 and a high end was $300-350. They used less than 200W at peak and if you considered them noisy you could fit third party gpu heatsinks.

Today RAM costs $1000 and a decent GPU starts at $600. And the GPU uses up to 600W and a shitty connector that will melt over time. CPUs need 360mm waterloops to keep them cool and they too are built so they die over time due to faulty construction.

I'm happy gaming on my $200 8600G, and luckily I bought RAM before the prices blew up. Fuck the PC gaming industry, it's dead.

>>741759448
Isn't the sudden viability of PC gaming handhelds over the past 5 years or so partly to do with improvements in power efficiency, where a device can run off a battery when it couldn't before? Why doesn't that seem to be reflected in desktop GPU power draw?

>>741759595
They are probably designed the GPUs poorly, as a joke.

>>741758893
if game devs want to survive they will need to sell a product which can run on most hardware. so really, if this is the end of PC hardware, then we have it really good. It's the kids who haven't built a pc yet that are kind of screwed and would have been hoping the steam machine might save them

Oh, counter to this, the equivalent RX 9070 XT can still be more easily found for around $700 or less right now.

>>741730642
Valve exposed the reality of the mustard race.
The shit machine is more powerful than 70% of the steam userbase. Most PCs are poorfags playing pirated or dirt cheap fomo pixelcrap games on shit hardware. This will not only forever leaves a stain on the reputation of Valve but exposes the pcfags. It is locked down shit tier hardware like a console but without the advantages of the consoles. They must hate it but it is also coming from Gaben they worship.

>>741760123
So why don't they buy a console? A low tier PC can't play new games better, modding is extremely limited because you need stronger hardware even for shit games. To pirate $10 indies or to play 30 years old roms? You can do that on a used office workstation.

>>741761890

It's in your own pic. If you have the room pc is still the superior platform but lets say you don't have room for a pc setup
For 1000 bucks you get something that kind of beats gaming laptops and uses even less physical space
I'm doubtful it can pull good performance without a proper PSU but it competes with consoles, peasants that don't even care about reaching 60fps won't seriously notice using hw at a fraction of it's capacity
So all in all you get something smaller than a console, better than a console, with a larger catalog of free games, can be used as a computer on the side.
All for a couple more bucks than a ps5 pro that you'll certainly get back after pirating a couple of games. If you play intensively you probably would be getting a full refund of the steam machine in a single year of pirating while on ps you'd be on a 1800 bill or so
That's a bargain, you'd had to be a fat retard to even consider a console having this bargain available

Valve knows PC prices are about to skyrocket even more, so they’re launching a PC that stays affordable for most people who might be priced out once component costs keep climbing.
