sam altman is just a useful puppet from the self-proclaimed anti-christ. has since largely fled to argentina, and you notice immediate reduction in influence in vance and altman.
“There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!” — Mario Savio, 1964
I'm not sure why everyone is so upset about the price.
It's a gaming computer with steam on it.
It's significantly less than a gaming rig with similar specs that you can custom build.
It's a really good product for the price.
A PS5 pro blows this out of the water for a lower price. This thing has less performance than a base PS5.
Valve targeted a price/performance point that did not exist anymore. They advertised 4k/60FPS, you're just not getting that with this box. They ended up targeting 1080p. As component prices got more expensive they ended up compromising on performance to keep the cost somewhat manageable, but ended up in a very unfavorable part of the price/performance curve. That's why it's so underwhelming to people.
You can build an equivalent or more powerful pc for slightly less than this. But if you're willing to shell out a couple hundred more, you get a multiple of the performance this thing offers. It's outcompeted on both price and performance.
I was quite hyped to get one of these but I'm not shelling out that money for what you get right now. I'd rather spend a little bit more to get something that will actually last and stay relevant for a few more years.
Baby Sam Altman in my eyes joined the list of Baby Hitler, Baby Stalin, Baby Elon Musk, and Baby whoever the fuck came up with the idea that we must turn western democracies into christian fascist states.
I appreciate that nobody used the weapon of our enemy to make this.
Get me a piece of paper and a pencil. We can play hangman or X's and O's, and not have to shell out hugely gross amounts of our hard earned cash. Everyone should start carrying a paperback novel and a deck of cards in their back pocket again. How about now tech bros? Can you cheat us now? Soon you will not be able to afford all of that hair product you use.
I guess I would buy this if I was a huge gamer, but I game on my pc and it's fine.
Why? You can buy an Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 for like $1,300 with a 2 year warranty. A QHD oled 240hz screen, 32gig ram, 1tb ssd with room for a second, 275HX, 5070ti. And it's a laptop so you can just unplug it and do whatever wherever in one unit.
I know they're going for the super compact convenient thing but that's a hell of a premium for what they're selling.
"Hell of a premium"? The steam machine cost roughly like the build i made to match their power
A 5070ti mobile is not a 5070ti. the makor thing is 4GB more VRAM, performance wise hiw much stronger is it at 60W GPU TDP? Maybe 25%?
That laptop is also 25% more expensive with an inferior and louder cooling system. The screen is redundant for the living room, 16GB RAM on Linux are still ok for gaming, this isn't Windows. SSD capacity is inconcenience but not a oerformance issue.
So yeah, I would say, the laptop is certainly comoetitive performance wise but it is not a rrpkacement for a compact silent living room PC.
That's not the lmao part
In performance, it's just a mid-tier 6600XT-6700 equivalent.
Even a 6600XT is so overkill I have a RX 580 with a DDR3-era processor, and most games run at over 60 FPS, hell Elite Dangerous run fine at 80-85 FPS
I really struggle to understand why that much compute is needed for gaming It just comes as wasteful for me
Even a 6600XT is so overkill
I game on a 1440p ultrawide monitor at my desk, and a 4k TV (though I don't actually game at 4k). I upgraded from a 6700XT to a RX 9070 after Expedition 33 ran like shit and couldn't run constant 60 fps on high settings even when dropped to 1080p with FSR. A 6600XT is hardly overkill.
Also, it's hardly wasteful when my 9070 performs better, yet runs cooler and actually has a lower tdp / wattage than the 6700 XT did.
I blame the competitive gamers that barely understand what theyre doing. I seen guys complaining about their frame rates dropping below 120 on a 2k display.
Maybe, something higher than 120 provides an advantage to players with extreme reactive skills in the most intense close quarter first-person combat, but there otherwise wouldnt be a reason to sustain anything above 120. I dont think there are any monitors that refresh above 120.
Imagine bottlenecking 200+ frames a second, at 2k resolution, through a 60 hertz monitor. What a waste of gpu.
I dont think there are any monitors that refresh above 120.
I'm sorry what are you talking about? I have a 240Hz monitor and you can easily buy one with over 500Hz. And 240 feels so much smoother than 120, even in story heavy games.
Yeah, wtf. I have a cheap (or was cheap at the time) LG 1440p ultrawide, nothing fancy, and it can do up to 165 Hz.
I see. I hope you’ve optimized your gpu, otherwise you could be burning out that thing for no good reason. The science behind how much visual information the brain can process is ongoing. I guess the consensus is that humans can process as much as 200 frames a second with some suggesting that a person could reach 1000 frames a second. That last one sounds ridiculous to me.
It's funny you blame competitive gamers who don't understand what they're doing, yet don't seem to know how any of this works.
Higher refresh rates reduce frame timing, reducing both visual and input latency. It's why a game at 30 fps often "feels" laggy compared to one at 60 or 120 fps. Even if you can't see the increased frame rate you can certainly feel input latency. It's also why "fake frames" from things like optiscaler or FSR/DLSS don't help when already at low frame rates, they actually increase latency, which is already bad when your frame times are higher.
I'm not into competitive gaming at all, btw, just sensitive to (and annoyed by) input lag.

I wanna know what's happening with all those finished wafers they bought.
If they aren't being made into memory modules I think someone should go to jail.
Inshallha
I love how it's more expensive in Europe
How much more once you add tax? EU prices have tax factored in already.

I mean, if a fatwa halves the price, I'm happy to issue two!
