The other thing is the heat and how long it'll last cause without some kind of advance special tech or magic, this little thing which is even smaller than most mini PCs is going to run hot. So will it be able to remain cool enough for intense gaming like a desktop with similar spec and a bigger cooler. And if not will this cause the lifespan of the steam box to be vastly shorter.
I literally watched a video that showed the game running on similar specs and it literally looked like shit to hit higher frames.
What's the equivalent GPU and Processor for the Steam Machine so I can search it up on youtube with a few games.
They claim they put a lot on work into the machine to keep it cool and quiet. We'll see how that fairs over time I guess.
Rx 7600 for the gpu and a ryzen 5 7500 series for cpu. Almost every benchmark you find will have a weaker cpu so the steam machine will likely perform even better than what you find
Definitely going to be best to wait depending on the types of games you play. The Steam Machine isn't a handheld so people will be much more critical of the limitations, especially if the price isn't right.
He's doing that because Valve said 4K60 with upscaling in their marketing.
Yeah, and it can definitely run games at 4k60fps with upscaling. But much like with ps5s and xboxs marketing we know full well not every game will manage to get at those without compromises, or at all in cases of very poorly optmized games.
Yup! I guess a lot of people don't realize the broad spectrum of system setups that can easily play modern AAA games decently to very well. They themselves said the Steam Machine offers performance comparable to or better than 70% of gaming PCs on Steam. I doubt it's going to be a hooptie, lol.
you just had to say "Space Marine 2 literally starts at 15:00"
Even if tech inflation raise the price more, I would still trust the fact that it is the best I could buy for the money. Because whatever raise the price for the Gabecube would also raise the price for every other option.
My sarcastic tone was sounding more snarky so I dropped the HA-LITERULLY bit.
It uses a cut down rx7600 and a 30 watts CPU. Likely mobile parts.
It's the Past Life with those specs.So 700 minimum for something that has 512GB of space and 8GB of VRAM.
Love the idea but...
Agreed although I think even at 500 it's going to sell a great amount.
.
From the fact benchmarks with this gpu are almost always paired with a weaker and older cpu than what the steam machine has, as i clearly stated.
I am also interested to see how the GabeCube is going to do against a PS5.
The RX7600 is a 32 CU GPU with a max clock of 2655 MHz delivering 10.875 TFlops of GPU performance (single issue FP32). The steam machine unit has 28 CUs and it has a max clock of 2.45 GHz, delivering 8.78 TFlops of single issue FP32 performance. The RX7600 is 20% more performant than the Steam Machine GPU, so it is quite naive to expect better performance from the Steam Machine.
Technically the steam machine would sit somewhere in-between the rx 7600 and a rx 7600 mobile version. The performance difference between a desktop gpu and its laptop counterpart tend to be small when speaking of mid-low range gpus, usually being more pronounced in high end models. That, paired with the fact a lot of benchmarks will use weaker cpus, i think its a safe point of reference.
Technically above it, so somewhere in-between the two. I cant find any 7600m benchmarks, only 7600s which is actually worse, but even with it results dont appear much different from the desktop counterpart. In some cases it even seems to run better on different benchmarks so the differences should be minimal enough that other elements like cpu or pc configurations affect the performance more significantly.
This is true but if you put that 4060 into a mini pc instead of laptop the price shoots up to 1,300-1,500 why is that

Because fools and their money are soon parted?
Mini pcs often come with much more ram and much stronger CPUs than laptops.This is true but if you put that 4060 into a mini pc instead of laptop the price shoots up to 1,300-1,500 why is that

That's a 4070 one but the 4060 one was like 1,500
I dont understand why this thread is not closed. It only creates misinformation and some people are taking this information as truth.
So true, i hope it will cost about 500 bucks.
I saw a 4060 laptop on sale at Best Buy for 650 that was the sale price though original price is 800
