That's pretty good. Even if the SM cost 20% more the cuteness factor of its small quiet aesthetic has its own appeal. Hope PC prices come down...
replyIf Valve wants users to compare the Steam Machine to a PC, then it's going to be outdated in 6 months.
replyIt is already outdated I think? 8GB of VRAM, and CPU and mobile GPU from 3+ years ago. Nobody would build a gaming PC right now with a GPU that anemic and 8GB of VRAM.
replyNo one would build a gaming pc right now at all.
replyAnd yet my steam deck still plays everything I throw at it. Could I find a Crysis-type game that was basically designed as a GPU torture device that it would struggle with? Obviously. Is there a resolution difference? Yes. But there are a lot of games coming out only asking for moderate specs.
replyI wish PCs were still advancing that fast...
replyDude still thinks it's 2003.
