Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTFinally a 1070 Steam Mashine would be nice. The 960 was only half of the 970's. It's the same with 10xx. :/ And for 800 € I'd like to have a xx70!

Considering the GPU looks to be soldered to the motherboard I think it probably is more economical to have 1 motherboard for both products.

The CPU on the other hand is replaceable and WINE games are much heavier on the CPU, so in the event that there are wine wraps they'll run better on the i7 no doubt.

I think you also have to take into account that this is a pretty small gaming console box. Even with my Mini ITX motherboard my standard ATX PSU makes my case huge at minimum in the Corsair 380T.

You're paying for the Alienware name, the compactness and portability, and the future success of Steam vs PS4/XBONE/Nintendo/WindowsPC

I would also like to see some AMDGPU Polaris 4XX Steam Machines by the end of the year. The open driver makes it increasingly appealing. I may be crazy enough to get one of these when I get some extra cash to complete my living room gaming experience.

$399 USD Wow this is starting to become viable, maybe for only high end gamers but I'm not expecting sub $100 prices like the myriads of sh`tty Android Tablets where people want cheaper instead of better tablets.

Oh fsck yes

(Although lately I've concocted some batsgit crazy plan to use VGA Pass through on my GTX 970 to get access to 100% of PC games. I'm gonna throw my SSD as a HDD pass through and use Steam Streaming so the VM will stream to the host via a virtual network adapter.

Red Hat Virtual Machine Manager will qemu even after the window is closed.

The results should be interesting.

Considering there are like 85,000 addons in the Workshop 1 stadium addon feels like it barely counts as "DLC" by definition.

But hey, I welcome it - I think the workshop addons far surpass the value of the deluxe version or addons for the most part.

Quoting: drmoth... if they were smart ...

Looks like I've located the problem.

The solution unfortunately isn't as simple.

I prefer the 300 FPS of CS:S to the 100 FPS of CS:GO or whatever, lately I can't game on less than 120hz on a FPS, the lag became noticeable once I tasted the divinity of 120 hz.

CS:GO never worked fantastic for me, the mouse on the browser window would disappear after a while, the Server Search screen would take longer than CS:S to query servers for tags. Also I haven't settled on a surf server with surf,rpg,dm mods.

It annoys me that they took sprays out the game entirely, I would have accepted a limited custom spray like halo does for avatars, I wish someone would make a workshop mod bringing back support.

The weapon sprays bug me too, the AWP blurs and has random jitter movements - if I wanted to play Call of Duty or have a realistic experience I would go play airsoft or paintball. Video games are not and should not simulate real war beyond the basic "givens" like "This is a grenade Launcher". "This is a AK-47", etc...

I'm amazed CSGO is so popular because so far I find myself hating the mechanics and stuff here and there so much.

I would be interested in seeing them do a Vulkan version, but then the performance boost might not be so much since there are fewer objects to draw compared to RTS Ashes of the Singularity and DOTA with all the environment objects on the screen at once.

That was actually really immersive, most games don't immerse me - I sort of feel a Star Craft 1 to the graphics which I adore.

Wake me up when the sleeper makes an entrance.

This is great, all these new titles are making it possible to part with my N64 games and emulated versions on SteamOS.

The more I can depreciate the better, maybe someday Square will release all their Final Fantasy titles on SteamOS. I tend to be developing Linux Gaming Collectoritis.
