Comment on My steam machine arrived!

  I’m literally playing nfsu 2 and signalis. I also think ray tracing is dumb af and we’re nowhere near phitorealism. So no, you’re dead wrong.

  However, I also want to play the latest RE and Control Resonant when it comes out. Not to mention that I play these games on a 1440p 170hz screen and would like to upgrade to alienware’s new ultrawide oled.

  steam directly tests that hardware in steam os, so less likelihood of issues

  Issues like what, exactly? Unless you have a pc that’s over a decade old, you won’t have any “hardware issues”.

  not all hardware is compatible with each other when building either

  There’s this thing called hwpartpicker. You should use it. Hw incompatibility isn’t rocket science.

    I worked at a computer store for a few months. Tools like PC part picker likely aren’t always 100% accurate… And, even small things like cases can cause issues.

    And, you still can have weird issues. I bought an omnibook and was getting random stalls. I’m still not sure it was fully because I didn’t have enough ram. You shouldn’t, but it does still happen.

    Nobody is forcing you to buy it. But a lot of people just want a turnkey solution (like I said) where everything just works with minimum effort. I actually play games on a 4k tv… using a rog ally.

    It’s not like steam likely won’t update their steam machine specs again when it makes sense either. It’s unlikely they’d run the same cycle length as Xbox, Nintendo or Sony
