I’ve been a long time eGPU user so that was probably the biggest thing I wanted from my steamdeck. But years on I’m not really sure how much I would use it. I use my CPU heavy laptop and eGPU when I want to game big. I’m not going to replace my laptop with my steamdeck. If I want more power than what my steamdeck has, but play on it, I just stream from my laptop + eGPU.

That’s actually a really cool idea. Couples could each have their own full desktop but then play together on the TV and couch.

Yeah, I’m wondering if valve could essentially turn steamlink into a cluster “app” to game using all your compatible hardware resources. They would have to map resources out to be actually useful but I think it would be.

I feel like both AMD and Nvidia gave up on dual gpu architecture because single units were immediately putting dual systems to shame with cost and power. There was really no need for the gaming sector to take up networked computing.
The systems, architecture, logistics, all that stuff has been made for large systems because that’s just necessary. We wouldn’t have AI as we know it without it. The question is will some company think there’s enough profit to make that worth scaling down to consumer hardware.
As I wrote that I wrote profit, and there is no profit in letting people take their weaker older systems and cluster/ mesh them so you don’t have to buy bigger newer tech. So no, this will never happen. Valve might have done it a while ago just as a side project fuck you, because they used to be like that. But now they sell hardware alongside the big boys. No more fun.
