  You can check the spot price of GDDR6 it’s nit that expensive. Also valve most likely secured their supply contract and final specs a while ago.

  There is no excuses for this.

  They really dropped the ball with only 8gb vram, it’s not like GDDR is expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Machine⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a deck owner, it’s not that powerful, you’re never going to drive it at full settings on most modern games, so the size of the vram does not matter all that much.

  Also, the GPU already does the cache work itself if the vram is full anyway, and GDDR is much faster than regular DDR, which is why you see stuttering on 8gb GPUs when texture resolution is pushing the limits.

  With the spot price if GDDR6 modules it’s frankly disappointing to only see 8gb.

  Use Bazzite, or ChimeraOS if you do’nt care about desktop mode

  Bulk pricings has increased sure, but not to the extent consumer price did. Capitalism, ho!

  How much jank are you willing to deal with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Machine⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a bit concerned about the vram situation. 8Gb is not a lot nowadays, particularly if you start adding stuff like ai framegen and stuff which these types of machines tend to need further down the line.

  An extra 8gb wouldn’t have killed the profit margins.

  I need a controller that can tell how hard I am mashing the buttons and games reacting appropriately.
