Sorry, How Many Announcements?

Personally, I think the controller looks quite nice. Hopefully it is practical as well, the Y,X,B and A buttons seem to be in a really odd organization.

They are certainly in... Odd.. Positions. Good luck, platformers!

What I'm gathering from this is that this is basically a machine that can run your Steam games on a TV, is that it?

That's pretty much the idea yes.

Huh... My laptop's hardware isn't powerful enough to run newer games, so I think I will definitely look into getting one of these.

I do hope the other models are cheaper.

Yeah, I hope so too.

You'll be able to make your own for any price you want. You could even buy a cheap laptop, plug it into the TV and run SteamOS on it if you wanted to

Okay, valve's steam machine contains a Nvidia GTX Titan. That card costs $1000.
Not gonna be cheap :/

Well they said there will be multiple models with different configurations so that's just ONE of them.

Post by **ThatOneFox** » November 5th, 2013, 2:31 pm

Indeed. A bloody expensive one though.

The Titan really isn't even that great for gaming TBH. The 780 Ti costs 500 dollars less and does comparably almost as well. The Titan is really only for hardcore 3D graphics designers-or for people with like 10 monitors running at one time.

Naah, the Nvidia Tesla is meant for that. (That's a $6000 card BTW)

lol, that's true. But the Titan has way more VRAM than anyone could use for the foreseeable future on gaming-its only real purpose being for multiple monitors or graphics designing. Which is why I say for the price, the 780 is the best bet.
