The hardware is bad. It’s a power throttled bottom of the barrel GPU and CPU. It’s a 1080p30fps machine for anything other than indies, and for most AAA gaming it will need the atrocious FSR to even get to that.
It’s not upgradable either, so it’s not like you can just swap out the GPU or CPU for a better one later.
For a machine that’s targeting the living room, where most people who might consider buying this would be wanting to use it on a big 4K TV, they’ve made the worst possible performing machine for that use case.
I’m not sure how much of a console gamer you are, or how much you keep an eye on game prices, but almost every sale on steam for games that are on consoles happens on Xbox and PlayStation too. I know because I often have to choose between buying on Xbox or Steam when there’s a sale, and the Xbox version with play anywhere is the same price as the steam one so I usually buy the Xbox one.
12:50 “We’re seeing averages of 81 FPS and it’s fully playable like this.” Also look at the bottom left of the screen – it says “ultra.” I’m sorry, but I’m right about this and I have evidence. So quit it with the laugh emoji like I’m some idiot.

@MystValkyrie@lemmy.blahaj.zone Im guessing you went back and looked at the reviews you thought proved your point and saw you were mistaken? 🤣
The steam machine does not run cyberpunk over 60fps at ultra settings lol.

No, I didn’t. Watch Digital Foundry’s and ETA Prime’s review with gameplay tests, then come back.
