It is streaming first, so yes. Steam Machine affectionately known as the Gabe Cube, should be the center of the ecosystem. Stream games to your Valve devices, or play in lower quality on that device. I suspect the cube's hardware, running the custom optimized SteamOS, will punch above its weight...

Targeted at Enterprise. So validation, and features like security, management, and support are better/longer. My take away as a filthy casual, is that it speaks to AMD's continued success in gaining business sector market share. The historic breakthrough partnership with Dell, for a full line...

I like when they put them all together; MB, chroma, depth of field, film grain. There have been a few games where DoF was value added, but it is weird because I could not tell you a single one right now. On 007 as a property. I am not kidding when I say I would have much preferred an Austin...

The new Xbox boss says -

The motion blur is making me unreasonably angry.

Any failures yet?

I bought the Quest last decade when it was still Oculus. The wife won the Quest 2 in a contest. Meta sucks BTW. The OG I sweat in, as VR workouts are fun. Beat Sabre is one of my favorites. Quest 2 electric boogaloo I use for watching media mostly, because it has better lens, without the screen...

That's the kind of stuff where I go But I don't care about it for my use case. Gaming will take ages to leverage it.

Thank you for that perspective. Being in the U.S. I sometimes forget the struggle has been real for other regions where pop culture is concerned. I enjoy all sorts of games and art styles. And photorealism has the potential to inflict or trigger real PTSD for some people. I don't think I need...

ASRock has taken reputation damage over the AM5 issues. I commented weeks ago that there was not a single ASRock board in the top 20 on Amazon at the time. For Asus, it is having infamously bad customer service.

I will play Devil's advocate here. There was a giant downside; Obsolescence happen far too fast. We didn't call it the bleeding edge for nothing. ;) In just a few years you needed a new vid card to run the latest blockbuster games on the newest DX version. Tech like Glide far too quickly went...

For sale and trade forums are the meta on a tight budget. You will always have fairly modern parts on the cheap to build and upgrade with. Selling your old parts defrays a little of the cost as well. Message boards like this are populated mostly by older financially established white collar...

We will be in the 2030s before DIY gets access, and begins to adopt it in any real numbers.

Interesting take on it. I had not considered it from a solely PR/marketing angle. AMD cited the telemetry from the Adrenalin app when discussing the real possibility of manufacturing some SKUs again. It is a straight forward use of the data collected anonymously. It makes your idea that the...

Agreed. Steam is a huge platform, no doubt. It does seem highly likely the polls are mostly limited to/pertain to non Asian gamers. However, LTT has almost 17M subs on their main channel alone. And both polls had far beyond the number of responses necessary for accuracy. The results reflect...
