  It would be great if it was cheaper but you can also get a whole graphics card for more than the top Steam Machine model. One of the appeals of the Deck before the price increase was it was so cheap. It may not have been the most powerful handheld but you couldn’t beat it for the price.

    I still think it has a market for sure. If I had to choose I’d rather that than a ps5 pro.

    We’ll see what the final pricing is.

    :(

    The 1080ti was such a fucking beast of a card. And reasonably priced too.

      I have to be careful when upgrading, as I bought a premade pc back in 2020 and it’s a mini-case. The 1050 barely fits in it lol.

      It’s the min spec required for Outbound so I’m okay for the moment looool but at some point when I win the lotto I’d like to get a bigger case and upgrade (although the AI bubble has put that on the back burner as well ugh, it needs to pop asap considering OpenAI lost $21b last year, if we take the financials leak as fact 😂)

        I have a solution for the card being too big for the case

        I was about to move to am5 but I’m not paying 1500 for 32 fucking gb of ram lol

        Open AI financials are accurate I think. Token based billing is going to cause some serious usage changes now that corps have to pay the actual price instead of the subsidised one.
