16GB VRAM and 16GB RAM is an interesting choice, I'm guessing this was conceived before the great RAMCrisis:tm: and they originally planned to launch with 32/16?
Either way it seems like an interesting and capable piece of hardware that should be quite a bit more powerful than the Steam Machine proper and the VRAM should give it considerable longevity

Quoting: Axel Ekholm Cool i guess but i still don't get why you should care about achievements. I care about having fun playing a game, not having achievement.

it's the gamers's mindset, they always want to achieve something 😄

Quoting: CaldathrasSadly, Bazzite is not for me. They have very poor Nvidia legacy hardware support. CachyOS, on the other hand ...

We have images for GTX 9 and 10 series. If you mean Kepler and earlier, they are no longer supported by Nvidia's own drivers. It's a Nvidia problem, not a Bazzite problem.

the Steam version technically doesn't require a Bethesda account either, all you need to do is enable Steam Offline mode before launching (can be disabled again afterwards) and the game will be playable just fine

It all sounds super exciting, i just wished they would publish releases in a more human readable format lol

This is very underrated software. I use it to run FSR4 in Control and previously Cyberpunk (before it got native support) and it works totally fine on my 7900 XT. Cyberpunk would always have shimmering foliage, even with XeSS. With FSR4 the shimmering is completely gone. And in Control FSR4 massively improves image clarity, since it only supports DLSS and some really basic unspecified upscaler which always ends up looking blurry. Setting it up was surprisingly easy too.

This is cool, but likely overkill for most people. For pure gaming, 8 cores is more than enough. I recently upgraded to a 9800x3D and man, what a beast! I've yet to max it out even with my most demanding and largest zoo builds. Even the 7700x or 7800x3D would probably been fine for most people, unless you're doing heavy productivity work. AMD themselves said that the double cache is unlikely to improve gaming performance.

Quoting: KoopaThis specs dont make sense... technically the 7900XT is faster than the 9070XT!

Faster in raster yes, but in RT the 9070 is faster

Will you be picking it up?

You bet! I have over 300 hours in Forza 4+5 combined. And now Steam OS (Linux) support confirmed?! Instant buy.

Quoting: Claude_LibSadly, it also appears to break network completely, even connecting a smartphone over USB in tethering mode doesn't seem to work. Admittedly, I'm running it on a desktop, so nothing was guaranteed to work in the first place, but it's still sad. I created an issue on GitHub, hopefully they'll fix it.

hate to break it to you, but SteamOS isn't meant for your desktop, it's a niche console OS that only supports 2 devices right now. Anything outside of that, there are far better alternatives like Bazzite
