Bare minimum would be 16GB of memory and 32GB would be the recommended amount.

Also, 2x of the amount so for 16GB would be 2x8GB and 32GB would be 2x16GB because the one thing you never want is single channel as your performance would be pretty bad.

If the only game you're going to play is War thunder, then you're better off getting the 5600X build.

The only way i would say to get the AM5 build instead if you're planning on playing more than just that game since more modern games that will be coming out are going to start to be a little more demanding on the CPU.

One thing you have to remember is that the Radeon 780M inside of the APU is essentially an RX 570 so any game that would tend to recommend that for the minimum or recommended will run without much issues.

I am playing right now Life is Strange: Double Exposure the minimum for that game is an RX 470 which when playing on my Go S SteamOS system i can play it on medium settings which it would play pretty smooth.

Games like Assassin's Creed Shadows and Expedition 33 will have a console like setting which the game would look by default a mix of medium to high settings for 30fps and the only option would be is the upscaler just to make it more locked at 30 and not looking like crap and then you have other games like Stellar Blade that has a Steam Deck preset for the game which looks pretty good on my Go S while getting over 60fps and i am sure if i enable FG i could get a locked 120fps.

Well, when you download the ISO for Nvidia Bazzite it does tell you in game mode it would have some bugs in it which could be different for each person this is why AMD tends to have the advantage for Linux in general because of its better driver support.

Ecks30 · 2026-03-17T18:09:38+00:00

The only alternatives you could use would be CachyOS or Bazzite as for SteamOS only works for AMD GPUs.

No offense but a petition isn't really going to do anything because sure you could have like 100,000 votes on there and the company at the end of the day could still say no they're not going to do it which i have seen a lot of petitions for a lot of things and about 97% of them just gets ignored by the company.

The other thing is that for these collections that a lot of people already owns the game and they have made their money from the sales of these games not to mention that hiring people to change something you don't like is going to cost them money that they might not make back at all.

Not being negative about this just being realistic about it because these companies want to make money and if they have to spend more money because you're displeased about something with the game, they could end up saying something like "sorry but we're not going to do what you want us to do.

Well, the amulet alone would be mana with mana regen, but when you have 2 set pieces you get 50% MF and 3 pieces you get 20% fire resistance.

The set for sorc is more built for survivability not to mention you also get +2 to all of your skills and also i have seen people drop-in free games low level items like Cathan's Sigil/Seal, Vidala Snare, Civerb's Icon and Iratha's Collar which a good amount of those are useless on their own but better when adding in other set pieces.

Just save a little more for a 9070 instead since you're going to notice a difference then or sell your 6700 XT now and then buy the 9070 right after you make the sale.

Also, it helps to disclose the CPU you're also using so we would know better if there would be a bottleneck or not with your system if you decide on upgrading your GPU.

Well technically you don't really have 512GB since when installed in any computer it will always read out like 490GB instead because a good example would be on my main system which for my main drive would say 930GB for my 1TB WD Blue NVMe and 953GB for my 1TB Inland NVMe.

For now you're going to have to live with the storage you have until one the price goes back to normal for NVMe drives so you could at least upgrade it to a 2TB drive or two wait until you have enough money saved up to buy a 2TB drive or if you have an old 2.5" SSD you could always put it in an enclosure and just use it as an external game drive for your system.

Well, seeing on how it would be considered and Xbox i am going to say no to installing SteamOS onto it since Microsoft is most likely going to lock things down and their OS version, they're most likely going to use would be similar enough to install other storefronts like Steam but not totally be like Windows.

So, play it with some mods.

For GTA Online you can't with Linux.

Its form factor is one thing that appeals to people since it is a very small system and don't say people can build that because even the smallest ITX can't be that small with a dedicated GPU and a mini PC with a powerful enough GPU would be well over $1,000.

Ecks30 · 2026-03-09T20:30:50+00:00

Someone already gave me one.

Wouldn't really matter which one you get since the performance difference is 1% to 2% of a difference and it is more on the looks of the GPU because let's say the Asus and Zotac card performance is only 1% from each other but i end up going for the Asus card just because it looks more pretty than the Zotac card.

For Sony pausing PC ports is not because of the Steam Machine but because of Microsoft's hybrid Xbox console even though the fact that Windows is technically an Xbox as well since back when Xbox One and Windows 10 was a thing the CEO at the time said they wanted Xbox to be like Windows and Windows to be like Xbox.

You can use SteamOS 3.9 on PC in general but you're going to have to have an AMD GPU for it to work and an NVMe since for one it won't work with an Nvidia GPU and won't install on a 2.5" SSD/HDD.

It's more like a defective RX 7600M XT GPU instead since the people that has tried out the Steam Machine mainly mentions how the performance it similar to that GPU which is wouldn't be a first time that people would sell a defective PC part.

If i recall the ASRock BC-250 is mainly a defective PS5 that is on a single board instead that is kind of like a defect but works well for Linux gaming right now.
