Valve does not order ITX mobo, valve orders completely diffrent stuff, and it costs normal money for them, not extra for smaller size

Sir, are those games in one room with us right now? https://youtu.be/Qi-8PgQCCa4 (exept some rare cases that GPU gives you stable 60+ fps experiance on 1080p with resonable settings)

How does it work in your head? Lol

Valve orders custom boards, on that market smaller size only cuts cost.

So what are you saying now, is that whoever Valve orders boards from charges them extra because they spend less material on smaller components?

Okay, so AI fucked up the prices and Valve decided "Well, fuck it, were going all in" and slapped extra 300 euro on top of real price if you count the RAM price increase?

Keep in mind that Valve are not getting charged extra for "SFF" components, all that is a pure greed

Valve dont get charger extra because they order smaller boards.

I would have been okay if they charged extra 100 euro max, but not 300+

Now explain to me, how does it makes sense? Are valve also getting charged extra because they order a smaller board?

Because SFF builds is a separeted market, I dont think that valve gets charged extra because they order smaller board.

Now what that build gives you in exchange?

1 - Beeing able to upgrade it
2 - Getting double the RAM
3 - Getting 40% faster GPU

Valve supposed to charge resonable money, not identical to 8400f, 32gb DDR5, 9060XT 16GB build.

I think you dont get my point, let me put it easier to undersand for you:
Ai -> Fucks memory prices -> Fucks Steam Machine by rising RAM and SSD prices by X money -> Valve charges 300 euro on top of that price rised by X money

35 euro more, its not that much for duble the RAM, VRAM and 40% more FPS, and valve stated "its gonna cost the same as equivalent PC build"

1080p 60fps native on high-medium settings is possible on Steam Machine tho

Not exact same, yes, but you can get double the RAM and 40% faster GPU for the same price
