Here ya go.... nice they went for Nvidia GPU's :P

Why the 16GB DDR I have no idea, unless they have got the devs to release SteamBOX only 64bit binaries. Which would then beg the question, why not for PC :\

only a 450 watt powersupply, what am i overlooking here?, considering most pc's nowadays are 600 and up, this seems very low 🤔


edit---

to compare, im running with a 660TI myself, and i doubt that would run on a 450, considering the rest of the hardware needs power as well

It won't have much hardware in it, so no need for multiple optical drives and so on.

So that cuts the power usage down a lot.

still sounds low, considering the min recommendet for a titan, is 600 W


on another note, im about 99 % in the dark with this whole steam machine thing, is it suppose to be a consol?, yes, some things regarding, i live in a cave, shoot me

It will be a dumbed down version of the GPUs, much like console types.

Its a console.. Hence why its steams system to compete with consoles.

It will be interesting to see how a console which plays games competes in a console generation which may very well be led by a $600 gesture-based TV remote.

These are just the beta boxes. No word yet on whether or not they will be standard equipment. Guessing not... even with nVidia's planned price cuts, the Titan alone will be around $700.
