Before you start making plans to evict your current rig, I want to explain how the Steam Hardware Survey actually works. Rather than representing every player that uses the storefront, the monthly census instead uses a small percentage of participants who've opted in as a sample. It's anything but representative of all 154 million active users, meaning the statistic above isn't an absolute.

Does the author know how *survey sample sizes work?

Do I?

Is it because it's opt in or opt out?

Idk why everyone is giving their input when all of you will line up and buy this no matter what.

  • I won't be. I've set up my old rig, a Ryzen 3600/Radeon 7600 mini-ITX machine on my television running Bazzite. AFAIK it's quite a similar experience to SteamOS (Launches in Steam big picture mode, can switch to a KDE desktop, immutable distro with flatpak apps), from what they've released, it seems my machine has relatively similar performance, it's about 3 times as big, but...I don't need a Steam Machine.

    I might spring for a Steam Frame headset though.

    Who are your referring to? I'm not gong to buy it. He'll, we don't even know the price.
