Spelar inte BF4 eller liknande skitspel som CoD =)
Enligt Tom's Hardware så får man ut 58-64fps på High i BF4 med detta kortet i denna maskin.

Om inte CPU:n flaskar då... Förmodligen en FX4300/Athlon II CPU i denna.
FX6300 hade varit ett trevligare val.

Trots det bra pris, inte lätt att komma särskilt mkt under 5000 om man plockar ihop grejjerna själv. Tex:
 steam.png   41,33K   0 Antal nerladdningar

Större HDD men fulare låda och man får plocka ihop grejjerna själv samt köpa till Stream-kontrollen.

Frågan är dock hur bra AMD funkar med Linux...

oavsett om man inte gillar genren eller speltypen så kan man knappast kalla det skitspel . Och just bf3/4 är ju spel som anses grafiskt krävande och används till benchmarks för olika grafikkort etc.

Börjar dyka upp allt fler Steam Machines nu.

Phew, here’s another story revolving around Valve’s soon to be launched Steam OS and Steam Machines. Pocket Lint reports that a British PC manufacturer called Piixl will be launching a SteamOS optimised PC which will attach to the back of your flat screen TV. This PC will be able to accommodate some very pokey hardware in its slim chassis and it will be launched on New Year’s Day.


Overclocked i7 and an Nvidia Titan - no problem

The “superthin” chassis of the Piixl Jetpack will accommodate hardware specs up to and including overclocked Intel Core i7 processors, graphics cards such as the Nvidia Titan and GTX780 and SSD storage up to 1TB in capacity Pocket Lint reporters were told.

While the chassis definitely looks thin it doesn’t look so small, but fitting sleekly behind your big TV it shouldn’t be an eyesore. Piixl say the extendable chassis of the Jetpack will fit to the rear of any TV from 32 to 70-inches and up to 100Kg in weight. The chassis sits between the TV set and a VESA standard wall mount in a kind of pass-through configuration. If you have your TV on a stand then that’s even simpler as it just attaches directly.


Gamers who won’t compromise on performance or interior design

I’m sure the above headline describes lots of HEXUS readers. Francois-Xavier Gardes, London-based Piixl's managing director said “Jetpack is designed for gamers that do not want to compromise on performance nor interior design. Whether wall mounted or on a table, its presence stays smart and minimalistic while providing leading edge-performance and tweak potential virtually on par with a full-tower. If the future of gaming is open, so should be the hardware platform it is being played on.”


While the system is “optimised for SteamOS,” Piixl say this is an open platform and works well with Windows and other Linux OSes.

The Piixl Jetpack will be available to buy from 1st January 2014 with prices starting from around £600 (US$1000).

Hmm ganska cool fast 600 pund dollar + moms är en hel del.
Påminner om en rackserver. De låter ngt fruktansvärt så det ska bli intressant att se hur de löser det.

Kul idé. Jag gillar steam machine-konceptet. Jag antar att det blir fritt från virus och bloatware mm. Jag tillhör dem som tycker att det är krångligt med PC. Antivirusprogram och skit. Det bästa jag gjort var när jag fimpade surflaptopen som blev segare och segare att starta för varje dag till förmån från en iPad 4 med tangentbord. den startar momentant och krånglar aldrig. Det är sånt man vill ha.

Steam Machines och handkontroller börjar skeppas till Beta-testare den 13'e december.

The time has come! We are ready to begin shipping Steam Machines and Steam Controllers to the 300 selected beta participants. The machines are due to leave the factory on Friday!

The 300 selected beta testers are being notified today (at about 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time) that they’ll soon receive Steam hardware and SteamOS for testing. Each selected user is also being awarded a special badge on their Steam Community profile, indicating that they’re a beta participant. In addition, a number of games that run natively on SteamOS are being added to each selected user’s library.

We’ve had to make the difficult decision to limit our beta to the U.S. only, because of regulatory hurdles. This was not our original plan, and it means we can’t collect beta feedback from Steam customers world-wide, which is pretty unfortunate. All things considered, we’re sure it was the right decision, because the alternative was to delay the whole beta beyond the point when we’d be able to incorporate any feedback into the 2014 products. This decision only affects Valve’s 300 prototype units; the commercial versions of Steam Machines that are for sale in 2014 won’t be affected by this. More information on those will be announced at CES on January 6.

SteamOS will be made available when the prototype hardware ships. It will be downloadable by individual users and commercial OEMs. (But unless you’re an intrepid Linux hacker already, we’re going to recommend that you wait until later in 2014 to try it out.) We’ll post info soon about that. Oh, and stay tuned for the in-home streaming beta to begin soon, too!

Happy holidays. And happy unboxing to our beta testers. See you on Steam.

Känns extremt fragmenterat redan från början. Skulle inte det här göra det enklare? Är ju lika mycket olika hårdvaror nu som tidigare + de säljs med både windows och steam os. Ska man behöva ha 2 OS i fortsättningen för att köra steam?

lite upprepning kanske men från Engadget.

Remember those Steam Machine partners we heard about? Gabe Newell just took the stage at Valve's CES 2014 event and made them official, doling out specs for gaming rigs from Alienware, CyberPower, Gigabyte, iBuyPower, Falcon Northwest, and more. There are thirteen machines in all, varying from $500 to $6000 a piece. Not all of them revealed their full hardware specifications, but skip past the break, and we'll give you a rundown of what we know.
Alienware -- Price TBD

The folks at Dell were kind enough to reveal their machine at Valve's event, but didn't happen to clue us in what it contains. What we can see is that the case is a fairly basic black box, flaunting only an Alienware and Steam logos for flare and offering a pair of front-facing USB ports. We can't guess at what's inside just yet, but given the company's tradition of configurable hardware, we're sure they'll be multiple options.
Alternate -- $1339

This simple cube won't win any beauty contests, but it has some decent internals. Alternate's Steam Machine is kitted out with an Intel Core i5 4570, An NVIDIA GTX 760 GPU from Gigabyte, 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage, via a hybrid solid state hard drive.
CyberPowerPC -- $499 and up

Looking for something that resembles an original Xbox-era game console? Take a look at Cyber Power's rig. We already know quite a bit about this unit: It's packing a 3.9GHz A6 CPU from AMD, a 2GB Radeon R9 270 GPU, up to 8GB of RAM and 500 gigs of internal storage. Not in to AMD internals? No worries, CyberPowerPC is offering an Intel based alternative with a 3.5GHz Core i3 and a GeForce GTX 760 instead, with dozens of other configurations available at a customer's whim. Oh, and it's shipping in the second half of the year, too.
Digital Storm "Bolt II" -- $2,584

The Bolt II is another Steam Machine that debuted ahead of Valve's event, though Digital Storm was tight lipped on its specs. Still, Newell's crew spilled a few beans: the Bolt II will be outfitted with an Intel Core i7 4770K, a GTX 780 Ti graphics processor, up to 16GB of RAM and a traditional one-two HDD / SDD combo: 1 terabyte of storage on the traditional platter disc and 120GB on the speedy solid state drive. Oddly, it has yet again another price, well above the $1,500 we originally heard it was going to go for, but we'll chalk that up to custom configurations.
Gigabyte "Brix Pro" -- Price TBD

This dimuntive box appears to be a little wider than a DVD, but also seems to suffer for its size. Although it's Intel Core i7-4770R CPU is speedy enough, Valve's press materials describe it as having integrated graphics -- Intel Iris Pro 5200, specifically. Integrated chips have come a long way in recent years, but definitely worth noting. The box also sports 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SATA HDD.
iBuyPower -- $499 and up

Like so many Steam Machine builders, iBuyPower is known for offering its customers customizable boxes, which is why the company didn't specify only one type of processors. The company's Steam Machine will offer CPUs from both AMD and Intel, and promises a graphics card from AMD -- a Radeon R9 270, as we've heard. The box also packs in 8GB of RAM and over 500GB of storage. Plus, if you've got a thing for consoles, you'll love it's case, which looks like an odd mix of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
Falcon Northwest "Tiki" -- $1,799 - $6,000

Falcon Northwest's Tiki PC isn't exactly a newcomer, but the Steam Machine version certainly is. It's a direct replica of the currently available Tiki, albeit with SteamOS and a Steam Controller packed in when it arrives later this year. In terms of specs, there's a pretty wide range: up to GTX Titan in terms of GPU, 6TB of storage (seriously!), and up to 16GB of RAM. If that weren't enough, the outside is emblazoned with the...planet on fire imagery seen in so much Steam Machine marketing.
Materiel.net -- $1,098

Materiel is aiming at your game consoles with a box packing just a tad more power than what Microsoft and Sony are offering. An Intel Core i5 CPU, an NVIDIA GTX 760 GPU, 8GB of RAM and 1TB of storage round out the box's specs, and the price is just right -- a slight step above the newest game consoles and comparable boutique PCs, with a big enough power upgrade to justify the price.
Next "Spa" -- Price TBD

Next's Steam Machine is just a step above the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, offering an Intel Core i5 CPU, an NVIDIA GT 760 GPU, 8GB of RAM and 1TB storage. There's no price for Next's Steam Machine just yet, but it looks like it'll land just below a grand.
Origin PC "Chronos" -- Price TBD

Origin's taking a configurable approach with its Steam Machine, offering up to an Intel Core i7 CPU, two (!) NVIDIA GTX Titan GPUs, 32GB of RAM and 14TB of storage (with swappable drives). There's a good reason that price isn't announced yet -- because it's gonna cost a tremendous amount of money for this Lamborghini PC setup.
Scan "NC10" -- $1,090

Scan's flat, long Steam Machine is a mix of high end (NVIDIA GTX 765M GPU) and low end (Intel Core i3 CPU), and seems destined for mostly game streaming. 8GB of RAM and 500GB of HDD storage mean you'll be able to do at least a modicum of gaming right on the NC10, but a powerhouse it ain't.
Webhallen -- $1,499

Webhallen's version of the Steam Machine is of the higher-end variety, with an Intel Core i7 CPU, an NVIDIA GTX 780 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSHD -- clearly they're not kidding around! Of course, that kind of power comes with a hefty price: $1,499. It might be double the power of new game consoles, but more than double the price makes Webhallen's model a bit of a hard sell.
Zotac -- $599

Zotac's got an especially small little box, with an unnamed Intel Core CPU, an NVIDIA GTX GPU (also TBD), and unknown storage and RAM. What we can see thus far looks to be a box on the level of a new game console, and the price matches up with that intent.

Tyvärr ser den ut som skräp. De där touch-ytorna kan aldrig vara lika bra som analoga spakar (tror jag). De skulle haft stöd för DS4...

Handkontrollerns design är inte klar ännu, det kan mycket väl bli så att det blir analoga spakar på den.
Den är ute för betatestning och visar resultatet från dom testerna att det inte fungerar bra så blir det en annan design.

Utan att trassla till och fastna i termer så tror jag du har rätt så till vida att pc-fans och konsol-fans är dom "extrema" fantasterna.
"Vanliga" människor som är öppna och "bara" bestämt sig för att köpa något nytt kan absolut vara intresserade av steambox.

Tja, de är ju fler än till PS4 och Xbox One tillsammans och de båda konsollerna försvinner ju så fort de hamnar på hyllan.

frågan är ju vilka som lockas av alla de spel som finns via steam! Finns partyspel som singstar/ddr etc? just dance? lego spelen finns väl, men de finns ju likväl till konsoler. Finns skylanders? osv osv.

Jag spelar rätt lite på PC så för mig är det ointressant iaf.
Föredrar konsollerna för deras enkelhet samt jag måste ändå köpa konsollerna för att kunna spela Sonys/Microsofts/Nintendos spel. PC har jag redan och att lägga in ytterligare ett OS och att hålla på att dualboota så fort man ska göra ngt annat på sin PC är inget alternativ för mig.

Alienware has announced its plans to launch Steam Machines every year, in order to mimic the lifecycles of consoles.

Alienware GM Frank Azor confirmed the plans to TrustedReviews, commenting that, like the consoles produced by Sony and Microsoft, the hardware of Alienware’s Steam Machines would be locked.

"Lifecycle wise, consoles update every five, six, seven years, we will be updating our Steam Machines every year," he explained. “There will be no customization options – you can’t really update it."

varför skulle man inte kunna uppdatera en steam-machine med nytt graffekort mer minne etc? Låter ju jävulskt puckat. Fast iofs, för folk som inte är så datorvana kanske det är en bra ide. Alltså de som inte kan byta grafikkort själv ens etc.

Har testat Steam OS ett tag nu med en trådbunden xbox360-kontroller på en gaming-PC.

Fungerar fint, men man kan inte göra alla inställningar med kontrollern - ibland måste man ta till mus och tangentbord.

För att steamos och steambox ska ta andelar från PS4 och Xbox One krävs dock stora titlar.

Vad jag kan se finns det i dagsläget (förutom Valves egna bibliotek) endast en "stor" titel - Metro last light.

Om det nu ska ske någon stor lansering när man kan köpa steambox borde det vara tillsammans med en lanserings-titel som får folk att lyfta på ögonbrynen - annars blir det svårt.

Valve borde dra fram Halflife 3 som ett ess från rockärmen och att det endast finns tillgängligt exklusivt från Steam.
