They won't but UHD tvs won't be affordable for at least 2 more years and current gen (~ $1k) single cards can't even run 4k well, if at all.

1080p will be the standard for another 2 years at least so a titan is kind of dumb for a pc/console on a HD tv.


just out of curiosity
what kind of lag do people get on that asus 4k monitor?
I'd prefer the LG oled UHD 32" tv they premiered a few years ago at that tech show
OOOOOOOHGGOOOOOOD 4KOLED
1080p oled looks better than 4k tn panels anywayz

Yeah but let's be honest Ghot. No home user needs a titan and a 3930k to play games off of steam on their 1080p COD gaming tv.


Dude, they've already established that they aren't going to all have titans. That's just their upper end model for testing.

Taken directly from the steam forums:

Here are the specifications for Valve's 300 prototypes.

The 300 prototype units will ship with the following components:

CPU: some boxes with Intel i7-4770, some i5-4570, and some i3
RAM: 16GB DDR3-1600 (CPU), 3GB GDDR5 (GPU)
Storage: 1TB/8GB Hybrid SSHD
Power Supply: Internal 450w 80Plus Gold

There's a lot more information there on the fact that these are purely for testing.

Yeah, they put this update early on when they were releasing info.

They aren't actually going to be making the final models though.

I guess so, if you like reading the posts of people who lack good critical thinking skills.

I don't know much about software and such which is why I am not commenting on the software aspect of this, but I am going to agree with you on the fact that they are making a mistake by not standardizing the parts because that will cause software issues, possibly (if I understood what you said correctly). I can see how using different graphics cards and processors in different models will cause driver issues, and I also see why it is pointless to say, if you don't want Steam OS on your steam box then put windows on it... that makes the entire purpose of a steam gaming system moot. Idk, it is a good idea but I feel that if they don't standardize their parts that it might be a huge flop.

The entire above statement is what I think, after reading this thread (and hopefully understanding all points made correctly).
