Steam Machine

Are the Developers, or anyone else, able to comment on the upcoming Steam Machine and how well it is likely to run IL-2 Korea?

At a guess, it'll run it, though maybe not particularly well. And for the same price, you'd be able to build a regular gaming PC that could run it better.

Any steammachine is already outdated it in the time of rapidly changing hardware electrickery for high end games. 

Unless IL2 etc can be GamePad controllable only

Based on the specs it may be a bit below an 7600: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-7600.c4153

 

So perhaps near the minimum specs for IL-2 Korea. Assuming that it even works, because IL-2 GB does not work on SteamOS.

 

And don't expect the devs to speculate about the performance of an unreleased product.

I believe Steam Machine will be a huge success. But the audience they are targeting is people that like to play on consoles, so they can have access to Steam Library without the "headache" of building and configuring a PC.

 

In case of simulators, normal PC's will continue to be the standard.

I've saw the annoucement alongside the Steam Frame too and I think it's good news.

Valve usually pushes the industry and in their own metrics, 70% of Steam users have worse hardware than the Steam Machine.

With the horrible price hikes, bubbles, AI this AI that, hardware is becoming again a luxury. If this is cheap and keeps people in the PC industry, then it's a good deal.

With Steam Frame, I hope it makes pushes more people into VR too and is a success like Steam Deck. Even if we don't like it or have no use in our sim, it pushes the industry and more options arrive because of that.

It does not need to be better or more powerful than our mots used headests. It just need to sell tons of it so industry is interesed more in VR and there are more clients.

After the Steam Deck was released there were then a couple more options with better hardware and more capabilities. But not everybody needs a 4K 144fps gaming machine, but we need to check first if it's even working with Il-2 as a simulator has usually high minium specs.

 

Kind regards,
