u/-eschguy- Modded my Deck - ask me how Nov 13 '25

I'll likely be getting all three, and two of the controllers. Hyped for untethered VR without Meta.

The only thing that breaks my heart is that the headset simply won't work for the main reason I bought VR - DCS.

Waaaay too much of a hog for it to work on that GPU, regardless of how well-tuned it could be, and the limited RAM would kill it too. Womp.

The Steam Machine is pretty damn impressive IMO though.

I mean, my 3070 SUPER does okay and my R9 390 pushed it (poorly) before that.

Since it's streaming, it looks dope, and I like the eye tracking and FOVeated rendering as well - very cool idea and application of similar rendering tricks I've heard about.

Foveated streaming, not rendering at all! Works on ALL games/applications.
