Valve scrapped its claim of 4K60 support for the Steam Machine, officially concluding its official specs. In the UK, retailers and hobbyists have started selling compact computers that rival or exceed the Valve model at cheaper price points.
France's LDLC rolled out a "PC Box" with an RDNA 4 GPU that undercuts the Valve price. Meanwhile, tinkerers capitalised on special offers to assemble their own rigs at a lower cost. Current signs point to that buyers can enjoy alike performance without needing the obsolete hardware.
