@DJ_Link@Morrilo4 that is not a result of the method of software rendering, its just how they decided to optimize it at the time. you can get high fidelity renders with software rendering same as with the gpu, it just performs worse because the cpu isnt made for that.
- The price for the Steam Machine is, in fact, too high
- It was clearly intended to be an entry level living room PC
- Valve didn't intend it to be this high
- Valve shouldn't be expected to sell at a loss
Many things can be true at once
