I usually buy game consoles instead of fussing around with components, but I’d be incredibly tempted with something as convenient as that.

- c0pium 3y agoDo you own a Steamdeck?
- jorvi 3y agoYou can put together an ITX / SFF system with: - AM4 motherboard - 5800X3D - Aftermarket low profile CPU cooler - 3600MHz 16GB RAM - RTX 4060 Low Profile - 2TB NVMe SSD And it’d be smaller and much more powerful than a PS5. If you get the parts secondhand, it wouldn’t be that much more expensive either, especially once you factor in PS+ and how cheap Steam games are. The only hairs in the soup are SteamOS and Nvidia drivers. SteamOS doesn’t yet have a standalone install. You can work around that by installing ChimeraOS and having it launch Steam Big Picture on passwordless boot. Nvidia currently has relatively poor open source drivers, but nvVLK is rapidly improving, with probably good performance in a year or so. Your other option is hoping AMD or a board partner release a low profile card, but I don’t see that happening. Or the dark GPU horse that is Intel. You could also go for a larger case, which would allow you to fit a bigger GPU. Something like an AMD 6800 XT would deliver a 120FPS experience at 1440P and high/ultra settings, and do so quietly with an undervolt.
