Pretty sure they don't have control over that, but rather it's AMD who does and that chip can only do 8gb VRAM.

Both parties must agree on the specs, and sure they are already accepted, but there's no way Valve has no control over that, that's not how things work my man

Yeah 8gb is way too low.. 12gb or 16gb is standard now.

It don't.

Even my Ally X has more than 8gb..

the "semi" custom bit will make it so they probably went into production a while ago and huge changes like vram wont be changed now.

Please Valve, just add 2GB VRAM more and that machine will be GREAT!
8GB is short already in 2025, nevermind 2026 onwards.
Hope you can change that before release!!!!

Valve knows more than you. Just fyi.

The problem ultimately will be price. If your target price is X, you put the best hardware you can at that price point. But a few more GB of VRAM or RAM, a few more CPU cores. A little bit extra storage. All the changes every user thinks is critical for success adds up, the cost and thus the price goes up.

If the price goes up, will more people buy the machine?

The other issue is, the more opinionated the hardware enthusiast is, dollars to donuts they're never going to buy the hardware anyway because they'll always be able to build a better machine for the same or less money.... So those opinions don't really matter. They're probably not the target demographic.

And time will tell if less opinionated, non-hardware enthusiast people will bite at the hardware being offered.

But yeah, anyone expecting the machine to be a PS5 Pro killer or the world's most perfect/optimal prebuilt, well there's a reason why you weren't involved in the project.

Yeah man what a shame tbh
