Steam Hardware

[Jan 08, 2013, 10:19 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Polygon has what details PC maker Xi3 is revealing about "Piston," a Steam-optimized mini computer that seems to be the first blow in Valve's much discussed foray into gaming hardware. This is be a powerful little PC in a cool form factor, said to be based on its "performance level" X7A PC, a version of a modular PC that failed to achieve its Kickstarter goals last year. This seems clearly aimed at the living room and Valve's "Big Picture" initiative.

What graphics hardware does thing have? My graphics cards are huge and that thing is so little. Is it intended to play PC games? I know that graphics quality has stagnated given that consoles is largely holding back the need for heavy duty graphics cards, I don't want this kind of low graphics hardware to stagnating graphic fidelity.

Imagine that instead of console graphics stagnating graphics on the PC, you have Piston stagnating graphic fidelity on the PC, a double whammy. I'm scared!
