    Do we know how this will compare to the rdna 3 stack? I’m assuming somewhere between 7700 and 7800?

      No, weaker. It’s an overclocked 7600M (laptop GPU). There’s many leaks that show that Valve specifically targeted a low cost by using laptop components that AMD couldn’t sell.

      The CPU is also weak: it has 2 big cores and 4 little cores. Estimated cost of materials (before the RAM shortage) was ~425 USD, now the cost of materials is ~550 USD

        So I have basically a whole pc leftover, 11600k + 7700xt from upgrades over the last year or two which is why I was asking. I guess that’d be fairly more powerful. 4k felt pretty bad on it though.

        Edit: I’m assuming fsr is the “4k 60” req. I wonder if that’s going to include framegen?

        So, $ 633 - $ 715 if they go by average markup margins (15-30%). But that’s a big IF. Seeing as this is a low volume product compared to giants like Apple or Dell for example, I would expect the possibility of even greater numbers. I am assuming Valve is underestimating the initial demand and does not plan to market the product outside of their current countries and is not planning to advertise the product heavily.
