    You’re asking me to create the design? I’m not an engineer.

    yeah, so the hardware does not exist yet. but valve is not AMD either, I doubt they have the money (yes) or the expertise to effectively become a graphics card manufacturer. probably they would have to come up with their own data and power sockets, and then it wouldn’t be compatible with anything else, maybe a steam machine 2

      It wouldn’t be compatible with anything else? Like the current overpriced and underpowered hardware which they designed themselves?

        yes it wouldn’t be compatible with anything else, but you would be even more angry because the research and manufacturing costs would make it even more expensive.

        complain to micron and openai about the price, not valve. they can’t do anything.

          Im not angry. I actually would like to see a new type of PC design.

          I think the ATX design is limiting PC design and making systems much larger than they need to be.

          Valve should have designed a new standard that also includes power supplies and discrete GPUs for more space efficient design that also makes cooling easier.
