NVIDIA Could Be Developing Super Secret Hardware Planned For Gamers – It’s Not a GPU

Greg apparently AMD pledged full out of the box support for the new SteamOS from day 1. It was that Indian guy speaking on stage. Incase the name didn't give it away.
That just says they'll support SteamOS (linux), which they already do because AMD do have drivers for Linux. It doesn't say "full support", which in my mind would be drivers that work and let you play games with optimal performance and no major bugs. Curb your enthusiasm bro!

Edit:
My understanding is steamOS is available for PC and is a complete OS like Linux. Steambox is an exclusive to either Nvidia or AMD or is this again available to either either?
I did make an Edit and can anyone clarify please?
If I owned Nvidia I would go out and buy Razer - same green and black styling, and good range of peripherals that just need good drivers (which the nvidia team is awesome at). Put the Nvidia brand behind the Razer name and I think it would squash Logitech out of the market.

That's your mind though. In your mind the only things that are important are Corporate Weasel Benchmarks, Bungholio points and vitamin C intake.

Well ok nvidia have had some bad drivers as of late but well generally they are usually rock solid and very good. Lets not gripe about a few bad eggs out of a generally decent driver release that nvidia usually puts out. I duno about amd drivers but i thought they were quite often temperamental and not just one off bad drivers?
Soldato
The NV forum disagrees with that one off claim.
If we're going down to that level then every driver both companies make are **** poor as you see complaints each and every time both sides release a new driver.

Seeing as my rig is currently hooked up to the living room TV - I might install this and keep it there. Don't really use my i7 rig for anything other than gaming! That's assuming both the OS and driver support is up to the task...
That's because the internet tends to stew on the bad. I bet you your right arm more than half the reported faults on there in recent months have been people being end users with underlying system faults or bad overclocks looking for blame else where.
The 320/226 branch have been fairly ropey, but like most cases on forums like this people spread through word of mouth instead of-actual-experiences they've had themselves. Sad...
I read this morning that Intel's Haswell has built in 3G and tie ins with the NSA. Why don't you go and spread that somewhere.

First Razer would have to make a good product. I had an Imperator and it broke in less than a year. I went to Logitech and haven't had a problem after years of ownership.

The point is not to exaggerates the claims of one side in the first place then we would not need to go down this road again period.
Soldato
1) Which going for both sides when it comes to user error but that would mean NV users are making more errors lately wouldn't it.
2) Most on the NV form post there own experiences and the issues threads for the last 3-4 months i have never seen so big.

Please don't turn this thread into a war. Both have probs with different PEBKAC issues mainly and can be sorted with some info/help.
Soldato
I agree but i did see your thread over there a while back with issues, but at least you dont try to claim the drivers are better than they are.
And i think that is enough from me as i have made my point and that i would not have posted here at all if it was not for that claim which could not have come at a time when it could not be more further from the truth, but better perpetuated driver claims is clearly a hard habit to kick.

Any other specualtions on what this is?

It was obviously the SteamOS announcement imo.
