Steam Machine
~Radeon RX 7600 / GeForce RTX 4060 class · 8 GB GDDR6 (dedicated graphics memory) · 1080p–1440p native · 4K 60 with FSR upscaling
One call covering Low, Medium and High— this verdict is derived from Steam's compatibility data, which is a single signal per game, so we can't honestly split it by settings tier yet. Measure it on your Machine and this splits into three real tiers.
Steam Deck
AMD RDNA 2, 8 CU (~1.6 TFLOPs) · 800p handheld (1280×800) · 15 W TDP
Steam Frame
2160×2160 per eye · 72–144 Hz · standalone + PC streaming
A flatscreen game. On the Frame it's played on a virtual big screen, best streamed from your Machine over the 6 GHz link.
Analysis — America's Army: Proving Grounds on the Steam Machine
This action game is GPU-bound on the Machine — frame-rate scales with resolution and post-processing, so upscaling (FSR) is your biggest lever when frames get tight.
8 GB of VRAM is comfortable for this title at 1080p; you're unlikely to hit the texture-streaming wall unless you push 1440p with max textures.
A green verdict means the Machine isn't the bottleneck here. Spend the headroom on a higher refresh target or 1440p + FSR Quality rather than maxing settings that barely move image quality.
Big screen → the Steam Machine (runs great). Handheld → Playable on the Deck with tweaks, or streamed to the Frame on a virtual screen.
