Analysis — Are you ready for Valve Index? on the Steam Machine

CPU vs GPU

This game is GPU-bound on the Machine — frame-rate scales with resolution and post-processing, so upscaling (FSR) is your biggest lever for a locked 60.

8 GB VRAM

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.

What to expect

Are you ready for Valve Index? isn't SteamOS-rated yet. As a game on the Machine's RX 7600-class GPU, plan for a 1080p experience — frame-rate scales with resolution and post-processing, so FSR is your main lever for a steady 60. Games like it in this genre — e.g. SteamVR Performance Test — land red on the Steam Machine, so expect broadly similar. Own it on a Valve device? Submit your FPS and we'll publish a measured verdict.
