Analysis — Football Manager 2021 on the Steam Machine
Strategy games slow down as a campaign grows, not as resolution rises: late-game turns and big unit counts load the Machine's 6-core Zen 4 while the RX 7600-class GPU idles. Smaller maps or fewer AI opponents speed things up more than any graphics preset.
Very high frame-rates buy little in a strategy game; spend the headroom on detail and shadows instead.
ProtonDB is more cautious than Valve's Deck Playable rating: 72 reports average Silver (runs with minor issues), so expect to read a fix or two before it's smooth.
