FPS Monitor – hardware in-game & desktop overlays on the Steam Machine
Can the Steam Machine run FPS Monitor – hardware in-game & desktop overlays?
Not reliably — Valve's SteamOS compatibility check flags FPS Monitor – hardware in-game & desktop overlays as Unsupported, and the Steam Machine runs SteamOS.
Red here means a compatibility problem (often anti-cheat or a launcher), not too little GPU power, so lower settings won't fix it.
