Analysis — The Forgotten Tapes: Analog Nightmares on the Steam Machine
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 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.
It already clears 60 at high. 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 → not a fit for the Deck, or streamed to the Frame on a virtual screen.
