Steam Machine vs Gaming PC (RTX 4060-class)
Machine: Living-room SteamOS PC. Roughly PS5-class rasterization — a true 1080p/1440p machine, not the native-4K box the marketing implies. 8 GB VRAM is its real ceiling.
PC: The same GPU tier as the Machine, but Windows — the openness vs convenience comparison.
