Steam Machine vs PlayStation 5 Pro
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.
PS5 Pro: The stronger console comparison — notably above the Machine in raw GPU, with PSSR upscaling.
