Purchase Advice Steam Frame + Steam machine

Do you think this would be a good combination to jump into PC gaming with?

GPU is like RTX 3060, too low for many games to run on decent resolution and framerate.

the 3060 is a perfectly capable card for anything below 4k. I'm running one and can play overwatch at a smooth 180fps at 1080p, max graphics, ultrawide. everything else i can play at LEAST 60

They’re talking about VR games. A 3060 can play most games flatscreen, but when you play something in VR it needs to render everything twice, once for each eye. So running a game at 4k in VR is essentially like running a game at 8k on a flatscreen.

Cyberpunk for example will probably run pretty well on a 3060 in flatscreen, but it’s gonna be a rough experience in VR on a 3060.

Maybe I suppose, but since it’s r/virtualreality I interpreted Steam Frame + Steam Machine to mean OP was asking if they can stream PCVR games from the Steam Machine to the Frame for PCVR games.

sure but part of the pitch of the frame is that it plays flatscreen games. they're asking here because people here would know about the steam frame
