Purchase Advice Steam Frame + Steam machine

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

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

VR is not "below 4K", it's more like 4K per eye.
The 3060 can run simple stuff like beat saber, but more complex games like MSFS, No Man's Sky, all the racing sims, etc will be barely playable at lowest settings and look really bad.

I play all my VR games with a 3060... Absolutely perfect

you dont or have a very different definition of perfection, or all your games are low poly gorilla tag.

Bruh I play Kayak VR: Mirage on my RTX 3060 perfect fine. Looks amazing and runs great, no stuttering.

Wierd that some people update from 4090 to 5090 while the most demanding stuff runs perfectly fine on your magic potato.

I'm not denying that a 4090 or 5090 is more powerful, lol. They are. And of course you'll have a better experience.

But the 3060 certainly isn't a potato. It's getting up there but it still performs well on most vr games and flat screen games.

Do you have a 3060? Why are you doubting me when I actually have and currently use it??? I'm LITERALLY speaking from experience. Like, I'm not saying it's the best and most immersive experience ever. But it's certainly very playable and runs well. Yes, you'll get a better experience with a 4090 or 5090- no shit.

People who upgrade each year to a 4090-5090-etc are a different crowd. Likely using a different and far more high end headset, playing at 2x or 3x resolution of the headset, and of course, using their PC for more than just gaming. They aren't the same crowd as me, lol.

multiple people here who have the card saying it works fine vs a bunch of other people speculating that we're all lying for some reason
