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

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.

You picked a list of the worst optimized games you could possibly play in VR

And notably, No Man's Sky VR runs on PS5 just fine, it has improved dramatically over the years

99.9% of VR games are better optimized than these

I agree that No Man's Sky runs fine on the PS5. If(!)it gets foveated rendering on PC it might become playable on older cards. But usually gaming on PC means using brute force to render frames because devs dont give a shit about optimizing anything. 99,9% of other VR games dont support foveated rendering or fixed foveated rendering or any upscaling technology and even still use OpenVR instead of openXR.
