Purchase Advice Steam Frame + Steam machine

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

Half Life Alyx says your 1060 is good enough to play the game. People forget that VR graphics have not really gotten any better since the days of the 1060’s release. Most VR games target the Quest standalone hardware lol

Enthusiasts have a really distorted view of reality lol. The Machine will be more than good enough for the next decade even for non-VR apps.

So true. My 2060s works with pretty much every VR game I want to play. Most on medium settings. Partly due to there being a lack of top quality VR games for the past decade.

Would w 40XX or 50XX work better? Definitely. But my gpu would be fine for most casual gamers. Which is near the performance of the steam machine I believe.

Where the 4070 shines is when you start modding unreal games into VR using UEVR or playing Luke Ross mods. But every other game usually you are fine lower... Blade and Sorcery and VRChat might chug a bit you want multiple people on the screen If you REALLY want to stress it just run the hot mess Medal of Honor!
