Steam Machines Performance Comparison
A Steam Machine is a PC for your living room. You play your games on your big screen TV while sitting comfortably on your sofa. Steam Machines run a Linux-based operating system called SteamOS and are controlled with a game pad instead of a mouse and keyboard.
At CES in January, Valve announced details of the first generation of Steam Machines, a total of 14 machines from 14 different manufacturers. Valve and its partners released initial hardware specifications, though in some cases the details remain unknown. The first batch of machines come with a wide variety of hardware with prices to match. We'll update this page as new details emerge so check back regularly for the latest figures.
Vendors are welcome to contact us to confirm or correct the hardware specifications and prices on this page.
- This table is based on the information released to date, however, all details are subject to change.
- 3DMark scores are based on 3DMark Fire Strike scores from Windows systems with similar hardware. Higher is better. Performance under SteamOS with Linux drivers may be different.
- Value is the 3DMark score divided by the price. Higher values mean better value for money.
