The Steam Deck's GPU is capable of 1.6 FP32 TFlops, which is on the same level as that of the GPUs found in the last-gen PS4 or Xbox One consoles, but more efficient with future-proofed capabilities thanks to a newer architecture. The Steam Deck can be used as a standard PC as well.įor this reason, we're going with the strict fundamentals of the Steam Deck's GPU with one that can produce a similar compute power (Teraflops).

This makes hunting down a similar GPU in the desktop space quite hard, as certain RDNA 2 specific features can't be used on entry-level GPUs, new or old. For reference, the PS5 has 36 compute units, the Xbox Series S has 20, and the lowest-level Radeon graphics card has 28 CUs in the RX 6600M. However, the Steam Deck’s GPU is a cut-down version of the main RDNA 2 GPU, trimmed down to 8 compute units (CUs). The graphics chip is built on the same RDNA 2 architecture from AMD that is present on its desktop Radeon RX 6000 series, as well as the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. The CPU is a 4-core AMD Zen 2 processor, which is basically Ryunderclocked from its, but the GPU is a little more complicated affair. Starting with the core components, the CPU and GPU, Valve is using a fairly component for its APU. Steam Deck Gaming PC Build Equivalentįor this PC build, let’s assume that component prices are not as abnormally high as they are in current times due to a global chip shortage. The 512 GB model also comes with an an anti-glare etched glass screen.
