Analysis — Death's Gambit: Afterlife on the Steam Machine
A adventure game like this is GPU-light — the RX 7600-class GPU clears high frame-rates with room to spare, so you can chase 120 Hz+ rather than just 60.
8 GB of VRAM is comfortable for this title at 1080p; you're unlikely to hit the texture-streaming wall unless you push 1440p with max textures.
It already clears 60 at high. Spend the headroom on a higher refresh target or 1440p + FSR Quality rather than maxing settings that barely move image quality.
Big screen → the Steam Machine (runs great). Handheld → Steam Deck Verified — great on the go, or streamed to the Frame on a virtual screen.
