Steam Machine excels with ultrawide displays, outperforming 4K

Valve's Steam Machine performs surprisingly well with ultrawide displays, offering a better experience than with 4K resolution in demanding games. While 4K benchmarks showed frame rates too low for action titles like Cyberpunk 2077, the Steam Machine achieved a playable 91 frames per second at ultrawide resolution (3440 x 1440). Even strategy games like Civilization VII ran smoothly at this resolution, indicating that ultrawide monitors may be a more suitable pairing for the Steam Machine than previously thought, especially for desktop use.
