The latest Steam beta lets users add their PC specs to reviews

User reviews on Steam may get more informative after a Steam Client Beta update released on Thursday, which adds an option for users to attach their hardware specs to game reviews. Steam users have always been able to share their specs in the text of their reviews, but the option to automatically include that data could encourage more users to add it, potentially making reviews more useful.

Lenovo Legion Go 2 SteamOS Edition Revealed

There's no shortage of handheld gaming PCs to choose from lately, but the Steam Deck has been a popular option thanks in part to its operating system. SteamOS works far better than Windows on these machines, and fortunately, it's available on another device: Lenovo's Legion Go 2. The company recently rolled out the Legion Go S with SteamOS, but for anyone looking for a handheld with more heavy-duty hardware--and Switch-like controllers--the Legion Go 2 has been a solid option.

SteamOS vs. Windows on dedicated GPUs: It's complicated, but Windows has an edge

SteamOS underperforms Windows on systems with dedicated 8GB GPUs, fares better on integrated GPUs, and more frequently encounters apparent GPU RAM limits.

Why won't Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama.

SteamOS compresses luminance with chroma subsampling to deliver higher resolution and frame rates over limited HDMI 2.0 drivers, reducing color fidelity and VRR support.

Tech industry

Testing shows why the Steam Machine's 8GB of graphics RAM could be a problem

8GB of GPU VRAM is increasingly a performance bottleneck on SteamOS, causing greater slowdowns than equivalent Windows configurations at higher resolutions.
