Denuvu has been cracked, but god damn almost all the new games coming out using it also run like dookie on my aging PC (Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 1660 Super, 16GB DDR4). The only recent game that runs flawlessly at a solid 60fps is Pragmata.
Wanna build a new PC, but I ain’t gonna pay almost twice what it cost to build what I have to get a rig that isn’t even better but more or less the same with some extra features like raytracing or dlss.
Even got Crimson Desert on PS5 because I liked it after pirating it, but it only gets about 40fps on my computer. It doesn’t run much better on a base PS5 either… But at least it doesn’t look ugly as shit when I go inside a building because I don’t have the ability to do raytracing and their entite lighting system relies on it. 🤷♂️
I always just upgrade my PC piecemeal. The biggest component for you to upgrade first would be your GPU. Even a RTX3060 or a RX6600 would be an improvement over what you have there.
If you went with the AMD option and installed bazzite/linux that would be pretty close to the specs for the upcoming steam machine. You would probably benefit from some of the optimizations Valve will inevitably do for their hardware over the next couple years… That is if you don’t need Windows for anything.
On your CPU you have a ton of options on the AM4 platform and 16GB of ram is still very usable.
Or just see what the actual steam machine does on pricing. But I’m no longer as optimistic about that given what Valve just did with pricing on the steam deck.
Denuvo hasn’t been cracked. It’s just that the first generation of kids less tech literate than their parents are comfortably installing rival rootkits
I built basically that same PC in 2019 (maybe added that video card later) and was looking to upgrade this year. Nope. Found a new love of metroidvanias…

Even without the price bs rn, I wouldn’t have expected the Steam Machine to be more than a sidegrade.
The steam machine will be about as powerful as your PS5. It’s unfortunate with pricing being where it is.

It’s been fully cracked more recently than the initial hypervisor bypass.
