Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server. Auto-scan gives a rough read since browsers limit what a webpage can see; for an exact comparison, upload a system info file (with a step-by-step guide below) or type your specs in yourself.
Upload a system info file
Don't know your specs off the top of your head? Most operating systems can export a system report as a plain text file. Generate one below, then drop it in — it's read entirely on your device and never leaves your browser.
Windows — generate with dxdiag (works on any version)
Press Win + R to open Run, type dxdiag, press Enter.
Wait for it to finish loading (a few seconds).
Click "Save All Information..." in the bottom right.
Save it anywhere as a .txt file, then upload that file below.
macOS — generate with Terminal
Open Terminal (Spotlight search → type "Terminal").
Paste this command and press Enter: system_profiler SPHardwareDataType SPDisplaysDataType SPMemoryDataType > ~/Desktop/sysinfo.txt
A file called sysinfo.txt will appear on your Desktop.
A file called sysinfo.txt will appear in your current folder.
Upload that file below.
Type in your real specs
More accurate than anything a browser can detect. Find these in:
Windows → Task Manager → Performance tab, or Win+R → dxdiag ·
macOS → Apple menu → About This Mac ·
Linux → lscpu and lspci | grep VGA.
Leave anything blank if you don't know it — the comparison will just skip that category.

Steam Machine specs at a glance (2026)
Valve's Steam Machine is a fixed-purpose living-room console-PC hybrid running SteamOS. Here's the full spec sheet it's compared against on this page:
It depends on your CPU thread count, RAM, and GPU class relative to the specs above. Most desktop PCs with a discrete GPU from the last few years will match or beat the Steam Machine; laptops with integrated graphics usually fall behind on GPU performance specifically.
Why can't this page just read my exact specs automatically?
Browsers deliberately restrict how much hardware detail a webpage can see, as a privacy and fingerprinting protection. This tool reads what's legitimately exposed (logical CPU threads, an approximate RAM tier, and a GPU renderer string where available) and offers a manual entry option for anyone who wants an exact, rather than estimated, comparison.
How is the GPU comparison calculated?
The tool matches your GPU's name against known performance tiers relative to the Steam Machine's 28-compute-unit RDNA 3 GPU. It's a keyword-based estimate, not a rendered benchmark, so it's most useful as a rough directional signal rather than an exact FPS prediction.
I don't know how to check my own specs — what do I do?
Use the "Upload a system info file" option. It includes a short guide for Windows (dxdiag), macOS, and Linux that generates a plain-text report in a couple of clicks — no command-line knowledge required beyond copy-pasting one line. The file is read locally in your browser and never sent anywhere.
