Honestly, trying to find a direct equivalent to the Steam Deck's GPU is a bit like comparing apples to oranges because of its custom APU design. That said, performance-wise, it fits somewhere between a GTX 1050 and RX 560. Just don't expect it to run Cyberpunk 2077 on ultra settings!

The Steam Deck's custom APU combines AMD's Zen 2 and RDNA 2 architectures, making it kind of a unique beast. But if you're looking for a comparison, it's somewhat close to an Nvidia GTX 1050 or an AMD Radeon RX 560. It's not exactly the same, but it'll give you a ballpark idea of where it stands performance-wise.

GTX 1050 or RX 560, roughly. Managed to play most of my Steam library on it without a hiccup.

It's basically an overhyped tablet, don't expect too much.
