How well the steam client runs on a Orange pi 5 max?

[GustavoM]

Title. I'm about to get my hands on one, and I'd like to know how well it performs.

I don’t think it will run at all on arm.

There is a serious reason why you decided to choose a Raspberry Pi computer ??

It is an expensive, incompatible, and inefficient device. $60 +$10 case, $10 charger, $10 memory card, $10 something I hadn't thought of. For $100, you can buy at least two used complete office computers, much more powerful, and giving much more possibilities.

These office computers can be large or small, there is a large selection, some are very small if you need something small.

Such a pi is good if you want to produce 100 screens for ordering food or something similar. If it has to be new, and very tiny.

If you want to buy one, and you are not some enthusiast who, for example, wants to make videos about it and sell these videos, I don't see any reason to buy them. Not to mention playing games.

I will (definitely) not be able to play the latest games with it yes, but its a decent pick if you consider how comically low the power draw is plus its performance per watt. Which is (decently) enough for a daily/work usage.

"B-but why are you trying to run the steam client in it then?", you may ask.
To test and, who knows, maybe (one day) being able to run Crysis at full speed, on a native steam arm client -- which (valve) is working on one right at this very instant.

Whatever you want.
I am of the opinion that if someone wants, they can take a knife and gouge a hole through their stomach.

5V5A Type C Power Supply = 25W
The office computers I mentioned can easily work in energy-saving mode up to 40W.

Ok, I reached for my notes.
i3-4160 (hd 4400) ; ssd 240 gb ; 8 gb ram (5 for $100 ??)
(edit: Full performance without power saving mode:)
13W - windows desktop
25W - work in windows programs
43W - playing games


Let everyone think what they want.
I said my opinion and I move on.

To run x86/x64 binary code (like most games...) on an ARM, it needs to software emulate an x86/x64 processor.

Pi has enough power to emulate 80's systems, like arcade machines or home computers. Probably also DosBOX now, maybe even with 3dfx ... I have not checked.

That was pretty handy, thank you.
