Valve (paid programmers) fixed the drivers for my RX580 eGPU for a T430 (2012 thinkpad laptop)... I could run GTAV full screen...
I could even see the pci transaction rate.... And conclude that anything above PCIe2 single lane is overrated except for software decoded video....
This was way before even the rumors of a steam deck started...
I genuinely thought they intended to fix drivers for VR...
Unfortunately my steam machine is still a useless brick for gaming thanks to the focus on nvidia by the manufacturers...
My steam machine couldn't even serialize fullscreen (4k) without graphical glitches...
My RX580 did with ease... And even my odroid xu4 could at least drive the monitor albeit with 2.5k
Even at the time of the steam machine, AMD was the better choice and it could have helped jump start it better...

Thank you for helping to keep GamingOnLinux civil and safe!
