Hey, got this work station PC for free a while ago.. used it for work and what not but was wondering if I can use it as a SteamOS (Bazzite) gaming console on a tv instead of pc gaming…. It’s a HP Z2 G9 SFF, Can it run any good games on a 1080 40” TV? Or should I just buy a second hand gaming pc or PS4-5? I wanna be able to play the games in my steam library, GTA 5, Red Dead 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Horizon 5, Marvel Spider-Man Miles Morales, Resident Evil 3-2, The Elder Scrolls Sky Rim Special Edition, Terraria, CarX, Assetto Corsa Competizione, The Last of us Part I, Pay Day 2, Counter Strike 2, Ride 4, Half Life, NBA 2K24, Halo The Master Chief Collection, ARK, Border Lands
2, Every Battlefield and BlackOPS 6.
The TV is a 1080p Sony Bravia KDL40Z5500. Not the best I know but I just wanna use it for some light gaming after a relaxed day of work. If it’s not the best idea, what can I use it for?

It’s not made for gaming more of a professional laptop really expensive but if you can sell it buy something with a rtx or rx
But if it’s your only choice yeah it will definitely run some great games
yeah thatll do fine
It should be fine for 1080p games just don’t expect to high of settings, and make sure drivers are up to date
I would say in performance your looking around like 2070, Mayne even 2060 area level of performance as a quick look the 3060 does beat it by a decent chunk
It’s a RTX 3060 12GB with a bit less cores and more than a bit less frequency. It’s still fine for gaming, just manage your expectations as it’s a slowed down version of a budget friendly GPU from 4 years ago.
Age of Empires 2 is a good game
Try playing some games to see but You could always swap the gpu that cpu has been great for me so far and it’s capable of 4800mhz ram if you don’t have that speed then upgrade that as well so it has potential for a few hundred bucks to be a good gaming pc
I think you’ll run into some problems, maybe compatibility issues, the only way to know is to try playing a few games (better try recent games)
Yes you can play almost any game on it
