If anyone here is familiar with how steam handles multiple computers and things like game settings.

I have it on two computers and wondering if steam carries over things like graphics settings. For example if I have a game set with graphics to suit one screen and then run the same game on the other computer with a bigger screen will the graphics settings stick on each machine or do they carry over each time you change which machine you use?
 

How do I tell if my game uses Steam Cloud?
Developers are able to completely customize how The Steam Cloud is used for their games, including which user files are uploaded.

The Steam Storepage will show a Steam Cloud logo in the upper right if a game uses the Steam Cloud. But, you may need to work with the developer or the community to determine exactly which files or settings are integrated.


How can I enable or disable The Steam Cloud?
The Steam Cloud can be toggled for individual games, or as a global Steam setting for all games. When Steam Cloud functionality of a game is disabled, all progress that would normally be saved via the cloud will only be saved locally on the machine where the progress was made.

Individual games:
From the Steam Library, right click on any game and select Properties....
Under the General tab, the Cloud Synchronization setting can be toggled.
