The HDMI Forum, responsible for the HDMI specification, continues to stonewall open source. Valve’s Steam Machine theoretically supports HDMI 2.1, but the mini-PC is software-limited to HDMI 2.0. As a result, more than 60 frames per second at 4K resolution are only possible with limitations.
Not that this cube would run any modern game at 4k and more than 60 fps.
VRR is very useful at these midrange specs though. Avoiding tearing and lurching down to 30fps is honestly the best upgrade I’ve made for my PC in years.
More tvs need to support G-Sync and Freesync (like my Hisense) instead of just supporting the HDMI version of VRR (like my Sony…).
Nobody said you need to play a modern game. Just play an older or indie game and enjoy gloriousness.
4k 120hz on the steam cube?? Sounds like a job for Lossless Scaling 4x Frame Gen! /s
