Technically, the Steam Machine supports HDMI 2.1. However, Valve and AMD are not allowed to offer an open-source driver for it.

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.

      I’m pretty sure the saying goes, “don’t hate the player, hate the game.” Which implies that you shouldn’t be blaming the bad actors but the bad system that causes it to be that way.

        Which is asinine both here and in its original use. If there weren’t bad actors the system wouldn’t be broken. The players make the game.
