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.

    but as the specs bump

    Eh, 4k is already at the point of diminishing returns. There are 8k displays for a while now, but nobody buys them.

    Rather, create 5k, please.

      I wish game devs knew how to optimize for storage better. Let me install HD instead of 4k games if I choose. I do the same thing for anime series because HD barely takes up any space at all.

            No, bad transcoding settings while ripping. Lycoris Recoil is especially bad, 1.5 GB per episode while 300 MB mpeg is usual. Ah, to note that the lossless encoding they use on DVDs is over 6 GB per episode.
