Valve quietly changes Steam Machine 4K claim: 4K 60 FPS becomes “up to 4K”

Valve has changed the wording on the Steam Machine hardware page. The CPU & GPU section no longer says “4K gaming at 60 FPS with FSR.” It now says “Up to 4K gaming with FSR 4.1,” still referring to the discrete semi-custom AMD desktop-class CPU and GPU. AMD has just made FSR 4.1 available for RDNA 3.

The change was spotted by the Hardware & Steam, which posted a before-and-after comparison of the same section. Note, that some users may still see the cached version as the page was updated today.

The updated wording is more careful. It removes the fixed 60 FPS target and adds FSR 4.1 by name. This is also the first time Valve’s public Steam Machine page directly lists FSR 4.1 support for the system.

Steam Machine uses a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 CPU and a semi-custom RDNA 3 GPU with 28 Compute Units. The GPU includes 8GB of GDDR6 memory, while the system uses 16GB of DDR5 memory. Valve previously said internal testing showed most Steam titles running at 4K 60 FPS with FSR, though some games needed heavier upscaling or lower frame rates with VRR.
