Now that FSR 4.1 is available on the Steam Machine, Valve seems to have used it to update the store page to, well, temper expectations. Valve now claims that the CPU and GPU combo can do “up to 4K gaming with FSR 4.1,” which is a much safer claim.

    Not surprising, I’m actually a bit shocked they pushed the 4k thing so hard when they had chosen this config a while ago.

    Sucks for valve. I was hoping this thing would be a knockout just a little pricey due to ramagedon.

    At half the price this would be more attractive. I’m sure it’ll get dev support like the deck. But it’s hard to be excited for last gen perf at higher prices.

      I guarantee any game made by Valve, on GoldSource or Source or ‘Source2’ will be capable of hitting 4K 60fps on this thing.

      If games were actually optimised for this kind of hardware, there would be no problem. We dont actually need all these hardware upgrades every year. Games still run like shit, at some point we have to demand better from our games, rather than constantly upgrading our setups for nothing.

        This, Valve spent a lot of time optimising their own engine to run on potatoes because of Dota’s popularity some time back. But ofc they’ve added a whole bunch of stuff afterwards that undid bunch of it. Havent tried anything with source engine since early “open beta” days of Deadlock so not sure where it stands now.

          Source 2 is overall pretty good. It’s definitely one of the most performant engines, in the right hands. I’m not fussed about bleeding edge graphics though, I’d much rather have more framerate instead of a few more lights.
