Steam Machine Should Play Most Games "Great" At 4K / 60fps

Valve clearly feels confident in the power of the upcoming Steam Machine. The company has revealed that in testing for the system, "the majority of Steam titles play great at 4K 60fps with FSR," per a new blog post about Steam hardware. For those unfamiliar with FSR, the acronym stands for FidelityFX Super Resolution and in the most basic sense helps upscale image quality.Of course, "most" games doesn't mean "all." As such, Valve adds there will be Steam Machine games that "require more upscaling than others, and it may be preferable to play at a lower frame rate with VRR to maintain a 1080p internal resolution." No specific games are mentioned, and there's no way to predict how future titles may perform on the Steam Machine. The company is currently focused on HDMI VRR (variable refresh rate, which helps to smooth out performance), upscaling improvements, and "optimizing ray-tracing performance in the driver" for the Steam Machine.When Steam Machine actually becomes available to buy is still up in the air.

The company originally planned to already reveal those details to the public.Continue Reading at GameSpot
