HDMI 2.0 can do 4K 120 Hz 4:2:0

Right, but HDMI 2.0 can't do FreeSync
I suppose, it's just an error when they copypasted the stuff in the table

I have been looking for any indicators on pricing for these. PCGamer had an article on the controller.

From the [article](https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/controllers/steam-controller-specs-availability-hands-on/):

I've used the new Steam Controller at Valve HQ and I'm glad to report all the buttons are in the right place. It feels comfortable, easy to use, and importantly, there's no learning curve. It's made from that same black plastic that anyone who has used modern Valve hardware will recognise(sic). It doesn't feel cheap, certainly not as cheap as the original controller, but it doesn't feel high-end, either. I'm hopeful this means a reasonable price tag—$5 might be pushing it, but affordable to match the Deck nevertheless.

How is that possible? 4k@120Hz is possible via DSC but no VRR/FreeSync.
These are HDMI 2.1 specs, which doesn't work on Linux-AMD-Systems.

HDMI 2.0 can do 4K 120 Hz 4:2:0, 4K 120 Hz 4:4:4 requires HDMI 2.1.

I'm just happy that I held off from buying a new controller. I nearly gave in, last week. The Steam Controller is going to be an instabuy.

If I end up buying the Steam Machine, my very first step after booting will be changing the startup video to this:

Steam Controller is day 1 buy.
I'll probably buy the Steam Frame if I get a bonus or something at work.
The Steam Machine depends on price. In most cases, with the exception of consoles, the price is higher than building it yourself.

Standalone VR headset + streaming from PC option sounds great!

But I don't understand why you announce gaming devices with just 16GB RAM in 2025. Some games are already recommending 32GB. It's odd to save so little money for a potential game killer in the next 1-2 years (since at least the VR headset is probably not upgradable).

But great to see SteamOS on all devices!

I'm assuming you can use keyboard and mouse for the non-VR games. I try to avoid controllers when they're not absolutely required.

Woah woah woah, wait...
Gabecube Specs:

HDMI 2.0

Up to 4K @ 120Hz
Supports HDR, FreeSync, and CEC

How is that possible? 4k@120Hz is possible via DSC but no VRR/FreeSync.
These are HDMI 2.1 specs, which doesn't work on Linux-AMD-Systems.

Oh, and the controller in red, please, thx!

And Steam Frame needs Lighthouse support. Can't remove the stations here, there are ugly holes in the wall behind them!

Hopefully this will eventually be fully unlocked to work on any screen we choose.

I still hope for a way to split an ultrawide screen in two virtual monitors so i can have a game in 16:9 on the left side and chat on the right side.
Right now having custom regions and boxes with shortcuts and scripts that resize and move them feels too complex.

About 8 GB VRAM I'm confused. Is it an APU or a discrete GPU

Most likely dGPU, if it wasn't I guess there wouldn't be seperate RAM and VRAM. Interesting choice.
The whole machine is somewhat similar to my PC, RDNA3 GPU with 6c12t Zen4 is also what I have in my PC, but coupled with more VRAM and RAM.

This is a great news indeed! emoji

On the other hand, I'm a little bit afraid that concerning "Linux support" and/or "Linux anticheat support" the standard desktop Linux might get sidetracked by (immutable) SteamOS in the future (resulting not in general Linux support but in SteamOS only support). We will see how this plays out...

Anyway, I wish Valve great success with this new hardware line; hopefully great Linux things lie ahead... emoji

Steam Machine: Ryzen 5 7400F LP Edition + 16GB RAM + RX 7500 XT 8GB + 512GB Storage

Is that it?

Well it could be decent for 1080p but it totally depends on the price.

You can wishlist it already. Scroll down far enough on the new hardware page and they each have a star under them.

Valve, for the love of all the gods, let me wishlist the Controller now. I can live with not buying it now, but I want to wishlist it right now.

GPU: Semi-Custom AMD RDNA3 28CUs

Kind of surprised they didn't wait for AMD's UDNA based APUs or at least didn't use RDNA 4 based ones. But it's still better than Steam Deck's GPU.

About 8 GB VRAM I'm confused. Is it an APU or a discrete GPU? If the former, APU can use RAM itself for VRAM. May be it has extra dedicated VRAM? But if it's a discrete GPU, then 8 GB VRAM is tight.

The most interesting bit is that headset running SteamOS on ARM and the steam page claiming that it's able to play games in situ, without streaming.

When Steam Machines flopped back then, it was because Proton wasn't ready. Now it is. I have no need for a console, but this could be a complete game changer for Linux gaming. A lot of people other than me prefer gaming in the living room, and now there is a great alternative that's not enshittified, locked-down corporate garbage like...every other console out there. Image a console people can buy great games for during Steam sales for like 5 bucks each. I bet it will be a hit.

He he. We were all like: it's going to be a controller, no, it's going to be a Steam machine, no, it's going to be a VR headset.

Turns out it's all of the above.

Thank you Mister Lord Gaben Sir! emoji
