Key Points:
- AMD's FSR 4 upscaling technology is confirmed to be coming to the Steam Machine, though it won't be ready at launch, according to Steam OS developer Pierre-Loup Griffais.
- Initially, AMD suggested FSR 4 would be exclusive to Radeon 9000 series GPUs, but support is expanding, with an official July release window announced for Radeon 7000 series.
- FSR 4 offers better image quality and improved performance over FSR 3, allowing for lower internal resolutions while maintaining visual fidelity and reducing CPU limitations on Steam Machines.
- Valve and AMD are collaborating to integrate FSR 4 into Steam Machines, with automatic upgrades expected through Proton, potentially aligning the Linux release with the Windows rollout.
- Currently, using FSR 4 on Linux requires manual setup, but Valve and AMD aim to simplify this process for users in the future.
