Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux (www.heise.de)

The HDMI Forum, responsible for the HDMI specification, continues to stonewall open source. Valve's Steam Machine theoretically supports HDMI 2.1, but the mini-PC is software-limited to HDMI 2.0. As a result, more than 60 frames per second at 4K resolution are only possible with limitations.

Then buy a DP to HDMI 2.1 dongle

What we want is a solution for customers who don't understand the benefit of DP and won't buy an adapter when there's already HDMI ports on both devices.

No problem for me, but many consumers don't think that far.
