Steam Machine's HDMI port supports HDMI 2.1 features despite lacking official certification

bgr.com

The Steam Machine features an HDMI 2.0 port that supports HDMI 2.1 capabilities, despite not having official certification. This is due to the HDMI Forum's restriction on certifying HDMI 2.1 for Linux devices, the operating system used by Steam hardware. The port will still offer 4K/120Hz, HDR, FreeSync, and CEC. The device also includes a DisplayPort 1.4 connection, offering higher bandwidth than HDMI 2.0, though the HDMI port is expected to provide excellent performance.
