According to the latest rumors, VS. may be developing a new Steam host, using AMD RDNA 4 graphics card.The source of the news comes from the promoter @HandleDeck, who discovered that Van is developing a driver for the RX 9070 graphics card that will be released next month.

The push master said: "AMD Radeon RX9070 is the first graphics card with RDNA 4 technology and FSR 4. It is only designed for desktop equipment. It is expected that it may enter portable devices after many years, but it is currently limited to desktop machines.Valve is already working on it. In fact, as far as my friend heard, Valve is putting a lot of effort into the drivers of these RX 9070 GPUs. The question is, why is Valve so interested?

Considering that most graphics cards on Steam come from Nvidia, this specific graphics card model and AMD architecture are interesting.One of the main reasons may be that V agency is developing a desktop host with Steamos permit internally.Valve seems to be considering using AMD's 9070 graphics card as the core of its desktop host.Valve's Steam host code is currently FREMONT, but we don't know its actual name.It's also possible that they'll use this graphics card to create some kind of external GPU for the Steam Deck 2, or just for third parties to build their own devices."

The uncle finally mentioned that Valve had other possible reasons for making drivers for the upcoming RDNA 4 GPU.However, the possibility of the new Steam host is indeed very high.

It has been nearly ten years since Valve has tried Steam Machine's failure. This hardware aims to bring a PC -like experience to the living room.That was the first hardware product from VS., and they obviously learned a lot from it, as the subsequent releases of more successful hardware products such as Valve Index and Steam Deck show this.
