The listed GPU pairs are official comparison options, not a promise that every card produces identical frame rates. Steam does not attach a specific resolution and frame-rate target to the two rows in the captured listing. Avoid translating “recommended” into guaranteed 4K or 60 FPS without a published target and test conditions.
