The valve has added a new performance monitor to the steam that can help you understand why no game can run smoothly or not. Not only does it break the overall frame rate of a game, it can tell you how many of them were generated by techniques like DLSS of NVidia or FSR of AMD, According to a post,

The change is included as part of the update of the steam client which is now available, although the valve notes that this “first version” focuses on “Windows users and the most common GPU hardware”.

The company says that the new performance monitor currently provides up to four separate levels of expansion: a single FPS price, FPS details, CPU and GPU use, and “FPS, CPU, GPU and RAM full details.” The more you choose to show, the performance of your screen will be taken by the performance monitor.

Steam earlier offered a simple FPS counter, but can help better understand the significant difference between the frames produced by your graphics core by separating the frame generated from the frame provided fully provided by your graphics core. “Frame generation cannot help with things such as input latency that matters to competitive gamers, but it can visually lubricate the things on today’s high fresh rate monitor,” says valve In a wide support document About the performance monitor.

In practice, this should mean that you can see if your game seems to be just running on 30 FPS because it is actually running on 30 FPS inside the game engine, even if you are looking at a blind smooth image due to the “fake frame” of NVidia and AMD. (This is a complete debate in the PC gaming community, and it appears that the valve is not taking the side here.)

The valve has already tasted handheld gamers the taste of these quick insights Mangoes In steam decks and steamos, which allows you to monitor your CPU, graphics, RAM and carefully get out of your battery life. But being a way to manufacture in desktop steam will make insight more accessible to many more gamers.

In the future, the valve says that its plan is to “pursue some additional pieces in the performance overlay, to detect some common hardware performance scenarios, and to show a big summary of your game performance in overlay when hit-tab.”
