I wonder if this will let me see if framegen is being used in games that don’t have an explicit option to turn it on or off… 🤔

anon232,

If you use AMD, the performance overlay on windows shows whether framegen is active or not.

Being able to see your actual performance versus your framegen performance is really quite cool.

Neat!

Im not sure I like the cpu utilization being based on the base clock. A percentage that can go arbitrarily above 100 doesn't sound useful for determining bottlenecks. It must be difficult to accurately determine given all the dynamic boost stuff but since all other such utilities figured it out surely they can too. Hope they don't just leave this as good enough.

I hope it doesn’t impact my game performance 🤔

Presumably it requires the Steam Overlay, which does have a slight impact on performance (and stability). Though, unless something is really wrong, you’re not going to notice the incredibly small loss of 1fps.

Imma just stick to MangoHud cause it works with Games Outside of Steam.

Also, MangoHud has an ability to set fps_limit in a per-game way that generally results in much smoother frame-pacing than most games achieve by default. That’s awesome for eg. Dark Souls / Elden Ring, which are stuttery at 60 fps but buttery at 59 for some reason, but also for random strategy games which would be just fine at 30 fps but instead have all the fans roaring to render at 144.

Oh thank you, But most games have a fps limit right and i see this is more effective? And I have VRR on my monitor.

I’ve found that disabling VSync in games entirely and then letting MangoHud do the limiting works a bit better. Some of that will be because I’m using Proton on Linux, which has DXVK as a translation layer. Games will be trying to limit their frames the DirectX way, whereas MangoHud is limiting them the Vulkan way and is ‘closer to the monitor’ for keeping the pace right.

Since I have VRR on my monitor I won’t be needing this, but thanks.

Steam already has an FPS monitor, right? I think that’s enough for 95% of everything (and it’s very unobtrusive).

I like the info on my steam deck when emulating.
Very nice to have and you have the option to still only use the fps counter

Drbreen, do games w Steam Introduces In-Game Performance Monitor

This is my in game performance monitor:

Does it feel smooth? Yep!

Keep playing.

CatherineLily, do games w Steam Introduces In-Game Performance Monitor

I’ve been using game bar but I guess this might be less obtrusive?

Now I can stare nervously at the fps for 70% of my game time, like I do on the Deck.

alaphic,

Man… This right here is a huge part of why I decided to try going back to consoles after being a PC only gamer for like 20+ years

atomicpoet,

Why not just… turn it off?

duchess,

They meant that they even care about it, fps displayed or not.

atomicpoet,

I own a Switch, and I very much care about fps.

I suspect fps is a very big reason people are upgrading to a Switch 2 – seeing how that’s a key selling point.

Arcane2077,

Why not just… not turn it on?

cenariodantesco,

why not just… disable it?

Why not just… not look at it?

ieatpwns,

Why not just ignore it

LandedGentry,

I understand everybody here is being really annoying and repeating the same thing over and over again to you. But real question: you are aware that all of these overlays and readouts are optional, correct? It’s a pretty extreme reason to flip from PCs to console.

I’m assuming you’re being facetious or there were other reasons, but figured it was worth mentioning on the off chance that you’re serious

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Congrats on the downgrade

lobut,

I think I understand your overall sentiment. Just wanna boot up games and not think about settings, compatibility, framerates and stuff. I know what you mean.

olafurp,

Why not just, pretend it doesn’t exist?

BroccoLemuria,

Why not just cover your eyes?

You chose a spectacularly bad time to switch to consoles.

tomi000,

Wow, so many people dont understand what youre saying^^

JustARegularNerd, do games w Steam Introduces In-Game Performance Monitor

Seems convenient, I never really felt assed to install and set up additional tools but this being built into the Steam client would make this kind of thing more likely for me to use.

That being said 95% of my games are going to be bottlenecked on my RTX 2050 anyway (paired with an i7-8700 that’s still holding strong)

Reminder to everyone that these are the same devs that raised a giant stink when GeForce Now released and originally let you stream any game that you already owned through Steam.

And in case anyone needs clarification: they wanted to force players to buy two copies of the game just to stream it. Don’t support bad behavior like this.

Badabinski, do games w The Long Dark - Visual Enhancement Update - Now Live!

I knew I had heard of this game, but I couldn't remember its premise. For anyone else like me:

THE LONG DARK is a thoughtful, exploration-survival experience that challenges solo players to think for themselves as they explore an expansive frozen wilderness in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster. There are no zombies -- only you, the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster.

PonyOfWar, do games w The Long Dark - Visual Enhancement Update - Now Live!

Last played this in 2018 apparently, time to give it another go!

Grass, do games w The Long Dark - Visual Enhancement Update - Now Live!

perfect time to play this game I bought way back and never played I guess.

Errorcode7,

I was in the same boat and played it for a while, it’s enjoyable and the story is good. I was surprised by one of the voice actors I recognized.
