Valve has now introduced the in-game performance monitor, which it has been testing for a long time, to all Steam users. With the new feature, PC gamers will be able to instantly monitor not only FPS values, but also performance data such as processor (CPU), graphics card (GPU), and system memory (RAM) usage.

Steam has launched the in-game performance monitor

Steam’s new performance monitor does not only display the numerical FPS value; it also graphically presents how the frame rate changes over time. There is also an important detail, especially for gamers who use frame generation technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS or AMD FSR: The system displays the frames generated with such technologies by separating them from the actual FPS values. In this way, gamers can more accurately evaluate the actual performance of their systems.

The performance monitor also provides critical data such as minimum and maximum frame rates. In addition, processor, graphics card and RAM usage rates can be monitored graphically. In this way, it can be understood more clearly which component is causing the performance drop in a game.

The new monitor can be accessed from the “In-Game” tab in the “Settings” menu of the Steam application. This panel allows you to customize options such as what data will be displayed, where it will be located on the screen, and what the graphical format will be.

This detailed performance tool from Valve brings system monitoring, previously only possible with third-party software, to Steam’s own interface. It has become an important tool for gamers to use their hardware more effectively and identify potential bottlenecks, especially in modern games that push the limits of system components.
