Overview

• The July 1 Steam Client update introduces a built-in performance monitor for Windows PCs with common GPU hardware.
• Users can choose from four overlay modes, ranging from a simple FPS value to full details covering FPS, CPU, GPU and RAM metrics.
• The overlay separates frames rendered by the GPU from those generated by Nvidia DLSS or AMD FSR upscaling techniques.
• It reports live CPU clock speeds, GPU temperatures and memory usage to help gamers diagnose performance bottlenecks.
• Valve plans to add automated hardware-issue detection and an expanded in-overlay performance summary in future updates.
