Steam New efficiency monitor overlays in the game It is in the public version of beta, enabling users to see real FPS, including DLSS and generating FSR frames, and today I will show you how to install and configure it.
On mine Steam deck and the latest Linux Gaming PC PCI utilize mangohud to display live statistics during the game; In fact, its version is ready on board Steam. However, there is a up-to-date way to monitor performance and comes directly from the valve.
First of all, what fresh functions does this up-to-date monitor bring to the table? As you can expect, he reports the same as any other performance monitor:
- FPS
- CPU and GPU performance (including chart)
- Application of the system and RAM GPU
- System temperatures
But thanks to the up-to-date Steam performance monitor in the game we can also see when generating DLSS / FSR frames has been included. Yes, the up-to-date Steam performance monitor can detect frame generation technologies and provide us with both FPS strengthened by DLSS/FSR and the basic FPS at intervals of one second. Thanks to this, we see, at first glance, FPS strengthening provided by the production of the frame. If we do not utilize any form to generate frames, we only see one set of FPS values. If the generation of frames is used, we get both sets of FPS meters.
Does the up-to-date performance monitor work in Linux? Yes, yes! I just tested it with my Bazzite configuration, currently in the living room, ready for a quick game session. So how can you do it with configuration? I specially had all the steps you have to do to work on a computer with Windows and Linux Gaming.
