Steam has received a new feature so that you can finally see who is responsible for the poor performance of your game

Steam has introduced a new feature: A comprehensive performance display so you can see how your entire PC is utilized directly.

What is the new feature? Valve has added a new feature to its platform Steam: A comprehensive performance display that shows you how the game is rendered and displayed. This function shows you the performance of your PC and how it affects the game’s performance. Steam mentions this in its official blog post.

What does it provide? Thanks to the overlay, you can clearly see how heavily your computer is stressed. If your game is not running smoothly, you might notice that your graphics card is constantly at 100%, or that you forgot to enable DLSS in the settings. This makes troubleshooting much easier.

The new feature from Steam also has the advantage that you no longer need an additional performance overlay, but can simply use the one from Steam.
