Valve has added a new performance monitor to Steam that can help you understand why a game may or may not be running smoothly. Not only does it break out a game’s overall frame rate, it can tell you how many of those frames were generated by techniques like Nvidia’s DLSS or AMD’s FSR, according to a post.
The change is included as part of an update to the Steam Client that’s available now, though Valve notes that this “first version” focuses on “Windows users and on the most common GPU hardware.”
The company says the new performance monitor currently offers up to four different levels of detail: a single FPS value, FPS details, CPU and GPU utilization, and “FPS, CPU, GPU & RAM Full Details.” The more you choose to show, the more of your screen will be taken up by the performance monitor.
Steam previously offered a simple FPS counter, but separating out generated frames from the frames fully rendered by your graphics cores can help you better understand key differences between what you see and how a game feels. “Frame generation can’t help with things like input latency that matter to competitive gamers, but it can make things look visually smoother on today’s high refresh rate monitors,” Valve says in a detailed support document about the performance monitor.
In practice, what that should mean is that you can see whether your game feels like it’s running at just 30 fps because it actually is running at 30 fps inside the game engine, even though you’re seeing a visually smoother image due to Nvidia and AMD’s added “fake frames.” (It’s a whole debate in the PC gaming community, and it appears Valve isn’t taking sides here.)
Valve has already given handheld gamers a taste of these quick insights by building tools like MangoHud into the Steam Deck and SteamOS, which similarly let you monitor your CPU, graphics, RAM, and carefully ration out your battery life. But having a way to do so built into desktop Steam will make the insights much more accessible to many more gamers.
In the future, Valve says that it has plans to “add some additional pieces of data to the performance overlay going forward, to detect certain common bad hardware performance scenarios, and to show a larger summary of your game’s performance in the overlay itself when you hit shift-tab.”
AT&T believes its network wasn’t at fault for a conference call where President Donald Trump accused the company of being “totally unable to make their equipment work properly.” Instead, AT&T is blaming an unnamed “conference call platform.”
Earlier on Monday, President Donald Trump complained on Truth Social about apparent issues with AT&T’s network during a “major conference call with faith leaders from all over the country” that had “tens of thousands of people on the line.” Trump said that “this is the second time it’s happened” and that if “the Boss of AT&T, whoever that may be” would get involved, “it would be good.”
It appears AT&T initially wasn’t sure what was going on, as it replied to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on X to say that it had reached out to the White House ”to quickly understand and assess the situation.”
At 6:53PM ET, the company said that “our initial analysis indicates the disruption was caused by an issue with the conference call platform, not our network. Unfortunately, this caused the delay, and we are working diligently to better understand the issue so we can prevent disruptions in the future.”
AT&T didn’t say which conference call platform it believes is at fault, and didn’t immediately respond to The Verge’s question about that. The White House didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.
Shortly after his original post, Trump followed up to say that the call may be rescheduled and that “we’ll use another carrier next time.”
Apple is surveying Vision Pro owners, and some of the questions go beyond the device’s comfort or resolution. In addition to features like Guest Mode, and which accessories people actually use, Apple wants to know what its users see in rival products (even in categories where it doesn’t compete yet).
