Steam Client With FPS Counter, More New Features

January 4, 2015 by Ryan Parreno

The FPS counter will prove useful for when your tweaking PC performance, or twiddling with your own game as a dev.

Valve has released a new beta update to its Steam client, with one notable feature – an FPS counter to the Steam overlay.

They also fixed the reloading setting values in the Steam overlay, making the game easier to modify, whether you’re trying to improve a game’s performance on PC, or testing it out as a developer.

They also made these other changes :

·         Lowered CPU use drawing animated images or videos

·         Video performance improvements for OS X / Linux

·         D3D9 game capture performance improvements

·         Audio/video sync improvements

·         Video encoding bitrate improvements

·         Nvidia GPU OpenGL compatibility support enabled

·         UIs added to Big Picture

·         Fix for friend invites for broadcasts getting dropped

Already, a fan is asking that they increase the FPS counter, since it is too small at 1080p. Of course, Steam and its client is always a work in progress. What would you like to see Valve add or improve on next? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
