thesyndrome This reminds me of a website I used to use back in the late 00's and early 10's which I think was called "Can you run it?" where you input your PC specs and select a game then it would tell you how it would run, except back then I'm pretty sure it just used the minimum and recommended specs to guesstimate how it would run on your system by way of a performance bar that gave you a vague idea of how high you could set the settings to get a good experience. Having Steam track ACTUAL performance with various CPU, GPU, and RAM combinations could mean that we actually get relatively accurate estimations of actual FPS performance for your system, especially if it also tells you if upscaling was using and if so then to what degree. It's things like this that make me always balk at Tim Sweeney constantly attacking Steam for being more popular: Here we have a feature that is not required, and no one expected to be implemented, but is extremely consumer friendly and makes me appreciate its inclusion, meanwhile you have to beg Epic to implement basic features into EGS, and they likely won't bother, or will drag their heels on it for years and then act offended when everyone stopped waiting for them and doesn't care any more after they finally get around to doing it.

LordVile I’m also sure it will be on by default and totally won’t be sold to 3rd parties Reply
Thunder64 Sounds great for Steam devices, but the vast amount of PC configurations make me doubtful this will work on Steam. Reply

As the article mentioned people run all kinds of setting and upscaling/FG. Then there are plenty of different hardware combos so it just seems like too much unless it's a very popular game. Reply
