Seems convenient, I never really felt assed to install and set up additional tools but this being built into the Steam client would make this kind of thing more likely for me to use.
That being said 95% of my games are going to be bottlenecked on my RTX 2050 anyway (paired with an i7-8700 that’s still holding strong)
Also, MangoHud has an ability to set fps_limit in a per-game way that generally results in much smoother frame-pacing than most games achieve by default. That’s awesome for eg. Dark Souls / Elden Ring, which are stuttery at 60 fps but buttery at 59 for some reason, but also for random strategy games which would be just fine at 30 fps but instead have all the fans roaring to render at 144.
Im not sure I like the cpu utilization being based on the base clock. A percentage that can go arbitrarily above 100 doesn’t sound useful for determining bottlenecks. It must be difficult to accurately determine given all the dynamic boost stuff but since all other such utilities figured it out surely they can too. Hope they don’t just leave this as good enough.

Being able to see your actual performance versus your framegen performance is really quite cool.
Steam already has an FPS monitor, right? I think that’s enough for 95% of everything (and it’s very unobtrusive).
I like the info on my steam deck when emulating.
Very nice to have and you have the option to still only use the fps counter

This is my in game performance monitor:
Does it feel smooth? Yep!
Keep playing.
I hope it doesn’t impact my game performance 🤔
Imma just stick to MangoHud cause it works with Games Outside of Steam.

And I have VRR on my monitor.
I’ve been using game bar but I guess this might be less obtrusive?
Neat!
