Valve is set to enhance its Steam client with a new 'framerate estimator' feature, as indicated by recent updates. Initially rolled out in February, the option for beta users to share anonymized framerate data and hardware information is now being leveraged to develop this tool. The April 3 update revealed references to the 'Framerate Estimator' in a JSON file, suggesting users will be able to select their app and hardware configuration to receive estimated framerates based on data from other Steam users. This feature will allow players to see per-game framerate estimates and the number of data entries that inform these estimates, focusing on user-selected CPU, GPU, and RAM configurations rather than automated scans. This development aims to improve game compatibility insights for the Steam community.
