Steam Beta upgrades the in-game performance monitor for Linux

Back in June, Valve revealed the new performance monitor for the in-game Steam overlay, and now the Linux version has been upgraded.

Initially, only Windows had all the extra options with Linux stuck with just FPS details. Now we get all the extras too as of the July 17th Steam Beta, as long as you have an AMD or NVIDIA GPU. You can select between seeing just FPS value, FPS details, FPS details with CPU and GPU utilisation and then a further option to get everything.

The screenshot above (click it to enlarge) shows Cyberpunk 2077 on Linux with the new Steam performance monitor (top left), with the most detailed option picked.

While it's good to have options, and this is better than just the FPS value that the in-game overlay had, you can still get far more customization on Linux with MangoHud.

The full changes from the Steam Beta:

General

• Added a notification for when a trade is reversed via Trade Protection
• Fixed an issue with deleting screenshots from the focused screenshot view briefly showing an error and potentially navigating the user away from their screenshots
• Fixed minimum and maximum client window size not updating in some situations.
• Fixed friends list window remaining open in Steam overlay when switching between desktop and Big Picture Mode.
• Fixed modal dialogs opening behind the window displaying them.

Steam Input

• Fixed gamepad input for browser-based games on Windows
• Added support for the PDP REALMz Wireless Controller for Switch
