Steam is adding a feature that estimates your PC's FPS before you buy a game. Valve's platform will use your hardware specs to predict performance, showing expected frame rates for specific games based on your configuration. For example, it will indicate whether a game can hit 60 FPS at 1440p with high settings.

This tool aims to help gamers avoid purchasing titles that won't run well on their systems. The system relies on anonymous telemetry data collected from millions of users' PCs, building a database to estimate performance without needing to run the game first. Valve is refining this FPS estimation system for a public beta, potentially transforming how gamers evaluate PC game compatibility.
