Do they exclude nvidia’s bullshit ~~fake~~”AI generated” frames?

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 hours ago

Hopefully they list FG framerate and raw FPS, the overlay counter can already distinguish between them

feel like this is ultimately bad because it just means they'll make it harder to refund

Should we remove hardware requirements or reviews, because then you could argue you weren't informed about the game not being your type? Are game demos bad?

Informing the customer being bad sounds backwards. This could only backfire if the fps prediction is wrong, and I still think for most people this would a positive, I wanted a feature like this.

i mean. i like steam a lot, but the return window was not adopted because steam thought it was fair, but mainly because they were being forced to by an australian law suit. so i don’t think this is an immediate fear

And Valve keeps on winning the storefront war, without doing much besides quality of life features.

[–] dom@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I like that this will put a spotlight on crappy engines and devs

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Can it figure out my downclocked card? I can't run mine at default settings or it crashes. :'(

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If I understand correctly it will allow players to input their hardware and fps for games. So unlikely, and even for not modified hardware it will be just an estimation based on what users say.

[–] 8oow3291d@feddit.dk 2 points 1 hour ago

Why do you think it is based on manual input? It would make a lot more sense if the Steam software detected the framerate automatically while you are playing.

[–] arcine@jlai.lu 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, I got a prompt on Steam Deck asking if they could collect anonymised FPS data from my games !

I said no, but there will be enough people who say yes to collect that data reliably.

[–] Magnum 12 points 6 hours ago

Steam on a Linux machine the only thing were I opt in to the anonymous data collection.

The 🚨 and 👀 at the start and end of the first part of the post I guess.

That’s just how these types of „news“ accounts on twitter write, they did that before ChatGPT too
