Steam’s new performance monitor beats Task Manager, says Valve

Valve has improved the performance monitor in the latest Steam beta, which it claims is better than the one in Windows Task Manager, particularly for monitoring GPU utilization. The new method used by Valve is designed to more accurately reflect changes when other processes, such as browsers and apps, utilize the GPU. According to Valve, the Steam performance monitor sometimes reports higher GPU utilization than the built-in monitor in Windows Task Manager, which Valve says "appears to also under report in similar situations." The changes in the beta also include bug fixes and wider format Steam game store pages for better compatibility with larger monitors, but the timeline for their wider release is not specified.
