Steam 將新增硬體專屬效能基準測試
Steam to Add Hardware-Specific Performance Benchmarks
Valve正將Steam從單純的店面轉型為更以數據為導向的生態系統。
Valve is transforming Steam from a simple storefront into a more data-driven ecosystem.
該公司目前正致力於開發新功能，以提供針對硬體的效能指標，目標是超越過時的靜態系統需求。
The company is currently developing new features to provide hardware-specific performance metrics, aiming to move beyond outdated static system requirements.
透過收集匿名化的影格率數據，Valve正在建立一個龐大的資料庫，以展示遊戲在各種配置上的執行情況。
By collecting anonymized framerate data, Valve is building a massive database to show how games run on diverse setups.
一項名為「影格率預估器」的工具正在開發中，這可能讓使用者在購買遊戲前，就能預先了解遊戲在他們特定的電腦上運作效能如何。
A new "Framerate Estimator" tool is in the works, which could allow users to see how a game might perform on their specific PC before they buy it.
此外，Steam現在允許使用者在評論中附上硬體規格，為其他玩家增加有價值的背景資訊。
Additionally, Steam now allows users to attach hardware specs to their reviews, adding valuable context for other players.
開發者也因此受惠；Valve現在提供他們30天的平均影格率讀數，以協助識別效能瓶頸。
Developers are also benefiting; Valve now provides them with 30-day average framerate readouts to help identify performance bottlenecks.
