Steam to Add Hardware-Specific Performance Benchmarks
Steam 將新增硬體專屬效能基準測試
Valve is transforming Steam from a simple storefront into a more data-driven ecosystem.
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。
The company is currently developing new features to provide hardware-specific performance metrics, aiming to move beyond outdated static system requirements.
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。
By collecting anonymized framerate data, Valve is building a massive database to show how games run on diverse setups.
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。
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.
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。
Additionally, Steam now allows users to attach hardware specs to their reviews, adding valuable context for other players.
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。
Developers are also benefiting; Valve now provides them with 30-day average framerate readouts to help identify performance bottlenecks.
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。
Although these features are currently in the beta phase, they represent a significant step toward transparency in PC gaming.
雖然這些功能目前處於測試階段，但它們代表了邁向PC遊戲透明度的一大步。
This shift promises to improve the accuracy of "Verified" ratings and ensure a better experience for gamers, regardless of their hardware configuration.
這項轉變承諾將提高「驗證」評級的準確性，並確保玩家能獲得更好的體驗，無論其硬體配置為何。
