Would be cool if data like this would be used to choose a good quality setting.

I've been running an RX580 for years. It's worked fine for 99% of games, but recently I played RV There Yet and Umigari, both ran poorly. RV There Yet seemed to improve with a Proton update, but Umigari says the RX580 is the bare minimum.

Point is, it's never the games I expect that I end up falling short on, so a heads up from Steam would actually be helpful. I really wish I could still get a refund for Umigari.

to be fair RV There Yet runs like ass no matter the hardware, it feels and performs like a beta (i'm still mad i got 4 copies for me and my friends)

Good type of data collection I guess?

following the motto that must at this point be written on the walls of Valve's office:
"never be a complete asshole, you can get away with being a bit of a dick if you also cure cancer"
