The Steam FPS Counter Is Causing FPS Drops

[Infinity7]

I've tried it both ways, and it seems like my laggy moments only occur when I have the Steam FPS counter on. When the Steam FPS counter is off, it's always fast and my response-to-enemy time is the fastest.

I can tell by the way the graphics update and my response speed.

Having the ShadowPlay FPS counter on is better than the Steam FPS counter.

I'm not getting very much lag. It's some random occasional small lag I've noticed that happens when the fps counter is on.

FPS overlay displaying is a different type of thing than is file downloading.

turning off fps counter work a little. Thx for tip. Still waiting to some fix to the bio lab and ascend. Dont have super cpu (i5 4440) and after patch I see bigger fps drop on bio lab, ascend, recovery.
before turning off fps counter i had little lag also on greenband when I was in middle and making double jump ( drop to 70 ). Now i see less fps drop.

This isn't the first time a game and the Steam overlay... That the FPS Counter is a part of... Didn't play nice together.

The big question is, though, I ran the counter fine pre-patch, but since the patch, I, too, get major FPS drops with a i7 + GTX 770 4GB. Hmm...

I know, it's weird. Just turning off the fps counter was noticeably better, so now I've turned off the whole overlay too.

In the Steam beta client, the fps counter is in Settings/In-game tab.

Whoops! I goofed. I had reformatted the other day. I'm not using the Steam beta client now. Just the regular Steam client. More investigation needed now.

But definitely on the regular Steam client, turning off the fps counter helps.

Have you tried the FPS counter in NVidia Shadowplay instead

What is your experience with that? Better? Worse?
I'm going to retest using the Steam beta client and it's fps counter first, to see if it gives same problem as the regular Steam client does.

The Steam beta client is better than the regular Steam client with regards to the fps counter, but still it's better to have the fps counter turned off for best performance.
