Steam Hardware Survey

[Dec 02, 2011, 9:00 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The November 2011 Steam Hardware & Software Survey is now online. Nothing very surprising there, 59% of GPUs are NVIDIA and 72% of CPUs are Intel. The most typical results are 64-bit Win7, 3 GB of RAM, and an ATI 4800 series GPU. Oh yeah, and 0.69% of Steam users have Microsoft Office FrontPage. Thanks GameSpy.

Valve's stats put DX11 cards at 31% of the survey sample, and Win Vista/7 at 75%+ of the sample. How only 5% of the systems can be DX11 capable makes no sense. That would require most DX11 card owners to be using XP, which is silly. Edit: I figured it out. The DX10/11 5% adoption figure is from May of 2010. It's a year and a half old.
