The latest Steam Hardware Survey has been released with some interesting results. The most popular GPU is the GTX 1650 at nearly 6% of all users. Windows 10 64 Bit continues to reign as the OS of choice with 61% of users, and it seems six-core CPUs still are the weapon of choice for processing power. Approximately 65% of users are still rocking a 1080P monitor, 16GB of RAM has fallen down to just 51.19% of users. The most common VR Headset is the Oculus Quest 2. Meta probably likes that.
Some interesting notes include Windows 11 gaining nearly 11% to a total of 33.39% of users, while all versions of Windows 7 and 8 combined represented less than 2% of Steam users. Good thing as they’re end of life for Steam support very soon.
The venerable GTX 1060 has fallen by 2.85%, but is still the second most popular graphics card at 4.84% of users. AMD’s most popular card is actually their iGPU just listed as AMD Radeon Graphics at 1.92%. Their next most popular card is the legendary Polaris powered RX 580 at 1.07%. The RTX 4090 is currently pushing 0.42%, though it went up by 0.17% overall. The RTX 4070 Ti is sitting at 0.40% while the RTX 4080 is at 0.28%. The RTX 4070 was not listed.
Overall for graphics, the “50/60 class” mid-range GPUs still take nine out of the top ten places on the charts with only the RTX 3070 joining them. Ignoring the 50 series cards, the 60 class cards make up a combined 27% of all GPUs in the survey.
The top three languages for gaming were English at 35.64%, Chinese at 25.03%, and Russian at 10.39%. The Chinese is down by 26.6% which is certainly interesting, while English is up by 12.81%. Perhaps VPN usage? Tell us what you think in the comments and forum.
