Before you start making plans to evict your current rig, I want to explain how the Steam Hardware Survey actually works. Rather than representing every player that uses the storefront, the monthly census instead uses a small percentage of participants who’ve opted in as a sample. It’s anything but representative of all 154 million active users, meaning the statistic above isn’t an absolute.
Does the author know how *survey sample sizes work?
Do I?
Is it because it’s opt in or opt out?
My home gaming PC is a ryzen 1500x and an Nvidia 1060 GPU. Old as hell but still runs most games.
Most people on steam probably have a rig with 4+ year old hardware, and after seeing what my little steam deck oled can do, id say the steam machine will be able to out perform any 4+ year old windows system when it comes to gaming.
