Steam seems slow to add modern AMD videocards, which in turn defaults the result to whatever integrated graphics are on the pc. 60% of users are DirectX 12 ready, and if all the amd direct x 12 cards are being detected as intel, and we give 60% of the intel cards to AMD to compensate, you will get something like 56% Nvidia, 36% AMD, 8% Intel, and this makes much more sense.
If 60% of users are using Windows 10, then why are the AMD DirectX 12 cards completely missing? Something smells fishy…

Right now, DX12 is better for one reason. Its actually out there and usable.

Kronos Group delayed the Vulkan finalization stage again until near the end of January, from no other but the horse’s mouth:

https://www.khronos.org/vulkan

“The Vulkan specification is complete and undergoing legal review and final polishing. The Vulkan conformance tests are being finalized and multiple member companies are preparing drivers for release”

For the 8th time in a row this year…

No finalized specification means patchy hardware support for it. Which means most developers either have to wait for Vulkan to be finalized, or just use DX12 which does the same thing anyway, then add Vulkan support later. Waiting costs (lots of) money, so of course they’re going to opt for DX11/12.

And then there’s the history of Kronos Group… which can never decide on a standard until its too late….

I have an AMD R9 380 4GB, yet according to Steam’s survey, nobody ones one. Not even one card from the R9 300 series. Which of course, is utter bullshit.

Retailers/outlets/Reviewers have frequently mentioned sales, benchmarks and reviews about them. so they DO sell.

Yet Steam they seem fine with tracking the usage of ancient legacy GPUs like the VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP, but not GPUs that actually matter for modern game
development/targeting.

So until they sort out the missing cards, their results are about as useful as a boat full of holes in its keel.

Everyone has a choice of gaming platform. PC is chosen for a number of reasons. 1: Console gaming wants to force you to pay monthly fees to play multiplayer, which blows typhoon. (I am already paying for the Internet, why would I pay to play multiplayer? Dumb!) 2: A PC gamer can change their hardware. 3: A PC is generally easier to use for more than playing games, e.g. develop games.

Not at all, as a GTX 970 needs the rest of PC hardware to make it run games good,( NOT 2 CPUS as example ) and by looking at the ( most popular ) Steam findings on PC hardware I find it hard to see BF4 running at 30fps even at 900p let alone 1440p

A GTX 970 runs Battlefront at 1440P 60FPS at better than console settings

A PS4 gets a measly 900P and 60FPS with drops

The most popular steam set up runs rings around the POS4. Sorry that you are a deluded moron 🙂

“More PC gamers have a higher resolution and more power than POS4 gamers confirmed”……

And that has sod all to do with ♦Iwould have thought that ( most popular ) would have been much better in specs the way you always big-up PC gaming♦

Fact is the Steams PC ( most popular ) is not all that really, and nothing to shout about even when compared to PS4☺

More PC gamers have a higher resolution and more power than POS4 gamers confirmed

Most old games run DX9. Vulkan will set new records and make performance go way beyond consoles. Not that it’s hard considering how bad the consoles suck 🙂

Windows 7 64 bit most popular
System Ram 8GB most popular
Physical CPUs 2 most popular
VRAM 1024 MB most popular
DirectX 9 most popular
Primary Display Resolution (1920×1080 ) most popular
Drive type DVD most popular
Total Hard Drive Space 250GB to 499GB most popular
Video card GeForce GTX 970 most popular.

The above doesn’t look impressive if you ask me, I would have thought that ( most popular ) would have been much better in specs the way you always big-up PC gaming.
