Posted by Zonk on from the i-know-what-you've-been-playing dept.

Chris_Yates writes "A hardware survey containing over one million entries has been made public by Valve, the creators of Half-Life 2. Some interesting facts include: 65.89% now have SP2 compared to 17.04% for SP1, AMD and Intel almost split 50/50 with nVidia edging out ATI 50.72% to 41.03%. The Radeon 9800 and 9600 take the top two spots with 20% combined."

  1. In between ratings.. by Tyir · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Does anyone else find their method of rating silly, especially in terms of RAM?

    Say I have 1G of Ram. Am I "512 Mb to 1 Gb" or "1 Gb to 1.5 Gb"? Who knows? Same for any other memory amount, the ratings are unfortunately garbage.

    Otherwise, an interesting survey, especially in that it shows much much gamers use AMD (47%) as compared to your average user.
