Every month Steam releases it’s Hardware and Software survey, detailing every Steam user’s hardware and software usage.

It’s useful for watching trends (like the fact that Nvidia’s new Pascal cards are the fastest growing GPUs) but also gives a good idea of what hardware your fellow PC gamers are using.

  • OS Version: Windows 10 64 bit (47.28%)
  • System RAM: 8 GB (33.09%)
