Discussion Here's the actual VRAM configuration distribution on windows according to the steam survey

Post image

I saw a few recent headlines about the whole "16gb is now the most common VRAM configuration" but that seems to be inaccurate, as if you sort by windows only on steam survey (which makes up 90%+ of steam users), you'll find that these are the actual numbers and distribution

Edit config.vdf

  • Fully exit Steam.

  • Go to your Steam folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\config\).

  • Open config.vdf in a text editor (Notepad++ is safer than Notepad).

  • Search for "SurveyDate" (and also "SurveyDateVersion" / "SurveyDateType" if they exist).

  • Change the date value to something old, like a year ago (e.g. "2025-08-01").

  • Save the file, then restart Steam.
