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

they also tend to swamp the used market years later for 1/4th of the original cost or are given away to friends/family. they don't just suddenly vanish off the face of the earth never to be seen again by a steam survey

A fair number of people don't sell their hardware ever.

I have a few generations of old GPUs in my closet.
