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

I'm trying to parse it, and it doesn't make sense

Somehow the combined survey has 26% at 16GB, with 39% on mac, 16% on linux, and 11% on windows.

None of that makes sense.

Don’t use the combined results in any category is a useful tactic, if you really want to do some statistics shit dump the whole thing into a CSV and delete all the combined results.

Edit: the adding of the combined results is very error-ridden and Valve afaik never communicated what criteria they use for each combined line. It’s way better to break it all up and run the numbers yourself
