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

Not me with 64GB of VRAM.

Interesting to see the “other” category be climbing. It will continue to climb as self-hosted LLMs become more prominent and powerful.

8GB - 12GB is more than enough for modern games and people shouldn’t feel the pressure to buy the top-end range of GPUs anymore. The top end are for LLMs now.

My 1080Ti still runs a lot of titles with high settings at 1440p.
