(LegitReviews) Valve removes SLI data from Steam Survey

[Madcatatlas]

We noticed that AMD has a rather interesting blog post that was put up today dealing with Multi-GPU graphics that is certainly worth a read. Back in April, NVIDIA's Tom Petersen made some pretty bold claims and announced AMD's upcoming chipsets before AMD publicly admitted their existence. We covered this news by posting about it here and said that things would get ugly. Well it appears that Steam has thrown out the statistic that 93% of all multi-GPU systems in use today use SLI. It appears that the statistic used for the Steam Hardware & Software Survey was improper. Valve silently removed the figure, but we thought it was in our readers best interest to know what is going on. The battle between AMD and NVIDIA still lives on and is doing quite well. Both NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFireX are scaling better than ever and both have strong and weak areas though. We reached out to Tom Petersen for a comment, but he had yet to respond when this was posted.

Good for valve. It's a little silly to publish numbers for a survey, which we all know are incorrect.

I played a game of BC2 with you recently. I was thinking in my head "I know the SNL skit, but i've seen than name someplace else lately..". lol
