Valve identified and fixed a glitch in it's hardware survey Steam samples from it's various users. Basically the survey was only continuing to run checks on systems that had been previously checked BEFORE the glitch was introduced. The updated results are pretty dramatic and the biggest ones are as follows:
The gtx560 (all models) and gtx460 (all models) are far and away the most popular graphics card among steam users according to the survey.
The hd5770 is the third most popular graphics card, but does not have nearly as many users as the survey had led to believe in the previous months.
Intel's integrated graphics solution now represents a significant portion steam user's hardware. Whether or not steam includes IGP's in it's results with a discrete GPU is present is not known.
43% of all steam users are DX11 capable (but pc gaming is dying, how can this be???).
Quad-core CPU adoption rate took a hit.
On a side note, it also appears that Nvidia has overtaken AMD as having the most DX11-based graphics cards among steam members. And, apparently, virtually nobody uses ultra-high def monitors.
I think that is my next non-GPU related upgrade.
