Weekly Steam News!

Recently we refreshed the Steam hardware survey to get a fresh look at what kind of hardware the community is currently running. In this version of the survey, which many of you have already seen, we are gathering a number of new pieces of data. Now that we're approaching 500,000 unique responses, there are a few trends worth noting:
  • Most of you (88%) are running with a traditional CRT as your display device.
  • The split between AMD and Intel processors continues to stay very close as it has in the past. AMD has a slight lead with 52% of the community's processors.
  • Nvidia and ATI video cards are the dominant providers, with Nvidia cards occupying about 52% of your PCs.
  • Most of you have DVD drives in your PCs, or around 92%.
You can also check out the full results of the survey.
Meanwhile, Introversion released an update to Darwinia last week to add a difficulty system to the game. People who purchased the game should have a fun challenge trying to make it through some of the later levels with these higher difficulty levels.
