A monthly survey on the hardware used is run on the Steam gaming platform. MeinMMO shows you the results from July 2022.
Steam is one of the largest gaming platforms in the world and should be familiar to most gamers on the PC – almost a home. A recent survey on MeinMMO showed that many readers have hundreds of games stored in their Steam library.
Steam regularly conducts a survey that allows an insight into the hardware of Steam gamers. The results for July 2022 are now known and we list what the technology distribution looks like on the platform – in terms of graphics cards, processor power and number of computing cores.
If you would also like to watch a short video on the topic of hardware, we will embed an interesting story here for you:
