Wow. incredible that 8800 series is on top. I would have thought that some mid-range solution would have been there rather than the high end. Poor ATI looks like its getting no love from Valve customers.

Multi-GPU Systems (100 of 19219 Total Users (0.52% of Total) )
NVIDIA SLI (2 GPUs) 78 78.00 %

that's fine for CS 1.6

[LuckyNV]

that's fine for CS 1.6

indeed, there are many people that play HL1 based games, those cards will do fine

[Calmatory]

I had no problems with my GeForce 4 MX 4000 with CS:S, as the whole Source-engine is so CPU dependet, that even a poor GFX solutions will be doing fine enough for low settings with DX7. (Not a constant 100FPS, but it stays above 60 for most of time, if the CPU is sufficent.)

...unless you are THE übergamer (Having 1600x1200, 8xAA, 16xAF and EVERYTHING @ ÜBER-HIGH settings is a MUST, or otherwise it looks UNPLAYABLE). Those poor rednecks shouldn't be using steam. ...

Do you take offense to the term 'redneck'?

for 16:9 aspect... which almost noone uses, except the people with huge monitors. Makes perfect sense actually.

[WesM63]

Some of those results crack me up.

Then again I play on the gaming rig in sig with everything maxed.

well it has more than doubled since the last survey... dont laugh at that.

I am one of those "people who shouldn't be using STEAM" according to some here and play DOD:S just fine at 60FPS with my 32MB Ati Mobile Radeon 9000 on the Dx7 codepath and get 60+FPS most all the time. And tbh it don't look all that bad, sure you don't have the fancy shaders, but you can play at a decent resolution and speed on your 4 year old mid-range laptop instead of spending 1000$ every year upgrading the latest and greatest computer. I guarentee I have just as much fun at Dx7 as you do on Dx9

[Bobsama]

Any chance someone can post the full results? I can't see the survey--it's being blocked from where I am. Thanks.

[FghtinIrshNvrDi]

Do you take offense to the term 'redneck'?

no, that part's fine. The part that assumes techological stupidity is what got me.

Do you take offense to the term "pain in the ass"?

lol @ 192 people playing at 800x600. That's just sad.

[Cooper]

lol @ 192 people playing at 800x600. That's just sad.

Still many ppl play HL1 games and many have 17" CRT screens with 100Hz@800x600. Old games rock

[IcY18]

i know numerous people who game on 800x600 because of the better fps they get, because they are more concerned about performance, so i would reconsider when you say "thats just sad."

+1

I know people with good rigs playing at full low settings 800*600 to have huge fps like if they were playing quake 3. I do not, but to each is own

[oublie]

does :banana::banana::banana::banana: look better in DX10?
