    Yeah right. Bottom line is that HD48xx has outsold compred to GT200 based cards by fair margin, among the gamers. Of course one could argue that not everybody reports with steam, or that steam does not regocnize all the cards, or that it's just coincidence!

    I am a Steam member, and couldn't find the 295 listed?

    I might have just missed it too.

    Do you even know what you're comparing? On that survey 48xx includes the 4850 / 4830 as well that weren't even competing with GT200. So you would need to throw in some G92's there as well if you wanted to compare.
