Steam Hardware & Software Survey: September 2017

muruba · October 17, 2017, 11:19:03

Steam conducts a monthly survey to collect data about what kinds of computer hardware and software our customers are using. Participation in the survey is optional, and anonymous. The information gathered is incredibly helpful to us as we make decisions about what kinds of technology investments to make and products to offer.

Whatever a motherboard based AMD HD 4200 chip supports

And it does surprisingly well. Ok, My expectations are not that high.

lol as far as I can see both you and NA's graphics cards are DirectX 11 compatible, mostly. Tessellation might not be available though.

That's interesting to me because I'm developing a fairly basic DX11 3D game engine, after taking the plunge and hoping my brain can cope with a move from 2D to 3D.

I didn't know about this.

On a side note: According to the survey I have an above average cpu and ram.
