So, What are People Buying ?

This is a summary of the hardware survey conducted by Steam based upon what hardware (DX11 GFX Cards) hit their servers in the month of July. Make of it what you will.

I have broken them up into categories. Columns are:

-Overall rank out of DX11 Cards (number hitting Steam Servers)
-Card Name
-% of total DX 11 cards
