Before you start making plans to evict your current rig, I want to explain how the Steam Hardware Survey actually works. Rather than representing every player that uses the storefront, the monthly census instead uses a small percentage of participants who've opted in as a sample. It's anything but representative of all 154 million active users, meaning the statistic above isn't an absolute.

Does the author know how *survey sample sizes work?

Do I?

Is it because it's opt in or opt out?

The design looks so solid but it's likely not more powerful than an RX 6750XT or RTX3080 so it's not something I'll need sadly.

It’s roughly two-thirds of a 6750xt or half of a 3080 so yeah definitely not
