The results of the latest survey conducted on the Steam platform show that the most popular graphics card among its users is the GTX 1650. It has managed to overthrow the previous leader, which is the GTX 1060.




Although new and fast graphics cards are sold regularly, this does not mean that they are very popular among PC owners. Problems with the shortage of semiconductors and the demand for these products from the so-called cryptocurrency farms have kept GPU prices at ridiculous levels for a long time.


Many users can’t afford to buy a newer, more powerful graphics card, so they have to keep using what they have. The current situation is perfectly illustrated by the post on steam recent results Surveys With respect to hardware and software used by users of this platform.

In addition, it does not support DLSS technology, which can slightly increase performance (this is limited to RTX models only). However, its biggest advantage is the price, which is why both less demanding and wealthy players buy it.

Of course, this does not mean that the equipment is completely useless. It can deliver 60 frames per second in Full HD, albeit at lower graphics detail settings. These parameters can be achieved on older addresses, and newer products on this system will not perform well.
