Multi-GPU Systems Are Used by 1.5% of Gamers
« on: January 21, 2007, 06:59:29 PM »
The most recent hardware survey by Valve Software, which asks users of Steam video
game distribution system to submit their hardware and software data, revealed that only
a small fraction of gamers have adopted computers that contain two or more
graphics processors, despite of all the promotions that AMD and Nvidia hold
to rise popularity of CrossFire and SLI.

Only about 12.7 thousand of 850 thousand of respondents – or about 1.5% – had
a multi-GPU personal computer (PC) with either two, three or four graphics processors.
 
The five most popular graphics cards are:
 - Nvidia GeForce 6600 (9.23%),
 - ATI Radeon 9600 (5.81%),
 - Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 (5.76%),
 - Nvidia GeForce 6800 (5.05%)
 - and ATI Radeon X800 (4.45%).
