Huge shift in the Steam stats! Valve finally fixed overcounting Chinese internet cafes.

• GTX Maxwell goes down from 39% (January) to 23%.
• AMD HD 6x - Vega goes up from 4.25% (January) to 8%.
• AMD CPUs go up from 8% (January) to 16%.
• Windows 10 (64 bit) goes up from 36% (March) to 53%.

Thanks!

Let's hope that this fix lasts and that we can start using those stats with a bit more confidence.

DDR5? And start all over again with low supplies, smartphone markers hoarding all of it and thus leading to stupidly high prices? Not yet, thanks.

Why don't we kill DDR3 first so there are more lines for DDR4?

Also, I'd also like to see some of the problems solved as soon as possible.

Smartphones won't hoard DDR5.
They tend to stick with LPDDR for power reasons.

I would like a transition to DDR5 because... It's planned to be double the speed and capacity of DDR4 with a power consumption drop to go with it.
DDR4 hasn't been a technology that I have been scrambling for, my DDR3 layout @ 1600mhz has the same bandwidth as DDR4 3200mhz on Ryzen for instance.

Of course they won't use DDR5, but how long will it take for NAND makers to launch a low power version of it for smartphones?

And I didn't say that DDR4 is great, just that a change right now would screw up the market even more than it already is.

Yup, we have Switch Pro controller support now.
"bind the gyro"
Finally, PC gamers can finally experience the precision of gyro aiming (without getting motion sick).

I'll stick to mouse aiming .

But I could use it for 2D games as Nintendo's D-pad has always been great. Too bad it's so expensive.
