That sucks, and it happens so often that I can't help but wonder why Steam hasn't done anything to prevent this.

In any case, thanks Conina.

Another thing I can't understand: NVidia already got the SUPER cards in the charts, but anything other than the 7900XTX from this gen on AMD's side is still AWOL. What the heck, Valve?

Indeed.

We all know that Nvidia has something like 80% of the market, but Valve has had troubles tracking AMD cards for years, with no signs of improvement.

At this point, like with the cybercafes and stuff, one has to wonder why Valve isn't doing anyhting about it. It's either because they can't do anything, which I honestly doubt, or is it because they don't care enough about it to fix these problems. And if they don't care enough to fix it, then why do they keep doing the survey if it's inherently flawed?

With that said, there might be an explanation as to why cybercafe numbers may eschew the results every now and then. I posted a couple days ago that I had taken the survey again, twice in a month, but that may be because I finally got the parts for my new PC and tested. When I installed Steam, it was when it asked for the second survey so, maybe that's something Steam does with every new PC or account? Because some of those cybercafes open and close all the time, so everytime a new one opens they may take the survey and cause the chaos we see every so often.

Mind you, that still doesn't explain why they have so much trouble with AMD cards.
