That would make an interesting graph.
Since I bougth the 9600xt for HL2 as well and you see that an effective marketing campaign set up YEARS in advance (buy a 9600xt or 9800xt, get HL2 for free) actually works! Ati sold shedloads of mid-range and high end cpu's making oodles of dollars while NV was selling budget chips in the (probably asian dominated) markets...
 
Tried posting this earlier...

Random thought: I wonder if some of the DVD drives Valve counted were for the astoundingly handy DaemonTools or something similar?

Both TR and TheInq have noted the new survey (and what potentially little/specialised info it yields). Interesting note: I was prompted to check it out after Steam prompted me to share my system info. Wonder if they did the same?

Going by the driver numbers I quoted in the first post, Steam has added almost 150k extra systems. Pretty fast uptake. Note that the number of Unknown + Other cards has stayed the same, at 80k. Maybe I should see how the card numbers have changed.

Edit: Gleaming the cube:

Code: 
ATI:	345,437
NVIDIA:	412,897
Other+Unknown:	80,187
	
Desktop:	
ATI 9x00:	273,718
NV 5x00:	169,903
	
ATI 9500+:	220,252
NV 5500+:	97,766
	
ATI Xx00:	41,201
NV 6x00:	48,530
	
ATI X800+:	25,296
NV 6800+:	44,058
		
ATI X800P+:	24,135	
NV 6800GT+:	26,610	? ("6800 series:" 5,487)
		
No NV 6200?		
No X700?		
No separation of desktop/mobile R X-series and GF 6-series?
Anyway, roughly the same percentage as ten days ago. I thought it'd be interesting to break it down by generation, too. Categories are still too vague to make sweeping statements about the 6800GT/U the X800P/XT/XTPE.[/code]

Remember, the Ultra and XT-PE are clearly defined seperate columns.

And 6800 products are probably a mixture of the cards in medion pc's and 6800 mobiles...
