It is worth contrasting with the Steam survey which covers several million gamers (of varying degrees of dedication) -- http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

Of note, 8GB is most popular with 1920x1080 resolution.

Simplified Chinese being the most common language (by far at 52%) threw me for a loop, though it probably shouldn't in this day and age. (For context: English - 23%, Russian - 7.7%, Spanish - 2.8%).

That's probably due to the influx of chinese players coming in to play pubg or whatever in the last few months. A more "representative" sample could be found in the months leading up to the spike: https://web.archive.org/web/20170606030609/http://store.stea....

Would probably be higher if memory prices weren’t so damn high. Same goes with video resolution. I bet we’ll see a quick bump once video card prices start to drop.

Every time we've said "when video card prices start to drop", we've seen about 3 months of drop, and then the companies come out with some new thing that increases the prices yet again.
