At retail DX10 is NOT an actual selling point because most people have no idea what their system spec is.

But Steam knows, so you are marketing to 100% of you potential customer base. And it's growing. :-)

If it wasn't for the console market to offset the cost of ditching the DX9 user base, I doubt JC2 would have been DX10 exclusive for PC.

By the way, could you share some details about lighting in Just Cause 2? Currently I'm considering an upgrade to lighting system in our engine (I work as a graphics programmer at a small company), and article looks very intriguing. I've pre-ordered GPU Pro already, the problem is release date - 1st of June

roger: Yes, the number of people with DX10 GPU is much higher at 74.7%. The biggest issue seems to be OS, where only 58.4% have Vista/Win7.

tonic: Since the PC version is released on Steam only it's about as accurate as it gets for our market.

Steam users are heavily biased towards core gamers, which tend to have considerably better hardware than an average PC has. Compare Steam HW survey stats to similar from Unity web player. The stats for the latter reflect hardware of mostly casual users.

Still, for making core games, the Steam stats are a good reference!

I suppose that such number represents gamers, with Dx10 capable card and Windows Vista or superior, isnt it?
