Quoting: sbolokanovMatters for the above statement. Last I checked native means not using a wrapper.
Stop getting hung-up on "wrappers". VP ports using their eON tech are still native Linux games.

Nope.

Quoting: ShmerlThe closest to my GPU listed is Radeon RX 480, while really mine is Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480. It uses the same chip, but its clocking is higher than stock Radeon. I guess it's not a major detail though.
It's still the 480, would be a different matter if there were models with different physical features (like VRAM).
It can matter if you compare performance for example. But for current statistical purposes, just the chip model should be OK.
Yeah this is more about seeing what Model and generation people are using :)

Quoting: Blauer_HungerAre there plans for to add feature like this for CPUs as well?

And btw it's really funny that you can select AMD Geforce GTX cards :D
For CPUs, yes probably in future. If this feature works well, the same can be rolled out to CPUs.

As for the second bit, I'm going to eventually make it so if you actually pick your GPU vendor, it will only search in that list.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionLiam, you have been gathering this info long enough to have some meaningful trend data by now. Has anybody put it to use yet?
I've seen developers pass the data around on Twitter a few times, I've also seen the link thrown on the Steam forum multiple times too :)

Quoting: WorMzyLooks good!

You seem to be missing my GPU's model: GeForce GTX 970Ti, which is surprising because I'm pretty sure you had one yourself previously. :P
The 970, 980 and 980ti are all in there. There's no such card as a 970ti.
