Hover your mouse over $46.97 and you will see the real value which in your case is $17.24 - because two of the games you have given away are reduced value, which only give 15 % of their value towards your contributors value. You can read about it in detail in FAQ

You should probably read FAQ, it's all there:

If you hover over the "Gifts Sent" dollar value on your profile, you'll see your contributor value after all of the above adjustments have taken place.

That's not a bad suggestion at all actually, the real value would be easier to see if it was in another column instead of a tooltip.

A suggestion was made a while back to switch CV with Real CV, but nothing came of it.

Yes, sadly.
It would demask the extremst RU shop abusers/exploiters very fast.

I've never understood Raw CV being used as the default, as it makes no sense whatsoever. It's a novelty number, just some passing random statistic, not anything meaningfully relevant to the account or the site on the whole. It's the kind of obscure information you'd use for a quirky SGT filter, not one you'd want to reference normally during site usage or use for a typical filter. In fact, as Masafor noted (and this thread's topic similarly highlighted), there's clear downsides to obsfucating Real CV by listing Raw CV in its place. The whole thing is a confused mess and, I don't think it's a decision cg has ever given any kind of justification for. 🤔

In short, yes: Swapping them so that Real is displayed first and Raw is displayed within hover, just seems to make a whole lot more sense than the present design. While a bit more subjective, I'd also rename them to something along the lines of Contribution Total and Unadjusted Contribution to be more intuitive to new users than Real and Raw Contribution Value are (namely, the similarity at a glance between 'Raw' and 'Real' is a bit unideal).

If one thinks he can already be at level 2 with just 3 games, wait till he is level 7, it's a rude awakening.
