New Figures Suggest AMD’s Latest GPUs are Struggling Against Nvidia
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
When looking at the latest figures from Valve and Amazon, it appears that AMD is facing challenges in meaningfully competing with Nvidia. The Steam hardware survey for June reveals that Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs, introduced earlier this year, are performing significantly better than AMD's RDNA 4 graphics cards. According to Tom's Hardware, Nvidia now accounts for 3.7% of Steam gamers, with 0.99% owning an RTX 5070 and 0.55% using an RTX 5070 Ti. Even the high-end RTX 5090 has made an appearance in the rankings, albeit near the bottom, with 0.19% of Steam gamers using it. On the other hand, none of AMD's new RDNA 4 range have registered in the June survey, with all models lumped into the 'other' category, representing 8% of GPUs that don't have enough market share to be recorded - less than 0.15% to be precise. Moving on to Amazon's sales figures, as provided by TechEpiphany on X and highlighted by Wccftech, the picture is less extreme for AMD but still raises concerns. In terms of market share by units sold, Nvidia leads with 70.51% (31,200 units), followed by AMD with 27.57% (12,200 units), and Intel with 1.92% (850 units). In terms of revenue share, Nvidia dominates with 78.61% ($18,720,000), AMD accounts for 20.49% ($4,880,000), and Intel has 0.89% of the revenue share. Notably, the RX 9070 XT, which failed to register in the Steam survey, does have a presence on Amazon's sales figures. However, the overall figures suggest that AMD is struggling to keep up with Nvidia in the GPU market.
