We have to be aware that the hardware statistics that Steam presents are interesting, but they have deficiencies. It has setup data from different users who haven’t connected to the platform for months or even years. This makes the reliability of the data limited, but it is still quite interesting market trend data.
NVIDIA continues to crush Intel and AMD in GPUs
The trend, in terms of market dominance, continues and it does not seem that it is going to move excessively. Currently, NVIDIA dominate more than 75% of the market and it seems quite complicated that this value moves. amd For his part, he has almost the 15% fee market and Intel has just the 9% fee.
Something very interesting is to see the graphics cards that dominate the market Currently, they are from NVIDIA. The most used is the GTX1060 with a 7.17% share and that increases its presence by 0.02%. This graphics card is followed by the GTX1650 with a 6.45% fee, although it registers -0.03%. Finally, the third position is held by the GTX 1650Ti with a 5.65% feewhich registers -0.01%.
To find the first AMD graphics card we must go down quite a bit. The first we find is RX580 with a 1.49% fee, registering a rise of 0.01%. In second position (within AMD graphics) we have the RX570 with a 1.18% fee and a rise of 0.04. Close the list Radeon Vega 8which integrates into Ryzen APUs, with a 1.01% feeregistering -0.04%.
Regarding Intel, we only found interesting the data on the presence of the intel iris xewith a 0.80% feeregistering a drop of -0.09%.
Surprise among the graphics that most increase in popularity
We have also looked at what have been the most used graphs on Steam, which have registered the highest. It is interesting that the top 5 is made up of four NVIDIA graphics and one AMD graphics. It seems that Valve store users prefer solutions developed by Jensen Huang’s company.
The first position is quite interesting, showing how the RTX 3080 register a 0.24% rise and already has a market share of 1.51%. In second position is the RTX 3070that increases by 0.19% and keeps a share of 2.13%.
It has slipped into third position GTX 1070with a 0.18% rise and that it has a market share of 2.39%. The fourth position is for the RTX 3060 with a 0.18% rise and a total share of 2.36%. Finally, we have the RX5700which enters strongly with a 0.16% fee market.
Other interesting data that Steam shows us
We also have other data, such as the API supported by the most used graphics cards. Like is logic, DirectX 12 controls the 92.66% of the market with a rise of 0.85%. DirectX 11 has a presence of 1.75%, although it is down -0.21% and DirectX 10 has a presence of 1%, with a drop of -0.17%. It draws a lot of attention that DirectX 8 has a presence of 4.57%although it registers a fall of 0.46%.
In addition, we have data on the amount of VRAM memory used in graphics cards. The 25.28% of graphics cards have 8 GB of memory graph, with a brutal rise of 1.26%. The second position is for graphs with 6GB VRAMwith a 21.45% fee and a drop of -0.05%. In third position are the graphs with 4GB of VRAM with a 17.31% quotaregistering a fall of -0.14%.
There are more interesting data in this regard. The 8.72% of users have graphs with 1GB, but its presence falls by 0.69%. Then we have that the 9.71% of users has graphs with 2GB, but its presence falls by -0.84%. The 2.41% of users has graphs with 10GB of VRAM, registering a rise of 0.29%.
Then there are the graphs with 11GB of VRAM with a 2.5% presence and a rise of 0.15%. Finally, the 5.4% of users has graphs with 12GB of VRAMwhich represents an increase of 0.4%.
conclusion
All these data lead us to be able to say that users are betting on NVIDIA graphics with 8 GB of VRAM or higher. It seems to indicate that the medium and high range of the RTX 30 Series family is the most common among users for gaming. What seems clear is that NVIDIA graphics are and will be, for a long time, the most used on Steam.
It seems that users are already looking for a good amount of VRAM to have great performance. We also clearly see how NVIDIA is the queen and the one that rises the most among the users of the Valve platform. AMD does not finish taking off on Steam, although the company’s graphics cards are selling quite well.
