You have to be aware that the hardware statistics that Steam presents are interesting, but they have some shortcomings. It contains configuration data of different users who haven’t logged into 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 doesn’t look like it’s 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 almost has 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 GTX-1060 with a 7.17% fee and this increases its presence by 0.02%. This graphics card is followed by the GTX-1650
To find the first AMD graphics card, you have to go down quite a bit. The first we find is RX580 with a 1.49% fee, registering an increase of 0.01%. In second place (within AMD graphics) we have the RX570 with a 1.18% fee and an increase of 0.04. Close list Radeon Vega 8that integrates with Ryzen APUs, with a 1.01% feerecording a -0.04%.
Concerning Intel, only the data on the presence of the Intel Iris Xewith a 0.80% feeregistering a decrease of -0.09%.
Surprise among the most popular graphics
We also looked at which were the most used charts on Steam which saw the highest rates. Interestingly, the top 5 is made up of four NVIDIA graphics and one AMD graphic. It seems that users of the Valve store prefer solutions developed by Jensen Huang’s company.
The first position is quite interesting, showing how the RTX-3080 save a 0.24% increase and already has a market share of 1.51%. In second place is the RTX-3070What increases by 0.19% and retains a 2.13% share.
He slipped to third position GTX-1070
Other interesting data that Steam shows us
We also have other data, such as the API supported by the most used graphics cards. Like logic, DirectX 12 control the 92.66% of the market with an increase 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%, down -0.17%. It attracts a lot of attention DirectX 8 has a presence of 4.57%although it registers a decrease 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
There is more interesting data in this regard. The 8.72% of users have graphics with 1 GB, but its presence drops by 0.69%. Then we have that the 9.71% of users has graphics with 2 GB, but its presence drops by -0.84%. The 2.41% of users has graphics with 10 GB of VRAM, registering an increase of 0.29%.
Then there are the graphics with 11 GB of VRAM with a 2.5% attendance and an increase of 0.15%. Finally, the 5.4% of users has graphics with 12 GB of VRAMwhich represents an increase of 0.4%.
conclusion
All this data allows us to say that users are betting on NVIDIA graphics with 8 GB of VRAM or more. This seems to indicate that the mid and high range of the RTX 30 Series family is most common among gaming users. 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 users of the Valve platform. AMD continues to take off on Steam, even if the company’s graphics cards are selling quite well.
