AMD looks like it’s losing the GPU war based on new Steam survey, with Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti proving itself to be popular already
- Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti is already present in the top GPUs for Steam gamers with a 0.21% market share, less than two months after launch.
- AMD’s RX 9070 models have not appeared in the Steam hardware survey yet, and it's speculated that their fortunes may change with the RX 9060 GPUs.
- The RTX 5060 Ti has outperformed AMD's RX 9070 models in sales, per the May Steam hardware survey results.
- The RTX 5070 gained 0.33% market share, and RTX 5080 improved to 0.47% in the same period.
- AMD’s RX 9070 models have not gained any percentage points in the survey since their launch three months ago.
- The lack of appearance of AMD’s RX 9070 models in the Steam survey may be attributed to supply levels and pricing issues.
- The pricing of AMD's RX 9070 GPUs is inflated, with the RX 9070 XT priced at $800 in the US, making it inaccessible for many buyers.
- In contrast, the RTX 5060 Ti is available for around $390, making it more affordable for gamers, although with performance trade-offs.
- Buyers may opt for the RTX 5060 Ti due to affordability and its similarity on paper to higher-tier Nvidia GPUs, despite potential performance limitations.
- The upcoming AMD RX 9060 models may introduce more affordable options, but their pricing and availability will play a key role in their success.
