What about AMD though? Well, the short answer is that the Radeon 6000 series is still largely invisible in the top 50. – Based on these results, in fact, the 3060 was seemingly the best-selling GPU of August 2022 and by quite a significant margin too! – With the 3060 managing to snag itself a 0.6% slice of the pie in just one month, this is clearly pretty impressive and certainly indicative that with prices and availability returning to normal, people are viewing this as a popular choice. It may have taken around 18 months, but Nvidia 30XX graphics cards are finally starting to moderately cement themselves in GPU market share charts. Incidentally though, who among you decided to roll back to Windows 7?… Or 8.1 for that matter? Graphics Cards – Nvidia 30XX on the Rise? It still has a long way to go through before it comes anything close to challenging Windows 10’s near-total dominance. Still though, like it or not, Windows 11 is gaining traction. And lest we forget, this figure is purely from the Steam Hardware Survey with the actual generic adoption rate currently closer to circa 12-14%.
With a figure of 23.78%, this is still clearly woefully below what Microsoft would’ve wanted at this point. With AMD still maintaining that circa 31-32% market share, however, they’re undoubtedly not going to complain too much given that for many years this figure was well below 20% at certain points! It highlights the genuine success that Ryzen has been for AMD ever since it make its debut in 2017.Īdmittedly though, with new models from both AMD and Intel literally just weeks away now, it’s surprising to see this market share figure move so notably.Īnd with Windows 11 nearly one year old now, the latest Steam figures clearly show that, slowly but surely, gamers (at least) are making the transition to the new operating system. Starting with processors, it’s more than a little surprising to see that Intel has gained an additional, and notably impressive 1.65% market share from AMD. So, with the publication of the latest results, what can we learn from them? Well, while there are certainly big (and possibly surprising) gains for Intel, Nvidia, and Windows 11, perhaps the most surprising news is that the VR market seems to be having something of a minor crisis! Steam Hardware Survey – August 2022

No, gaming isn’t the be-all and end-all of hardware trends, but it is certainly indicative of what the key moves our since, well… Most people with a PC tend to dabble a little in gaming and if you’re going to do that, then you’ll almost certainly have Steam installed on your system. As we have often said in the past, the Steam Hardware Survey undoubtedly represents one of the best sources of information when it comes to consumer purchasing trends in the PC hardware world.
