Valve has shared the latest Steam Hardware & Software Survey. Now our previous coverage for Steam’s Hardware & Software Survey was in December 2020, so it’s really interesting comparing them with these latest results.
As we can see, NVIDIA has managed to increase its market dominance. In December 2020, 73.86% of the survey takers were using an NVIDIA GPU. And as we can see, the green team has managed to increase its dominance by 1.6%.
On the other hand, AMD is steadily increasing its CPU market share. The red team was able to increase its market share by around 1.2%. So, while Intel is still dominating the CPU market, AMD is at least (slowly but steadily) gaining some ground.
Below you can find the full Steam Hardware & Software Survey results.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

My next CPU will be AMD, probably the 5950x, but AMD’s GPUs still lag at least a generation behind Nvidia so no surprise there.
no they dont .. they do not lag.. read some reviews
bs and bs and more bs
read some reviews and then come back.. Stop being an idiot that spews nonsense
Actually its true what he says, a lot of NVIDIA FEATURES are just too good
look up at the features amd has that nvidia took a year to implement
With AMD, att least, you don’t needs a last generation CPU to fully use your graphic card…..
AMD’s 6000 series actually is ahead of Nvidia.
The only thing AMD lacks currently is their ray tracing performance.
Nvidia is on their 2nd RT generation, while AMD is on their first WITH their own “dlss” yet to release.
First gen Nvidia RT was as unsuable in real world as AMD’s first gen.
In raw power AMD is ahead of Nvidia.
They don’t lag, they just ain’t available & that’s all AMDs fault.
Good. AMD has some good stuff for developers or designers, but gamers just need to go get an Intel chip. More affordable, more available, and NO ISSUES INSTALLING THE F**KING THING! Time after time over the past year, bunk-as$ CPUs. Lady brought her new build over last week. First time builder, upset she might have screwed something up. Troubleshoot it and come to find when I put in my working 3600 cpu, everything works. It’s like there’s a 50% failure rate with these cpus. Sure, once it works, it should be fine, but still! Not everyone is like me and has spare parts to test with, so it makes these people buying their parts now struggling with this BS. F ’em!
It was a bad CPU, please learn to read. There’s a children’s section at your local library that you can begin at. Stay away from the kids though, you menace.
And I own a computer repair business for 11 years, #1 in a giant metroplex, and I build customs all the time. Lately AMDs have had issues. You wouldn’t know it because you build or upgrade a computer once every five years. Low-skilled heathen, keep your mouth shut when you don’t know enough to talk about something.
Especially Intel will dominate Steam charts for several years to come, because a LOT of people are gaming on their old sh*tty Intel laptops that can barely run notepad.
That on top of the fact that AMD came back only 3 years ago, make Steam charts questionable as a reliably source for statistics. I believe Steve from Gamer’s Nexus has also said something akin to this.
The Steam charts are for those that opt in so it isn’t a clear indication for all users. AMD really hasn’t truly outperformed Intel until their 5000 series I just popped a 5800x in my PC last week glad my gigabyte x470 updated the firmware to support it along with the shared access memory and all that good stuff.
Intel still makes a competitive product and some people are brand loyal. I love competitive products because they keep the price down a humble Intel is a better Intel for sure.
You think people care about that privacy stuff. You are looking at a Generation of people that have chosen Convience over their civil liberties. They think N*zi Germany/Atlantic slave trade/Armenian genocide/The lynching of the Irish or italians/any atrocities against mankind is just a story for the history books. For the first time on earth you have people that just doesn’t give a damn on both sides of the coin. The ones getting their rights violated and the ones violating others.
People just doesn’t give a damn. The give no such fuqs that they’ll wear a face diaper on their faces for 1 year and counting. Then they’ll finally draw the line when TOLD to wear 3 face diapers at once. “I’LL wear 1 but 3, no way man. Let’s riot so we can go back to wearing just 1 face diaper that doesn’t do a damn thing but fuq up your respretory system.
Wanna know how much garbage all this is? Turn on the tv and watch an NBA game. Because you know life must go on for the rich and powerful. The players are on the court, mask-less, seating, rubbing up against each other, fluids in each other’s face. But one they enter the bench, they put the face diaper back on. ??? That is what we call, “falling for the okie doke” . Covid doesn’t exists on the court, it exists on the sidelines of the court. I’ll shut up now, I’m sure you get my point…
“Convenience/Comfort over rights & freedoms…” all in the name of your, “safety”. If they cared about your safety they’d have made 85% of the food in the grocers illegal.
This sh!t society will just go worst till it end… All for the ca$h, all for your own, egoïsm is the norm…

No surprises here, If I could, I would take new generation of RTX 30XX over ANY AMD product out there within a single second
This is not the same size of business too…….. AMD have 10100 employees and they are producing CPU and GPU…. Nvidia have 11600 employees and they are mostly in the GPU market…
Don’t give a f**k, I just want a GPU upgrade with RTX from my GTX 980Ti
My AMD computers are broken, my intel pentium 3 still posts
