Nvidia's RTX 40-series cards haven't yet gained traction with gamers on Steam

pcgamer.com:

Steam’s latest hardware survey has been released. The key trends for June 2023 show that Nvidia's RTX 40-series is struggling to gain market share, while Windows 10 remains the most popular gaming OS by far.

Let's begin with the video card results. Mid range xx50 and xx60 cards continue to dominate the list. The GTX 1650 is the most popular with a 5.50% share followed by the RTX 3060 at 4.50% and a previous list-topper, the GTX 1060 at 4.45%. In fact you have go down a further six spots before you encounter the RTX 3070. The majority of gamers simply cannot or will not spend big dollars on high end graphics cards.

AMD's first entry is well down the list, and it's just integrated graphics. AMD's highest ranked discrete GPU is the venerable RX 580 with just 1% of the overall market share.

What's interesting is how Nvidia's RTX 40-series has so far failed to make much of an impression, with the mobile RTX 4060 coming in 29th spot and the RTX 4070 Ti coming in 35th spot. Admittedly the RTX 40-series as a whole has been available for a fraction of the time its predecessors have been and the RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 will definitely climb up the list over the next couple of years. But looking at these results, it's hard to see how Nvidia could be too thrilled with RTX 40-series uptake. Does it really care when it's making billions from AI hardware though?
