While NVIDIA continues to focus on releasing high-end graphics cards like the GeForce RTX 4080 and GeForce RTX 4090, the latest Steam hardware survey suggests that gamer sentiment lies elsewhere. For example, Valve reports that only 0.53% of survey respondents use an RTX 3090, slightly lower than the RTX 3080 Ti at 0.79%. The RTX 3080 fares better at 1.84% usage, but mid-range cards continue to dominate.
Surprisingly, the GeForce GTX 1650 has now overtaken the evergreen GeForce GTX 1060, which experienced roughly a 25% month-on-month drop from its 7.62% high in October. By contrast, GeForce GTX 1650 grew by 0.66% to 6.27%. As a result, the GeForce GTX 1650 now enjoys a 0.5% lead atop Steam's hardware survey. For context, the GeForce GTX 1650 utilises the TU117 GPU, offers 896 shaders, a 75 W TGP and 4 GB of VRAM on a 128-bit memory bus.
GeForce GTX 1650 usage increased by less than the laptop variant of the GeForce RTX 3060, which rose by 1.24% since October. Meanwhile, the Radeon RX 580 remains AMD's most popular graphics card on Steam with 1.20% usage; no other AMD discrete solution exceeds 1% share, with the Radeon RX 570 sitting slightly short on 0.95%. By contrast, the RX 5700 XT is the most used card in AMD's latest two Radeon RX generations. Worse still, Intel Arc has amassed less than 0.16% market share to date, with no Arc GPU making its way onto Steam's leaderboard.
