Lisa Su - our best launch ever.

Jenson Huang - Who? Never heard of them.

AMD: "Buy our new Radeon graphics cards, FSR4 is as good as DLSS4 and our cards are 20% cheaper"

Developers: "This game doesn't support FSR4"

Retailers: "This Radeon costs exactly the same as that Geforce."

Not surprising to see people still bought rtx 50 series cards despite all of the issues such as melting connectors, missing rops, and multiple driver updates causing black screens and crashes. The mindshare, marketing, and brand recognition are powerful enough to convince consumers to buy overpriced cards regardless of the problems.
And the gaming market is so screwed when people will empty their wallet for the leather jacket man no matter what, AMD cutting prices has never worked to outsell the competition.

Maybe AMD should try making a better product next time.

The worst Nvidia GPU series since Fermi and still out of stock.
Gamers deserve the prices they are crying about.

Nvidia is now in teh same position as microsoft windows is for many years. It will not matter much anymore for myself. Quality games are rare.

The report might not include recent AMD sales but AMD has been losing marketshare over the years regardless. The problem is many AMD generations are way behind. The 5000 series had no ray tracing or upscaling (initially). The 6000 series was the best in years but poor ray racing. The 7000 series lost ground in power efficiency and ray tracing. The 8000 9000 series is pretty good, closing the gap in performance, upscaling, and ray tracing, but selling literally just 2 chips for 3 1/2 models.

Nvidia just offered its smallest generational improvement ever yet still landed just slighlty ahead of AMD. And Nvidia is selling 6 1/2 models today with one more coming.

Interesting. Especially comments about how (after the fact, mind you) Intel and AMD have made mistakes, what they were, and how they should have proceeded instead. You do realize they both employ thousands of some of the most intelligent people in the world, right? Gotta love the internet.

 

[SSGBryan]

AMD should have launched first the latest gen, not wait for nGreedia first and adapt the prices accordingly.
Sometimes I feel that the Marketing and Management idiots from AMD are too incompetent to lift that company .

AMD launched when they did because they needed the time to build up their stock levels.

If AMD tripled their production, they would still only reach half of the potential customer base.

They didn't know for sure that they had a hit on their hands, after all - Nvidia hasn't hosed up a generation like the 5000 series in a very long time.

 

[mechtech]

Well if Nvidia is reading this it means people will pay whatever for their cards.

So sell the 5060 8GB for $1000 and scale up the rest of the RTX cards from there

I mean if I was at Nvidia that's what I would do Just sell the cards as high as possible to keep an 80% market share.

There's no cult like the AMD cult. Here's a thread where the OP mentioned looking at an Nvidia gpu and the AMD cult started frothing at the mouth and lost their sh1t. Those people are insane.

Maybe but Nvidia has 92% market share of the cult though

Bad data + bad analysis.

JPR data s nothing but steam data repurposed with old blue Excel charts... I don't trust it and wonder why TPU and others actually pay for a poor report. I have no doubt AMD is between 10-20% market share but please use an honest, reliable source. Steam survey data is not accurate, more of a rough estimate.

 

[Broken Processor]

And nothing will change, since amd is already copying whatever nvidia is doing, them pulling out of the gpu market will have less than 0 impact. Just - they need to make sure they close the door on their way out, aight?


Just FYI, and I know no one has brought it up before even though we keep getting pestered about ngreedias drivers - it's time we put a stop to this nonsense. Here you go, a 1.2k+ comments megathread will lots of issues on the 9070 and 9070xt. And let's be clear here, with a tiny 8% marketshare and just 2 GPU models available, the mere existence of a giant giga mega thread should put an end to this whole debate. But yeah, nvidias drivers are bad man

https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/1j6ksd1/megathread_rx_9070_xt_black_screen_freezing_issues

I've been reading that thread with genuine curiosity and wondering what sort of machines they are sticking these cards into. After my 6800xt died I got my 9070 xt Red Devil 6 weeks ago and it's been rock solid so maybe I've been lucky as it runs faster than most oc 5070ti scores I've seen with minimal tuning.

JPR data is the number of GPUs sold in Q1 2025. Steam survey is all the GPUs regardless of purchase date that are currently playing on the Steam digital distribution service.

 

[Neo_Morpheus]

I recall one guy getting upset in that thread, the cult was all the Nvidia users rushing into the thread to tell the OP to pay more, the insane thing was paying more for a 5070Ti.

And they also ignored the fact that this person was gaming on a 1080p monitor.

But yes, the usual suspects jumped in with the typical "Buy Ngreedia yoo!" and the rest is history.

I lost all faith in the SHS.

For far too long now, the posts are the same "I havent received a survey in 10 years"

when you ask that person which GPU has, yeap AMD.

Myself havent received one in years and that only happened when I swapped my previous 6900xt for a gtx970 I had, because I needed to test something.

We are reaching levels of delusion previously thought impossible. Now we are speculating that fucking Valve is in bed with NVidia and essentially falsifying their HS stats? Why? For what possible purpose would they do it? I hope the answer isn’t “NV bribed them” because… bribing Valve is financially implausible, let’s put it like this.

You can't just look at this at surface level without including how long the GPU development process is. Nvidia was the one that force RT on every one with RTX 2000 series, and they could do it because of the large market share. There was no way AMD could put any ray tracing in RX5000 for hardware that was already finalized and in production. These things get decided to be included and worked on for some years before we see them as product. So AMD was always one dev cycle behind on RT. The same can be said for RX6000, RT was probably added in later dev stage.

You can just look at the AMD CPU products. They had the better product for some years now, but they just managed around 30% market share with continued Intel fuckups. I don't realistically see AMD caching to Nvidia in the next 5 years, when Nvidia can just force something new.

Huh? been having the steam survey invite for consecutive years here since the 2000s. You must not get on steam regularly then?
Imho, the steam survey is a pretty good indicator of market usage with PC gaming.

Ok so we would not going to talk about the issue where if you have integrated AMD GPU it gets reported instead of your dGPU. Which is also reported from people with Nvidia cards. Or that some AMD GPUs get misreported as just AMD Radeon Graphics. Then we can say that Steam HW is 100% true data.

 

[Macro Device]

No matter whom they employ they still committed to very poor management. Misused geniuses also exist.

how (after the fact, mind you) Intel and AMD have made mistakes

In December, I was a wee baffled by the fact there's no AMD GPU release. The perfect moment: NV have nada to offer, DLSS4 doesn't exist, peeps are running shopaholics because it's Christmas and stuff, yet AMD keep it vocal, not physical. In January, I started being really afraid it's gonna be same shit again. And by February, it's become confirmed: AMD didn't even try to be decent. By March, I realised I was wrong: it's not the same shit again, it's worse shit again. And now... Well. Buying an AMD GPU has never been more fanboyish than it is now.

Further AMD GPU division actions effectively don't matter from now on. They try fixing it, no one will care. They keep it up, no one will care. They sell out, no one is genius and enthusiastic enough to make it work. They vanish, no one will care, too. Buying an AMD GPU now is like dancing on a mine field. They can stop making new drivers at any given moment. They bulldozed themselves much harder with RDNA4 than they did with FX processors.

Recommending a 5070Ti, for gaming at 1080p, wow that's just nuts, the OP could've bought a 9070/9070XT and spent the extra $200 on a 1440p monitor.
But no, the thread was flooded with you must buy a 5070Ti for DLSS4 and MFG.

I haven't gotten one in a few years, and I've only ever gotten the survey 2 or 3 times, so I don't put much trust in the Steam HW survey.

Ok so we would not going to talk about the issue where if you have integrated AMD GPU it gets reported instead of your dGPU. Which is also reported from people with Nvidia cards. Or that some AMD GPUs get misreported as just AMD Radeon Graphics. Then we can say that Steam HW is 100% true data.

The Steam HW survey is also randomized, so it shouldn't be trusted the amount it is, IMO. Steam has full hardware stats of everyone using the application, so they could easily report hardware data with much better accuracy.

That's fair; it's understandable that ray tracing kind of blindsided AMD and took some time to catch up on. Nvidia similarly took a while to catch up with AMD on Vulcan and DirectX 12 overhead after AMD developed Mantle.

But the 7000 series also had weak ray tracing. Intel's A and B series both came to market with strong ray tracing performance before AMD's 8000 9000 series. XESS when it launched was also generally considered better than FSR.

Nvidia introduced G-Sync, ray tracing, and DLSS, while AMD has only introduced Mantle in that timeframe. AMD VCE has also always been behind QuickSync and NVENC for video encoding. AMD, Nvidia, and Intel all knew AV1 was coming and released AV1 encoding around the same time, and yet Intel and Nvidia did much better with the first iteration. AMD is rarely best or first at anything. (Although AMD control panel is arguably the best, but perhaps I'm biased because it's what I'm familiar with.)

Its a bit tiresome when people argue just to argue by making assumptions.

I have been using Steam on pretty much a daily basis for over 15 years.

Also, my friends and I, which all have AMD gpus, go the extra mile to make sure to restart the Steam client the last day of the month and the first of the next, since thats when you are suppose to get it and nothing.

Want better example of how bad this is?

The last one doesnt show any RDNA4 entries on Windows.

But it shows a 0.60% in Linux.

Make whatever you want with that data, but those are the facts.

THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!!!!

 

[wolf]

And here I thought the 9070XT series alone wiped the floor with Nvidia 50 series sales, so I guess that wasn't true.

Seems like more of what we see fairly often, wishful thinking on the part of the most vocal AMD supporters.

Now isn't it time for someone to drag out mindfactory sales and say they represent the entire market?
