Steam Survey October 2024 Update: Not a Single AMD GPU in Top 20, Radeon RX 6600 Replaces RX 580 as AMD’s Most Popular SKU

As we entered November, Valve just finished processing data for October in its monthly update of Steam Hardware and Software Survey, showcasing trend changes in the largest gaming community. And according to October data, AMD’s discrete GPUs are not exactly in the best place. In the top 20 most commonly used GPUs, not a single SKU was based on AMD. All of them included NVIDIA as their primary GPU choice. However, there is some change to AMD’s entries, as the Radeon RX 580, which used to be the most popular AMD GPU, just got bested by Radeon RX 6600 as the most common choice for AMD gamers. The AMD Radeon RX 6600 now holds 0.98% of the GPU market.

NVIDIA’s situation paints a different picture, as the top 20 spots are all occupied by NVIDIA-powered gamers. The GeForce RTX 3060 remains the most popular GPU at 7.46% of the GPU market, but the number two spot is now held by GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU at 5.61%. This is an interesting change since this NVIDIA GPU was at third place, right behind the regular GeForce RTX 4060 for desktop. But laptop gamers are in abundance and they are showing their strenght, placing the desktop GeForce RTX 4060 at third place recording 5.25% usage.
