NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series Gains Significant Market Share in Latest Steam Hardware Survey
In June 2025, the Steam Hardware & Software Survey revealed a notable increase in the adoption of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs among Steam users worldwide. According to the official Steam survey data, the RTX 50 series cards, including the RTX 5070, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090 models, have rapidly expanded their market presence, surpassing several competing AMD RX 9000 series GPUs in popularity.
The survey, conducted by Valve and published on Steam’s platform, collects hardware usage statistics from millions of active users to provide an overview of current PC gaming trends. The latest results indicate that the RTX 5090, NVIDIA’s flagship GPU, is now more widely used among Steam gamers than all AMD RX 9000 series graphics cards combined. This shift highlights NVIDIA’s growing dominance in the high-end GPU segment.
Industry analysis from TechPowerUp and TweakTown corroborates these findings, noting that the RTX 50 series’ performance improvements and competitive pricing have driven strong consumer adoption since their release earlier this year. The data also shows steady growth in the mid-range RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti models, which appeal to gamers seeking a balance between cost and performance.
This trend reflects broader market dynamics where NVIDIA continues to leverage its technological advancements and ecosystem support to maintain a leading position in PC gaming hardware. The Steam Hardware Survey remains a key resource for tracking such shifts, offering valuable insights into the evolving preferences of the global gaming community.
