Just what is NVIDIA up to?

Steam Hardware & Software Survey

4080: 0.47%
The 4060Ti is at 0.23%

The 4080 has already overtaken the RX 6600 XT which is one of AMD's most popular RDNA2 GPU's.

The 7900XT, not even made it on the list.

7900xt is not on the list but the 7900xtx is with 0.17%. It's down the bottom on the list

The sad thing is the RTX 4080 is probably nvidia's worst selling GPU currently and yet they appear to have moved about 1 million of them, the other RTX models all sell much better

 

[humbug]

Steam hardware survey 0.46% rtx4080. There are 200 million PCs on steam, so approximately 1 million RTX4080 sold

RX7900 XTX is the only RX7000 GPU and is now appearing in the survey at 0.17%. So approximately 340k RX7900XTX sold.

Well there you have it, a million massively over priced 4080's already sold.

I'll say it again..... can't wait for the £1500 5080.

That would mean AMD will price at £1200-£1300 and call it 8900xtxtx if they can't compete against 90 tier card

 

[humbug]

If you take all of the 40 series on that list it comes to 2.58%.

Of 200 million that's over 5 million sold, you have to hand it to Nvidia..... #### me that's impressive, i doubt AMD could sell that many through the lift time of the generation and the RTX 40 series has only just got started.

No wonder Nvidia don't need to try...

Doesn't help AMD still hasn't released the rest of it's stack this stuff needs to get released earlier

Yeah.... i think they will be announced at Gamescom in 3 or 4 weeks and go on sale with Starfield in 4 weeks.

For you a good deal isn’t even the 7900XT being given away for free lol

I don't think £600 is free especially for a mid range card this generation but each to his own.

Mislabeled as it is, I wouldn't describe it as midrange.

Thats still very poor for Nvidia considering we are now 10 months into the generation, for reference the 3070 had a larger steam % just on its own 4 months after launch and that was with most the cards going on mining rigs.

Why not? the 4090 is 50% faster in raster and double that in RT, Last gen this was a similar gap between a 3060ti and 3090 and no one called the 3060ti high end.

You falling for leather jacket man’s ******** now? The more you spend the more you save right?

Prices were a joke on release but to claim the 7900 XT is still wildly overpriced at £700ish with an £85 game bundle just reeks of saltiness now. If you still think the 6800 XT replacement should be £600 considering inflation you are deluded.

The 6800 XT was £600 on release and the 3080 was £650. The 7900 XT offers ~35% better performance for similar prices when inflation and the game bundle is added. I’m not claiming the 7900XT is high end but neither were the 3080 or 6800XT on release. Purely by virtue of the fact they weren’t the fastest GPUs last gen. They were simply among the best price/perf and the 7900 XT falls right in to the same price/perf bracket.

Don’t fall for the Nvidia scam of comparing everything to the 4090. The 7900 XT is less than half the price of a 4090 and offers 2/3rds the performance.

Its already sold more than the 2080Ti.

Good Grief what? the 4090 is 3X more than that.

I'm not saying its wildly overpriced as we are now about £100 off from where I think it should be, sure starfield adds some value while the promo is running but it'll still be on gamepass day one and that's only a couple of quid a month which is how I intend to play it. I fully expect it to hit £600 by the new year as I think the 7900XTX will drop to £800 which will create further downward pressure.

In my opinion the 7900XT is a 6800 replacement not the 6800XT, The latter matched a 3080 the former was about 10-15% slower as the 7900XT is now against a 4080. I think AMD originally planned for it to be a 4080 competitor but RDNA3 just didn't turn out as well as expected.

I agree that the 7900XT currently offers the best price performance for the current gen but then thats not hard considering how bad most the other cards are priced especially Nvidia's 70 and 80 offerings.

You say its a scam comparing everything to a 4090 but then proceed to compare the 7900XT to a 4090 but I guess the 4090 is the benchmark and even then it's more cut down than a 3090 was. A 7900XT having 2/3rds the performance for less than half the price sounds good and it is in relation to most other cards this gen but then when you think a 3070 offered 2/3rds the performance of a 3090 for 1/3rd of the price while a 3080 and 6800XT offered 90% the performance for less than half the price then your not getting quite so good of a deal.

I compared the 7900 XT to a 4090 to address your logical fallacy of using the 4090 as a yardstick to shoehorn the 7900 XT as a 4080 competitor. That is some mental gymnastics right there. Even ignoring the fact the 7900 XT is a lot cheaper than a 4080 right now if you want to compare.

The problem is you have been conflating the new Nvidia tiering and pricing with the new AMD tiering and pricing. Nvidia moved their mid tier stuff up two tiers along with a significant price jump. They also left a 25% gap between their 2nd tier and their new top dog. This was done to up sell “the more you spend the more you save” bullpoo. AMD moved their mid tier stuff up one tier along with a nowhere near as significant price jump. I said back before release that AMD were bad but Nvidia are still a lot worse. Don’t get me wrong, AMD 7900 XTX was also overpriced on release IMHO but it has also seen price reductions.

The 7900 XT is not the 6800 replacement based on the actual GPU specifications. It was always the 6800 XT replacement but bumped up one tier a long with a ~£150 - £200 price jump. Look at the 7900 XT specs, it is a big jump over the previous 2nd tier AMD GPU 6800 XT. Had the 7900 XT been released at its current price there would be no complaints.

You keep saying the 7900 XT is still £100 overpriced but I’m sorry that is just deluded nonsense. Since the 6800 XT released in Nov 2020 the pound is worth about 6% less against the dollar and we have had twice the inflation the US has. This means the £600 6800 XT price is about £700 (or more) in todays money.

Do we actually know how many PC's are in the survey?

I find it very difficult to believe that one million RTX4080's have been sold.

@Joxeon For you and others who are sworn loyalists to Jensen, AMD would literally have to drop prices 50% and give 2 games free before mind share would shift lol.

I think there has to be a certain hysteria, which is why AMD keep failing. They are just not aggressive enough.

Agreed and if the 7900 XTX was £900 on release and the 7900 XT was £700, then I would not care about the naming. Those prices and performance would have been seen as unbeatable.
