I was having a conversation last night with a mate, and we were wondering which graphics card, from both AMD and Nvidia is the most bought on average?
Opinions? and maybe Gibbo would like to give a little insight here.
 
My guess:

1. AMD: 6600 / 6600 XT and nvidia: 3060
2. AMD: 6700 XT and nvidia: 3060 Ti
3. nvidia: 3050
4. nvidia: 3070 Ti / 3070

6500 XT doesn't exist
 
Gibbo frequently says nvidia outsell AMD regularly by a big margin. Given 1060 is still hella popular i guess 3060 may take the crown. I've not looked on Steam recently so that give an estimate, but also what was the most effective mining card for cost may skew results a bit.
 
970 or 1060. Of recent cards harder to tell due to the shortages. But maybe 3060?

Would not go back as far as 460 purely because it seems to me there is a bigger market out there now. But that sure was a very well priced GPU as I recall.

1050ti, 6600XT, 6600
 
Wow a £900 RTX 3080 is at #4! Excluding mining kit anyway. But out of stock now. Maybe they are only producing the LHR versions now?

It's interesting that the 'Restocked and Reloaded' Nvidia campaign doesn't appear to apply to reference models.

3. 6600
4. 6600 XT

It's difficult to guess because there's so much discussion about the 3080 and 3090 etc. The "Is 10Gb enough" crowd etc. The lower tiers rarely get talked about in comparison. Although that's probably they're very humble and modest while high end people like to shout from the roof tops about it.
 
Controversial take, probably wrong, and hopefully by now would have readjusted to sensible levels. But over the last couple years I bet the number of 3090s sold was disproportionately high. Just because even at the worst of the shortage nvidia seemed very happy to keep restocking that particular sku. Wonder why

Which is quite true, however you have to account for the 3080 for example has been out for 19 months, whereas the 3060 has only been available for 14 months. Most of the lower end were trickled out last so all the keen folk had managed to grab a stronger card rather than wait. You also wont get the 3060 guys posting "Is 12Gb enough" as its clearly more than enough, whereas buying a flagship card with less generated the topic.

Would be good to have a poll though on the lower stack from the mods of who bought what! :)
 
We know that the 1060 was a big seller so I expect the 6600 to do well, as its currently much nearer in price to how much the 1060 sold for than the 3060 is.
 
It's hard to say because this generation of GPU has quite literally been ******.

Availability might have very much skewed things, whilst I agree the cheaper/lower end cards would usually be the biggest sellers, in this generation, I dunno, the extreme prices may have put the more casual user off?

It really has been a miserable 12 months for the GPU market, which is still far from ideal today.
 
Hi there

Without analysing the data too heavily and the fact it changes from month to month, but in April the number one spot would be a very close call between 3080 and 3070Ti, as thousands of both sold during April, 3rd spot is most likely 3070 and 6600, but again limited due to lack of stock to get the true picture.

If we go back to say January/February which was before the big NVIDIA price moves OcUK did the actual top seller (units) was the card everyone hates, 6500 XT. :D

This April we shipped more GPU's than we did last April during the height of the pandemic and shortages, which says to us gamers are buying in huge volumes again and to be fair to OcUK during March and April we have pretty much generally lead the way with price drops which of course now shows in an excellent sales performance that looks to continue into May. :)
 
Cheers Gibbo.

I am going to continue stubbornly waiting for RTX 3080 prices to fall in price a bit more, I wonder if that's a realistic expectation.

For the RTX 4000 series, I'm guessing that that RTX 4070 will be priced more competitively than higher end models though, as was the case with the 3000 series.

Gonna play the devil's advocate and mention that the 6500 XT is still more powerful than the Series S GPU, and cheaper than buying a Series S also! And it has a whole 16MB of infinity cache too!

Well the sales are very strong again now on 3080 and due to pound weaking our cost have increased slightly and been no further drops in USD, the price drops manufacturers have done so farseem to be enough to push sales in right direction.
