True, true. So many people come into General Hardware asking for feedback on an Nvidia build they've put together, and leave with an AMD card :D

edit: Steam survey shows:
nVidia: 52.01%
AMD/ATi: 31.36%
Intel: 16.25%
Other: 0.38%

Steam survey is dependant on them asking you to take part and you agreeing.

In the years that i have had Steam installed i have been asked twice, probably about 13 in 15 results did not include my hardware.

Like many surveys Steam is useless, despite this people do like to think of it as gospel.

In terms of global GFX sales, which includes Mobile/Desktop Discrete GPU's and APU's, according to JPR its;

Intel: 62%
AMD: 20%
Nvidia: 18%

As of Q4 2013

Also keep in mind that, for example a 4670K or a 4770K is an APU, an FX 6300 is not.

I voted both but possibly worth mentioning my main card is a GTX780, the R290/280X/HD5870 armada are just for mining and if I had to bin all but one of my cards I would keep the 780.

Just a small sample size i know, but a lot of my friends have amd cards and a lot of them never use steam at all. So although a lot of people do use stream, theres also a fair few (for both sides im sure) that don't use it so even that is not likely showing the whole picture.

Where as this does? :p

Very surprised if AMD don't come out as most popular on this forum though.

they've not put up the AIB Q4 report as of yet, in fact I can't see the overall Q4 report on their own website either, where did you find it?
the total figures for APU's will be a bit misleading as the vast majority of CPU's being sold in to say business are now APU's to reduce system cost, but they aren't being used for gaming

JPR isn't a poll / survey like this one, they use contacts throughout the retail/distribution channel to find out what all the major AIB's and distributors are shipping and selling - as individual retailers tend not to massively stock GPU's they get a somewhat accurate reflection on what is being sold to end users

I can't find it there now either, it was there a couple of weeks ago, i'm sure of it.
I must be going a bit funny :eek:
 
I thought the AMD advantage would be much greater than this, even at an early stage with APUs being included.

Nice to be proved wrong. Good topic ;)
