Now that the Radeon RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 powered by Navi, where will AMD Radeon sit in 12 months from now with Steam gamers?

AMD has just launched its new Navi-based Radeon RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 graphics cards (my review here) and then I happened to stumble upon news that the Steam Hardware & Software Survey for June 2019 with some interesting numbers.

In terms of graphics cards used by gamers on Steam, we have a dominating 75.53% owned to NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards while its main competitor in AMD has 14.75% and the integrated GPU competitor (and soon to be discrete GPU competitor) in Intel has 9.58%. When it comes to the most popular graphics card used by Steam gamers we have the GeForce GTX 1060 as #1 with 16% of gamers using the GTX 1060 while the GTX 1050 Ti is owned by 10.6% and GTX 1050 with 6.22%.

AMD's first card on the most-used graphics cards by gamers on Steam is the Radeon RX 580 which comes in at #11 with 1.32% sitting in between the GTX 960M with 1.41% and the GTX 1070 Ti with 1.28%. We won't see these numbers change with Navi in the coming months, but it'll be interesting to see where these numbers will be in 18-24 months from now.
