- A survey shows that AMD has sold significantly more GPUs than Nvidia in 2025.
- The Blackwell gaming GPUs were released much earlier than AMD’s RDNA 4 lineup but still fell behind.
- As per the survey, AMD’s offerings accounted for over half of all sales, while Nvidia’s GPUs took less than 25% of the market share.
Both AMD and Nvidia have now launched next-generation graphics cards into the market. The latter was the first to do so, launching three GPUs since January, with the RTX 5090 being positioned as gaming’s most powerful GPU to date.
On the other hand, AMD decided to focus on more consumer-friendliness and attempted to counter the prevalent stock shortages. As per a survey, this approach has worked, with AMD shipping twice as many new GPUs as Nvidia this year.
Why it matters: This survey further highlights the gravity of Nvidia’s stock situation. Hardly anyone has been able to secure Blackwell gaming GPUs, let alone at MSRP.
According to a survey from ComputerBase, over 700 people from 4,000+ participants have secured new Nvidia and AMD graphics cards this year.
The survey shows that more than 50% of the sales came from the RX 9070 and 9070 XT. Meanwhile, the RTX 5090, 5080, and 5070 Ti accounted for under 25% of these 700+ GPU sales.
Around 20% of the remaining sales were taken up by older GPUs, but the findings do a good job of showcasing that AMD’s strategy, although not without its drawbacks, has been largely effective.
The most shocking part of this survey is that Nvidia’s Blackwell gaming graphics cards have been available since January 2025. On the other hand, AMD launched its RDNA 4 offerings last week, further highlighting the major divide in supply and availability.
Moving forward, Nvidia and AMD are expected to continue releasing more GPUs. The RTX 5060 Ti and 5060 will bring more affordable Blackwell options to the market, while the RX 9060 XT will likely do the same for RDNA 4.
However, it remains to be seen whether these GPUs will be available in abundance at their advertised MSRPs.
