Laptop RTX 4060 Has Taken Over As The Most Popular GPU On Steam

Expert Verified By

AMD Processors Also Account For Over 40% Users!

Story Highlight
  • The laptop RTX 4060 is now the most popular Steam GPU based on the September survey.
  • Previously, the spots were held by the full-sized RTX 4060 and 3060 for an extended period.
  • AMD has also seen a big rise in its user base, with over 40% Steam users now.

For the longest time, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 was the most popular GPU on Steam, until it was taken over by the RTX 4060 a few months ago. Now, just a couple of months later, that has been dethroned by a mobile GPU. 

According to the Steam Hardware Survey, the Nvidia RTX 4060 Laptop GPU has surpassed the Nvidia RTX 4060 as the most popular GPU. This is the first time in a while that a mobile graphics card has surpassed the popularity of its full-sized counterpart. 

Why it matters: Gaming laptops are generally considered a bad idea for gaming, but they have seen lots of improvements with previous generations, now making them a good deal, especially for those who are on the go. 

Steam Popular GPUs
The laptop RTX 4060 is now the most used GPU on Steam.

According to Steam’s survey, the laptop RTX 4060 is the most popular GPU, followed by the RTX 3060, which, at this point, is over four years old and still going strong, mainly because of its 12GB VRAM, which its follow-ups lack. 

While 8GB VRAM is now considered less for gaming, it is still huge on Steam. This makes sense as the RTX 4060 is an 8GB GPU. A primary reason for its popularity is that the newer laptop GPUs aren’t as good a deal. 

AMD has increased its market share in the Steam Hardware Survey.

Even the latest RTX 5070 laptops come with 8GB of VRAM, which seems pointless for a device that costs significantly more than $1000, while RTX 4060 laptops are available at great prices, making them a great deal. 

Moreover, AMD now holds a significant processor share as well. While Intel remains in the lead, Team Red now holds over 40% of the Steam user base’s share, the highest it has ever been, hinting at potential problems for Intel.
