RX 9070 GPU Lineup Fails To Appear In Steam Hardware Survey; Outshined By RTX 50 Series

Expert Verified By

Nvidia Seems To Be Outselling AMD Yet Again!

Story Highlight
  • Nvidia’s new RTX 5000 series graphics cards are starting to appear in Steam’s Hardware Survey.
  • On the other hand, the RX 9070 XT GPUs are still nowhere to be seen in the survey.
  • While AMD offers better performance and value at MSRP, limited supply and inflated prices make Nvidia GPUs a better deal for the time being.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series graphics cards, such as the RTX 5070, 5070 Ti, and the more expensive RTX 5080, are already beginning to appear in the recently released Steam Hardware Survey. However, the same cannot be said for the latest AMD Radeon lineup.

Despite images showing massive stacks of graphics cards that seemed to be in stock before selling out immediately, the Radeon RX 9000 series failed to make a dent in the recent Steam Hardware Survey.

Why it matters: Nvidia traditionally dominates the Steam Hardware Survey. In the past, a not-so-great graphics card like the RTX 4060 was seen at the top of this survey. It seems this trend has remained consistent with the latest GPUs.

Nvidia GPUs continue to dominate the top 12 spots in the survey, while AMD chips with integrated graphics are the first to appear in positions 13 and 14. Real-world cost is one of the issues at play here.

The RTX 5070, 5080, and 5070 Ti have made their way into the survey, but the AMD RX 9070 and 9070 XT are nowhere to be found. Moreover, GPUs like the RX 7900 XT, 7600 XT, and more follow a similar trend.

Although the GeForce RTX 5070 should have cost the same as the Radeon RX 9070 at MSRP, it currently sells for $553, while the cheapest Radeon RX 9070 card available now costs about $664.

On the other hand, the Radeon RX 9070 XT should only cost $50 more than the RTX 5070, but due to limited supply, the most affordable card available is $742. When it comes to real-world pricing, the RTX 5070 is now a better deal, which is reflected in Steam’s survey.

Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see if these GPUs show up in the survey within the next few months.

AMD has certainly been pleased with the reception of the RX 9070 series so far, but it seems the gaming giant has not been able to break Nvidia’s hold on the mainstream market just yet.
