First GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU has made it onto the Steam Hardware Survey

The GeForce RTX 50 Series is here, and the GeForce RTX 5080 has already made it onto Steam's most popular GPU list.

The GeForce RTX 5080 squeaks in at the bottom of the list ahead of the GeForce RTX 5090. As the more 'affordable' high-end 4K RTX Blackwell option launched at the end of January 2025, it makes sense - mainly because it arrived with an MSRP lower than the previous generation's GeForce RTX 4080.

With the mid-range GeForce RTX 5070 Series and Radeon RX 9070 Series being more recent launches, we should expect to see these show up in the results in the coming months. Elsewhere, there's been some reshuffling, with the GeForce RTX 3060 retaking the crown from the GeForce RTX 4060 and the GeForce RTX 4070 dropping out of the Top 10.

Here's a look at the Top 20 PC gaming GPUs according to Steam. And yes, per usual, it's a sea of green.

In the world of Radeon, things have remained static outside portable RDNA graphics for PC gaming handhelds. AMD's "Custom GPU 0405" and "RADV VANGOGH" for the Steam Deck, when combined, make it one of AMD's most successful PC gaming products. Likewise, Radeon 780M Graphics, which is found in Windows 11 handhelds like the ROG Ally, continues to gain ground in a market currently dominated by AMD.

Overall market share, which includes integrated graphics, sees NVIDIA maintain its dominant stance with a 75.05% share, followed by AMD with 16.87%, and then Intel with 7.74%.
