The reason for the Radeon RX 9070 XT's sudden appearance in the latest Steam Hardware & Software Survey could be chalked up to recent updates Valve has made to Steam's GPU reporting - read about that here. And the 9070 XT's immediate rise to become the most popular discrete Radeon GPU on PC is fantastic news for RDNA 4, even if it trails its direct competitor, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. Basically, it's the best showing for a Radeon GPU since the RDNA 2-era.

And with that, the mainstream Radeon RX 9060 XT has also made the cut, now holding more market share than the Radeon RX 7800 XT, the most popular card from the previous RDNA 3 generation. As for the Top 25 PC Gaming GPUs for May 2026, not much has changed aside from RDNA 4 finally getting its due. The GeForce RTX 3060 remains the most popular card among gamers, while the GeForce RTX 5070 continues to cement its position as the card of the current generation.
