The July update of the Steam Hardware Survey revealed several details about the sales of the various manufacturers, one of which was that Nvidia is outperforming AMD by a wide margin when comparing the two companies' previous generations: The greens sold 11 GeForce RTX 3000 GPUs for every Radeon RX 6000 GPU that the reds sold, resulting in a ratio of 11 to 1.

According to the survey results, the GeForce RTX 3070 was Nvidia's best-selling graphics card, and it is currently being used by 1.52 percent of Steam users. RTX 3080 with 0.88 percent, RTX 3060 with 0.64 percent, RTX 3060 Ti with 0.42 percent, and finally, the RTX 3090 with 0.38 percent are the next best performing graphics cards in this category. In total, 3.88 percent of Steam users have a GeForce RTX 3000 graphics card installed on their computer.

Model	Percentage
GeForce RTX 3090	0,38%
GeForce RTX 3080	0,88%
GeForce RTX 3070	1,56%
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti	0,42%
GeForce RTX 3060	0,64%

AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT	0,08%
AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT	0,1%
AMD Radeon RX 6800	0,05%
AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT	0,12%

On the AMD side, the Radeon RX 6700 XT was the most widely used RX 6000 graphics card, accounting for 0.12 percent of total usage. With 0.1 percent, the RX 6800 XT is the next best-selling model, followed by 0.08 percent for the RX 6900 XT and finally 0.05 percent for the RX 6800. In total, 0.35 percent of Steam users have a Radeon RX 6000 graphics card, which means that they do not even come close to matching the percentage of RTX 3090 owners. Also, by dividing the percentages, we can see that Nvidia sold approximately 11 RTX 3000 GPUs for every RX 6000 GPU that AMD sold, which is insane given the competition.

In the overall ranking, the GTX 1060 continues to be the most popular graphics card, with 7.95 percent of users opting for it. The top 10 graphics cards are all green, indicating that Nvidia continues to be the leader in the gaming graphics market and will likely remain so for some time. The weather is nice. The release of a Ryzen-based GPU will be interesting to watch, although it appears that this will not be the case for at least several generations to come.

I think this comes down to supply since everything they make is sold really I mean if AMD was capable of making the same amount of cards as nvidia in this current market we would see a 1-1 in terms of sales for AMD and Nvidia cards. The demand is there Nvidia just has far more production with Samsung than AMD does with tsmc.

Many rx6 series cards in stock here, but noone wants them. It has been in stock for weeks... https://www.proshop.no/?pre=0&s=Rx6&inv=1

Ok so there is more 3090 users than the whole rx6000 series. I think steam survey is on crack.

not really
it's availability that matters
e.g. if I hit "6800" search term into my shopping browser there are 14 results (models,not units) altogether available for both 6800 and 6800xt
I hit 3090 and there are 30 entries
3090 has been the best in terms of availability this gen actually.so not only they outsold them in units,they also got more for each unit they sold in return.amd cards are sold at slim margins.
another thing is msrp and lhr
look at partner versions of 6800/xt,they were usually priced much higher than 3080/ti
hub already talked about it,amd set msrp unrealistically low and partners would have made colse to no money if they adjusted to amd's msrp.6800xt is 5600pln here,3080ti is 6600pln.So 2x theoretical msrp is 17% realistically due to 3080ti being lhr.
3070ti lhr is pretty much same price as 6700xt here.

and fanboys will again say it's "the mindshare"

amd preferred to see nvidia fail this gen rather than make sure their own product are available.so much clickbait techtuber commentary about how nvidia is evil,and in the end amd wasn't able to supply half as many units to gamers as nvidia.
they got outsold as badly as ever,maybe worse.and it serves them right.

Overpriced as ever and miners targets rtx series still therefore high demand. It has nothing to do with steam survey which is gaebage.

Probably because AMD supply is constrained with TSMC, Nvidia using Samsung so aren't directly fighting for supply against AMD/Apple an everyone else on TSMC 5nm process.

No wonder they remain double MSRP, too many cows on the planet.
