Let's turn it into clear gamer uses only steam and or Nvidia to be satisfied. 95%. Intel plus Nvidia 80%.

If you're a top Gamer with i9-9900KS and RTX 2080 Super right now has no PC Gaming competition.

The 9900K(S) is the only Intel CPU that makes any sense atm though, for any other price brackets or use cases I'd go AMD nowadays. That being said, I'd love to see more detailed stats. How many of those intel CPU's are people for whom their 6700/7700/8700 K's are still sufficient.

The wccf tech comments section is so toxic I'd not even read it at work or with children present. How anyone can take a survey from the people who write those comments seriously I don't know.

JPR is less credible than Steam hardware survey. The truth is most of gamers have 4+ yo GPUs.

What the hell are you talking about?? Raytracing is fantastic by the way if you owned a 2080 you would know! . .. The RTX 2080 was launched August 20 2018 @Gamescom 2018 and the RTX 2080 Super was launched August 20 2019 @Gamescom 2019 which is one year later vs Radeon 7 launched in February 2019 and discontinued in August 6 months later!... . Who is getting screwed? Everyone that bought a RTX 2080 has no competition for the last 30 months+ so far .. RTX 2080 woops both Radeon 7 and 5700 XT almost in everything lol The watered down TU104 right now RTX 2070 Super is fighting AMD top card 5700 XT for 6 months. . As for the fully unlocked TU104 the RTX 2080 Super has zero competition!! .. . And we haven't even talked about the even more powerful TU102 RTX 2080Ti and RTX Titan... And TU100 above that lmao ... AMD is weak & pathetic and two years behind Nvidia in GPU technology.... Just remember Nvidia involved the GPU. .. Just as Intel invented the x86 64 If you're a top Gamer with i9-9900KS and RTX 2080 Super right now has no PC Gaming competition.

You don't know who your talking to my friend and no idea what are you talking about ... Raytracing is a performance killer in in its current state (I have an 2080TI btw) and the effect is meh most of the times. In cod mw I can barely spot it and when I do I get like 30-40% performance loss ... Maybe the next gen from nvidia will make it usable for us but mind my words not this generation. I bought the 2080TI for pure raw performance and I never ever turn Raytracing because I simply dont want to take that huge performance hit. I prefer to game with it at 4K close to 60fps and higher. Regarding your silly username that clearly states your "toxic" behaviour I would recommend you correct it and don't talk to the Undying like that ... this guy made the tool your overclock your glourious 2080 NON TI with ... so measure your words.

THE THREE REASONS TO BUY RADEON CARDS: 1. Your first gaming PC came with one and you decided to stick with what you're used to. It's not your fault, you just don't know any better. 2. You were somehow convinced to buy one and now you're going to enthuse about how great it is, in an attempt to assuage the sting from your poor decision. 3. You had a nasty experience with an GeForce card (it's been known to happen, rarely) and you buy Radeons just to spite Nvidia. Go ahead and rip away, AMD boys! (side note: I like AMD CPUs just fine, especially when they beat Intel, but you'll NEVER sell me on Radeon cards).

There is at least one more reason: 4. You simply want to play current games at +60 fps, at 1080p, "high", and don't wish to spend more than $200 USD on a graphics card.

My last nvidia gpu was the legend 8800GT and after that all Radeons. That shows something. Cards are great, aged better than their countparts, 5870, 7950, R9 280X, RX580. We are witnessing all the shady practices they've been doing all these years and people just dont care, meh. I would rather buy an Intel gpu.

Lol you're saying Intel is less shady than Nvidia? All these companies are shady. People just like to give passes to AMD because they are the underdog.

We don't know dedicated gpu department yet. In Raja Koduri we trust.

Well Nvidia gpus also aged well, Nvidia needed to release the new 2070S at 2019 to catch a used 1080ti's price performance ratio. The same happened with 980ti and 1070ti which was true price performance replacement if secondhand.

They are all shady but nvidia takes the cake.

Strange i literally don't know anyone with a RTX card. Nobody i play with or know in real life own one. My sample size is probably around 20 though and mostly Canadians so ... most people i know own a nVidia card but did not upgrade to RTX because of the insane price in Canada.

AMD is the real slim shady. "Please stand up"

Stormyandcold:

I don't know of any PC gamers in real life who don't use Steam. Plus units sold means nothing due to a lot of cards being bought by miners. We're talking about gamers here, not gamers+miners+researchers+etc etc etc.

Correct me if wrong but Steam stats are based on their survey right. Then if it is the case it is not accurate cause they survey me maybe twice a year at most. I don't think i've been surveyed since i switched to AMD from Intel/nVidia.

THE THREE REASONS TO BUY RADEON CARDS: 1. Your first gaming PC came with one and you decided to stick with what you're used to. It's not your fault, you just don't know any better. My first PC came with an ATI card. An ATI 3D Expression+ so i guess i fit in this category ... 2. You were somehow convinced to buy one and now you're going to enthuse about how great it is, in an attempt to assuage the sting from your poor decision. As a owner of a 5700XT for the last 2 months i'm perfectly happy with my decision to not overpay (pay the RTX taxe) for what basically is a mid range card in my book. 3. You had a nasty experience with an GeForce card (it's been known to happen, rarely) and you buy Radeons just to spite Nvidia. Outside of my 1070 aging poorly my experience with nVidia has been very positive for the last 15 years of owning only nVidia cards. Considering the price i paid for the 1070 (far lower than the price of a 2070) i did not expect it to age as well as a 1080 anyway so it would not be a problem if the price of a 2070 would be the price of a 1070 + inflation which it is not not even close. Go ahead and rip away, AMD boys! (side note: I like AMD CPUs just fine, especially when they beat Intel, but you'll NEVER sell me on Radeon cards).

Here's another reason. https://www.newegg.ca/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-2070-super-gv-n207sgaming-oc-8gd/p/N82E16814932212?Description=RTX 2070&cm_re=RTX_2070-_-14-932-212-_-Product https://www.newegg.ca/gigabyte-radeon-rx-5700-xt-gv-r57xtgaming-oc-8gd/p/N82E16814932208?Description=5700XT&cm_re=5700XT-_-14-932-208-_-Product

All the companies have done shady shit over the years but it's especially noticeable from Intel and Nvidia simply due to their massive reach. But yeah, none of their hands are clean. ALL have doctored drivers to perform better on benchmarks and ALL have made false claims about the power of their products. But ATI/Radeon I just loathe with a special passion, because their cards are so weird and backward and awful. Even when they outperform a similarly priced GeForce, I'll take the GeForce. Call me a fanboy, 'cause I guess I am. I've owned 4 Radeon cards in my life and each and every one of them have disappointed. Radeon is like sugar-free products. You probably bought one 'cause you couldn't afford or didn't want to pay for a GeForce card and now you're going to have to try to convince everyone how great it really is, just like someone cutting out sugar because their doctor said they'd die if they didn't. Now they have to eat sugar-free snacks and will go out of their way to try to convince everyone that they taste just like the real thing, when everyone knows there's still that weird aftertaste. Radeon is an Nvidia substitute with a weird aftertaste lol P.S. It's ok for you Radeon guys to rip me up, honestly I'm deriving way too much glee ripping on them hehe

sverek:

Novidia forcing RTX agenda is like M$ forcing Win10.

Forcing? What are you talking about? Nobody is forcing you to buy anything. If you don't like it, buy AMD or wait for Intel's GPU. Same goes for windows 10. Stick with 7 or 8. Of course eventually they'll stop supporting those OS's but no rational person would expect them to support them forever.

It's accurate enough to give a general view of market share. They'd have to be an unprecedented increase in AMD users for the results to be viewed as inaccurate. Also, since the results are presented as a percentage %, how much do you honestly think you would've contributed to the stats? Lets get real here.

no it isn't.
