According to graphics card sales data up to mid-March, AMD's dominance is evident. Since the release of the GeForce RTX series 50, NVIDIA has faced significant challenges despite having strong performance, especially with DLSS 4, but they have struggled with availability.
While AMD's situation isn't perfect, the availability and stock levels of the Radeon RX 9000 line are vastly superior to NVIDIA's offerings, leading to obvious consequences. A comprehensive survey from German site ComputerBase highlights AMD's strong position amidst the anticipated launch of new models, although it's noted that their findings only account for sales up to mid-March and exclude the recent GeForce RTX 5070.
Strikingly, while NVIDIA typically dominates gamer hardware surveys on platforms like Steam, the current figures reveal a reversal, with the Radeon RX 9070 XT capturing 43.5% of sales and the RX 9070 at 13.9%. In summary, AMD commands approximately 71% of the market share for new generation cards, leaving NVIDIA with only 29%. This impressive lead raises questions about how quickly NVIDIA can replenish its stock and maintain pricing integrity.
