Here are the Steam stats for June.

The RX 500-series and the GTX 1080 Ti are still missing :(

The GTX 1060 is the new popularity king with 5% of the 236 million (SteamSpy estimate) Steam accounts.

 

The x60 cards have always been the most popular Nvidia cards, except the rare ocasions when the x70 was well priced.

A shame we still don't have numbers from all the cards.

So all the recent vega news continues to be disappointing considering their current Vega gpu is between a 1070 and a 1080. Although granted that this is a workstation series card but man... Unless they got a Titan killer for like the price of a 1070 or something between a 1070/1080. This is gonna be zzz worthy.,.. Cause at this rate, even if AMD undercuts Nvidia's prices of a 1080's current price, Nvidia can cut the price of a 1080.

Amd has struck gold in CPU with Ryzen as intel continues to fumble but now they need to find a way to do something with their GPU division. Although with the amount of bank Nvidia is making with it's entrance into Ai and cars as well it's dominance into GPUs, maybe that task is a bit too much for little old AMD. We shall see though.

Taking back 10.4% of the market in just one quarter is... too good to be good? I mean, Ryzen CPUs are proving to be worth purchasing, but gaining so much ground is very, very surprising.

Vega... well, let's see how the consumer products fare before we judge them a failure (tho I've been saying that they would perform between a 1070 and a 1080 since they were first announced)
