While that is mostly true, we can't forget the people that buy a product just by brand name, and Nvidia has managed to make its brand so powerful that people just buy its products "because they're Nvidia", without checking what the GPU they're going to buy offers nor even taking into consideration any other alternatives.

For example, people are really going to buy 4060Tis (when they fall a bit in price) and lower models despite the little to almost no performance gain over previous generations because they're from Nvidia and they're going to assume that they'll be the best. And that's a real shame.

There are a lot of PC gamers out there that literally don't know that Radeon exists. Hell, I know people with some PC knowledge who don't know even about Ryzen.

Add to this the fact that most computers sold these days are laptops. Just have a look how many come with an AMD GPU; you'll have a very hard time finding any that have anything else than an NVidia GPU inside if they come with a dGPU.

I just checked on notebooksbiller.de and could find a grand total of 9 laptops with an AMD dGPU, while 17 came with an Intel ARC dGPU. By comparison just the RTX A2000 alone has more models than all the dGPUs of both AMD and Intel combined.

Of course such an overwhelming superiority in numbers mean that much of the general population, which these days mostly buy laptops, have never even encountered a laptop with an AMD dGPU and as a result doesn't have a clue that those exist.
