Some of those numbers don't make sense.

The overall results aren't that surprising, 71% Nvidia vs 28% AMD shows how Nvidia still dominates the market but, if true, it's a much better result than the 90 vs 10 numbers that JPR reports.

But then you look at the cards listed and some things start to look strange, like the 5060 selling only slightly better than the 5080 (is the former selling like crap or the second selling like hotcakes?), with the 3060 selling better than those two (maybe the 12GB make it more enticing to some users than the 5060 despite the performance difference).

And then, on the AMD side, the second best selling card after the 9070XT is... the 7600XT? Really? And the 9060XTs are the 5th best selling AMD card? Was supply that bad in the US or the prices so outrageous?

Anyway, I hope we get another article like this one next month, so we can compare it and see if there's any trend going on.

Even worse I found was that the next best-selling card after the 7600XT was the GT 1030, the crappiest of crap cards there is, at 1300 units sold. Seriously, who buys this crap? 😡

*Pats my Core 2 Quad PC with Geforce 1030 GDDR* He didn't mean it.

Reason for the 1030 having probably inflated sales numbers is due to the plethora of single slot, half height, PCI-E only powered (30watt) cards that can fit into slim workstation PC's for just a hundred bucks off ebay.

Perfect for Minecraft/Fortnite or whatever other esports titles are out today.

There needs to be a refresh of that, which the Radeon RX6400 provides, but due to it's castrated PCI-E lanes, isn't really appealing for those kinds of rigs anyway.

Sadly the Geforce GTX 1030 is still one of the best 30w or less GPU's you can get, almost 10 years after release... With the only competition being the Radeon RX 6300... Which was OEM only.
