I assumed that those were more like RX 6600/6700 GPUs. While anecdotal, both have vastly higher sales on Mindfactory than the 6800/6800XT - though it's also possible that the big sellers simply don't show up there anymore. Still, the 6600/6600XT/6650XT have taken together about a 4:1 sales advantage over all 6800/6800XT models taken together (24k to barely 6k; 14K for the 6700/6700XT/6750XT models), and I don't think that hidden numbers will make up for the difference.

While we're at Mindfactory, the 7900XT is actually cheaper than most 6900XT/6950XT cards, starting out a 989€, and already 1200 sold. The 7900XTX is much more expensive, starting at 1329€ and only 850 sold - though there are also less models, indicating that several have sold out already. At that price difference, the 7900XT is much more compelling than the mere $100 difference of the MSRP.

The 3080 still wins on the sales front with about 1650 sold, and considering the starting price of 1359€ and almost all models are below 1450€. Like the starting price of the 7900XT, these prices are basically MSRP plus VAT, and it doesn't look like either the 3080 nor the 7900XT really sell very well, though their numbers are above what I expected of either of them.

The new survey has RTX 40x0 GPUs for the first time, no big changes otherwise:

That so many people can afford to buy a 4090 is wild.

Thanks, Conina. And be warned, I took the survey yesterday so don't be surprised if the results next month are a bit weird. It was me! XD

Looks like RDNA2 (including the AMD Radeon Graphics bits) have made some steady progress these past few months. Their lower price compared to their NVidia counterparts certainly contributed to the rise.

On the CPU side, it looks like hexacores are quickly dropping now in favor of at least 8 cores, with 10, 14 and 16 also rising quickly. In fact, hexacores are dropping so fast that there's a chance they drop below quadcores again, which are dropping much slower, before octacores or any other core configuration can overtake the hexacores or quadcores.

RTX Ampere is now higher than GTX+RTX Turing:

For a brief moment I confused Ada with Ampere. It wasn't pleasant.

Well, it kind of makes sense, as some users that got high end 2000 series cards upgrade to the newer 4000 cards, while others, seeing the price of the new cards, are taking advantage of Ampere cards retailing for almost MSRP and jumping to those ones in fear of what the Ada mid and low range cards may cost.

Thanks for the update, Conina.

No RDNA3 cards in sight yet?

No RDNA3 cards and no Intel Arc GPUs in the DX12-system-charts yet:

Very strange month, I don't trust these results:

• DX12 GPUs gain almost 4%
• RTX 3060 share more than doubles
• RTX 2060 share almost doubles
• GTX 1060 gains more than 50%
• Windows 11 loses a third of its share
• Linux loses a third of its share
• AMD GPUs lose a third of their share

I'll check again later this month... wouldn't be the first time Valve fixes the results

Yeah, those results are fishy.
