Strange results this month. We'll see what kind of adjustments they pull next month.

Just saw that steam is now tracking the Van Gogh chip in the Steam Deck separately, and it got right up to 0.57% now.

Would be hell of a market share for the Steam Deck already with that result.

So it finally happened: the first RDNA3 GPU in the Steam Stats:

The strange GTX-1660 spike of last month is gone, its share is lower than ever.

RTX Ada is now at 1,91% share, the halo product RTX4090 has reached 0.65%:

And now the strange results:

DX8 share still growing, now over 9% of the Steam systems aren't allocated correctly:

Linux made a jump to 1.96% AND within this Linux share, 42% are Steam Decks? So Steam Deck tripled its share of the total Steam users base (Windows, Linux and Mac) within two months?

Well the new numbers could be possible, maybe the growth was stretched over more months and the reported Steam Deck numbers were too low in the older surveys.

If we go by the last reported "monthly active users" (MAU), it would be around one million Steam Decks in use: 120 million MAUs x 1.96% x 42% = 0,99 million Steam Decks. Total active Steam accounts are probably in the 200 - 300 million area... so 1 - 2 million active Steam Decks don't seem that far fetched.

Also in the hot summer months many PC gamers will pause gaming on their gaming rigs, while I don't see such a pause happening to PC gaming handhelds. Steam Deck were also discounted in the Steam Summer Sale, so a lot of new Deck owners testing their new toy.

What do you think?

Last but not least: a new Nvidia GPU showed up in the Steam hardware survey:

This seems to one of the Geforce Now systems, with about RTX 2060 performance.

Geforce Now has some lower performing rigs for older games not using raytracing or DLSS and some systems with higher performance (the former RTX 3080 subscription and the current RTX 4080 subscription)... but the T10-8 is probably still the majority of systems for their cloud gaming service.

Crazy how a 4090 surpassed 3090 even though 3090 has been out for over 3 years and 4090 less than a year.

Performance of 3080 Ti, 3090 and 3090 Ti were too close together, so their share splitted. Even the much cheaper RTX 3080 was only a few percent slower than a 3090 Ti.

While the performance gap between 4080 and 4090 is huge.

Yea that's true but still, kinda nuts so many people can spend $1600 on a gpu lol

Ah, I was wondering what that T10-8 was supposed to be; thanks for the explanation!

As for the DX8 cards, I'm sure the 7900XTX falls under them because it doesn't show up under DX12/Vulcan cards.  Now what else is hiding in there is pretty much a riddle for the ages by now.

Surprised at the low growth of the 6700XT/6750XT considering it's the best price/performance GPU at the moment.

There are more 4090 users on Steam in less than a year than 6700XT users in over 3 years
