The latest Steam Hardware Survey is here, and there are a lot of interesting insights into the consumer GPU market. While Nvidia makes some of the best graphics cards for laptops, it appears that only two of its RTX 40-series GPUs are actually popular among gamers.
Recommended Videos Even though the budget-friendly laptops made it onto the list, they’re not there in any great numbers. Only 0.20% of all survey participants used a laptop with an RTX 4050, which marks a 0.05% increase from the previous survey; the RTX 4060M fares a bit better with a 0.90% share. The RTX 3060 remains the winner among laptop cards, with an estimated 3.63% of users.
Nvidia’s desktop range fares a little better, with most GPUs already being represented in the survey. The winner is a bit surprising — it’s the RTX 4070 Ti, which is a GPU that failed to impress us for the price that it launched with. However, seeing as it’s been around for a while now and it is much more affordable than the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090, it’s possible that gamers just defaulted to it regardless of its less-than-stellar performance per dollar.
