Key points
- AMD’s PC market share has reportedly fallen to 6%, with Nvidia holding the remainder 94% of the market.
- AMD had 12% of the market a year ago.
- Nvidia is the most dominant PC graphics card manufacturer right now, with Intel having been largely pushed out.
Reports indicate that AMD’s PC market share dropped to 6% in the second quarter of 2025, and Nvidia’s market share rose to encompass the remaining 94%. The statistics were revealed by industry analyst Jon Peddie, who claims AMD’s overall AIB market share dropped 2.1% from the last quarter, while Intel’s share stayed at 0.0% and Nvidia’s increased by 2.1%.
A year ago, AMD’s market share was 12%, falling to 8% in the first quarter of 2025 despite the launch of their RDNA 4 GPUs.
A Steam user survey in late August also indicated similar findings, further solidifying Nvidia’s increased dominance in the market. The survey revealed that the RTX 5070 is the most popular current-generation GPU, and that Nvidia’s RTX 4060 and 3060 are the currently most popular GPUs overall. The survey supposedly revealed that AMD’s RDNA 4 cards were not shown at all, despite AMD’s claims that the hardware saw immense demand.
This was stated in an exclusive interview with TechRadar, where AMD Corporate VP and General Manager David McAfee stated, “The biggest thing we are doing quite honestly is ramping supply of Navi 48, very aggressively the demand we saw on day one was really unprecedented and unprecedented across all the price points in the RDNA 4 product portfolio.”
AMD’s prices for RX 9070 and 9070 XT remain high, indicating that demand is still higher than the supply. The lack of supply is sourced by numerous outlets as a logical, potential reason for AMD’s drop in market share. It is worth noting that Nvidia saw a record high of $4.3 billion in gaming revenue, far surpassing that of AMD’s $1.1 billion.
