Steam Survey March 2026: AMD regains shareCPU andGPU !Â
Things are improving on the Red side!
According to the latest hardware survey on Steam, reds are regaining color in the processor and graphics card market. Indeed, in the graphics card sector, after NVIDIA peaked at 84.7% last February, the chameleon lost shares to settle at 72.8%. The drop is significant and mainly benefits AMD, which goes from 10.6% to 18.5%, while Intel also nibbles a few shares, going from 4.5% to 8.2%.
But this only changes as the most used graphics card on the Valve platform remains the RTX 3060 followed by the RTX 4060laptop. Both cards peak at 4.10% and 4.04% respectively while the RTX 4060desktop displays 3.92% shares. On the AMD side, the first most used remains the RX 7800 XT with 1.17% (+0.45%). Otherwise, we find “AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics” at 2.40% followed by “AMD Radeon Graphics” at 1.91% shares. This month, the RTX 5070 has a 2.87% share compared to 9.42% last month.

Again, the most popular models are the CPU equipped with six hearts which represent 27.77%, but this percentage is decreasing. Indeed, the modelsquad-core showed the strongest growth this month with a +5.37% share in March. They represent 13.59% of CPU installed running on Steam. In opposition, the eight-core models are losing ground: -1.14% and now represent 27.16% of CPU rotating on the platform… Shoulder to shoulder with the CPU à 6 cÅ“urs.
