What are the graphics cards favorites of PC gamers? We will answer this question today. It is also an opportunity to see that the most expensive models are clearly not popular!
Several fairly obvious reasons explain this lack of love for high-end GPUs.
And the winners are…
On September 20, NVIDIA lifted the veil on its new RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 graphics cards. GPUs with impressive technical specifications that will be compatible with DLSS 3 technology. players. Because according to the latest figures from Steam, users tend to favor affordable or mid-range cards.
In the top 10 most used GPUs in recent weeks, eight come from NVIDIA. The winner is the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (for laptops). It is followed in order by the GTX 1060, RTX 3050, RTX 3060 and GTX 1660. Note, however, that the first high-end graphics card is only found in 14e ranking position. This is the RTX 3070 Ti. Very high-end models are represented in the top 30 only by the RTX 3080 Ti, which is at 29e square.
A warning for NVIDIA?
Thus, it is rather obvious that gamers prefer to turn to fairly affordable GPUs. However, the American firm exclusively addressed the wealthiest customers last month. Indeed, the RTX 4000 range is currently devoid of accessible editions for ordinary mortals. We have not had any information about hypothetical RTX 4060 or RTX 4070. A rather questionable strategy since recent and extremely expensive cards do not attract crowds.
This can be explained quite logically by supply difficulties. The shortage is indeed still not over. In addition, the prices are also very dissuasive. Count for example 1949 euros for an RTX 4090… Enough to calm the ardor of the wealthiest players. It remains to be seen whether NVIDIA will complete its range in the coming months.
