It’s no secret that Nvidia practically owns the dedicated graphics card space. Both AMD and Intel continue to provide alternative paths to consumers but neither have majorly threatened this dominance. The most recent market analysis indicates this remains the case, with Team Green actually compounding its lead.
According to consultancy firm Jon Peddie Research, Nvidia controls an enormous 92% of the AIB (Add In Board) GPU market, as of Q1 2025. This is up from the company’s 84% share in Q4 2024, undoubtedly driven by the launch of new GeForce RTX 50 Series cards, from RTX 5090 to RTX 5070.
This leaves just 8% for AMD and Intel and one comes out decidedly better than the other. Jon Peddie states that Radeon makes up practically all the remaining share. Sitting at 8% marks a fall from its 15% share of the pie in Q4 2024. This data may not be wholly illustrative of RX 9070 XT and RX 9070‘s influence given their relatively late launch in the quarter.
Intel meanwhile sits on a dismally low 0%, down from 1% the previous quarter. Of course, this doesn’t mean that Arc has no presence in the market but that its share is so low that it effectively rounds down to 0%. As much as Arc B580 seemed a signal that Team Blue’s GPU fortunes were turning around, it seems consumers continue to gravitate to more reliable, familiar faces.
Since Q1 2025, Nvidia has launched two new graphics card to market, namely RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060, while AMD recently released RX 9060 XT. All three of these pixel pushers are more affordable than their aforementioned siblings, and should have a greater influence on market share moving forward. We’ll need to wait for a Q2 2025 analysis to know for sure which will take some time to put together.
Preliminary results from the Steam Hardware Survey, though, suggest Nvidia will continue to enjoy its lead. According to May 2025 data, 0.20% of the platform’s users are rocking an RTX 5060 Ti. By contrast, there’s nary a sign of RX 9070 XT or RX 9070. However, the two RDNA 4 GPUs could have fallen into the non-descript ‘AMD Radeon Graphics’ and ‘AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics’ entries which account for 2.17% and 2.00%, respectively.
For the moment, all major players have fired off every graphics card they’ve announced. However, rumours suggest that Nvidia could have an RTX 5050 up its sleeve in the near-future, while it simultaneously works on RTX 5080 Super and 5070 Super refreshes for later this year. AMD is allegedly busying itself with an RX 9080 XT as Intel apparently hopes to level up Battlemage with Arc B770.
The team and I will be keeping ears to the ground for the latest information on all things graphics cards in the meantime. Make sure to follow Club386 on Google News so you don’t miss a single whisper.
