Steve from Gamers Nexus asked a "major motherboard manufacturer" about 2 years ago what proportion of their sales was in the DIY / enthusiast space. They said about 10-15%, depending on whether you did it by revenue or volume. In decreasing order, their largest sales were laptops, desktop OEMs (e.g Dell office PCs), embedded / industrial, pre-builds, DIY / enthusiast, and finally servers. This is just to show how unrepresentative the DIY market is - and also explains why (for example) AMD has been dominating the DIY space in CPUs, but their overall sales are still way behind Intel

Your analysis makes sense to me, but I would add the factor of NVIDIA sells much better in different markets and AMD almost only sells well on USA. Here in Brazil absolutely all my friends that play on PC use NVIDIA and they are more than 20 people. The only AMD GPUs that sells really well here are chinese imported refurbished cards like RX 580 or RX 6600, because they are really cheap. The majority of AMD cards cost way to much here, because they are imported in lower quantities while those from NVIDIA are imported in greater quantities and therefore cost less. To use my case as an example, when I went to buy a new card, the RTX 4070 Ti cost me R$5,000.00, while an RX 7900 XT was costing R$5,500.00, so for me it didn't make any sense to buy the AMD card. Nowadays prices are a little different, but they are still not like in the USA, where AMD costs much less than NVIDIA.

@luisgustavodossantosrodrig2005 "nowadays prices are a little different..." The AMD cards are getting cheaper now because they don't sell and even than still cost too much. I searched for a RTX 4070 Ti (not super) and found it for less than 4,8k reais.

People like to trash Nvidia for anything and everything, and be seen as supporting an "underdog", but when asked to put their money where their months are, they buy Nvidia, and that's not without reason. Nvidia has the better hardware and feature set in general, nobody in their right mind would pick an AMD GPU right now unless they can get it heavily discounted over the Nvidia counterpart. So they buy Nvidia and vote AMD like hypocrites, and inflate those AMD numbers in "random" polls. Where they can't manipulate the results easily, would be things like the Steam survey, where they would be caught actually using an Nvidia GPU and not an AMD GPU like they claim they were in those easily manipulated polls.

[@wfb.subtraktor311]

Nvidia having a better feature set is not true once you look at it with nuance and consider more than the first 12-16 months after launch. Nvidia has so far not enabled new features on older generations, where AMD has. In fact, most features that are useful for a 20-series rtx card in 2024 come from AMD, who are allowing these features ro run on any card. Secondly, AMDs windows drivers surpassed Nvidias sometime in 2020 for stability and ease of use, most notably in having built in overclocking and not actually eating up insane amounts of system resources. Don't even get me started about Nvidia vs AMD on Linux. If you buy Nvidia, you are basically stuck with Microsoft spying on you. The one advantage over AMD that Nvidia has is Raytracing, but Raytracing doesn't actually deliver playable performance below the 700$ mark, which means for most gamers it is a non-feature. Nvidia is like Apple, except there isn't really a Samsung. AMD is more like some obscure artisan phone brand which most normal people don't even know exists.

You have cause and effect reversed. If AMD GPUs were in demand it would be easy to find them in Laptops.

@@Wobbothe3rd It took quite a bit of time after AMD took the gaming crown in CPUs before prebuilt brands routinely had AMD offerings. Laptops are even more integrated, so manufacturers want to be absolutely sure they can pitch them. And no, in the PC space it's not demand that drives supply as 95% of consumer sales are "Hello Mr Salesman. I have this much money and I need a laptop for school/gaming/whatever. What would you recommend". And Mr Salesman will always recommend what makes the store the best margin.

I had 750ti till this year but never had the steam survey, I upgraded to 5600xt and got the survey, so does it count as I am a 750ti & a rx 5600xt user? How does it work. And yes I agree with your explanation. Few years back, I wouldn't have thought about going amd but it's about the price for me where I live, 1650 is more expensive than 5600xt so that sums up for it I guess...

My first pc build last week went with the 7900xt so far so good
