Nvidia now commands around 92% of the desktop discrete GPU market, while AMD's share declined to approximately 8%, the company's lowest share ever.

That’s what happen when your cards are worse, and also not worth the price you’re asking. Don’t care if the 5070ti is a trillion dollars and the 9070xt is $800, it’s still not worth $800
AMD thought they could be greedy like Nvidia.
RDNA4 didn’t launch until early march, so it won’t be very well represented in this figures. And it’s clearly selling well, given the fact that it’s basically impossible to find a 9070xt below $700 bucks.
I kind of expect that the Q2 and now Q3 numbers will be better, because RDNA4 is a great product when it’s not being scalped through the roof.
If AMD wants market share its simple, hard undercut nvidia, 9070xt should have been a $100 cheaper and had plenty of stuck at that msrp. And they gotta innovate ahead of Nvidia. The fact they don’t give the Radeon division the ryzen treatment is why they are sucking.
Q1 ended 3/31/25, the 9070 XT launch was 3/6/25 so this only includes a few weeks of 9070 XT sales. Hopefully Q2 looks better for AMD, Nvidia at 92% market share is already a practical monopoly if Intel or AMD can’t step up and be a serious competitor prices and performance are only going to continue deteriorating.
Did my part, bought my daughter a 9070xt OC. Performs nearly the same as my 4080S. IMO the 8 pin connectors on the 9070xt negates any premium the Nvidia features brings.
MSRP: $600.
Retail: $750+
Real fucking surprised.
This is why we can’t have nice things. You can’t give one company a monopoly like this, it just means the consumer suffers
Maybe because the real price for the 9070xt has been 800-900 dollars.
its because AMD fucked it up by not making a 32 , 64 GB Cards
promised to make a one card 16 GB
and released multi cards that no one wanted
AMD was warned when the 7000 series was released not to do this again
no one cared
unsurprising imo as they are not fighting for market share, they are trying to make the most money out of ppl who buy them for being “slightly worse, slightly cheaper Nvidia”.
If you were lucky to buy one at launch and have a Micro Center near by like I did, then you were good. If you weren’t then MSRP was a paper launch, and then was gone.
The 9070 and 9070 XT are real contenders at their MSRP price point. At that price point they’re exactly what a lot of PC gamers are looking for, a midrange card at a decent price. At a $200 markup over MSRP then Nvidia, even with their fuckery, is still going to be the default.
I like my RX 9070, it was every bit worth the $550 I paid for it… I wouldn’t have bought it at the $700 they’re wanting now.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
Nah. This sub told me it was a bug in Steam hardware survey that tank AMD numbers. They’re gonna get all the tech YouTubers to expose this conspiracy by Nvidia.
Would be nice if both RX 9070 XT/non-XT weren’t selling 15-20% above MSRP(VAT included), three fucking months after release.
AMD needs to to some heavy investing on the software features side. They’ve proven they have competing hardware but Nvidia takes all the credit when it comes to software (DLSS and such).
I’ve been saying this for like 2 month at this point and everyone told me I was wrong, crazy and leather jacket fanboy. And people always brought up the same crazy conspiracies like valve “not surveying” 9070 users on steam or 9070 actually showing up as 7800xt. The only 2 reasonable explanations I can think of are 1) AMD haven’t made that much stock but the demand is higher than anticipated and AMD hasn’t planned to produce so many chips 2) The demand is not that high.
I gravitate towards the former because prices are still very high meaning people still want to buy them and amd just not caring about selling more cards than they planned.
Still it’s probably too early to tell, maybe AMD will flood the market with msrp cards in Q4 or Q1 2026.
Nvidia – 10% price won’t work. Also, false advertising of MSRP. Customers can’t wait to pay more than MSRP for an actual MSRP card. Said nobody ever. Shocking discovery.
AMD’s stocks are nowhere to be found. 9070 XT’s around me have been sold out for weeks and/or they are way overpriced.
Nvidia would have to stop selling GPU’s for AMD to make any difference.
9070 launch thats been $150+ over MSRP the entire time? Yeah no shit it’s poorly represented.
As long as AMD stays competitive in performance as it has in the last 3 generations I will always buy the AMD card. Nvidia is just too sleazy for me, I can’t support them. Not that AMD is perfect but definitely the lesser of evils.
AMD is not cheaper in performance, sure it got more VRAM but 9070XT costs a tad bit more than 5070 and it performs a tad bit more, but like I built a computer for my friend and put in an NVIDIA card cause I know it’s going to result in much more user-friendly game experience. Just no point going AMD for the regular gamer
LOWER THE PRICE
There, problem solved
This is AMD’s chance to actually gain meaningful marketshare, and they seem to be fumbling again. I don’t get it at all.
not paying 940 usd for 9070 no matter what
Wasn’t this sort of anticipated? Their new architecture didn’t pan out for the 7000 launch, so this was a throwaway generation, as it was for Nvidia.
I would love to give amd some marketshare but the 750 or 800 euros for a 9070xt make it really fucking hard
No high end card, barely any stock, and high MSRP. It was always going to happen… Plus people just go Nvidia because they still think AMD has bad drivers etc.
I mean it makes sense. If you are a casual gamer, a mid range gaming laptop with Nvidia GPUs gives better price per performance. If you are an hardcore enthusiast, AMD doesn’t even try to compete with the top end Nvidia GPUs. They are catering to a weird niche that doesn’t exist

DON’T DISPAIR!!!!! Frank is on it.
I really want to pair the AMD CPU with the AND GPU.
But when I put together my friends’ build, I went with the 5070ti ( to be sold to myself once the 5080S comes out)
What is a amd ?
