Steam survey shows AMD GPUs at a new high as Windows 11 adoption keeps rising

Valve's May 2026 Steam Hardware Survey shows AMD graphics cards climbing to 19.1% of surveyed systems, up from 16.4% at the start of 2025. Nvidia still holds 72% of the GPU share, while Intel sits at 8%. The newest AMD cards to appear in the survey are the RX 9070 XT and RX 9060 XT, charting for the first time at 1.33% and 0.72% respectively. digitalfoundry.net

The same survey points to continued AMD gains on the CPU side as well, with AMD now at 46% versus Intel's 54%. That marks an eight-point swing since the start of 2025, when the split was 38% to 62%. digitalfoundry.net

Steam's hardware trends land alongside broader Steam news this week, including fresh signs that the Steam Frame is moving through US warehouse shipping and a limited-time Steam demo for Platonica Space. Separately, Valve is also facing a new Dutch consumer lawsuit over alleged Steam pricing practices. pcgamer.com automaton-media.com tweaktown.com
