On steam, less than 1% of players use an nvidia rtx gpu

Every month, Steam conducts an optional survey to gather information about the different types of PC settings its players have. It hasn't been long since AMD launched its new Radeon VII card, and only a few months since Nvidia launched its RTX line, but according to the monthly Steam hardware and software report (as of January 2019), those graphics cards are having slow adoption.

The adoption of the Nvidia RTX series is being very slow

Of course, Nvidia graphics cards still occupy about 74% of all PCs (according to Steam), with 10.5% using Intel graphics chips and 15.3% having AMD graphics. The GTX 1060 remains the most popular, accounting for just under 15% of all reported graphics cards. The GTX 1050 Ti comes in second with 9.3%, and the top 11 graphics cards are all from the GTX series, ahead of Nvidia's disappointing RTX series sales.

Between December 2018 and January 2019, the use of the RTX 2070 increased by 0.16%, bringing the total number of systems with that GPU to 0.33%. The 2070 is the most popular of the three RTX cards; the use of the 2080 was reported in 0.3%, and the 2080 Ti only has a 0.15% share. On the side of the 2080 Ti, it is the one with the worst statistics, which is normal due to its high price.

This does not bode well for the Radeon VII in the next survey to be conducted by Steam, which is suffering from the same drawbacks as the RTX series, the price-performance factor.
