NVIDIA GPU market domination hits almost 100%, AMD dwindles, Intel non-existent
NVIDIA is far and away dominating the discrete GPU market with new figures indicating Team Green controls at least 94% of the market.
Who the hell keeps buying nvidia? Stop it.
It’s the fucking AI tech bros
Microsoft.
Microsoft is buying them for AI.
From what I understand, chatGPT is running on azure servers.
The same people buying Intel and Microsoft.
Nvidia is the only real option for AI work. Before Trump lifted the really restrictive ban on GPUs to china they had to smuggle in GPUs from the US, and if you're Joe Schmo the only GPUs you can really buy are gaming ones. That's why the 5090 has been selling so well despite it being 2k and not all that much better than the 4090 in gaming.
Also AMD has no high end GPUs, and Intel barely has a mid range GPU.
This suggests AMD has comparable GPUs, in some cases better, some cases worse. People seeking diminishing return gains will never be happy. https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-vs-amd/
Meanwhile framework's new AMD offering has nvidia slop in it. Just why. We want AMD. Give us AMD.
They did. There's just no new amd mobile gpus. Like I think they only have 100 watt tdp or Max cooling to work with and the 7700S is the fastest amd mobile gpu currently.
If amd makes a new mobile gpu, framework will probably make it into a module.
They need dlss otherwise the triple a games they love so much wont reach 30fps!!
The vast majority of consumers do not watch or read reviews. They walk into a Best Buy or whatever retailer and grab the box that says GeForce that has the biggest number within their budget. LTT even did a breakdown at some point that showed how even their most watched reviews have little to no impact on sales numbers. Nvidia has the mind share. In a lot of people's minds GeForce = Graphics. And I say all that as someone who is currently on a Radeon 7900XTX. I'd be sad to see AMD and Intel quit the dGPU space, but I wouldn't be surprised.
I do local ai stuff and i get more support with nvidia cuda, and you usually get exclusive gaming features first on nvidia like dlss, rtx, and voice
I wish they shipped with more vram though
I will never get another AMD card after my first one just sucked ass and didn't ever work right.
I wanted to try a Intel card but I wasn't even sure if I could find linux drivers for it because they weren't on the site for download and I couldn't find anything specifying if their newer cards even worked on linux.
So yeah, Nvidia is the only viable company for me to buy a graphics card from
That kind of comment always feels a bit weird to me; are you basing AMD's worth as a GPU manufacturer on that one bad experience? It could just as well have been the same on an Nvidia chip, would you be pro-AMD in that case?
On the Intel part, I'm not up to date but historically Intel has been very good about developing drivers for Linux, and most of the time they are actually included in the kernel (hence no download necessary).
AMD seems to be doing fine, Nvidia just doing finer. If this was 10 years ago, it'd be a lot more concerning but now AMD has a healthy home and server CPU business and GPU server business and they're the standard for handheld PCs. Along with consoles, that'll keep FSR relevant and their server stuff will keep funding for UDNA. Samsung uses AMD GPUs for their Exynos chips and that sounds like it may make it's flagship return with the next Galaxy phones. They're not drowning
Ehh, 5% market share is not fine.
AMD’s server GPU division is not fine, either, so don’t bet on that saving them.
AMD/Intel graphics divisions need R&D money from sales to keep up, and if this keeps up, they’re gonna drop out of dGPUs and stick to integrated graphics (which Intel is already at extremely severe risk of doing).
IMO there’s zero reason to buy an nvidia gpu if there’s a similarly performing amd card because the price will just be better.
„The Market” is not a good measure. Hell, its not even a measure at all. No consumer is able to pull any good info from this article.
Its the equivalent of „How much money has been spent of products by company xy”, completely disregarding if the products sold are even competing with each other, let alone if the production of one company is even trying to sell at that scale
Now regarding the article: they are not differentiating between enterprise and personal grade products. Of course Intel is non existent in Enterprise GPU sales, because they don't even sell fucking Enterprise GPUs. Same with amd.
This is like comparing a local steel working company with weckerle machines who mostly makes industry Make-up equipment (out of steel) and saying that Weckerle dominates the Market
Or like saying „Gamers Beware: Pre-built PCs are dominating the market”, then showing a study about „ Computing devices”, and showing that the 2 main sources are Enterprise buying bulk and NUCs, both of which have nothing to do with what the article is implying in the first place, since, and say this with me
Y'all have pre-built phones? And even laptops? Or car computers??
\
Weirdos.
/s
But def, this type of info is at best for the investors (and even then just unstructured info about market shares), not consumers.
Intel cards are awesome in a homeserver for media transcoding. Super cheap, super capable, power saving compared to other cards with the features. And although Intel has become a shitty company, I'd really like to see more competition on the gpu market
TIL there's a lot of people who don't know what a dGPU is in here
Thanks for explaining
I don’t get this.
Well, if this includes laptops, I get that. Just try to find a dGPU laptop with AMD or Arc these days.
…But in desktops, everyone seems to complain about Nvidia pricing, yet no one is touching Battlemage or the 9000 series? Why? For gaming specifically, they seem pretty great in their price brackets.
Maybe prebuilts are overshadowing that too?

Its always been this way: they want AMD and Intel to compete so Nvidia gets cheaper, not that they will ever buy AMD or Intel. Gamers seem to be the laziest, most easily influenced consumer sector ever.
People who say buy Intel and amd probably either did or will when they upgrade, which is probably not anytime soon with the way everything seems to be going.
That one stung XD. I went with an AMD GPU in 2023 after only owning Nvidia for decades. I went with AMD because I was not satisfied with the amount of Vram Nvidia offers and I did not want burning power connectors. Overall it's stable and works great. There are some bugs here and there, but zero regrets.
I’m doing my part. I picked up an Arc B580.
We've come to a point where PC gaming is so mainstream that the average PC gamer likely doesn't even know that AMD makes GPUs. They'll just complain about the prices and then pay for Nvidia directly or indirectly via prebuilts.
I buy this.
And I can’t really blame people for not diving into components and wanting stuff to just… Work.
No one (on average) knows their graphics card off the top of their head.
I know it's not indicative of the industry as a whole, but the Steam hardware survey has Nvidia at 75%. So while they're still selling strong, as others have indicated, I'm not confident they're getting used for gaming.
Everyone and their manager wants to play with LLMs and and and Intel still don’t have a real alternative to CUDA and so are much less popular for compute applications.
That is concerning
GTX 1080 Ti strong here lol
💪💎💪
Rocking an R9 280 atm 👍
I only upgraded from my 380 this year
Still plenty of fun to be had with new GOG mods, etc. :)
AMD needs better answers on the HPC software side.
They need dGPUs worth buying for HPC, other than servers that cost more than a house, so devs will actually target them.
AMD needs to fix their software.
I had an AMD GPU last year for a couple weeks, but their software barely works. The overlay didn't scale properly on a 4k screen and cut off half the info, and wouldn't even show up at all most of the time, 'ReLive' with instant replay enabled caused a performance hit with stuttering in high FPS games...
Maybe they have it now, but I also couldn't find a way to enable HDR on older games like Nvidia has.
I think Nvidia has better marketing. I never really hear anything about AMD cards, where I would I instead hear about Nvidia.
Just saw a "leak video" that 9070 is outselling 5070, and so 5070 and 5080 supers are being released very soon.
If Intel/AMD provides an LLM capable card, by the time I get around to making a big boy server, then that's what I'll get. Ideally Intel for the sweet AV1 encoding and Quick sync. Then again, if the card runs LLMs, then transcodes won't be a problem. Cuda looks nice, but fuck Nvidia, I'll go without.
Don't look at me, I'm an Android gamer these days, and my home lab runs on integrated Intel graphics.
Maybe one day I'll build a gaming rig, but mine's so old now (gtx970) that I'm pretty much starting from scratch. I can't justify the expense to make a rig from nothing when my Retroid pocket is >£300 and I can play most everything PS2/Gamecube and before.
AMDs are already LLM capable.
