Steam Hardware Stats December 2018

INTEL, AMD, NVIDIA and Microsoft Steam Stats - information for DECEMBER 2018


So in the last 2 years AMD have been on a rebound and I have been keeping an eye on information regarding this change in power. The changes are filtering through to gamers for the primary CPU's as seen using the Steam Hardware survey. Obviously this isn't all users and the ones that have participated have shown the trend anyway.




Main CPU Vendor 


The December 2018 stats (finalised and published) for Windows system on processor vendor show a 0.37% change from Intel to AMD bringing the CPU share up to 17.58%.


Windows Operating System

Sadly the retrospective statistic I keep an eye on is the Windows OS share change. Windows 7 is still losing users but there's some interesting stuff here.


Windows 7 (not classed as 64 bit) has gained 0.07% share but 64 bit has lost 0.42% almost entirely moving to Windows 10. Windows 8 has lost its resurgence of the previous month (possibly the worst OS idea Microsoft have had since Vista) decreasing the total share by 0.06%.

Obviously these figures are skewed as this may be people who rarely game or log in with alternative accounts. Its also possible that to play some games, some users are forced to boot to an old operating system just to play them.

Graphics

The final stat I keep an eye on is the amount of graphics card users there are of which manufacturer and I try to ignore overspecced systems in this list. (i.e. GTX 1080 ti etc)

The MAJORITY of gamers are using NVIDIA cards which isn't surprising as AMD, even pound for pound, cant match them yet. Note yet is in italics here. There are some major shifts coming from AMD in the GPU department in this upcoming year so keep a look out on that. So the most popular graphics card for gamers is the GTX 1060 at 15.76% of the total share, but with a 0.96% increase in use. Notably the largest increase is the same card, the GTX 1060 which is a fair share of the Windows gamers market.

Looking through the list for an AMD card reveals an R7 partway down the list with 1.05% share on the market. The problem is the R7 isn't really one card. There are 3 series so for only 1% for probably all these cards, that's not penetration. The RX 580, a change from the 480 in the previous month which is the first properly named card for AMD which has a massive 0.73% of the market. Interestingly there was an increase of 0.05% for this card as everyone who knows anything about AMD know that this card is the one of the best value for money second hand cards ESPECIALLY with AMD's upcoming major graphics card releases this year.
