The survey data show that no RX 9070 or 9060 cards exceed the reporting threshold, indicating that all RDNA 4 models are likely bundled into the “Other” category.

For comparison, even the extremely overpriced RTX 5090 is included on the list, despite having a tiny 0.19% share.

The 5090 having higher share than any specific AMD 9000 series GPUs just goes to show how incredibly dominant Nvidia is in gaming GPUs. I wonder if the combined installed base share of all 9000 series is larger than the 5090.

I wonder if the combined installed base share of all 9000 series is larger than the 5090.

if you filter down into Vulkan GPUs, the 5090 is at 0.42%, 9070 at 0.18%, 9070 GRE at 0.02%, and I don't see the others... so yea it appears that the 5090 has more than the whole 9000 series combined

Wild, 9060 XT 16GB is easily the best value at MSRP.

Damn.

Good catch. 5090 seems to be at x2 of the 9000 series.

All they'd have to do is make enough of the damn things. There's a reason they're impossible to find at MSRP. My theory is that they're too scared to really compete with Nvidia.

~~I see plenty of 9060 XT 16GB offered below MSRP online right now.~~

Nope I'm dumb and misrembered what the MSRP was lol. They are selling for ~$30-$40USD above MSRP, my bad.

Thought 16GB was $399 and 8GB was $349, but the real MSRP is $349 for 16GB and $299 for 8GB.
