Steam has published its Hardware & Software Survey for January 2024, and some publications have pointed out what is apparently a slow upturn in adoption regarding AMD’s RDNA 3 GPUs (e.g., the Radeon RX 7000 Series). According to the latest distribution numbers, market share for RDNA 3 products have remained at 0.3% over the last few months on Steam despite recent comments from AMD Chair and CEO Dr. Lisa Su that suggested they were seeing “strong demand” for its latest lineup. RDNA 2 saw a minor uptick in market share on Valve’s platform, however.

Radeon RX 7000 Series key dates:
- Launched on: December 13, 2022 (7900 XT, 7900 XTX)
- Latest release: January 24, 2024 (7600 XT)
Su said during a recent earnings call:
In Gaming Graphics, revenue grew both year-over-year and sequentially, driven by strong demand in the channel for both our Radeon 6000 and Radeon 7000 series GPUs. We expanded our Radeon 7000 GPU series with the launch of new RX 7600 XT Series enthusiast desktop GPUs earlier this month that offer leadership price performance for 1080p gaming. We also launched new open source FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 software that can deliver significantly higher gaming frame rates on both GPUs and APUs.

And AMD hasn't exactly been out there pushing their GPUs with really aggressive refreshes, bundles or price reductions. Sure, those things happen, but they are pretty lackluster compared to years past or to what nVidia has been doing on their side with this generation.
Well then....the numbers don't lie......maybe the users with the strong demand dont use Steam....LoL
There are way more Steam users using GCN 4.0 than RDNA3.
Pretty low numbers for AMD across the board.
