As we enter December, Valve has completed processing data and officially released the November Steam Hardware and Software Survey, highlighting trends in the gaming industry. Interestingly, AMD's latest RDNA 4 designs from the Radeon RX 9000 series have yet to make a significant impact on the market, indicating that many Steam survey participants are not using AMD Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs. The top spot in the GPU usage list is held by NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4060 (notebook), with the first AMD product appearing nine spots later. Valve lists this first AMD Radeon GPU as an unnamed entry, likely representing integrated GPUs or other systems-on-chip products with unconventional configurations compared to standard discrete GPUs.
The first AMD discrete GPU on the list is the older RDNA 2-based Radeon RX 6600, followed by the RDNA 3-based RX 7800 XT. However, nine months after the RDNA 4 series began selling, there are no RDNA 4 GPUs present in the general survey. This could suggest that Steam gamers prefer other options or that the RDNA 4 series isn't selling well. While we don't have a definitive conclusion, the data points to a concerning trend.
