The GeForce RTX 50 series has been on the market for nearly a year. After debuting at steep prices, availability and pricing gradually improved throughout the year — and that shift is now reflected in Steam’s latest hardware survey. The RTX 5070 has become the fastest-growing GPU on the platform for November, even surpassing its predecessor.
With 0.35% growth in user adoption, NVIDIA’s current mid-range card edged past the RTX 4070 by 0.07%, securing 11th place among the most commonly used GPUs on Steam. Interestingly, the RTX 4070 itself is still inching upward (+0.04%), largely due to its now-limited availability.
If the RTX 5070 continues at this pace, it could break into Steam’s top 10 GPUs soon. The two cards directly above it — Radeon Graphics and the laptop RTX 3060 — are only 0.01% and 0.02% ahead.
RTX 5060 is the second fastest-growing GPU
Elsewhere in the rankings, the RTX 4060 Mobile continues to dominate, with 4.44% of Steam users, followed by the RTX 3060 (4.33%), the desktop RTX 4060 (4.15%), the RTX 3050 (3.11%), and the GTX 1650 (2.93%).
Among these, only the RTX 3050 saw a tiny bump (+0.01%).
The RTX 5060 posted the second-largest growth of the month, climbing 0.32%, just behind the RTX 5070.
Radeon RX 7800 XT continues its rise
On the AMD side, the RX 7800 XT was the company’s fastest-growing GPU in November, reaching 0.88% — just 0.01% shy of the popular RX 6600. If this trend continues, an upper-mid-range Radeon card could become the Red Team’s most-used GPU on Steam, something that has never happened before.
No RX 9000 series cards have appeared in the rankings yet.
AMD vs. Intel: CPU share keeps shifting
The CPU battle also saw movement. AMD’s Ryzen processors grew by another 0.52%, bringing the company to 42.61% of Steam users. Intel holds the remaining 57.30%.
If the current momentum continues, a historic reversal — with AMD overtaking Intel — could occur by late 2026.
