Nvidia is killing it because they are the backbone of AI outside of gaming, too, which is where most of the interest is.
Their GPUs seem to be available and affordable to everyone but gamers these days. Fewer people are buying them to play games, and that audience has enough money to price out regular consumers with demand.
I’m not inclined to believe the accuracy of the survey, especially since it’s just voluntary data from randomly chosen people.
Sales data shows that the Steam Deck alone has numbers just shy of total 50 series GPUs. Not all of those GPUs are going to be used for gaming, but I’d hazard just about all of those Steam Decks are. So logically the Steam Deck’s integrated GPU should be the most popular option on paper.
Gaming and consumer “AI PCs” account for $16 billion of Nvidia’s revenue from last year, compared to $190 billion made on AI data centers.
Consumer GPUs are an afterthought for them at this point, not even 10% of their business.
You’re right about non gaming AI is most of the business and gamers are a small part is the business, but Nvidia is a large last of the gaming gpu industry.
Also steam survey separate the steam deck. The 5070 is the most popular discreet gpu
