The RDNA 4 architecture has finally broken its silence on the Steam Hardware Survey, nearly a year after the Radeon RX 9000 series was released. While Nvidia's Blackwell architecture began appearing in the charts shortly after its early 2025 debut, AMD's latest generation had been curiously absent, leading to significant speculation about RDNA 4's market performance and the accuracy of Valve's reporting.
As of the December 2025 survey, the Radeon RX 9070 has officially debuted with a 0.21% share. This makes it the sole representative of the RX 9000 series on the list, as the flagship RX 9070 XT and the more budget-friendly RX 9060 models have not yet met the threshold for a named entry. This initial appearance places the RX 9070 alongside legacy GPUs like the RX 5500 XT and Intel's HD Graphics 4600.
In comparison, Nvidia's Blackwell generation has seen a much more aggressive ramp-up. The best representative of Nvidia's lineup is the RTX 5070, which leads the current-gen charge at 3.05%, followed by the RTX 5060 with 2.21%. The worst is the RTX 5090, but even so, with its 0.60%, it's almost three times higher than that of the Radeon RX 9070. At the top is the RTX 3060 with a whopping 6.53%, followed by the RTX 4060 Laptop with 5.85% and the RTX 4060 desktop with 5.84%.
Moving on to CPUs, another interesting bit is AMD's race to 50% share. Currently sitting at 44.42%, the red team has never been closer to surpassing Intel than it is now.
KitGuru says: The “missing” RDNA 4 cards were likely due to identification bugs rather than poor sales. With the RX 9070 finally on the board, we expect the 9070 XT to make a sudden jump in the early 2026 surveys as Valve refines its hardware detection.
