RX 9070 XT and RX 9060 XT GPUs make gains in latest Steam Hardware Survey

The May 2026 Steam Hardware Survey reveals that Radeon RX 9070 XT and 9060 XT graphics cards have finally been registered in the database, nearly a year after their launch.

As spotted by Videocardz, the latest survey data shows that the RX 9070 XT has reached a 1.33% market share, while the RX 9060 XT has reached 0.72%. This marks the first appearance of RDNA 4 GPUs in the Steam Hardware Survey, which runs every month, although the exact number of Steam users polled is never really known. Nvidia alternatives currently hold higher positions on the charts, with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti slightly ahead at 1.73%. GPUs like the RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 Ti also continue to report monthly adoption gains.

The survey data also show that eight-core CPUs emerged as the fastest-growing segment, while six- and ten-core processors both dipped slightly. Still in this segment, AMD continues to increase its share against its competition, currently sitting at 45%.

Concurrently, a volatile pricing market has driven a resurgence in 16GB RAM systems over 32GB configurations, while SSDs larger than 1TB shrank by 1.23% as buyers moved back to smaller drives. Lastly, OS data show Windows rebounding by 0.38% against recent Linux gains, bringing the total market share to 94% Windows, 4% Linux, and 2% macOS. Though the up-and-coming CachyOS distro doubled its share to 0.5%, sitting just behind SteamOS at 0.9%.
