Steam's February Survey: AMD CPUs & GPUs Continue To Dominate For Linux Gamers
43% of Linux Gamers are Steam Deck users, most popular Nvidia GPU for linux (steam) gamers still is the 1060 while the most popular Desktop GPU still is the AMD RX 480.
GPU Percentage AMD AMD Custom GPU 0405 35.06% AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV VANGOGH) 8.54% AMD Radeon RX 480 2.07% Intel Iris Xe Graphics 2.01% AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT 2.00% AMD Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series 1.90% AMD Raphael 1.70% AMD Radeon RX 6800/6800 XT / 6900 XT 1.58% AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT 1.57% Intel UHD Graphics 620 1.39% NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 1.38% AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 1.29% AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics 1.29% NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 1.27% I guess most people just don't play any newer games? Because there's no way you'd get passable FPS with a RX 480 in any modern 3D game nowadays when even my previous RX 580 failed at that task.
What is there to say? The open source drivers are pretty good.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
With Steam on Linux use for January clocking in at 1.95%, I was very eager to see if the February results would once again surpass the 2.0% threshold...
The February 2024 Steam Survey results show Linux sliding by 0.19% down to 1.76%...
So it's another month of Chinese reporting throwing off the data, just as we've seen at random times in prior months where there is a reported large increase in Chinese use, similarly a big uptick in Windows 10 use, etc.
AMD Radeon graphics continue to dominate the most popular Linux GPU list in the Steam Survey.
Meanwhile under Windows the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 remains the most popular GPU.
So some interesting Linux insights while the overall Steam metrics are once again impacted by the sharp increase in Chinese use.
