AMD regains (a tiny bit) of GPU market share from Nvidia (www.pcgamer.com)

The latest data from JPR shows AMD regaining some market share from Nvidia. Don't get too excited. The new figures put AMD at 17.5% of overall desktop graphics card market share for the second quarter of 2023.

That's up from just 12% for the first quarter of the year. Wind the clock back to Q2 of 2022 and AMD was on 20%. So it's still behind its modest performance relative to Nvidia one year ago. But AMD has also improved significantly from the all-time low (at least in terms of data going back to 2002) of just a 10% share in the third quarter of last year.

Overall, desktop graphics cards shipments were up by 2% this quarter versus the first quarter of the year at 6.44 million. However, they were still down by a pretty horrendous 38% versus the same quarter in 2022.

I ended up going all AMD for my build earlier this year. So I guess I'm partially responsible here...

I upgraded my ten-year-old gaming PC this year and switched from an Nvidia GPU to an AMD one. You're welcome.

Same. It was price/performance this round, and some decent AMD sales drove that home. I'd love DLSS & ray-tracing, but they're not worth the premium atm, especially with AMD slowly improving their ray-tracing performance in some newer games.
