In Steam’s latest hardware survey, Nvidia’s RTX 3060 graphics card has taken the lead as the GPU most used by gaming platform customers. The product knocked the GTX 1060 down in popularity and ended the GPU’s long reign, again by Nvidia.

The GTX 1060 came into the limelight two years ago, delivering excellent 1080p performance in most modern games. With desktop and laptop computers coming to the fore, there was no room for other GPUs until now when the market is concentrated.

But now, two years later, the RTX 3060 has overtaken its predecessor. It offers modern technologies such as DLSS and reflex. The price is also very competitive. It costs around R$2,399.99 in Brazil, but retails for $329 abroad.

However, the Steam Hardware Poll shows that the GTX 1060 technically ranks first with 6.94% of all users. When desktop and mobile are combined, it loses to the RTX 3060 with 7.52% of the combined market.

The new GPU offers a higher sales rate for Nvidia than before. In September, the RTX 3060 saw a 0.89% increase in market share, while the GTX 1060 was up just 0.34% from the previous month.
