Nvidia had 90% of PC graphics add-in board shipments worldwide in Q2 2026, according to Jon Peddie Research. AMD had 8% and Intel 2%. Counting integrated graphics too, Intel led all PC GPUs with 56%, ahead of Nvidia (23%) and AMD (21%). In data centres, NVIDIA's latest quarterly Data Center revenue was 13.2 times AMD's.

## Key statistics

- Nvidia had 90% of PC graphics add-in board shipments worldwide in Q2 2026, according to Jon Peddie Research.
- AMD had 8% of PC graphics add-in board shipments worldwide in Q2 2026, according to Jon Peddie Research.
- Intel had 56% of all PC GPU shipments, integrated and discrete, worldwide in Q2 2026, according to Jon Peddie Research.
- NVIDIA's Data Center revenue was 13.2 times AMD's in their latest reported quarters of 2026, calculated by StatisticsGlobal from the two companies' filings.
- Nvidia graphics cards were in 74.66% of Steam users' systems in September 2026, calculated by StatisticsGlobal from Valve's Steam survey data.

## GPU market share 2026: Nvidia vs AMD vs Intel

The answer depends on which GPUs you count. Jon Peddie Research (JPR) tracks two markets. Add-in boards are the separate graphics cards in desktop PCs. All PC GPUs also include graphics built into processors.

Nvidia dominates graphics cards. It had 90% of add-in board shipments in Q2 2026. AMD had 8% and Intel 2%. That is roughly 11.3 million Nvidia boards out of 12.5 million.

The picture flips when integrated graphics are included. Most laptops and many desktops use the GPU built into an Intel or AMD processor. Counted that way, Intel had 56% of the 75.5 million PC GPUs shipped in Q2 2026. Nvidia had 23% and AMD 21%.

So Nvidia's share of graphics cards was 3.9 times its share of all PC GPUs. When a source quotes "GPU market share", check which of the two markets it means.

## Discrete GPU (add-in board) market share by quarter

Add-in boards (AIBs) are the graphics cards sold for desktop PCs. JPR publishes vendor shares each quarter in a free release.

Nvidia's share of add-in boards peaked at 94% in Q2 2025 and has since eased to 90%. AMD went from 6% to 8% over the same year. Intel reached 2% in Q2 2026, its highest share in this series.

AMD's best recent quarter was Q4 2024, at 15%. It fell to 8% in Q1 2025, a quarter JPR linked to Nvidia's new Blackwell cards ramping up.

JPR revises past quarters. Its Q4 2025 release put Nvidia at 94% for that quarter. Three months later it showed 91% for the same quarter. The widely quoted "94%" figure for Q4 2025 is the first estimate, not the latest.

## Total PC GPU market share including integrated graphics

JPR's Market Watch counts every graphics processor shipped in PCs, including those built into Intel and AMD processors.

Intel still ships most PC graphics, but its lead is shrinking. Its share fell from 64% in Q2 2024 to 56% in Q2 2026. AMD gained 7 points in the year to Q2 2026, reaching 21%.

Nvidia's share of all PC GPUs stayed between 20% and 25% in the quarters shown. Most PCs rely on integrated graphics, and only some add a discrete GPU.

The attach rate shows this. In Q2 2026 there were 120 GPUs shipped for every 100 PCs, because many PCs have both an integrated and a discrete GPU.

## Data center GPU revenue: Nvidia vs AMD

We found no free, current source for data centre GPU unit shares. The two companies' filings show the revenue gap.

NVIDIA made $89.0 billion from data centres in its quarter to 26 July 2026. AMD made $6.7 billion in its quarter to 27 June 2026. NVIDIA's figure was 13.2 times larger.

Both grew fast. NVIDIA's Data Center revenue rose 117% in a year and AMD's 107%. AMD's segment also includes its EPYC server processors, and NVIDIA's includes networking, so neither figure is GPUs alone. Gaming is small by comparison. AMD's Gaming revenue was $779 million, 6.8% of its total.

Data centres now drive NVIDIA's business. They made up 92.5% of its revenue in the quarter. For the cloud platforms that buy many of these chips, see our [cloud market share statistics](https://statisticsglobal.org/cloud-market-share/).

## Most popular GPUs on Steam

Valve's monthly Steam Hardware & Software Survey shows which graphics cards gamers actually use. It counts installed hardware, not new shipments.

The ten most common cards on Steam in September 2026 were all Nvidia models. The RTX 5070 led with 6.15%. The highest AMD entry was "AMD Radeon Graphics" at 1.51%, followed by the RX 9070 XT at 1.42%.

Valve does not publish vendor totals, so we added up every model it lists. Nvidia cards were in 74.66% of systems, AMD 12.13% and Intel 4.85%. The remaining 8.33% sit in Valve's unassigned "Other" row.

Treat September's jump with care. Nvidia gained 2.82 points in one month, mostly from RTX 50-series cards. In the same month, Simplified Chinese respondents rose 7.42 points to 31.39% of the survey. Shifts in who answers can move Steam's hardware figures.

## GPU shipments by year

JPR also publishes how many add-in boards and PC GPUs ship each quarter.

About 44.3 million graphics cards shipped in 2025, by our sum of JPR's quarterly figures. Shipments jumped from 9.2 million in Q1 2025 to 11.6 million in Q2 2025. JPR linked that jump to buying ahead of expected tariffs.

2026 has held up so far. Q2 2026 shipments of 12.5 million were 6.6% above a year earlier. JPR's theory is that buyers rushed to purchase before prices rose further.

JPR still expects decline. It forecasts add-in board shipments to shrink by 2.5% a year from 2025 to 2030. It expects all PC GPU shipments to shrink by 0.6% a year to 2029.

## How these sources measure the GPU market

The four sources count different things. None of them is a census.

JPR estimates shipments from supplier data and its own research. Its free releases show vendor shares only as rounded chart values, so small changes can hide inside rounding. The text of a release sometimes gives a different decimal change than its chart. JPR also revises earlier quarters, so we list the release behind each figure.

Steam measures what is installed in gamers' PCs, not what was sold this quarter. Its sample changes every month and its size is not published. Valve lists models, not vendors, so the vendor totals here are our sums.

The filings report revenue, not units, and group GPUs with other products. NVIDIA's latest release has no separate Gaming line. AMD's Gaming figure ($779 million in Q2 2026) includes console chips, which it calls semi-custom. Its 31% fall was due to lower semi-custom revenue.

We found no free, current source for data centre GPU unit shares. Figures quoted elsewhere tend to come from paid analyst reports we cannot check.
