The GeForce RTX 5050 appears in the latest Steam Hardware Survey with just 0.17% share, trailing behind the RTX 5060 and AMD's RX 9070. See the full breakdown.
The GeForce RTX 5050 has finally made its way into the latest Steam Hardware Survey, completing the RTX 50 lineup that had been missing from the data until now. Both desktop and laptop versions are now tracked, though the mobile variant debuted earlier and remains more common.
Despite the anticipation, the card hasn’t made much of a dent in the market so far. Users gravitate toward higher-performing options like the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti, leaving the RTX 5050 with a share of only about 0.17%. In fact, AMD’s sole RDNA 4 card, the Radeon RX 9070, edges it out slightly with around 0.18%. And that’s without other next-gen AMD models appearing in the survey yet.
Leading the RTX 50 pack is the RTX 5070, holding nearly 3% share—a clear sign of strong demand for high-performance GPUs. The report also points to growing traction for 16 GB cards, whose share has climbed past 23%, steadily approaching the still-dominant 8 GB models.
Overall, the picture is that the market is gradually tilting toward more capable, higher-memory solutions, and budget-oriented cards like the RTX 5050 are facing increasingly tough competition even in their own segment.
