On January 4, Steam released the December 2021 user hardware report, and unexpectedly, the gtX 1060 graphics card share actually rose to 8.19%, an increase of 0.36% month-on-month. Released in 2016, this graphics card is still the product with the highest share of the Steam platform.
As for NVIDIA's new graphics card, the RTX 30 series, none of the models made it into the top ten, with the highest ranking being the RTX 3070, followed by the RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Laptop. Xiao Lei believes that it is not that players do not want to change the graphics card, it is really no card to change.
Affected by the lack of core, virtual currency mining and other factors, this year's graphics card market is too magical, a few years ago the old graphics card, sold more expensive than the new card, the starting price of 2999 yuan RTX 3060/3060 Ti, but also the price soared by 200%, consumers want to buy graphics cards, can see the premium so much, even if there is no shortage of money, but also to consider whether it is worth it.
GTX 1060 as a generation of classic dessert cards, the performance is not outdated so far, the general AAA games can run smoothly at 1080P. Although the GTX 1060 has been discontinued and replaced by the GTX 16 series graphics card, we can still see it in the second-hand market.
This year, many consumers who install computers have seen the graphics card market and have chosen to buy GTX 1060 for temporary use. In December, the GTX 1060 6G second-hand price has been reduced to about 1500 yuan, which is suitable for users who do not have particularly high computer performance requirements.
In addition, Steam also released the CPU data for December, with the help of the 12th generation Core, Intel changed the downward trend, and the CPU share increased by 0.82% month-on-month. Of course, Intel's total share has always been more than twice that of AMD. AMD CEO Su Zifeng has announced on Twitter the physical map of the Ryzen™ 6000 series, which will be released tonight, and whether it can win back a city depends on AMD's sincerity.
Tonight NVIDIA will also release the RTX 3090 Ti flagship graphics card, a high-end product that is expensive and usually does not go in volume, if you are interested, you can take a look.
