AMD Radeon Maintains Ten Week Long GPU Sales Lead Over NVIDIA GeForce In Germany

Gamers in Germany are purchasing more AMD Radeon graphics cards than NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs based on stats from retailer Mindfactory.

This is a repeated trend for AMD's Radeon GPUs, with ten consistent weeks showing the company's rise in the share of sales for the 19th week of 2023. The analysis comes from TechEpiphany and his continued GPU sales statistics from German retailer Mindfactory, while 3DCenter compiles the info into an easy-to-read table.

There was a drop in sales for GPUs at the German retailer, with a decline of 38% compared to four weeks before the most recent sales figures. The amount of graphics cards sold was 4,510, a drop from the 2022 average of 22%.

The above table, tabulated by 3DCenter.org, shows sales figures for the three leading graphics card manufacturers — AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA. While NVIDIA GeForce had a solid start to the year, AMD Radepm grasped sales from NVIDIA as early as ten months ago, albeit a minor lead that has only grown since. Intel still struggles to keep up with its rivals, with only one percent of the overall GPU sales from Mindfactory although that could change as there are new deals, promotions, and even a brand new program that could change the tide for the blue team.

AMD's recent sales success on Mindfactory is mainly due to huge discounts and price drops on the previous-gen Radeon 6000 series graphics cards, making them more enticing for consumers than NVIDIA's higher-priced GeForce RTX 30 & RTX 40 offerings. With consumers hesitant to make larger purchases with the world's current economic state & users revolting against the costs of hardware, it is no wonder how AMD, with its risky sales tactic, is maintaining its lead.

TechEpiphany notes that the XFX Radeon RX 6950 XT Merc Black graphics card was the leading GPU in sales, with custom NVIDIA graphics cards from MSI (the company's RTX 4070 Ti variant and RTX 4070 Gaming X Trio) following in overall sales on Mindfactory.

But what will the following months bring to the three graphics card manufacturers? NVIDIA and AMD are expected to release new graphics cards soon. AMD will release the Radeon RX 7600 GPU, while NVIDIA will launch the GeForce RTX 4060 series graphics cards. Intel is more of an afterthought, even though the company's GPU series offers comparable performance to the last-gen mainstream NVIDIA GPUs and offers "day one" support for new game releases.
