Radeon RX 7600 Becomes Most Popular AMD GPU In Korean DIY Market While NVIDIA Retains 89% Share

AMD's Radeon RX 7600 GPU is the most popular red team option in the Korean DIY market but NVIDIA retains 89% market share.

The South Korean DIY market has been very positive for Team Red on the CPU side of things with strong sales of Ryzen CPUs against Intel's Core offerings but in the GPU department, the vendor still has a lot of work to do. According to Danawa Research, while AMD has managed to grab a small share of the GPU market with its latest entry-level GPUs, the company still has a long way to go to get close to NVIDIA or even achieve a 50/50 split.

Looking at the progress of AMD's Radeon division, the GPU maker had a share of 4.61% share a year ago (July 2023) but has now more than doubled. As of last month (June 2024), AMD's share increased to 11.33% which is a drastic increase.

As for what GPUs performed the best, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 amounted to 26% of the total share followed by the RX 6600 at 23.1%, RX 580 (2048SP) at 15.9% and the Radeon RX 6800 gaining 12.4% share. The last-gen RDNA 2 "Radeon 6000" GPU lineup seems to be gaining well due to its good value and performance.

On the NVIDIA camp, it looks like the company still retains a strong 89% market share hold and that's not just in the South Korean DIY market but across various regions. One can also see the dominance of the green team through the latest Steam Hardware Survey statistics.

But once again, the popularity of the Radeon RX 7600 has been its better value compared to the competition which mainly includes RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti GPUs. In terms of pricing, these cards are expensive than AMD's RX 7600 while the new RDNA 3 architecture proves to be a better investment for new PC builders.

Looking at the German market, sales figures shared by TechEpiphany show that NVIDIA GPUs amounted to 66.16% of the total sales in the 25th week of 2024 while AMD GPUs only managed a 32.54% share. The revenue split was 75.47% (NVIDIA) and 24.14% (AMD). As for what GPUs did well, NVIDIA's RTX 4060 Ti and the SUPER trio managed to top the charts with AMD's Radeon RX 7800 XT coming in at 5th place and that is again followed by the RTX 4070 at 6th position.

As for the Steam Hardware Survey (June 2024), the NVIDIA GPUs hold a 76.38% share while AMD holds a 15.59% share. The top three GPUs include the RTX 3060, GTX 1650, and RTX 4060 (for laptops) with the newer 40-series chip gaining big time and is on the trajectory to surpass the GTX 1650 as the 2nd most popular GPU in the coming months.

All GPU vendors, AMD, NVIDIA & Intel, are mostly done with their existing lineups and are now focusing on the launch of their next-generation products which include the likes of the Blackwell-based GeForce RTX 50 series, the RDNA 4-based Radeon RX 8000 series and the Battlemage Xe2-based Arc graphics cards so let's see if these new products will help change the market positioning for each respective camp.
