AMD vs Nvidia GPU Chart: 90% vs 47% Share [2026] - shattered.io
AMD sold more graphics cards than Nvidia on Amazon US in October 2026, about 9,200 units to 8,900, while Jon Peddie Research reports Nvidia holds roughly 90% of desktop add-in boards shipped worldwide in Q2 2026.
Neither figure is wrong. They measure different things, and picking the wrong one is how buyers end up with the wrong card. The Radeon RX 9000 Series and the GeForce RTX 50 Series are both still the current desktop generations, and neither maker has announced a successor for the gaming market.
The fight now runs through price, upscaling software and which dataset you trust. An earlier look at the 94% shipment headline showed how lopsided a single view can be, and the newest numbers make the spread wider still.
Leadership Changes
The timing adds noise to the market analysis. AMD reported record third-quarter results on November 3, 2026. Nvidia's board announced on November 12 that Jensen Huang had resigned as president, CEO and board member, with CFO Colette Kress reportedly stepping in as interim CEO.
Nvidia still plans to report fiscal third-quarter results on Tuesday, November 17. None of that changes what a Radeon or GeForce card does on your desk, but it shapes the headlines you will read while you shop.
Product Lineup
Both makers still sell the generation they launched in 2025. AMD's RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 arrived that year, and AMD's own desktop page names the RX 9070 XT as the newest Radeon on sale. Nvidia's lineup page lists seven desktop cards, running from the RTX 5090 at the top to the RTX 5050 at the bottom.
A useful AMD vs Nvidia comparison chart has to separate confirmed specs from single-source claims. AMD's flagship Radeon is the RX 9070 XT, which means AMD sells nothing aimed at the RTX 5090 or the RTX 5080 tier. That gap is the reason Nvidia owns the high end by default.
Market Positioning
Further down the product stack, the offerings overlap more. The RX 9070 and RX 9060 XT fight the RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 Ti directly, and Nvidia fills the space between with its RTX 5070 Ti. Nvidia carves its range into finer steps than AMD.
A buyer choosing between an RTX 5060 and an RTX 5060 Ti has two cards to weigh. A buyer on the AMD side has to choose between memory configurations of one card, because the RX 9060 XT comes in both 16 GB and 8 GB versions of GDDR6.
