Nvidia's RTX 3060 Becomes Most Popular GPU on Steam, Beating Out GTX 1650

The Nvidia RTX 3060 has finally become the most popular GPU on Steam, with 6.10% market share. It beat out the GTX 1650 and other cards.
The 3060's share jumped 1.37%, the biggest swing of all GPUs on Steam recently. The GTX 1650 is second at 5.85%.
No current gen GPUs are very popular yet. The RTX 4070 leads at just 0.92% share.
AMD's RDNA 3 GPUs have little presence, with the 7900 XTX at 0.22% share.
The 3060 likely won't be dethroned soon, even with new RTX 4000 cards out. An RTX 5000 card may be needed to top it.
