In June, the desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 continues to be the most popular video card in the monthly survey of Steam, although it has lost half a percent (5.66%; -0.53%). In second place is the budget GTX 1650, but it too is losing (4.16%; -0.36%). And in third place, with an increase of almost one percent (3.58%; +0.74%), is the laptop NVIDIA RTX 4060, which has become the most popular mobile video card and the most popular of the RTX 40xx.
Gaming laptops are becoming increasingly popular: in Ukrainian stores, according to Hotline, the cost of laptops with NVIDIA RTX 4060 starts from 34 thousand UAH (equivalent to ~$800). For this money, the user gets a powerful gaming computer, with a screen and the ability to work autonomously. The device is not cheap, but attractive compared to the cost of building a corresponding desktop PC.
The mobile NVIDIA RTX 4060 is equipped with a "cut-down" graphics processor AD107 from the desktop version of the video card. The laptop video card has a TDP of 115 W and is powerful enough for comfortable gaming in 1080p resolution and even in 1440p.
Another interesting trend among Steam users is the gradual transition to Windows 11. The share of the latest Microsoft operating system has increased by more than half a percent (+0.55%) and reached 46.63%. At the same time, the most popular Windows 10 has lost almost one percent (-0.93%) and now covers less than half of the audience - 49.42%. If the trend continues, Windows 11's leadership among gamers is already close.
Among the factors affecting the decrease in the percentage of Windows 10, the end of support for "ten" next year and its lack of support in the latest AMD processors. The latter factor is important in terms of the market for compact mobile gaming devices - the vast majority of portable consoles are based on the AMD platform, these devices are almost certain to be updated next year.
