NVIDIA's freshly completed GeForce RTX 50 family, powered by the new Blackwell architecture, has begun to register meaningful numbers in Steam's June 2025 Hardware Survey. Since first appearing in May, cards from this lineup, except for the as-yet-unavailable RTX 5050, now account for 3.69% of surveyed systems. Leading the pack among the newcomers, the RTX 5070 grabs nearly 1% of overall share, up substantially from its debut, while the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti follow closely behind. The more budget‑oriented RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 have also made their mark, and even the top‑end RTX 5090 has registered on enough machines to appear in the survey.

These figures show a swift uptake by desktop gamers eager for improved performance and AI-driven features, even as the tried-and-true RTX 4060 Laptop GPU holds onto its position as the most prevalent NVIDIA part, with just under 5% of the installed base. Meanwhile, AMD's latest Radeon RX 9000 series and Intel's Arc B‑series remain absent from the survey results, suggesting that shipment volumes for those cards have not yet reached the critical mass needed to register with Valve's monthly sampling of millions of Steam users. This demonstrates NVIDIA's continued dominance in add-in board sales, where it has consistently captured over 90% of the market.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

In what could spell trouble for the upcoming GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, Hardware Unboxed found that the latest Adrenalin drivers give the Radeon RX 9070 XT a 9% gain in raster performance at 1440p over review press drivers. This closes its performance gap with the current GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, which would make the card faster than any potential SKU NVIDIA intends to position between the RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti. This testing is part of a feature by Hardware Unboxed where they compared current drivers to review press drivers for both the RX 9070 XT and RTX 5070 Ti.

When averaged across 16 games, the RX 9070 XT with latest drivers was found to gain 9% performance over review press drivers; whereas the RTX 5070 Ti with the latest drivers only gained 2.5% performance over its review press drivers. This 9% gain for the RX 9070 XT puts it ahead of the RTX 5070 Ti. Both the RTX 5070 Ti and RX 9070 XT are capable of gaming at 4K with some settings turned down. Here, averaged across the same 16 games, Hardware Unboxed found that the RTX 5070 Ti gained 3% performance, while the RX 9070 XT gained 4%, and the two GPUs were evenly matched. Helping AMD's average are specific game tests where the RX 9070 XT vastly improved its performance, with "Counter Strike 2" posting a 23% improvement, and "Spider-Man Remastered" posting a massive 27%. "Hogwarts Legacy" sees an 18% gain for AMD. There's more interesting findings and insights in the Hardware Unboxed video linked below.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

TrendForce's latest investigations find that the NAND Flash market has seen significant improvement in supply-demand balance following production cuts and inventory reduction in the first half of 2025. As suppliers shift production capacity toward higher-margin products, the overall supply in circulation has tightened.

On the demand side, increased enterprise investment in AI and mass shipments of NVIDIA's next-generation Blackwell chips have provided strong support. Looking ahead to the third quarter, average NAND Flash contract prices are projected to rise by 5% to 10%. However, due to an uncertain outlook for smartphone demand in the second half of the year, price increases for eMMC and UFS products are expected to be more modest.[Only registered and activated users can see links.
