So there you have it. Didn't expect this tbh

 

[Slottr]

That's called market share

[minibois]

I.. I'm the 1% of PC gamers.. Finally something to be proud of!

Perhaps..

[TheBean]

its because nvidia advertizes their stuff. also, 580 is basically non-existent in laptops.

WHAT

[Lurick]

Much EXPLAIN

 

Seriously, it's a great mid-range gaming card that's been around for a couple years now. If you wanted to spice up the clickbait you could have easily said "GTX 1060 more popular than all RTX cards combined!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!"

[PlayStation 2]

amd fanboys btfo again

It's almost like NVIDIA, a popular GPU manufacturer, has a higher market share and has their products in more prebuilt systems.

Marketing > common sense. 

 

People are simple, they don't know how to look past ads and buy whatever gets put in their faces.

It’s performance was sub par of that of the 580s, it’s power consumption was never a marketable selling point...

[Stefan Payne]

Shows that the Market doesn't work and people don't want a good offer...

The 580 is really cheap right now, though 570 even more.

I'd take the voluntary Steam hardware surveys with a grain of salt and its not really an accurate metric of hardware marketshare, although I agree the lower power consumption does make sense especially in prebuilt and lower end systems.

it's probably the best we've got, i trust the windows and gpu share enough. 

 

To the topic, my go to budget build would be a 2600+570/580 atm, but i'm not surprised at all about the 15:1 thing, a decade ago, tn panels were successfully marketed into "high refresh rate gaming monitors", ill never forget seeing people carrying out 32inch lcd out from best buy for 300usd (cheap at the time) despite the floor model showing only reds and greens, (the colors were so bad that the greens and blues look the same). Point is, marketing does wonders, asus in the modern day does a good job of that. Good marketing with mostly inferior products, strix might be the exception, though i'm not sure anymore.

[Mister Woof]

I mean...so?

[aezakmi]

Steam was always Intel/nvidia aimed so I don't get why y'all are surprised about this.

[dgsddfgdfhgs]

I hate gtx1060!!!! as owner of gtx970

they should add that 3% to 1060~~~

At launch the rx 580 didnt have the performance that has today thanks to the drivers. Today seems more of a better choice(and cheaper) but it wasnt that clear back then. And of course as the other guys said: market share, simply being more popular.  oh and the miners thing really took out a lot of the 480/580 chips from the hands of the gamers.
