Numbers that are not surprising given that in a recent presentation NVIDIA stated that those who switched to Ampere GPUs have spent $ 300 more than the previous GPU (and not always by will, but due to the increases related to shortage, scalper and mining) .

Deliveries of dedicated video cards compared to Q4 2020 grew by 29.5% to reach 13.1 million units, while compared to Q3 2021 (12.72 million) they increased by 3%. In this context AMD performed well, with a increase in Radeon video card shipments of 12.4% on the previous quarter and 35.7% on Q4 2020.

NVIDIAfor its part, has seen the number of units increase by 0.5% from Q3 2021 and by 27.7% from Q4 2020, which has allowed it to largely remain the first force in the sector with a share of 77.2%. AMD, consequently, stops at 22.8%.

The best video cards

In the months to come – by the end of the quarter – the dedicated video card market will welcome a third force, Intel (here a teaser of future VGAs).
