Steam Survey: Nvidia RTX 3060 Still Ties for Most-Used GPU Despite Being Nearly 5 Years Old

Valve's October 2025 Steam hardware survey shows the RTX 3060, launched in February 2021, tied with the newer RTX 5070 as the most-used graphics card, each present in 3.78 percent of surveyed systems. That's down from 4.79 percent in August 2025, indicating its share is shrinking even as it remains the single most common card. Combined, RTX 4060 desktop and laptop variants account for 7.11 percent, nearly double the 3060's share.

SRhonyra lists low-profile, bus-powered RTX 3060 12GB for $496 on Newegg

SRhonyra is selling a single-slot, low-profile RTX 3060 with 12GB of memory and dual monitor outputs that draws all its power from the PCIe slot rather than external connectors, priced at $495.59 on Newegg. The card, once seen for around $340 two months ago, reflects a broader surge in GPU pricing, and the vendor markets it specifically as suitable for running 7B to 13B parameter local LLMs.
