After our recent analysis from the Q2 2021 survey covering the evolution and future of Cloud Gaming, we wanted to focus on a topic we had already touched upon before. We had previously seen in the ProtonDB data that AMD was seriously taking over the gaming scene on Linux both in terms of CPU and GPU penetration. The recent survey enables us to confirm if this is indeed the case, and also confirm what are the key drivers for the market changes. So, what did we actually see this time around?

Important Note: the following results focus on respondents who use a machine with a discrete GPU card. Users with APUs or integrated graphics solutions are filtered out.

First let’s have a look at the following breakdown – the left bar represents the percentage of users with an AMD GPU, and the right bar the ones using Nvidia. We also break down the inside of each bar with CPU brand usage.

Note that all of these observations are very consistent with what we observed using the ProtonDB data just a few months ago. Which is great, because this confirms that the sample found in ProtonDB may be quite representative after all.
