The GeForce RTX 3060 continues to be the most popular GPU among PC gamers, and with the card still widely available, this will probably continue for some time. The GeForce RTX 4060 recently made the top 10 and is continuing to climb the list.

As the mainstream $300 or so GPU for the current GeForce RTX 40 Series, we wouldn’t be surprised if the RTX 4060 makes it into the top 5 by the end of the year. Interestingly, with the laptop variant sitting in the top 3, the data suggests that more people are buying laptops to game with in 2024 versus desktop rigs.
