Latest report shows Nvidia’s GPU market share has jumped even further ahead of the competition
Table of Contents
The latest reports show the graphics card market is still being dominated by Nvidia. Jon Peddie Research has released its analysis of the first quarter graphics card shipments in 2025. Once again, to no one’s surprise, Nvidia’s share of the market has been dominant; however, the fact that it has grown while AMD and Intel have dropped is quite a worrying prospect.
In that time, Nvidia has jumped up to 92% of the total market share, and an increase of 8% from the previous quarter. At the same time, AMD dropped by 7% down to 8%, while Intel dropped entirely from its singular percent down to zero.
Those percentages are for a total of 9.2 million units of add-in board PC based graphics cards, separating them from the more general PC GPU report that also includes integrated graphics.

New GPUs stimulated the market
JPR outlines that it’s usually a flat line from the previous quarter due to seasonality and sales dropping off. This time, though, they have increased over the 10-year average by 0.6%, so including iGPUs, they increased by 8.4%.
Both Nvidia and AMD released new graphics cards in the first quarter that stimulated the market. With the RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070 from Team Green, and the RX 9070 XT and 9070 from Team Red, it’s no surprise things improved. They have been quite sought after, and plenty have been selling out. That also shows how Intel has missed out on the flood of cards, even with the Arc B570 having launched at the beginning of the year. Not great news, considering Intel intends to cut production of hardware that fails to achieve a gross margin of 50% or higher.
We also have to consider all the data center cards that Nvidia is known for, even with it not shipping all the H20’s it could, the numbers are much greater than those of consumer cards. JPR highlights that these Data Center graphics cards were up an average of 9.6% from the previous quarter.
Even with all that, there are some reservations on the improvements, as the President of the firm states.
Although shipments increased—which would not be expected if the traditional seasonality cycle was restored—as the chart indicates, we're still not back to normality, and the trade wars are unbalancing the overall market, further corrupting seasonality
