BELLEVUE, Washington (TechtUSA) - For a significant period of time, the budget and mid-range graphics cards such as the GeForce GTX 1650 and GTX 1060 dominated the PC gaming market.

Steam conducts a monthly survey to determine the most popular graphics cards on their platform, and these two cards have consistently ranked at the top along with RTX 2060. However, it seems that the PC market is now shifting towards newer and more advanced hardware.
