AMD's RX 6600 is the most popular Red Team GPU among Steam gamers, by a whisker — but no Radeon card makes the top 30 list (www.tomshardware.com)

Although the 6600 also sold independently through retail, it was primarily popular among prebuilt gaming PC manufacturers. That doesn't mean it was particularly popular among gaming enthusiasts, you know in picking their favorite model, although it could have very well been, but the Steam Leaderboards are more about what prebuilt gaming PC manufacturers are selling the most of.

I bought a 6650 since it was the best price / performance card available at the time, and by a huge margin, which was important since this was in 2022 with its still crazy GPU prices.

I would say it's a mix of pre-built and DIY builds and notebooks (which I assume so the majority of Steam users).
