Nvidia Dominates Graphics Card Market as Shipments Reach Four-Year High

Graphics card shipments have reached a four-year high of 12.5 million units in Q2 2026, despite rising prices and declining CPU sales.

This surge in unit sales is particularly notable as it defies expectations that gamers would be deterred by increasing prices.

Jon Peddie Research attributes the trend to consumers rushing to buy graphics cards before prices go even higher, due to the ongoing war in Iran driving up costs across all segments.
