According to the August 2025 Steam Hardware & Software Survey, AMD’s presence in the Vulkan/Linux segment remains modest. The AMD 9070 was recorded at 0.2% adoption, while the 9070GRE accounted for just 0.02% of the surveyed systems. These figures reflect the current market share of these specific models within this particular software environment.

  1. Interesting to see the 9070GRE at just 0.02% adoption on Linux—I actually switched to that card last month for my Vulkan development work and noticed how few benchmarks existed for it. This makes me wonder if the low numbers reflect limited driver optimization or just niche use cases; has anyone else here tried running newer AMD cards with Mesa drivers lately?

    1. It’s great to hear from a fellow Vulkan developer using the 9070GRE—your experience with the scarcity of benchmarks definitely aligns with the survey’s low adoption numbers. From what I’ve seen, Mesa drivers have been steadily improving for newer AMD cards, so I’d suggest checking out Phoronix for recent performance reviews and compatibility notes. Let us know how your setup performs or if you uncover any useful optimizations!
