AMD Outsells NVIDIA in Germany: RX 9070 XT Beats Entire RTX Lineup

AMD just had one hell of a month in Germany. According to sales data from Mindfactory, one of the country's biggest online PC hardware retailers, Team Red absolutely cleaned up in August, moving more GPUs than NVIDIA by a wide margin. And the star of the show? The RDNA 4-based RX 9070 XT, which basically carried the entire AMD lineup on its back.

Out of 2,810 graphics cards sold at Mindfactory in August, AMD accounted for 1,570 units — that's 55.87% of all sales. NVIDIA moved 1,110 cards for 39.50%, while Intel trailed far behind with just 130 units (4.63%). In raw numbers, AMD sold 460 more GPUs than NVIDIA. Not exactly a photo finish.

But here's where things get interesting. Despite selling way more cards, AMD actually lost the revenue battle. NVIDIA's 1,110 GPUs brought in roughly €993,000 (49.95% of total revenue), while AMD's 1,570 cards generated about €941,000 (47.34%). That gap tells you everything about the pricing difference between the two brands — NVIDIA's cards cost significantly more on average, so it takes far fewer sales to match AMD's bottom line.

When you zoom in on individual models, the RX 9070 XT is an absolute monster. It sold 870 units, which is 31% of all GPUs sold in August. The RX 9060 XT wasn't far behind with 600 units (21.4%). Together, those two cards alone account for more than half of everything Mindfactory sold. NVIDIA's best-selling card, the RTX 5070 Ti, managed just 270 units (9.6%), followed by the RTX 5060 Ti at 250, the RTX 5080 at 240, and the RTX 5070 at 190.

On the extreme high end, the €5,000 flagship RTX 5090 sold a grand total of 10 units for the entire month. The recently revived RTX 3060 12GB also moved just 10 cards. Meanwhile, AMD's RDNA 4 architecture claimed 55.2% of all sales (1,550 units), while NVIDIA's Blackwell sat at 37.0% (1,039 units). Last-gen Ada Lovelace has essentially disappeared from shelves, though Ampere still lingers with 71 units thanks to budget RTX 3050 and 3060 models.

VRAM preferences are pretty clear too: 75.8% of all cards sold had 16GB or more, while only 24.2% had 12GB or less. Big memory is officially the mainstream choice. As for the top three specific SKUs, it was a three-way tie at the top: the PowerColor RX 9070 XT Reaper 16GB and Sapphire RX 9060 XT Pulse 16GB each sold 140 units, with MSI's RTX 5060 Ti Ventus 2X OC Plus 8GB right behind at 130.

So what does this tell us? In Germany's DIY market at least, AMD's mid-range strategy is resonating hard with buyers who want maximum VRAM for their money. NVIDIA still wins on revenue thanks to its premium pricing, but when it comes to pure unit volume, AMD is running the table. Are you team red or team green for your next upgrade?
