How much has your GPU performance increased on your current platform (socket)

[SpartanM07]

This is no longer my current platform but it definitely should be mentioned:

My 3770k with a Maximus V Extreme went from 3xGTX 480s > GTX 690 > 2xR9 290x's + R9 290 > 2xGTX Titan Xs (Maxwell) > Titan X (Pascal) > Titan Xp > and for a short bit a Titan V, RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti. Only have pictures of the last three.

ran the rx 480 for 3 months with the R7 2700 then upgraded to RX 5700. Im guessing its about 40% faster if not more as i had to turn some settings down on 480 whereas 5700 i do not have to turn down anything 95% of the time.

70% judging by tpu charts,it's 1.66x of 580

thnx good sir, been a bit today so im not the sharpest tool in the shed atm

On previous platform I went from 660 to 1060. This one still uses 1060 as I'm waiting for next gen.

I started with two 1GB 6870s in Crossfire on my current platform, eventually got a 390, then replaced that with a Vega 64, so when push comes to shove, I've easily doubled graphics performance since I first built my X79 machine.

In my main PC I have noticeable performance increase which is pretty much visible only in benchmarks. It might have been a completely different story with 1440p or 4K monitor. I went from Sapphire R9 390 w/backplate to Palit GTX 1080 Game Rock. The reason for such upgrade was because I had issues with R9 390.
Considering the in-game performance, for the example, my PC with Sapphire R9 390 w/backplate achieved an average of 67 FPS in Far Cry Primal, while Palit GTX 1080 Game Rock reaches an average of 105 FPS - ultra details, same PC/hardware, both paired with 1080p monitor.

On my other back-up PC (inherited from my grandpa who passed away) I went from XFX R9 380X to Asus GTX 780 DC2OC. That's a small performance increase. I got it practically for free - bought it for the same amount of money that I sold R9 380X.

For my new rig its still in the air, but my old one with the 3570K went from a single GTX 660 > SLI > single 770 > 780ti > 1080.

With the 1080 a clear lack of balance but even so, more than 30% gain from the 780ti.

My current system is 2 Vega 64s in crossfire before that I had 2 580s. I can say that in most cases I got a 65% increase over the 580s. I also upgraded recently from a 1900X to a 1920X and I must say that the extra cores/threads seem to make the CPU feel snappier than the 1900X.

Went from RX580 8GB Nitro Plus overclocked to my RX 5700. Love it, big improvement over the 580. My CPU is still fast enough, especially overclocked to 4GHz. I'll probably upgrade that at the end of this year.

2700x b450 2x rx580 to a gtx1080, simler fps in games which are supported Xfire but a lot less noise and and heat the 1080 has a ekwb fitted.

10 out of 36 voters (27%) got a 2x increase on same socket
11 (31%) got at least 40%

means futureproofing your cpu and platform is very important

Inb4 'future proof doesn't exist'.

I'll look for my appropriate wall of text, wait here.

Inb4 'future proof doesn't exist'.

it does
just not in the sense people mean it

futureproofing is getting top performance now and enough legs to extend in the future

 

[MrGRiMv25]

I had performance regression haha... went from a 1070Ti to an RX 570 as needed some funds for other stuff in my house. I only play a couple games nowadays so I made sure the RX570 was enough for the few games I do play - but also made sure it would be enough to run Doom Eternal at a reasonable frame rate and settings when it finally releases.

On previous platform I went from 660 to 1060. This one still uses 1060 as I'm waiting for next gen.

I had an OEM GTX660 which was a really good overclocker, I bought it as noticed it had more shaders than the standard GTX660 and was based on the GK104 die instead of the GK106. I missed it a little bit when I got rid of the card, kind of like when I got rid of my 8800 years ago.

What did you start with on your current platform and what did you end up with ?
Did you have to upgrade the cpu in the process ?

I started with a R9 280 on the Z97 platform with a 4790K. Later upgraded the GPU to a RX 480 for $170 before the Bitcoin mining explosion took off. In hind sight I should of sold the RX 480 for the crazy prices they were going for on the used market. My ASUS Z97/E mobo crapped out so I moved to a low-end Ryzen 3 1200 (short on money at the time.) Eventually I swapped the Ryzen 1200 for a 2600X on the same B350 mobo. Later on I picked up a MSI RTX 2060 GamingZ.

Going from the RX 480 to the RTX 2060 gave me a 64% performance improvement (this 2060 is factory overclocked so it's likely better than 64%.)

Edit for the above ^

That is exactly why I built my current rig based on an AM4 motherboard.
It was the best option for me to ensure that my PC would have a decent CPU upgrade path if and when I wanted it.
I always try and plan my builds to last me 5 years or so but I also plan a GPU upgrade every 3 years.

 

[potato580+]

gtx260>rx570>480>580>590>vega56>2060>1080ti
not really help, mostly only 20% or so, so i think the best card worthly for me is rx 580 8gb still, the other just a waste of cash
maybe an 2080ti would be true upgrade for curent gaming

 

[Jetster]

From a GTX 980 Ti > RTX 2080 +45%

[Melvis]

I was running a FX-8350, 8GB RAM with SLI GTX 970s and I upgraded my CPU/Mobo/RAM to a 2700X and 16GB RAM, this netted me (depending on the game) up to or more a good 50% performance boost . I would like to upgrade the GPU's at some point but atm there doing fine.

 

[oxrufiioxo]

Titan Xp to 2080 ti... I actually just needed another GPU and my wife kept telling me not to be a cheap ass.... I selected 20-30% but in some games like RDR2 the difference is larger I also got a pretty good overclocker with Samsung memory. Gears 5 is about 40% faster oc vs oc

when I think of futureproof,I think of something like 8700k,not switching cpus
topped the charts when it came out,still top 3-4 gaming cpus out there after 2.5 years,good to go for another two.
better to go with one cpu and keep it.am4 is a nice way to have the option,but look at resale value for those who bought 1st/2nd gen ryzen in their prime.they can only sell at maybe 40% of the price they bought it.

Went from R9 290 to GTX 980 Ti. Same Ryzen 5 2600 still kickin'
