I started with a umm..

A p4 netburst CPU and a 9500 GT

9500 GT and am now running a 5700 XT on x570, soon to be x470.

4870 was something back in the day.
 
Just a GPU ,290x CFX to 1080Ti.

Bigtime CPU processing power upgrade, around double the performance from my 3rd gen core i7...same GPU though.
 
Is there a time span for the changes?
I got 2700x and Vega 64 Red Devil 2 years back replacing my good 'ol 3770K and 780Ti. A week ago order 2x Threadripper 3970x and couple radeons 5500xt's. Although these two will not replace my 2700x :)

In response to the OP;
With the system I'm currently using for gaming, it started out with a GTX760 4GB, was upgraded to a GTX1080 and then an RTX2080. The CPU was upgraded once as well from an X5675 to an X5680.
 
...but why would you have to?
omg quit asking dumb questions
the poll is how much your gpu power increased
some people say it's over 100%
it's no wonder one would have to buy a faster cpu if they went into high refresh gaming with a much faster gpu
what are you,two ?

I got that, but nothing's an actual requirement. It's just semantics sure, but still. Whatevs.

if you get that your question is irrelevant to to the topic,then why do you need it excplained?
 
I had a RX580 and a GTX 2060 on my 1150 z87 system.. that was a total side grade.

On my main system I still have the same GPU and I'll probably upgrade that when I get my bonus check...

It's getting harder for me to want to upgrade when they have to find extreme levels of BS to get my attention...RTX isn't doing it for me....I need actual performance increases and not just a new shiny coating-pun intended.
 
So my previous GPU upgrade (GTX 560 Ti to RX 480 4GB) was an improvement of about ~170% in a 5 year interval. Cost-wise, the 560 Ti was about 170€ and the 480 was 248€. This year will be the 480's 4th year and I doubt I'll be doubling performance without paying significantly more, which is a bummer.

I got my numbers from userbenchmark and gamedebate, so those could be totally wrong.

Normal 560 Ti or a 448 shader (cut-down 570) one? I got that better one some time ago and it was surprisingly good, hell, it even ran RE7 :)

It's clock-to-clock identical to GTX 470 and I loved that card, told more about that one in my posts above.

I had the regular 560 Ti, I think the 448 version only released some time after I bought it. I had the MSI Twin Frozr II OC model and it was a pretty great card for me at the time, got me through 5 years of gaming and still lives on in my brother-in-law's PC playing older titles 8-9 years later.

Yeah, it would still be fine if the 1GB VRAM and EOL driver support wouldn't be the problem..

Hell, when I moved from GTX 470 (1.25GB) to Radeon HD 5870 CF, I instantly saw that 1GB is a bottleneck.. and that was in 2014 :( Those had raw horsepower, but no VRAM..

I used a GTX 460 about 2.5 - 3 years ago and I've replaced it with a GTX 670 which died in 2 weeks (bummer :p it was a used card, overheated) :p Than I bought 780Ti. I had to replace my GTX 460 because I started seeing artifacts. I still have it though :) I remember people saying to oven it but I didn't do it :p
It was a really nice card back in the days :)
 
I started with a GTX 1070 Ti, then upgraded to RX 5700 XT, and now RTX 2080 Super.

How was the performance change jumping form 1070ti to 5700xt

Navi is unlike previous-gen Radeons. It feels very "GeForce-like" in smoothness (lack of microstutter). I had a 20% frame-rate uplift, and 1440p certainly felt a lot better.
 
Went from R9 290 to GTX 980 Ti. Same Ryzen 5 2600 still kickin' :)
was gonna pay for it, it does trade blow with 1070/ti still, but the price here is not cheap yet, it cost same price as vega56/1070ti:D

Mine is an EVGA FTW card, so high factory OC that it kills 1070 :)

 
after longtime laptop user my 1st pc vga is vega 8, then gtx280 plus it increased around 10fps, next is 580 this is my favorite since it was cheap and performance gain is alot 30%+:D
next is
480/570/590 almost nothing change, a sightly incrased bettwen model maybe

to:
gtx 980 nothing changed
vega 56 incrase 10fps+
rtx 2060 10fps maybe
vega 64 nothing
2060 strix abit 5% maybe
1080ti 20% probably

so if i count the gap from 1st card to the faster card it should be around 85%+ from vega 8 to 1080ti:D

forgot mention 980 added hehe
and an ati 102 altho i never test it, dont have the dms cable:p

RX 5700 to RTX 2070 (non super), so a very slight upgrade/sidegrade, but the primary motivation was driver stability unfortunately; RX 5700 is a fantastic product with excellent performance for the price (got mine £319 almost after launch) but since I've started WCG a bit more on my main machine, the driver lockups/black screens were getting tiresome. I really hope AMD can fix these issues. :(

I was very happy with the performance/acoustics of the RX 5700 (was a reference card too) and it looked great, but I have yet to crash once with the RTX 2070 in my system. I picked this ASUS Dual-Evo card up for £380 last week: it's the same model as the RTX 2060 SUPER I owned previously and I really like the design/cooler. ASUS did well with this card ( wish I could say the same for some of their 5700 models tho...)

My GPU changes are usually side-grades lol. I am very happy with even just RX 590 / GTX 1660 performance for what I "game" mostly, at 1080p, but occassionally I get a bit more power. I'd have kept the 5700 (I sold it to a good friend) if not for the issues I was having.

Secondary reasoning for the RTX 2070 is that I just wanted to use DXR again, and with Metro Exodus's new DLC that follows Sam's story coming very soon, and non-Super 2070s coming down below the £400 price-barrier for my GPU purchasing, I figured "why not!". Anyway, great card and should last me till next year at least (lol).

Mine is an EVGA FTW card, so high factory OC that it kills 1070 :)


I remember when I had my GTX 980 Ti; it was a Giga Windforce card, I think I lucked out with the silicon lottery. It would do 1580 MHz pretty rock solid and I was benching close to stock GTX 1080s at the time. 980 Ti is really a champ, ironically its relevance will remain for a lot longer than the AMD alternative at the price point at the time.
