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 ?
 
Went from 8600k & GTX 1060 3GB to 9700k and GTX 1660ti on my Z370 mobo

Edit; According to the TPU chart that's a 51% GPU increase
 
1080ti to 2080ti... not the most cost effective upgrade but needed it as the 1080ti was struggling with the ultrawide pretty noticeably.
 
By platform you mean a CPU + motherboard combo ? I got this Z370+i5 8600k back in autum of 2017, went from a 980Ti to a 1070Ti and now an RTX 2080, so i would say about 50% in 1440p.
But i should have waited with my Z77 + 3770k for another two years and get a nice Ryzen 3700x in 2019. Oh well, maybe i will get an B550 board with a Ryzen 4600 this summer/autum of 2020.
Too bad they don't make motherboards with PCI slots and i will have to ditch out my XFI Music.

52% at FHD (100/66)

thank God for TPU charts to make questions like these possible

I mean socket.

and 980ti to 2080 is actually 92% (1.92x faster) 100/52 is almost twice

if vram was the point then a sidegrade since no performance lost was the motivation,not gained.
 
all underlying hardware bought used nearly 5 years ago:
5960x started with a gtx 780 then 980ti and since couple of months a 1080ti

that's huge.
 
I started with two 780 Ti's but I removed one to cut down on heat and power usage since I don't really play games anymore. The few games I do play still run more than well enough with just one anyway.
 
I went from 980Ti to 1080Ti for performance and then 2070 super for lower noise.

Those tables are too generic. I got about 50% on average in the games i play. Since a GTX 980Ti is stock at 1000Mhz iirc and most of them come overclocked from the factory, and they gain about 10-20% more performance.

yeah i second that-for lower noise- with my reference blower 1080ti which got an old unused morpheus slapped on it

980 ti the last gpu who gave frames for more mhz-my 1080ti seems to dont mind giving moar frames running undervoltet on 1800mhz fixed or with boost to 200mhz more
 
before I had z77 with 2500K paired with 7870ghz,r9 290 trix,then two in CF (hated it),then gtx 980,then 980Ti.when I went 144hz I just had to ditch z77 in favor of 4790K.
 
R9 Fury -> GTX980Ti -> GTX1080Ti

I managed to sell the R9 Fury right at the end of mining craze, which means that a 220$ (after 20$ MIR) card was sold for 350$. I picked up the GTX980Ti for 300$ and pocketed the difference, and eventually picked up an RMA return GTX1080Ti in January of 2019.

I had a GTX 950 Xtreme '~stock 1050 perf' when I built this Ryzen system in 2018 May and then a few months later bought this RX 570 4g.

I do plan on another GPU upgrade this year,something like the 1660 super or slightly better if 5600 XT turns out well.
 
I went from:
a 2600 and 1060 3GB
to a 2600 with a GTX 1660 Ti
to a 3700x with the GTX 1660 Ti
then to a RTX 2060 Super with the 3700x

So for me my current rig is twice as fast (or faster) than it was with the 2600/1060.
 
I brought my GPU with me to my new z390 system. I wasn’t sure. Which poll option to choose. It keeps playing everything I play to my standards.

almost exactly 2x

none.you never upgraded the gpu on z390.
 
Still stuck on this R9 270X, that's even losing Linux support...
 
my 1080ti still kicking it perfect match for my monitor, best investment I made for GPU.
 
This system started with 2x HD5870's, then went to a 7970, then two 7970's and now a RX480.

The RX480 is less heat than the 5870's, and about 2x performance.

When I upgrade again, it's will be a Threadripper, so this one is as good as it's probably going to get.
 
I went from i5 6500 with GTX1070 to i7 6700K with GTX1070.
Now i7 6700K with RTX2070 Super.
 
pc1: gtx 760ti to gtx 1070
pc2: gtx 750 to 1050ti (1050ti getting noisy, so im looking for 1060 or something)
pc3: gtx 750 to 760ti (2gb vram or 8gb memory getting no enough...)
pc4: amd apu to rx580
