Which generation is your Graphics Card?

[beedoo]

6900XT Liquid Devil, which I'll probably just give away when I get a 7950XTX or higher...

It's a great card by the way. No complaints whatsoever.

I'm surprised that the 3000 series is on top, considering that you couldn't buy one (at a resonable price) to save your life. And that's why nvidia keeps pushing the prices up, because they saw that the sheep will pay pretty much anything for the cards.

I'm surprised to see the RX 7000 series at the bottom, I thought they are better value with all that VRAM.

Wonders never cease.

Sarcasm acknowledged. But seriously, what were you expecting? 7000 just came out, only has high-end SKUs, and AMD sells 1/5 of NV's volume regardless. 7000 not being on the bottom would have been a miracle.

I hear ya, but the RTX 4000 aren't exactly famous for being good value for money.

Well, look at it this way. By this poll, 7000 has 38% share relative to 4000. That's not a bad showing historically speaking, given there's only two Red SKUs available and Green's got four plus a head start.

ARC ARC ARC, ill never buy anything from AMD Garbage RT and Nvidia Superior Class

From 150$ to 360$ only ARC

Primary PC: A770 16GB
Secondary PC: A750 8GB
Home Server: A380 6GB

Each one can Quicksync and AV1 and opensource Software tooo, none of the aviable GPU from others till 400$ can handle AV1,
even my celeron can Handle AV1.

Edit: One Thing, i miss the FPS Limiter in the driver from Nvidia but theres RTSS

 

[dirtyferret]

the votes for the older cards, (geforce 3xxx, RX6xxx, and older) is hardly a surprise. What is a surprise is that you have 15k votes yet we basically have around 100 members who post in "gaming" related threads yet many of those members think their top end parts represent the PC gamer industry as whole and toss a hissy fit whenever anyone brings up STEAM hardware stats.

 

[AUTOEXEC.BAT]

Primary PC Xeon X5687: Nvidia Quadro K4000
Secondary PC Dual Xeon E5-2690 v2: AMD Firepro w7000 4GB

I don't play recent games, and i wanted clean looking cards from AMD and NVIDIA itself.

Happy owner of an RTX 3080 card, and no plan to upgrade until 2 more generations at least.
Currently thee are 0 (ZERO) games that are worth a GPU upgrade. Bad ports are not a reason to.

I wish I could upgrade in 2 generations. Went from HD3650 512MB>RX 560 4g>6750 XT 12g. Huge leaps never really got into gaming after I stopped playing UT2004 onslaught. That was some years back. Got the 6750 XT for COD and for my current build to upgrade from the RX 560. Which honestly wasn't a bad card. First Warzone 1.0 had to play using moderate and low settings in 1080p it was like avg 65fps and it was fine to me didn't lag or stutter just low quality lol. Now that I have a 6750 XT I was hoping it could last at least 4 or 5 generations in my current build. Yes I will upgrade to more ram later but 16gigs is fine for now.

RX 6700 XT here. Runs new AAA games fine even with 4K if I use a turn the visuals down a little.

 

[oli_ramsay]

Vega 64 lol

Recently upgraded to a used 5700 XT from a 1060 3GB. Not the latest & greatest but I only game at 1080p with a Haswell so this setup can max out pretty much everything I play Not to mention I avoided giving nvidia/AMD any of my money which is always a plus

Welcome to TPU! Totally a great upgrade as 3GB of VRAM starts to be pretty "meh" these days. Just watched a video from RGinHD about the 1060 3GB yesterday:

I watched that video as well, interestingly enough Halo would run quite well on 3GB when it first came out, but it got worse and worse with updates until something broke it completely. It's one of the games I play the most, so that motivated me to go for the upgrade. I also run Linux where AMD drivers are much better than nvidia, not that I've had any issues on Windows so far.

Also, thank you for your reply! It's always nice to get a warm welcome on a new community!

I got off the upgrade train long ago, and am quite content with my 30 dollar AMD Firepro W7000 4GB from 2012. I did BIOS mod this card with a small overclock, then under-volted it and fixed the lame original fan curve using VBE7. I repasted it using MX-4 and it runs around 60C-65C under load. Since I game on a 32" 1360x768 Samsung TV I have found that this card can play everything out there I have any interest in at least a frame limited 30FPS. Newest games I have found work fine on this relic of a card are Far Cry 6 which runs at a mix of medium/high settings, Cyberpunk 2077 which runs with a mix of low/medium settings, and Red Dead Redemption 2 which runs with a mix of medium/high settings. The Amernime modded AMD drivers are a big part of how well this card performs, and I currently have no desire to upgrade from 'Finewine'. I like the card enough I just picked up a spare for 25 dollars. So obviously I answered the poll with RX5000 and older lol.

Ah, looks like a FirePro variant of HD 7870. That 4GB VRAM probably helps more than many would think these days.

I agree definitely, the 4GB is the main reason why this particular Pitcairn GCN1.0 card interested me enough to try it. The 2GB on the consumer versions of the Pitcairn GPU really limit their usefulness now no doubt.

Where is the RX 480 or older than RX480 options?

my garage pc is running an HD4870 lol

That goes to "Radeon RX 5000 or older" category

Currently on a GTX 1070 since 2016... Finally bit the bullet and got a 6800 XT coming next week

My Nvidia GeForce GT 1030 (the DDR5 version) is way below specs for the new 'Layers of Fear' demo or 'Amnesia: The Bunker' demo, but runs them just great.

 

[GoldenTiger]

Still on my rtx 3080 ftw3 ultra hybrid from Dec 2020. Got it for sub msrp through the evga queue with a coupon code. I game at 4k and have been since 2014!

 

[sk111]

Recently upgraded to Asus RX 6650 XT from an MSI oc edition of GTX 970. The RX 6650 XT really performs above expectations for what I play. I have it plugged in a dell T5810 Xeon E5-1650v3 OC @ 4.4 Ghz.

 

[solarmystic]

Still on the 2080TI listed in my spec list. Bought it last year for only 300 USD after crypto crashed and fully intend to use it for the next five years unless I can get 4080 level performance with at least 16GB VRAM for under 600 USD before that time is up. Looking at the current GPU landscape, it looks like I'll be waiting for a longgg time.
