I don’t see a 5090 laptop. Guess I need to upgrade to 5090 desktop?

So what about AMD?

I can’t find my AMD card on the list, when should I upgrade?

Colors in the legend made the most sense, thanks

I’m pretty sure I need to upgrade soon. lol. Recently, every time I install something to my HDD, my computer totally shits itself and lags like no tomorrow. Even Ctrl Alt Delete will take like 30 seconds to respond.

Why no 2070s?

My 1080ti is fine still, shit’s been rocking for 8 years now

Already planning my next upgrade. Thinking either 5080 Super, 5090, or wait for 6080 in 2027.

This is stupid. Sure, I can play whatever games in 720p 30fps and it works just fine. But is it enjoyable? Hell no.

I have an AMD card, what do I do? 😭

This will always be the best advise if you’re after value.

Whelp seeing as my RTX 3050 ain’t there sounds like its time

some gpu expert kindly tell me the ideal gpu for this selection of fave games
my guess is 3080 for witcher rtx as the most demanding game?

Where’s my EVGA GTX 970 ssc acx 2.0+ oc 3.5gb?

That’s right bitches, the more you buy the more you save. It just works.

We are rapidly approaching the timeline where a new GPU line comes out every single year and when asked what’s new and improved about them this year the NVidia CEO will just say “This year, it’s got a 9 on the box” and the dumbs will cheer him.

I agree completely. Still playing Minecraft and WoW with my 1660ti 👀😉

Literally forgot about non Ti 3080.

My card not even there.

Oh look all that upvotes this must be pcmr alright got that aleinware prebuilt so upvote with that knowledge.
Meanwhile its been reported that 10 series and older the cuda support will stop this year
Do not reply back saying this “meme” is saying only upgrade if the game you like is no longer working yeah i read that. The games today updates add new features that very well might just say hey sorry card not working.
Cyberpunk/gta ee/cod just as examples fire up on old cards they say sorry not playing that on here.
So the realty is if you are not on a 20series card get a jar out the save up for a 9060/20series/30series/40 series card heck Even intel B series. cards

Upgrade every year and sell your old one for the same price. That’s what I do now lol

I don’t see my GT710

1050 TI I should upgrade
CyriousLordofDerp
Titan X going to Titan Volta here shortly, both watercooled. Already had the Volta block so figured I might as well make use of it.
Stock to stock the Volta is something like 25-30% stronger than the T-X Maxwell, and thats before overclocking is added in.

Hey. My 2080 Super is still in the upgrade when my fav games stop working section. Good.

Good chart!

1070 ti still does what I need it to. Can’t justify spending 3-5k for a new top model.
HimothyOnlyfant
upgrade exactly when you feel like upgrading.
never choose to upgrade because marketing and peer pressure make you think you have to and never choose not to upgrade because people online are jealous.
if you want better graphics and can afford to you should upgrade even if the games you play are technically working. if you already have a later gen card and getting the latest gen will increase performance by 5% then you probably shouldn’t feel the need to upgrade.

I liked looking at this list. Jumped from 1060 to 3080 this year ☺️

My card isn’t listed, what does that mean?

Seems the 4070 Super didn’t make the list. Guess I’ll have to upgrade.

Where’s my GTX 950 at yo?
Bill_Quentin
Thank you. I needed this.
My fiance just upgraded and is basically identical to mine except they got a 5090 and i’m on a 4080-S.
My 4080 has never struggled a day in its life, and I’ve been happy as could be… but seeing that 5090 box ignited something in me and my wallet started feeling hot.
