Most GPU Upgrades Aren't Worth It, I Built a Calculator to Prove It
I run a small project called best-gpu.com, a site that ranks GPUs by price-to-performance. While browsing PC building forums and Reddit, I kept seeing the same question: “What should I upgrade to from my current GPU?” Most answers are just lists of cards without showing the actual performance gain, so people often end up paying for upgrades that barely improve performance. So I built a small tool: a GPU Upgrade Calculator. You enter your current GPU and it shows: estimated performance gain a value score based on price vs performance a filtered list of upgrade options (brand, price, VRAM,…

What it does
Find out if upgrading your GPU is worth it. Enter your current graphics card and see the best upgrades on Amazon, ranked by performance gain per dollar.
We benchmark every available GPU listing against the one you already own, daily. One question. One answer. No listicles, no guesswork. Add your GPU for a tailored verdict — or leave it blank to see the best GPUs for this goal. Hundreds of listings tracked across 184+ GPU models: every NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel card currently for sale, new and used. Prices refreshed daily. Every card gets a unified Perf Index: 70% weighted 3DMark Time Spy, 30% FP32 throughput. No marketing claims, just benchmarks you can verify. How much faster you get per $100 spent. Higher is better. Over 25 is a steal, under 8; wait for next-gen. We tell you exactly where each listing sits. Blends 3DMark Time Spy (70%) and…from best-gpu.com

GPU Prices on eBay2024 · gpupricecompare.com · ▲97Howdy! Keeping with the trend of being influenced by https://diskprices.com, I wanted to make a resource for GPUs on eBay that also take into account a performance metric I tend to look at when checking GPUs. It's still a work in progress, but it's at a state where I think some of HN might find it useful! There are a few things that I have planned to add in the coming day(s): 1. Filters for compatible slots and connectors 2. Expand for different eBay regions, rather than just US focus Let me know if you have any questions or want more / different filters on the page or if I…
Categorised eBay GPU Prices2024 · gpu-prices.com · ▲9I've made a GPU comparison site: https://gpu-prices.com/US/ Yes, there was one yesterday - I got beaten to it. This one is different in that I've put a lot of work into categorisation, so you can filter down quite precisely. For example, VRAM-per-dollar, limiting to Nvidia, and a minimum performance score allow you to find good ML GPUs. It currently supports Australia, Canada, Ireland, the UK, and the US. The tech stack is Python for data pull and static site generation then Cloudflare Pages for actually serving the site. It updates three times a day, but I could increase…
