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
In the maker’s words, at launch
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, etc.) The goal is simply to help people avoid spending money on upgrades that aren’t really worth it. Curious to hear feedback from HN on the approach, data sources, or features that would make something like this more useful. https://best-gpu.com/upgrade.php

Howdy! 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…

I'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…

Like others, I was inspired by the article on diskprices.com, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39066480 and I thought GPUs would be a good product for this style of site (but I have been beaten to the punch for the GPUprices.com domain). How it's done: I have used the Amazon product API (PAAPI v5), as I had access due to having at least 3 sales with the amazon affiliate program. Using the API and some python code I'm able to curate searches somewhat, removing things like water blocks, laptops and full systems that show up when sorting by price. I have used a static page…
