Graphics Card comparison site?

[Tarragon]

Looking to upgrade Graphics Card is a nightmare.

- Read all recommended/minimum specs but there are no clues which are best (speed or value).
- Searched over a dozen sites for comparisons but most are not comprehensive.
- Took a list down to my FLCS and they claim half of them are no longer made.
- Their best suggestion is not listed on the best comparison site I found.

Does Steam have a recommended user friendly comparison site(s)?
If not could they commission one to be thrown together?

Thx - Tarragon

for current cards

http://www.pchardwarelinks.com/video.htm

things to look at
memory bandwidth more = better
Pixel and vertex shader count more = better

as well as the number of Render output pipeline or ROPS ..more = better

for older gen cards

http://www.pchardwarelinks.com/video_g.htm

same applies as noted above but also look at DX support as many on that last page do not support DX 11 shaders ..and are the old old gen cards that only had up to DX 9 or 10 support

and really you wanna stick with the cards from the first link as many of them support DX 12 +

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-960-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1660S-Super/3165vs4056

can give a good idea

or
http://www.hwcompare.com/38034/geforce-gtx-1660-ti-vs-geforce-gtx-960/
good to compare amd/amd or nvidia/nvidia, but not across them
they use the parts too differently to compare specs directly

also when looking to upgrade your GPU you need to first understand two things

does your monitor have the input cable needed to connect to it ? ..or will you need an ADAPTER if you have an older screen it may not have HDMI or display port options and only support DVI or VGA

many modern cards only support Display port or maybe a single HDMI connector and no DVI port (and NO VGA port as that's wayyy too old and you should replace that screen anyway )

..plus will the power supply in your PC , have the correct power connectors and enough wattage to support the new card .. to install and use the new GPU ..that's 2 things you need to look into ..before you shop ..as you may also need to replace your power supply or your monitor as well ( or try to find an adapter )

"Comprehensive" and "user friendly" don't really go together when it comes to pc hardware. You probably want the "user friendly" which is what you'll see all over the place, even here.

People on Steam can tell you what the best cards are for the best price and if you really want the details that will make your head hurt, then it's going to be tl;dr and complicated.

[Magma Dragoon]

Just look up what the current generations of cards are and then look up benchmarks for them. Benchmarks typically compare the card being tested against contemporary competing models.

What card do you have now, what is your budget?

[hawkeye]

The appropriate gpu mostly depends on your monitor specs (or model), the games you want to do better in and budget. To a lesser extent your cpu but that's also important. If you can identify those, the rest is fairly easy.

Hardware Unboxed is pretty good. Fire up one of their videos and pause when they get to the graphs.

[Nabster]

Tell us your current PC specs including cpu, ram, GPU, psu, monitor resolution and refresh rates, your budget and we will tell you to focus on a few GPU.

I assume you play the latest AAA games, if not let us know too.

Just google "Graphics card" vs "Graphics card" .. And GPU/CPU benchmark or whatever is the first link, it's easier to just type it in google than to navigate their site ..

[Solarrus]

Just google X vs Y. Follow youtube links.
