GPU Charts: Normalized Performance Rating

JeffyB · 23 Nov 2009 at 14:07

Saw this chart and thought it might be useful to some here, compiled from hundreds of datasets and normalized into one chart.

Thank you for the. I want to upgrade from a 8800GT to a Radeon HD5870 (when I can find one that's actually in stock) and according to those charts I get a net increase of 158% in terms of performance which is exactly the kind of leap in speed I want to get when upgrading my hardware.

Thanks for this chart, it has given me a good insight on where my GPU is on and average rating...

GobzzzMp3 · 23 Nov 2009 at 15:29

Are these scores accurate do u know? Just wondering...

DeadMan · 23 Nov 2009 at 15:45

interesting...

Would be good to have some stats with say 2x overclocked 5870's + water blocks and 1 overclocked 5970 with waterblock and then work out a value / performance index.

Just reinforces what a good buy a 5870 was for £300. Better and cheaper than all those SLi/crossfire configs way below it!

260 sli 1 step behind and 60£ Cheaper

Yeah, now that they are EOL and a few are cheap as chips, who the hell would buy a 260 SLi setup new now?

Interesting chart but I disagree with some of the placings. A 4870 above an GTX275 and a 4890 above a GTX285?

In about 10% of tests maybe.

Well my 3870 x2 is in about the right place.. heh..

These are actually very nifty, while I'll continue to do my own research its a handy guideline. I especially like the upgrade guidance saying go 2-3 above your current rating.

thanks

Hmm says a 5870 is 16% faster than a GTX295, not sure about that

DeadMan · 23 Nov 2009 at 16:22

Moving from 2 watercooled GTX280's (model 1) to 1 watercooled 5970 (model 2):

Model 2 performance is +38.55%
and cost is -26.67%
.
Model 2 is a+65.22% improvement! (cost vs performance)

straxusii · 23 Nov 2009 at 16:33

And it says the 9800GTX is 3% slower than the 8800GTX, that can't be right can it as it's the later model

Recommending I grab a 5870 or cf 5770, which I may do.

Toastor · 23 Nov 2009 at 17:13

Interesting chart, thanks for the link.

hideki · 23 Nov 2009 at 17:17

ouch my 8800 scored a 2.6

ebilcake · 23 Nov 2009 at 18:02

Interesting, mostly correct but a few oddities there.

nikebee · 23 Nov 2009 at 18:21

I'm planning on Crossfiring two 5870's or using a single 5970... I'd see 300% (ish) performance boost over my current 8800GTX apparently...

Hmmm...
